The machinists are still out on strike
on the Southern Railway for a nine
hour day and a slight increase per
hour. Latest advices are to the ef-
feet that the mechanical department of
the equipment is sadly in need of
pair, and as it is difficult to secure
machinists the impression prevails
among the machinists that an early

CHILDREN STIR UP
FAMILY STRIFE.

Family strife. which almost led to
blows, was engendered yesterday by
the hearing in Judge Graham's court
of the petition of Mrs. Elizabeth Brum-
field for letters of guardianship for her
4-year-old niece, Oracle Arditto, for the
alleged abduction OF whom a criminal
case is now pending against her. Since
the suicide of Gracie's mother year
ago. there has been a constant round
of bitter rivalry between Mrs Brum-
field and the little girls father and
his parents as to who should have the
custody of the child, the trouble finally
reaching its climax in the present ac-
tions in court.
Despondent because her husband,
David, was subject to fits, Mrs. Lille
Arditto ended her life by taking car
bolic acid at her home on Eighteenth
street at noon on December II Of
last year. note was found addressed
to her husband in which she made the
last appeal to him to care for her chill
dren. 1t read;

Fifteen candidates were initiated at
the last meeting of Machinists Union
No. 6s and twelve applications for
membership received. There is some
trouble in an auto livery, where the
men went out on strike because non
union help was taking the place of
machinists belonging to the union. It
was stated that circulasr were being
sent throughout the East stating that
the minimum wage for machinists in
this city was $4.50, while the correct
figure is $3.50. These misleading state
ments are doing a great injury to the
machinists. The lodge is in pros
