Twenty-Five cents instead of 22 cents an hour is one of the demands.

 It is pointed out that not until the lynching of negro at Bncolnton shortly after the strike began had there previous ly been deliberate lynching in Georgia for nearly two years. Negroes have met violent deaths during that time. but they were killed while resisting capture.

SAME OLD CITY
GAME
WATER COMMISSIONERS AD-
VERSE REPORT NO BAR TO
PLAYING FOX AND GOOSE IN
MANITO PARK.

In spite of the adverse report
filed by Commissioner John Wetzel
on the proposition to purchase the
water system installed by the Spo-
kane-Washington Improvement Co.,
there seems to be an inclination on
the part of some of the councilmen
to give the matter favorable con-
sideration, as was evidenced at the
meeting of the finance committee
of the council yesterday afternoon.
In his report. Mr.. Wetzel brought
out the fact that a number Of the
mains were smaller than any used
by the city, and also that a number
Of them were frozen, and no at
tempt has been made to thaw them
out. The $20,60O asked for the sys-
tenn is also stated to be too high a
figure, and Mr.. Wetzel stated it
was his belief that for this amount
the city could install complete
new system, using calamine mains
in place of the wooden mains now
used by the company. In addition
to this number of the mains are
laid on the wrong side of the street
at various depths and no system
seems to have been followed in lay
ing the mains.
Whether the finance committee
finally decided to purchase the sys-
tenn or not, the battle will not be
won or lost in the committee, as
the real fight will come on the
floor of the council. The company
is anxious to sell out, but there is
feeling that the price is far too
high for the value of the service.
The finance committee referred the
matter back to the board of public
works and the corporation counsel
for further advice.

Deserts, such as these two

that Sal and Cynthia established
the ferry at the behest of the chief

it was some time during the years

EMPLOYMENT !
WAR bREWS

The sign boards from the Carr,
Adams & Switzer and Washington
employment bureaus were smashed
and cast into the river off Stevens
street bridge last night.
The work is evidently that of
stragglers from the gang of rioters
that demolished the furniture in
the Red Cross employment agency
between Front and Main avenues
on Stevens street week ago.
The boards torn from the front
of the Carr employment bureau,
corner Front avenue and Stevens
street, was secured to the brick
wall with iron clamps with long
shanks driven several inches into
the masonry. That several men
figured in the disorder is evident
from the fact that nearly all the
irons that were not removed and
thrown away with the boards were
bent out of shape and left in the
wall
AS a result of the trouble, the
employment men have armed them
selves and a closer surveillance is
to be kept by the police in the
employment Office districts.
Possibly these conditions will be
permitted until somebody is badly
hurt or killed Complaints of en-
ployment agency swindles have
come in constantly for the past
two years without awaking any
thing in the nature of systematic
relief from the authorities, and
