VIRGINIA LAWYERS TO
HEAR CANDIDATE TAFT
SOUTHERN NOT TO
REDUCE WAGES
Present Scale Remains in Effect
for Three Months or
Longer.

Local officials of the Southern Rail-
way heard yesterday that the company
had decided to maintain the present
wage scale instead Of ordering ire
ductlon on July list Az heretofore ex-
pectet.
Conferences have been held In the
last few days in which Southern Of
ficials, representatives of the employees
and Chairman Knapp and Commissions
err OF Labor NELL again took part. The
understanding Is that the old scale
shall continue for three months more
Information received In Washington
is to the effect that business In the
South Is reviving and that the business
land prospects of the Southern Railway
are improving. Officials here in close
touch with railroad affairs find reason
to believe that a reduction OF wages
will not be thought necessary by the
company at the end of the new pro-
stationary period.
When the reduction was proposed last
March a strike was threatened, and ar.
ter many conferences between officials
of the company and representatives oil
the railway employees. in which Com.
missioner OF Labor NELL and Chairman
Knapp. OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission, acted as Intermediates
action was deferred until July list, and
the old rate of wages was allowed tc
stant.
1t was a matter OF agreement ther
that the subject would be reconsideret
at the end OF the period. and II bust.

a new wage scale would be taken ur

Work for the relief and care of the

impetus by two meetings held last
night at the Jefferson Hotel, both
the Juvenile Protective Association
of Virginia and the Civic Improvement
League, composed mainly of the same
people, selecting officers and outln-

of the recent Conference of Charities

object the care of the delinquent and
abandoned child A charter will be
secured within the next few days. and
steps Will be taken to have repre-
attendance on the Police Court to look
after children who may be assigned to
their care. 1t IS probable that the
organization, after studying the con-
.ditions presented and gaining ex-
perience, may lead movement for
the separation OF children's cases from
the general Police Court. and have the
justice give them a hearing without
the legal machinery and the mortifi-
cation OF an open Police Court.
