PROPOSE TO BETTER CONDI
TONS BY FORCING OILERS
TO WORK

A special deputy Sherln, whose
business it will be to look after vag-
rants exclusively, is the step now be-
ing proposed in Jacksonville as a
remedy for a situation which indus
trial men declare is becoming intol-
cradle and costly.
Jno. McGiffin. a prominent shipp-
ing man, who heads, the special COM
mittee on vagrancy, from the board
of trade, advanced the proposition at
meeting of the body Friday after
noon. Sheriff r. F. Bowden and W
NJ. Bostwick, Jr., chairman of the city
bond trustees met with the commit
tee
Three vessels were sent away from
Jacksonville this week only partially
loaded because labor to complete
their cargoes could not be secured
here. Fernandina, Brunswick and
Savannah will reap the benefits from
this commerce that should have re-
NAMED in Jacksonville. The cargo
that was gotten aboard them was not
trimmed, but just slammed in any
way.
Harry White, agent for the Clyde
line at Jacksonville, has made the
statement that he carries 400 men on
his payroll to secure the labor of $50
Yet he needs the entire AGO and more,
too, six days week the year round.
Chairman McGiffin made the state
ment that his firm carries more than
260 men on the payroll and has act
ually had as many as 108 men on
days when the negroes were in
particularly Industrious humor The
average Of laborers secured by his
firm will not go above 80. 1t is Mr.
McGiffin's firm which was compelled
TO send three vessels away from port.
Conditions that are equally as bad
prevail at other docks and with other
firms that depend upon labor for load
ing vessels. 1t is stated that the
average time made by the dock work
ers will not reach three days a week.
This does not mean that there are
not many steady negroes here who
work six days a week and full time,
but the number of shiftless ones, who
work just enough to provide spend
ing money or a little something to
eat. so far outnumber the reliable
ones the average goes below so per
cent.
Chairman McGiffin, discussing his
plan, said that the proposition of
sending negro Migrants to Raspberry
did not meet the situation at all. He
thinks that they should be handled
in the county courts. When they are
sent up they will be put to work on
the roads or at some industry under
lease, and will in a measure serve
to relieve the labor shortage. He
thinks that the county should employ
a special deputy to work under
Sheriff Bowden and report to his of
fee, who will do nothing but see that
idle men go to work, and that they
actually serve six days a week and
not just enough to evade the PEN
atty of the law. Ar.
