The Publishers of Webster's international

lar Unabridged thoroughly re-editedi in every

the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements Of another genera

We are Of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that has been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as 10 now stands, has been thoroughly re
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and seyerer requirements of a
generation which demands more Of popular
pathological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
II is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of

WILL REDUCE WAGES.
Southern Proposes Cut of Six and
One-Half Per 'Cent.-Forty Thous-
and Employees Affected.

"a dispatch from Washington to
the News and Courier says:
After several conferences between
Southern Railway officials and rep
resentatives of the 10000 machinists
and kindred workmen OF that system
calico here to agre" 10 a general re-
duetlon Ill wages, which the South.
ern finds it necessary to mas;a. it IS
said by the machinists that The two
interested classes are far from agree
ment.
II: Southern has sohm!r;cl 4 Do
position which was not satisfactory
to- the machinlsts. This morning the
delegation wos in conference and at =
o'"'oek today began ior,: confer
ence with General Manager Ackert,
of the road, before the termination
Of which the machnsts will submit
a counter proposition.
The Southern's proposition is,
briefly, that a reduction of about
six and Il half per cent in wages must
be made and the men arc not given
assurance that the present scale Of
hours, forty hours work per week,
will moi also be reduced. InaSmuch as
the mel work by The hour. and moi by
the day. they do not regard favor
ably such proposition, as the hour
scale WAS reduced from fifty-four to
forty hours per week about four
months ago.
Until their counter proposition is
submitted 10 the Southern manage
mcni the machiniStS decline to reveal
its mature. other than to state that it
Is radically different from the one
the road proposes. and further that
the latter cannot be accepted.
AS 1t seems the desire Of both sides
to arrive 1T Il pcaccabe agreement
and avert conflict. other conferences
may have to be arranged.
Archie Gillivray, president Of Dis
trict No. !. Of the International AS
Sociati"n Of MachnstS. having iur-
lSilctlon over the various Southern
shops. said today: "About four
months ago the road reduced the hour
scale from 81 to 40 hours. Now il is
proposed to reduce the wage scale
without even the assurance that the
4G-hom scale will be protected. The
wage reduction proposed by tine COM
paAy means that the machinists, road
and Foundry men, and similar trades,
will receive the wages in vogue prior
to the agreement OF October. 1906.
representing an average reduction Of
8 - per cent in the hourly scale.
About 10000 men or 100000 persons
Will be affected. We do not feel
that we can stand Il further rcduc-
tion. at least nnt of this indefinite
character. We have accordingly
been in conference and will have a

All says:
This proposition is based upon the
assertion that the labor men are Ill
treated, that the farmers are presum.
ably so and that it would be for their
mutual interests to combine OF course
such combination would be effective
principally in the Legislature. What is
the practical proposition, therefore is
log roll of labor and agricultural in.
terests, with the idea that the two ele-
islation desired by each wing. Very
likely, II such combination were to
be formed, II would come very near
dominating the legislature and the
politicians outside would have to make
terms with them.
But. as competent observer Of the
situation says. the agricultural element
Is habitually conservative. The labor
element Is radical. 1t is question
whether any such combination would
be entered into by the farmers. In the
first place, the farmers are not trained
to combination They are born indie
pendent and they live Independently.
so much so that combination among
themselves is difficult. They general
ly propose In the legislature to act in
dividually about AZ they think right
and they are not accustomed to com
bination unless they believe It is right
On the face of 1t there is no more rea-
son why the farmers should combine
with the labor men than with the man
ufacturers except upon the assumption
that they are equally downtrodden and
oppressed classes. and that is not I'm
