No. eS and twelve applications fol
membership received. There is sons
trouble in an auto livery. where tn,
men went out on strike because non
union help was taking the place o.
machinists belonging to the union. L
was stated that circulasr were beins
sent throughout the East stating thai
the minimum wage for machinists in
this city was $4.5o, while the correct
figure is $3.50. These misleading state
ments are doing a great injury to the
machinists. The lodge is in a pros
porous condition.

on the Southern Railway for a nine
hour day and 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
settlement will result.
