STRIKES AND LOCKOUTS
UNUSUALLY HEAVY

WASHINGTON, Nay 30.-Strikes
and lockouts throughout the United
States recently have been unusually
numerous, according to a statement
today by the department of labor.
The last six months produced ,009
and in April alone there were 268.
Most of the April strikes, says the
statement, were due to the demand for
labor to fill war orders. Decreases in
immigration have brought about a
labor shortage. This demand for la
bor," it adds, has been accompanied
by demands of working people for in
creased wages. the ra,cd and increas-
ed granting of which during the last
six months has resulted in new de-
mands of laboring men that many en-
ployers deem excessive and refuse to
grant"
The largest number of the strikes
have been in the metal trades More
than half were in New York. Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Me-
tai trades strikes in April numbered
65; textile workers 81; seamen IS and

IN NOvEM
ADJUSTMENT OF OFFICE OF
COUNTY TREASURER TO BE
VOTED UPON IN GLYNN AT
STATE ELECTION.

Whether or not the office of county
treasurer of Glynn county is to be
abolished on January first next, de-
pends upon whether or not a majority
of the people of the county desire the
adjustment of this oiiice, and they
will be given an opportunity to ex-
press themselves at the polls on this
subject on November Z, at which time
the general state election will be held
Elsewhere in the News this morning
will be found notice OF local legisla-
tiOn, giving notice of the intention of
the county to have introduced at the
approaching session of the legislature
bill abolishing the office of country
treasurer, which bill provides. howev-
er. that the bill. if passed by the leg
islature, shall not become effective
until the same has been ratified by
majority of the voters of the county.
1t will be remembered thta the
the superior court recommended that
the Office of county treasurer be abol-
ished. and this bill is result of that
recommendation Representative Dart
has stated openly that he would not
introduce and have kassed any such
bill unless it was voted upon by the
people, a majority of the voters favor
ing it. As the bill provides that the
new law shall not become effective
unless majority OF the voters favor
ii at the general state election, it is
expected that the representative will
have it passed
Just what the voters will do of
course is problematlcal, 1t is not
known whether or not IT Is the inten-
tion of the county commissioners and
any others to make campaign in ia
vor of the bill. The idea Is simply
to submit the matter to the voters
and let them decide the matter for
themselves.

most |O|OT|C
GERMAN RAILROAD MANAGER
GIVES VIEWS ON THE GREAT
STRUGGLE.

HAMBURG, May 80 (Via London,
May 30).-Albert Ballin, war man
ager of the German railroads and
director of. the Hamburg American
Steamship company, characterized the
war as the greatest, bloodiest and
most idiotic war of all times" in an ad-
dress delivered toCay at a general
meeting of the Woermann Shipping
company.
Her Ballin declared that the Ger
man shipping interests after the sue
cessful termination of this war, must
be prepared to conduct a new war on
the economic banner ground against
the competitors extraordinarily
strengthened by war profits Of fan
tastic height" He expressed conf
dence, however. that the old Han
seattle spirit would be able to accept
successfully the guage of battle in
this struggle
First, however, he declared, that the
conception of freedom must be so
established that Germans in regard to
the world trade, neeG no longer be
forced to live at tenants of England"
In conclusion Herr Ballin thanked the
Reichstag for the resolutions passed
by it recognizing the importance of
a speedy rebuilding of Germany's mer-
camille marine and requesting the as.
sistance of the government to that
end
The meeting, which sanctioned the
reorganization Of the Woermann line.

works at Bremen. Thyssen and
SHINES are credited with the belief
that Germany's future lies upon the
water and that the expected post.

to the men who are FIRST on the
ground. g-sa

SOME CHANGES
ARE DESIRED IN
THE EC|TYCOURT
AMENDMENT TO BILL PRO-
VIDES FOR ONLY SIX MEN
AS A PANEL IN THE LOCAL
TRIBUNAL.

Radical changes are to be made in
the city court of Brunswick, if a bill.
which is to be introduced at the ses-
sion of the legislature which con-
venes next month is passed, and there
is hardly any doubt but what it will
be. The bill will be introduced and
passed in order that the amendments
to the law establishing the city court
will become effective on January first
next
The most important change to be
made by the amendment will be the
reduction in the number of jurors to
be drawn for this tribunal At pres
ent, as is well known, twenty-four and
very often, a large number of jurors
are drawn for city court duty. The
new bill provides that only twelve
men shall serve at each session of the
court.
Instead of full panel of twelve
men serving on case as at present,
only six VIII be- called upon to decide
cases tried in this court. In criminal
cases under'th new law, the defend
ant shall be allowed four strikes and
the state two, and in the trial of civil
cases both the defendant and the
plaintiff will be allowed three strikes
each. In other words a panel of
twelve, instead of twenty-four men
will be called and. instead of twelve
strikes by the two sides, as is the law
at present, there will be only six, re-
naming six men to serve on the
case.
The notice of the intention to in
troduce such a bill is published else
where in the News this morning, and
it is understood that 1t has the sane
tion of the county commissioners. 1t
has been pointed out that the coun-
ty will save large sum of money at
each session of the city court by the
new bill.

BOND ISSUE IN
CAMDEN SEEMS
SURE TO WIN
VOTERS OF THAT COUNTY
WANT A BRIDGE BUILT
ACROSS SATlLLA AND ARE
READY TO HELP.

That the bond issue to be voted
on in Camden county for the pur-
pose OF constructing a bridge over the
Satllla river will carry overwhelming
ly, is the belief of J. c.. Buie, county
commissioner and prominent citizen
who was in Brunswick yesterday on
business. Mr.. Buie is one of the best
known and most influential men of
Camden county anC his words will
bear weight He is an extensive
land owner and timber dealer. Should
the bond issue be voted, as he says it
VIII, he will bear much of the tax
that will be put on property to meet
the bends as they come due.
Mr.. Buie says the voters of Cam
den county want this bridge built and
are ready to pay the cost which is
expected to be between twenty and
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
bridge is to be built across the Satil-
la river at Woodbine and will be the
last connecting link in the eastern
route of the Dixie highway. 1t will
make the route through Brunswick
one of the most attractive and many
tourists will be diverted this way.
Already the roads of this county
and adjoining counties have been plac-
ed in good condition and improve
ments are still being made. Mr.. Buie
says all of the county commissioners
in Camden county are strongly in IA
vor of the bond issue and are working
to overcome what little opposition ex-
lists. The vote will be taken some time
next month during the primary.
