Proposition Of Southern to Reduce
Wages Not Received with Favor.
HEN SUBMIT TWO PROPOSITIONS
Conference Which Concerns 10000
Men Fails to Reach an Agreement
One of the Representatives of Ma
chinists Makes Statement.
lBy Associated press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. IL
After several conferences between
Southern Railway officials and repre-
sentatiyes OF the 10000 machinlsts
and skilled workmen of that system
called here to agree to general re-
duction in wages. which the Southern
finds it necessary to wake. it is said
by the machinists today mat the two
interested parties are far from agree
ment
The Southern has submitted n prop
sition which is not satisfactory to the
machinists. This morning the dele
cation was in conference, and q joint
conference with General Manager
Ackcrt, of the road. was held this at
etrnoon at which the machnisis sub
mitted counter proposition.
The nature of the Southern's propo-
stion was made known today. 1t is
briefly that reduction OF about 6lG
per cent. in wages must he made. and
the men are not given assurance tHst
the present scale Of hours. forty rer
week. will not also be reduced. The
men work by the hour. and not by the
day. and they don't regard fayorably
such proposition. inasmuch as the
hour scale was reduced from 81 to 40
hours per week about four months
ago
Their counter proposition, submit
ted to the Southern management. is
said TO IL radically different from the
one tho road proposes. Its details
have not been given out.
Archie Calvary. OF birmingham,
president of district No. 4 of the In
ternational Association OF Machinists,
having jurisdiction over the various
Southern shops, said today:
About -four months ago the road
reduced the hour scale from fifty foui
to forty hours. Now it is proposed to
reduce the wage scale without even
the assurance that the forty hour
scale will be protected. The wage
reduction proposed by the company
means the machinists. road and foun-
dry men and similar trades will re-
receive tho wages in vogue prior to
tho agreement OF October. 1906. rep
rcsenting an average reduction of 6k
per cent. in The hourly scale. About
forty thousand men, or two hundred
thousand people. will be affected.
We do not feel that VIC can stand
further reduction, at least not OF
this indefnatc character. we have
accordingly been in conference be-
tween ourselves NIL morning. ana will
l,avc a proposition Of our own 70 sub
nit this afternoon"

ONE OF the deplorable incidents In the
present campaign was the suicide, In
Newark, OF Police Justice David T.
Howell, who took his life on Saturday
morning. The deed seems to have been
the result of brooding over the attacks
made upon his personal character by a
political speaker who, In his zeal to
further his cause, did not hesitate to go
to the mudhole and sling slime upon the
unfortunate man whose brain was not
sufficiently strong to Withstand the
inuendoes. The man who gave utterance
TO the offensive words is reported to have
said when he heard of the death OF Mr..
Howell: at Is a most dreadful tragedy,
which no man can deplore more than l
do" And no man ought to deplore 1t
more than he. The days of mudslinging
are past. Legitimate criticism OF public
officer because he has not attended to his
duties through incompetency or other
wise, is proper. but to dig up personal
record which has perhaps been atoned for
is despicable and contemplate. Perhaps
the man who flung the stone was without
sin. but even that would hardly excuse
him for exposing the frailties OF brother
man. The fellow who made the speech
which is supposed to be responsible for
the sad result has reason to not only de-
plore the act, but he will have something
to think about the rest of his life.
