RAIL WAY ENGINEERS
WANT EIGHT HOUR DAY
Locomotive Engineers of
Florida are Included.

New York, March 3O.-The de-
mands Of nearly four hundred thous-
and locomotive engineers, firemcn and
trainmcn were to be presented to the
general managers of the several rail-
road companies involved at their head
quarters in different parts of the
country today. The employees, who be-
long to the so-called big four unions
ask for an eight-hour day with
out reduction in pay and time cnd a
half for overtime. The railroads
have until April 20 to prepare their
reply.
1t is understood that the railroads
already have made ready tentative
answer which amounts to a condition
al refusl that leaves the way open for
further negotiations. The demands
of the men went to the Wheeling G.
Lake Erie Railroad yesterday and the
eight-hour day proposal was refused
The position of the unions is ex-
planned in a statement by the execu-
tive boards, which has in charge the
submission Of the demands today. The
committees statement says:
'In making the demand for the
eight-hour day, the unions feel them
selves justified, believing that trains
can be so managed that the 100 miles
required of a railroad nan per day
can be put inside of eight hours. AS
the train service is now, single crew
engines in the switching service on
which only one crew works in the
twenty-four, are often compelled to
work from ten to sixteen hours a day.
1t is injustice such as this that the
railway unions want ended"

Which Do You Prefer?

1t is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
"Do prefer pure baking powder like
Royal made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely phosphate
or alum compound.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

Mr.. Charlie Phillips, Of Palatka, will
be best man, and the groomsmen will
be Mr.. Lex Grier, of Salisbury, Md,
Noah Tilghman, of Palatka, and Mr..
Willie Peoples, of Nashville, Ga.
Mr.. Emory Gary and Mr.. Arthur

sing Because God Made Thee Mine"
and during the ceremony the musi-
clans will play "Oh Beauteous Night"

Miss Deal will be the honoree at a
round of parties before her marriage
Among those already planned in her
honor are the following: Yester-

tain at a dinner party; Tuesday af-
ternoon Mrs. S. T. Tygart and Mrs.

neous shower; Wednesday Mrs. Ev-

To Encourage Strawberry Culture.

T. f. Waldrup, Agricultural Field
Agent of the G. S. & F. R'y, has been
spending some time out in the west
ern part Of the county, especially at
Springside. Bardin and Harlem sec
tions, awakening an interest among the
people in the question of strawberry
culture. Mr.. Waldrup believes that
these sections contain much land pc
cpliarly, adapted to the cultivation of
'fTaWbcrries, and also that there is
an advantage of climate not enjoyed
by some other sections further along
the line of his road which are now
engaged extensively in growing
strawberries.
He has appointed meeting of far
mers of the communities named to
gather at Bardin, on Wednesday. May
3rd. when plan of action will be
