RESORTS ARE READY
FOR SUNDAY RUSH.
Amusement Park Mt ThunderbOlt
Prepared for To-day's Exodus.

Amusement Park Mt ThunderbOlt
Prepared for TO-day's Exodus.
The weather man says it will be
warmer to-day, which means that there
will be a general exodus of Savannah
ians to the resorts. Though the sea-
son is not yet in full blast, Thunder
bolt. Tybee and Isle of Hope have. pre-
pared for the Sunday crowds, and are
being largely patronized.
The amuSements at Electric Park,
which were very popular last Sunday,
will probably be even more so to-day,
because of the moderation in the
weather. In order to handle the crowds,
Manager Labb, who returned from New
York yesterday, has put extra cars on
the toboggan, or switch-back and has
arranged with the Electric Company
for ten more cars than usual to trans
port the visitors.
The toboggan has proven the most
interesting of the three amusement
places which are now being operated.
The ride around and down sudden in
clines is exciting and exhilirating. Some
of the more timid have refrained from
fear. Manager Uabb says that out of
twenty-five toboggans operated in the
United States in the last year, which
were built by his company, there has
never been an accident. The cars are
fastened to a cable by a steel device
that could not be broken with a sledge
hammer, and are fastened to the track
with eight more strong clets. In adj
dition, the cars are low and fiat, and
protected on either side by an enclos-
ure of seventeen inches in hight.
The toboggan is responsible for a.
new diversion for the society set. To-
boggan parties are quite the rage. Last
night there were three of these. The
Misses Taylor, Mr. Savage Lyman and
Mr.. G.. G. Hayward, Jr., formed one;
Mr.. Robert T. Waller, Mr.. Robert Dem
ham, Mr.. Tatnall Pritchard, Miss Ora
Adams, Miss Nellie White and Miss
Mary Wayne, a second; while the third
was composed of Miss Georgia Wayne,
Miss Ethel McIntire, Miss Eileen Hun
ter, Mr.. william May, Mr.. Alex Hull,
Mr.. Neyle Simkins and Mr.. Joseph
Clay Colquitt.

SAVANNAH is The
VESTS GATEWAY
FREIGHT FROM BALTIMORE
NOW BROUGHT HERE AND SHIPPED
TO WESTERN CITIES.

Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company and Central of
Georgia Enter Into Agreement to
Bring Freight by Steamers From
baltimore and ship by Rail to
western POfnts-First Cargo of
Freight Under New Arrangement
Arrives ON Itasca To-day.
That Savannah is the gateway to
the great Western grain fields and
should receive the great portion of
Western grain and produce for ship
ment to foreign countries is shown by
an announcement made in Baltimore
on Friday that the Merchant and Min
ers' Transportation Company had per-
fected arrangements to run package
freight cars through to Kansas City,
Oklahoma, Topeka, Omaha and other
Western points by way of Savannah.
The freight will be shipped from Bal
tip1ore to Savannah by the Merchant
and Miners steamers and from this
rort over the Central of Georgia and
Frisco lines the freight will be car
ried to the Western cities. According
to the announcement made in Balti-
more by the Merchant and Miners
transportation Companys officials the
new arrangement went into effect on
Friday.
The Savannah agent of the company
said yesterday that the first cargo of
freight under this new arrangement
will arrive this morning on the steam
ship Itasca and will be unloaded at
the Central of Georgia wharves for
shipment to the West. The freight
consists for the most part of mer-
chandise and farming implements.
prominent ship broker, in speaking
of the new arrangement, stated that
it proved conclusively that Savannah,
and not Baltimore, was the logical port
for the receipt and shipment of all
freight coming out of, or consigned to
the Western states. During the last
few months, he stated, thousands of
bales of cotton have been shipped to
Savannah from Oklahoma and Indian
territory to be shipped to Europe.
He declared that If Baltimore were
a better port for handling Western
freights it was not logical that car
goes of freight would be shipped from
that city to Savannah and transferred
to the rail here, but would be shipped
direct from Baltimore to the West. Sa-
vannah, he declared, undoubtedly has
better railroad facilities for reaching
the West than has Baltimore or Phil
adelphia.

PLUMBERS STRIKE
THING OF PAST
NO CONCESSIONS MADE.
DEMANDS WERE NOT PRESENTED
TO MASTER PLUMBERS.

| Seven Union Men who Gave Up PO-
sitions to Go on Strike Returned
to work-Had Been Voted Down
by the UnempIOyed-WiIl Present
Request to Master Plumbers to
Increase Wages-EmpIOyed Men
Decide Not to Tie Fortune to I'm
employed Union Men.
Seven of the striking plumbers re-
turned to work yesterday morning,
| and the seven men who were out of
employment at the time the strike
was ordered are still striking"
The demands drawn up at the meet
ing of the strikers Friday were not
presented to the Master Plumbers AS
ISOLATION and the men returned to
work without any concessions being
made.
The sudden termination of the strike
was caused by disagreement in the
Plumbers Union. The men who were
employed at the time the union voted
to go out were not in favor of max
ing a demand for a reduction in the
work hours, but they were voted down
by the unemployed men.
A conference was held yesterday
morning by the men who had given
up their positions, and 1t was de-
cided to return to work without maxi
ing any fur ther demands OF their en-
ployers. In accordance with this
agreement the men presented them
selves at the shops they walked out
of on Thursday morning and were
given their former positions. They
will now make a request that their
employers increase the pay from $3.25
to 81 per diem.
No Demands Were Made.
Mr.. l.. A. Mccarthy stated to a
Morning News reporter yesterday that
the men reported for duty at the reg
ular hour in all the union shops, and
that no demands have been presented
to the Master Plumbers Association.
He stated that the few days the men
had remained out had caused the en-
ploying plumbers considerable trouble
in fulfilling existing contracts. He
does not anticipate any further trouble
and declared that there is no hard feel
ing existing between the employers
and the men.
Another member of the Master
Plumbers Association stated that the
dSSOCldLlOH w ia d(t any OOti~
munication forwarded by the union
men, and that 1t Is not necessary FOR
them to go on a strike. He, too, be-
lieves that the whole trouble was
brought on by the union men who are
out of employment and declared THAI
the only reason they were not en-
ployed is due to the fact that they are
not competent workmen, and the
Plumbers Association will not agree
to any demands that will force them
to discharge competent non-union
helpers, and employ union men who
are not competent.
Judgment Was Not Good.
One of the strikers who has returned
to work stated that after due deliber-
alton the men holding positions de-
cided that they were acting with poor
judgment to tie their fortunes to those
of the union men who were unable TO
hold positions II they should secure
them. He stated that the best OF
feeling existed between the master
plumbers and the union men now en-
pIoyed, and that he felt confident the
master plumbers were disposed to treat
them riSht.
The disagreement among the strik-
ers may cause the union to divide,
or the employed men to withdraw en-
tirely. 1t was learned that a majority
Of the employed men were opposed TO
