FIND FOR PLAINTIFF
AGAINST GERMANIA.
Damages Just EqualIed sum oHered
in Settlement of Case.

damages Just Equaiied sum Ofered
in Settlement of Case.
A verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of $50. was returned by a City Court
jury yesterday, in the case of S.
Wachstein, against the Germania
Bank.
When the case was filed against the
bank an offer of settlement was made.
and $50 was the sum the bank offered
for a withdrawal of the suit. This Of
fer was declined by the plaintiff and
the case went to trial.
The suit arose because the Germania
declined to cash a check for SAB, which
the plaintiff had drawn on It. Evil
dence was adduced to show that at the
time Wachstein had sufficient money
on deposit to cover the check. He
brought suit for a large sum, but the
jury decided that $50 would square the
case and be equitable to all parties
concerned.

Matter Has Not Been Even COnsid-
cred by Officers Here.
There is very little likelihood of any
of the Savannah military attending the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt.
The Atlanta dispatch in the Morning
News yesterday in regard to the letter
to Gov. Terrell about the Georgia
military at the Inauguration was read
with a good deal of interest by the
officers and men, here, but none of
them seemed to care about going.
Il had never given the matter a
thought" said Col. G.. Arthur Gordon
of the First Regiment, when asked
about it. Il suppose l will get let
ter from the Adjutant Generals Of
fee about it later. None of the Sa-
Vannah troops have ever gone to an
inauguration, however. except to the
Inauguration of Cleveland, and don't
suppose any will go this time"

BICYCLE THIEVES ARE
AGAIN VERY ACTIVE,
Three or Four Wheels REPORTED
Missing Each Day.

For the last week bicycle thieves
have been unusually active, not less
than thirty lost wheels having been
reported to the police. Many of these
were recovered, having been picked up
by patrolmen and carried to police
headquarters, where they were held
until the owners called for them.
Five reports of stolen wheels were
received yesterday, despite the damp
weather, which usually keeps bicycles
in doors. Several bicycle thieves have
been arrested recently, but new cul-
prits seem to turn up every day to
take the place of those who are sent
to the changing.

In the First Quarter Of the Year,
in a Few Industries, En-.
ployment Was Poor.
WAS MUCH IMPROVEMENT LATER.
Twenty Of the 4S Disputes Resulted
in Favor of the Employers and
Five In Favor of Employees.
Nine Were Compromised, and Nearly
All Made Upon Demand for In.
creased Wages, Which Was
the Leading Cause.

Albany, N. Y, Sept 19.-The quar-.
of labor issued Sunday has this to
say as to the situation in state and
nation.
! In the first quarter of the year, ow-
ing to labor disputes, unusually cold
and stormy weather and lessened &C.
tivity in few industries, employment
was very poor; but subsequently there
was so much improvement that June
and July actually surpassed the record
year 1902. Among approximately
100000 wage earners In the various in
dustries of the state, 157 per 1000
were earners in the various industries
of the state, 1877 per 1000 were report
ed idle at the end of June, 1904, as
compared with 231 and 145 in June,
1903, and 1902, respectively; for the
close of July in 1902, 1903 and 1904.
! the respective ratios were 1856. IT'S
and 14S. The principal cause of this
/ Improvement was the phenomenal ac-
tivity in construction work in the lead
ing cities
/ Conditions of employment in the en-
tire country manifest similar improve
ment. according to the late statistics
collected by the American Federation
of Labor. In the September issue OF
! the American Federationist the official
magazine of the federation, it is stated
that among S5,450 members of the
/ ,O32 local unions making returns for
/ July. 1.6 per cent. were without en-
| ployment at the close of the month,
while a month earlier the 1891 unions
making returns reported 81 per cent.
of the membership az unemployed, and
I in July, 1903, the PERCENTAGE of unem-
ployed was" 3:3
Referring to strikes, the bulletin
said that the two overshadowing dis
putes for the second quarter of this
year were the masters and pilots on
the Great Lakes and the New York
Clothing Trades strike against the
open shop. 1t adds:
"In the labor disputes about $4,000
employees were directly concerned. and
probably as many more thrown out OF
employment from some part of the
period of the dispute, the total num-
ber of working days lost being esti-
mated at more than one million.
I About one.half a million days time
was lost by the 1000 masters and
pilots and the 10000 other marine
workmen from New York state effected
by the formers dispute with the Lake
/ Carriers association. The total mum.
Der of workers directly concerned in
disputes begun in April, May and June
was 39,5O0, and the aggregate number
of work days lost was 1923 900. Twen'
ty of the 43 disputes resulted in favor
of the employers and only five in ia.
vor of the employees, while nine were
compromised. The compromises were
nearly all made upon demands for in
creased wages which was still the lead
ing cause of disputes. The employers
were almost uniformly successful in
the disputes involving trade unionism.'
