Weekly industrial Review.

Columbus, Ga, June 1S.-(Special )--The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regular week. ly issue:
 "The continued development of water powers and the transforming of the energy thus obtained into electric power, constitute an important factor In the extensive and unceasing industrial up- building in Georgia and Alabama As an example a $20O,OO0 company, with s15OO already paid in. has just been organized at Newton, Ala, to develop water power of the Choctawhatchee river, near that city and to build a power house from which electric energy will be transmitted to cities and towns of that section for manufacturing and other purposes. Two other definitely projected developments of the same character are reported by the Index this week. At Griffin, Ga., a grist mill with a daily capacity of 2OOO bushels of meal Is to be built and will be operated with electric power gen. erated at Towaliga Falls, several miles away. A flour roller mill will be added later The production of cheap power that can be delivered in quantities and at places to suit the purchaser must stim- ulate and attract manufacturing.

UNION OF RAILWAY
 MAIL CLERKS GROWS
CLAIM THEIR WAGES WERE NOT RAISED, LIKE OTHER EMPLOY EEs, IN TEN YEARS-ALso DE- MAND SHORTER HOURS.

Washington, June 1S.-(Special.) .)-With slogan, railway mail clerks throughout the country are said to be fast perfecting an organization. There are two hundred thousand employees and it is claimed over one hundred and fifty thousand of them are already enrolled. The eastern em- ployes are said to have been particularly active and there are now few roads run ming into New York whose clerks are not on the roll of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks whose national headquarters is In Kansas City.
 Many efforts have been made within the last decade to organize the clerks of east ern roads, but until recently very little headway has been made. Now, the clerks say, conditions have forced them to or ganize and to make fight for their own interests. They assert that within the last ten years engine drivers. firemen and all other employees In the railway busl- ness have obtained repeated advances in wages, commensurate with the increased cost of living, while the clerks, In most cases, have been obliged to work for the same salary they received ten years ago.
 Railway clerks salaries in and around New York range from $25 to $50 a month and thousands of men are receiving today the same pay established by the roads when they began doing business. The clerks also complain that they are re- quired to work about eleven hours a day on the average and allowed no extra pay for overtime. The salaries of all the rall- way clerks In New York city and adjacent yards average about $65 month. The average time they work is twelve hours a day. They complain also that in most cases they get no vacations or Saturday half holidays, as is the case with most other salaried employees; that, while they are the lowest paid of all railway en- ployes, their services are most important in the general conduct of the business.
