CAR WORKERS GO ON STRIKE 5 Men Affected in Montgomery. FLORIDA SHOPS ARE INCLUDED Repairers, Inspectors and Cleaners
 Quit Work. Refusal sf conpapy to Grant increase or : I-z Cents An Hour Cause TreubIe--siay Have Serious
 EMeet.
FLORIDA SHOPS ARE INCLUDED

Al o'clock yesterday morning every car inspector. car repairer and car cleaner employed at the shops ot the Atlantic Coast Line in West Mont xomery, laid down their tools ana walked out on a general strike.
 The cause of the strike is a dis agreement between the officials of the Coast Line and the Car Workers Gn- ion with regard to a new contract About thirty-fivs men are affected by the strike in the local shops.
 There are four shops affected. those at Montgomery, High Springs, Fla, Waycross. Ga, and Sanford, Fla At the recent conference between officials of the Coast Line and the Car Work CTS Union in Wilmington, the latter demanded an increase of two and one- half cents and flat rate. The com pany offered an increase of two cents an hour, with the pay to be made ac- cording to pieee-work, that is. so much for every piece of work done during fine day.
 With the car repairers and caf in- spectors yesterday, every one of the car cleaners also walked out. The former are all white men, but the car cleaners number about ten negroes men and six negro women. The car inspec- tors and car repairers are members of MM8NDt1A lAO9&Gs NO DO, A hfilOH titat was organized about one year ago. The foreman of the car cleaners. J. R. King. is member of the local union. This union embraces men from the Louisville and Nashville, Western of Alabama, Seaboard Air Line and Gen. tral of Georgia. Magnolia Lodge Is composed of 100 men in Montgomery. the local lodge being member of the Grand Division of the Car Workers Union, which has its headquarters in Chicago.
 Yesterday being Saturday. the strike of the car men was not so noticeable as it would have been on a week day. During the morning hours there was noticeable cessation of work in the de- pArtments affected, but as the entire shop force knocks off at 4i30 D. m.. nothing out Of the ordinary was appa- rent on the surface.
 'aarhe men are out. that's all." said Master Mechanic Pursalf of the Coast Line shops, talking of the trouble yes tertay. and while | don't know just what tho reshlt of it will be. you can say that we will continue business just ae usual. hardly think that the strike will cripple us. though it may

 He did not say whether he would have men enoueh to take the places of the strikers. Unless cars are prompt ly repaired. thefe will be an accumu- lation within the next few days that may be serious Yesterday afternoon he had already begun to make arrange mehts to i'll the places of the striking car cleaners. four or five negroes hav- ing been employed to take the places of the strikers. The negroes who struck yesterday say that they wera setting q a day for the men and 50 cents day for the women
 Yesterday morning several of the na- gro truck handlers employed at the freight depot of the Louisville and Nashville. quit work there. and the striking negroes at the Coast Line shops said they wer going to try to get work there. claiming the wages were better than they were getting at the Coast Line.
 At his home on Heron Street in West End, W. c. Wall. Chairman of the Ad.. justfnent Committee of the Car Work. CTS Union on this division of the At. lantic Coast Line. spoke of the sltua- tion
 For several years past" said MT. Wall yesterday, the officials of the Coast Line have been trying to hold us down to the piece system. That is all work is to be sealed by just what man does and not by the per diem or hat rate. Sometimes one of our men could easily make good money under the piece system. Most of our work has to be done fin the open air and if there is pouring down rain, it is not reasonable to suppose that a man is going to stand out in 1t and work. yn that case, the man loses that day and the company is the gainer under the piece system.
 'when we were in Wilmington. continued Mir. Wall, "there were repre- sentatives from every division on the Atlantic Coast Line system We asked for an increase Of 2 1-2 cents an hour, but the company presented us a con- tract granting an increase of cents. It stipulated, however, that the if- crease should apply only to men mak- ihg under $2.25 d day. The pay was to be based on the piece system. and if men making $s.25 a day should make anything ovef that they were to be held down to that figure The scale of wages was actually to be reduced Men gettting 25 cents an hour were to be cut down to 20 cents and so on {. In other words an inferior workman was to have his salary increased, while the wages of better men would not be increased.
 II brought the contract to Montsom- cry and meeting of olir local division was held with the result that vote was taken to refuse te accept the con- tract As every otbeg department of the Coast Line has had an increase in salary and the cost of living has In some cases more than doubled. we thought 1t only right that the car workers should have their salary in- creased 1"
