COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 24.-The
street car strike is not yet settled
though last night representatives Of the
striking carmen and Of the car COM
pany met with a committee from the
Chamber of Commerce. acting q g a board
of mediation, in an effort to settle the

Employees be recognized. This the car
company determinedly refuses to do.
President F. S. Terry, Of the Cham
Der of Commerce. stated at the media

already granted the carmen everything
that gentlemen could ask, and he de-
manded that the strikers take some
steps toward ending the strike How
ever, nothing is done yet The car COM
pany's franchise requires that cars
must not be idle for more than three
months. The company declares it will
keep its cars in the barns that long, il

PRESENT WATER TAX
IS ROUNDLY SCORED
BY MANUFACTURERS

That Atlanta water rates are excess
sive and tend to cripple industry is the
contention Of oscar Elsas. vice presi-
dent Of a local cotton mill, and James
c. Gentry, representing an ice manu-
factory. who appeared yesterday after
noon before the water commission
These men claim that if the city water
works were operated by a private con-
Germ, a reduction of al least a. per cent
would be effected, and this would great
ly encourage the installation of new in
dustries. A comparative statement OF
cost and eXpenditures-one based on
the figures taken from the annual re-
port Of Superintendent Smith and the
other taken from figures compiled by
the manufacturers-show q difference
of $147S36. One item that the manu-
facturers find objection to is an al
legged tax cost of S77.107. whereas the
city pays no taxes.
The manufacturers and certain other
consumers are conteuding for a return
to the minimum seven-cent water rate,
and they claim that the cost should be
about $40 a million gallons The pres
ent rate is said to be an advance of
fifteen per cent over 1910.
The city on the other hand, claims
hat it costs 1884 to deliver a million
gallons but commission is ia be ap-
pointed to investigate.

ATLANTA 8 MEAT
PRICE WILL SOAR
Stewards Believe PauCity in
Cattle Supply Will Cause 20
Per Cent Increase.

Meat prices are going I'D another 20
per cent. according to predictions made
today by Atlanta men who ought to
know. These men claim that the scare
ity OF cattle Is sure to send the price
up. and this is additional to 20 per
cent raise in 1912 over 1911.
The tariff on meats, and particularly
meats from the Argentine Republic, is
responsible for this condition, ii is de-
clared.
The International Stewards associa-
ton had a convention recently in Mag
ara Falls. attended by various Atlanta
hotel men. and it appointed a legisla-
tive committee to inquire into the sit
alton. This committee WILL seek to
enlist the aid of the public in having
duty free" meat bill passed by con-
gress The stewards claim that by the
massage Of such a bill and the estab-
lishment Of United States inspection
service in the foreign slaughter houses,
the price would be cut in half, and the
COMMITTEES claims to have discovered
false shortage OF meat in this coun-
try which seems to be responsible for
the present high prices"
