ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN
WIN THEIR MILEAGE FIGHT
New Contract Signed at Augusta for the Georgia
Railroad

Augusta, Ca, Feb. "a new con-
tract between the engineers and fire
men and the Georgia Railroad was
signed to-day by committees repre-
senting the two brotherhoods and Cen
eral Manager Thomas X. Scott.
The agitation for new pay scale
arrangement had been on for some
time, and w. S. Stone, grand chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and T. Shea, vice grand master
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, have been conducting the ne
gotiations of the men.
The issue for mileage pay was made
about a year ago and Chiefs Youngson
and Hannin of the brotherhoods were
here at the time and effected a COM
promise agreement. This scale did
not prove satisfactory, and the men
again opened negotiations with the
road.
The new contract goes into effect
from Feb. /. The scale is on a mile
age basis and is the first time that
the road has ever paid its trainmen
by the mile. The new contract means
a raise in pay for the engineers of the

RAILROADS IN JAPAN.

Because of the war in which Japan
is now engaged with Russia, and the
part that the railroads are likely to
play in the handling of troops and
supplies some knowledge of them is
of more than ordinary interest.
The total mileage of railroads open
to traffic in Japan at the end of 1900
was 4,025 miles. OF this mileage 1,O59
belonged to the government and 1855
to private companies. The outlay for
construction was S61, 900 900 on the part
of the government and $103, 900, 900 by
private companies.
The profits of the railroads while
satisfactory, are, comparatively speak
ing. low. The government lines have
been laid along the principal thorough
fares in the interior and the private
lines have been constructed where the
largest percentage of returns is as
sured. On all of the lines of Japan.
the number of passengers carried is
larger than the volume of freight, and
the greater part of receipts is from
passenger business.
This is entirely contrary to the ex-
perience in the United States and Eu-
rope, where freight yields the bulk of
the earnings. The excess of passen-
ger earnings in Japan is not due to
the enormous number of passengers
carried. but to the comparative
scarcity of freight. The reason for
this scarcity is that the connection
between the land and sea traffic is not

OPERATIONS y FAD.
Public Gradually Awakens to the Fact.

The latest fad in operations has
been the appendicitis fad; before that
the fad for rectal operations (piles,
etc.), held sway. Hundreds of pa
tients were frightened and hurried in
to hospitals, operated upon and rob
bed of their last dollar, when the
trouble was a simple case of hemorr-
holds or piles only, easily cured at
home with simple remedy costing
but fifty cents a box.
II procured one fifty cent box of
Pyramid Pile Cure of my druggist,
with the intention of buying a larger
box later. but was happily surprised
when l found that I was cured, and
still have six pyramids left out of the
first and only box. 1 have not had
the least sign of piles since used this
one box, which has been about two
months; previous to using Pyramid
Pile Cure 1 had the worst kind of
bleeding and protruding piles for
over thirty-one years, and no one
knows, except those who have had
the piles, the pain and misery suf-
fered.
II am a poor man, but have often
said ] would give a fortune, If I had
it. to be cured of the piles, and now I
have been cured for fifty cents. I
should be very ungrateful if 1 did not

BAL TlM0RE FIRE

should Increase Demand md Price,
Some Dealers Think.
One of the matters of chief interest
to a number of Savannahians in con-
nection with the Baltimore fire is the
effect it may have on the lumber mar
ket.
Many of the lumber manufacturers
and dealers believe it win increase the
demand enormously and will mean not
only orders that will keep the mills
busy for anywhere from six to twelve
months, but will also increase the price
of the product.
Others take the opposite view, claim
ing that when the buildings in the
burned section of the unfortunate city
are erected again, they will be chiefly
with steel frames, and either granite or
brick walls, so that very little yellow
pine will be used in the construction
and that, therefore, the pine market
will hardly be affected.
OF course during the work of con-
struction a large amount of lumber will
structures and for scdffolds, but the
material commonly used for this work
is not the standard yellow pine, but a
cheaper grade of pine that Is cut chiefly
in the Carolinas and Virginia. The
demand for this will be strong and con-
sequently the prices may be increased
for a time it is thought. but will hard
ly keep up, as there Is always a liberal
supply on the market.
1t is conceded, too, even by those who
take the least hopeful view of the
probable demand for yellow pine, that
there will be a certain amount of in
creased business, both for building at
once and to supply yard stocks. Mr..
Charles S. Heard, of the Heard Lumber
Company. will leave for Baltimore next
week to look into the situation

Capt. C. A. Sheldon, of Waycross, is

A. C. |. PAY TRAIN
TO BE RESUMED.
VIII Supersede the Present Check
system in Short Time.

Will Supersede the Present Check
system in short Time.
Within a short time the Atlantic
Coast Line will do away with its check
system of paying its employees on the
second division, and will again inaugu-
rate the pay train. No date has been
set for the installation of this train.
but it is stated that it will be put on
very shortly.
None of the Atlantic Coast Line Off
GERS now in Savannah are able to give
the exact reason for this change Of
the method of payment, but it is I'M
zerstood that one reason is the desire
70 make the same system uniform over
The whole system. Another Is that
JRith the pay train the work of paying
of can be done faster than with the
present system. and still another. that
to be paid in cash is much more sat
isfactory to the men than to be paid
in checks.
The pay train system was in opera
ton on the old Plant System until
within short time of the consolidation
with the Atlantic Coast Line. The
system has been in use for a long time
vi the Ola Atldntlc coast Line, and Is
still in force. 1t is thought this is one
OF the reasons for re-establishing it on
the second division, of which Savan-
nah is the headquarters.
The change will have no effect what
ever on the banks that handle the To-
cal deposits for the system. 1t means
merely that instead of the banks hav-
ing to pay checks, as at present, in flu
tura the cash win be taken out in
lump sum. Enough will be drawn to
pay the men along a certain part of
the road money being drawn from the
different repositories of the company
along the system as needed.
The laborers along the line will be
more than glad to get back to the old
plan of receiving their money. Under
the present check system, 1t is said
many of the persons to whom the
checks are rendered in payment charge
the man presenting it a commission for
cashing 1t. so that unless the holder is
near bank he is forced to lose a part
of his wages in the effort to get the
cash for his work.
