Large Number Walked out Friday Ey-
ening at 6 O'Clock, Partially Ticing
up Trifiic.
Since Friday evening at O'Clock a
strike has been in progress ON the
Charleston & Western Carolina Ry. on
the part Of the firemen of that road
Freight traffic has been partially tied
up, but passenger trains have been
running as usual. No serious out
freaks have taken place, but severa!
non striking firemen have been drag
ged from the engines near Augusta.
The strikers in these instances have
been arrested and locked up and later
released. Outside of these occurrence
es, no violence has taken place. In
the Laurcns yards the only evidence of
strike is the fcwness of trains.
1t is claimed by the firemen that
eighteen white men and number of
negroes are out and that only two
white firemcn are still on the engines.
They also claim that number of ne
gro firemen are out in sympathy with
them
Several representatives of the fire
men were in Laurens yesterday and
made a statement o. their grievance.
According to them the chief grounds
Of complaint are that the negro fire
men on the road are given the pre-
ferred runs and that there are more
negro tircmen than white. They state
that they have requested General Man
ager Anderson to change the status
OF affairs by giving the white men an
equal showing when firemen are be-
ing selected for the different runs and
that an equal number of white and
negro firemen be employed These
men claim that Mr.. Anderson has not
consented to give them hearing nor
consented to their demands for the
changes. There seems to be other
grievances, but the firemen state that
they are of minor Importance and not
real points Of contention at this time.
