BRICKLAYERS ON STRIKE.
Trouble for the Waycross Water
works Contractors.

Waycross, Ga, May 1.-THE brick
layers employed on the new water
works station went on strike this
morning. The bricklayers here organ
lied a union some time ago, and most
of the brick work going on in the city,
has been under the control of the
union, and the trouble at the water
works station seems to be as to the
number Of hours to be put in in a day.
The men have been putting in nine
hours per day for a days work, which
is the rule of the union. At the water
works station, however, in order to
finish the job as early as possible the
Waterworks Commissioners requested
that the men put in ten hours per day.
At first, it is claimed, they agreed to
work ten hours with the assurance of
the contractor that they would be paid
time and a half for the extra hour
until the headquarters of the union
was heard from. Notwithstanding this,
the strike was called this morning, and
the men quit work. There is as yet
no intimation as to how the strike
will terminate. but it is thought that
work will be resumed shortly.

MANUFACTURERS IN MEETING.
Labor Problem Was Discussed by
President Parry.

Pittsburg, May 17.--Nearly 200 dele
gates were in their seats when the
ninth annual convention of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
was called to order to-day In his
annual address President D. NJ. Par
ry briefly discussed the labor problem,
saying
The theory that the condition of
labor can be bettered by checking
production and making life and prop
ertY insecure was put to an extensive
test, and the results were disappoint-
ing to those who believe in that theory.
There are many indications which go
to show that organized la Dor is learn
ing very valuable lesson in economics
and law observance, and hopes can
be reasonably entertained that the
strikes which have characterized the
last year will be less strenuous in the
immediate future"
Speaking of the closed shop, Mr. Par
ry said:
The closed shop is against public
policy and is of. doubtful legality The
liberty of the individual would be Inn
possible if he is debarred from the right
to contract for his services because
he does not belong to a union. l be-
lieve that this truth will become gen.
orally recognized, and that the day
must come when no industry will be
allowed to run on the closed shop plan"

INSTRUCT SAYS BARDwIcK.

Congressman T. w. Hardwick favors
an instructed Georgia delegation to the
st. Louis Democratic Convention. He
says: Georgia should instruct her
delegates for Parker If the state sentt-
ment is to prevail and IL we expect to
WELD the influence Georgia is capable
of WELDING by reason of her past politi-
cal record. There is no doubt that
Parker is the man the whole state
wants nominated at st. Louis. Why,
then, should our delegates go unin-
structed? The only reason / have heard
advanced against instructions is that
Georgia has not heretofore put in
structions on her delegation. Even IL
this were true, which is not the case,
the conditions this year warrant a
change. Georgia has instructed her
delegates when IT was found neces-
sary to get the will of the people ex-
pressed at the rational convention, and
in my opinion the occasion for doing
il again Is at hand"
