MASONS To ASK
AN 8-HOUR DAY
Should the Atlanta Contractors
Fail to Meet Demand, Strike
Likely Will Be Called.

The Brickayers and Masons unions
Nos. 6. Il and IA today will ask the
International Brotherhood Of Bricklay-
ers. Masons and Plasterers to ratify
their action in adopting an eight-hour
working day. After receiving approval,
notice will be given the contractors
throughout the city that the hours must
be changed within 80 days. Should the
contractors fail to meet this demand, it
is said that strike will be ordered.
At meeting last night at III IL
Whitehall street, there were nearly 300
bricklayers Several of them had failed
TO bring their union cards and were dis
qualified from voting on the change
from a nine hour to an eight-hour
working day. There was some slight
opposition to the change. but when put
to a vote the motion carried by a largo
majority
According to one of the bricklayers
who was opposed to the change, brick
layers now are receiving a wage of so
or So cents an hour. although the scale
is only 40 cents. If the contractors so
choose they can meet the demand of an
eight-hour day and require the brick
layers to work at scale wages, Should
this come about, he said, it would mean
a loss Of 90 cents a day in earnings
the difference between nine hours at so
cents and eight hours at As cents. The
raise over the scale wages. It is said
was a voluntary action upon the part of
the contractors.
If the bricklayers order a strike it
will be the first here in nine years.

1t Pays Better Than Idleness
Within Prison Walls-Attor-
torney- Generals Ruling.

Here are some thoughts and ideas
vol worth the consideration of good
roads advocates in every county In the
State OF Virginia. A Tazcwell County
paper of recent date had the follow
ing:
'Tazewell County road people arc
clated over the ruling OF the Attor-
ney-General OF Virginia TO the effect
that all jail prisoners must BIO put on
the roads, instead OF allowing Thorn
to spend tho time OF their incarcera-
ton in confinement as has heretofore
been the custom.
In the future the jailbirds will be
put on the road under guard. The
new ruling is of farreaching effect,
and has caused much favorable com
ment all over the state since made
known. Upon request, 1t Will be the
duty Of the circuit judges to sentence
inil prisoners to work on the county
highways. Besides the benefit of tho
labor, ii is considered much better for
tho prisoners themselves that they
have the outdoor exercise and open
air enjoyment than 10 he penned UP in
Jail, ana il is really this phase Of the
situation that commcnds itself to tho
public. The new ruling. construed
from a statute of the last Legislature,
will become operative at once"
The Wytheville Enterprise copied
the above in fun. and commented on
the same from a local point of view,
as follows:
1T Will be seen from the above
statement that jailbird prisoners can
he In nj
every county In the State. Last sum
mer number or prisoners from this
county were sent TO tho road ,orcc in
Pulaski County. There is no objection
to tho law breakers being sont TO
Pulaski II they are not going to be
worked here. The point is. Wythc
County has roads sndly IN need OF
of the law to keep good force on
the roads If the officers would bcstir
themselves. How often does a magis-
tratc let Il law breaker off. with n
small fine. and. In many instances. tho
fine is never paid because they argue
that it Is better for tho guilty to cs-
cape punishment than for the county
to be put to the expense OF feeding
such offender? Under tho ruling OF
the Attorney General, there Is no pos
siblc excuse for such n state OF affairs
to continue.
Another thing. the county is spend
Ing from $4,000 TO $4,000 annually
in building permanent roads. We wish
tho amount was more. How much IS
the county spending In the way of
maintenance: In many cases n repair
Of one dollar or less will stop u
wash. which il left alone will in a
short time take ten. fifteen or even
more To repair the damage. There
never was truer SAYING than: A
stitch in time will save nine. This
certainly applies to modern roads.
This is u matter tho county authorities
should give careful thought and at
tention."
All OF the suggestions above and
all of the sound sense in them apply
TO other counties as we'll as to Taze-
