WILL TRY TO SETTLE THE
MATTER THIS AFTERNOON
The Strike Situation is Not En-
couraging, and it Seems That
Both Sides Are Trying tC
Win Their Points.

A strike originated in the plant OF
the Brunswick Marine Construction
corporation yesterday which spread,
speedily to that of the Parker-Henscl
Engineering company, an auxiliary
concern of the construction people, as
a result of which 500 men walked
out.
The strike developed with remark
able rapidity, and, as matter OF
fact, caught the management of both
concerns absolutely by surprise; in
deed, it was not dreamed that the
employees contemplated a step so Sc
rious.
1t seems that on Monday the en-
ployes of the construction company
petitioned the management to grant
them an additional half hour for din
ner; this request was promptly grant
ed, and, in fact, Manager Skinner
stated that he was on the point of
making the suggestion himself when
it came from the men. Later. ii
seems that somo dissatisfaction arose
among the employees about the time
of stopping work in the afternoon,
However, this was on Monday after
a noon, and as the next day, Tuesday
was a holiday, granted for the pur-
pose of registering. nothing was
thought of the matter until yester-
day, when the men reported for work
at the usual hour, but submitted a
signed request on the management
for not only concessions previously
made, but asked that the days work
be fixed at nine hours with pay as
for ten 1t was stated to the en-
ployes that it would be necessary for
a conference with the board OF direc
tors before such concessions could be
granted, and forthwith the men, with
the exception of some ten or fifteen,
filed out of the extensive plants with
the old-time war whoop so charac-
teristic of strikes.
In the meantime it seems that the
employees Of the ParkersHensel Ansl-
neering company, which is merely a
I department of the Marine Construc-
ton corporation, were in full sympa-
thv with the strikers, for they also
failed to 60 to work yesterday morn
ing, and Immediately joined with the
strikers from the construction plant,
1t seems that they had also sent dur
ing the early morning hours petit
tion to the construction people ask
ing in effect for the same concessions
previously asked for by the employees
of the construction company.
During all day yesterday and last
night various conferences were held
between the employees, the manage
ment and several prominent Bruins
wickians who were eager fto recon
cile the differences. Mayor j. Hun
ter Hopkins was active in his efforts
to have the matter adjusted as speed
lily as possible, and during the day
presented various and sundry com
promise propositions to both sides,
aiding in every possible way to bring
N the two sides together.
The real trouble is said to be the

VISITING LAWYER
TALKS BRUNSWICK
HON. EMMETT HOUSER, OF FORT
VALLEY, BOOSTS THIS CITY
AND HER PROGRESS.

Emmett IIouser, former newspaper
man and now leading lawyer of Fort
Valley, has been spending few days
in Brunswick, the guest of DR.. II. NJ.
Branham, a linsman He left for his
home last night. but before doing so
paid the News a welcome call Mr.
Houser is an old friend of Brunswick
and delights in the growth and pros
perity of the city When asked for
an interview touching his impressions
, of the present day Bruins wick, Mr..
Houser said:
For nearly two decades | have
| been coming to Brunswick and upon
each visit looked for substantial evi-
dence that this city was making such
strides in material growth and pros
perity as her most enviable location
and promising environments entitled
her to, but in each instance / was
more or less disappointed
"However, upon my arrival Monday
| the changed conditions; there was a
hustle and stir along the business
thoroughfares that bespoke an actir
/ ity found only in thoroughly progres
sive cities; not only was progress yis-
ible to the eye, but the spirit of pos
perity is in the air.
u g,ln f1,A
nothing short of a revelation The
| hundreds OF skilled mechanics and
greater number of laborers; the click
/ of hammers and song of the saws
! were unlnistakable signs of material
| progress. A ride out to the box fac,
tory and cypress mills with DR.. Bran
| ham disclosed great activity in the
| porduction of finished products from
| native timber in these industrial en-
drive through the residential section
of Brunswick showed improvements
| begotten only in a season of prosper
| ity. Already noted for her many beau
tiful homes, this distinction has been
| greatly emphasized by additional new
ones and improvements of old ones.
Il have always been very fond of
| Brunswick and her splendid citi-
zenry," said Mr. Houser, 'and
throughout the years of my acquaint-
ance have wondered, in view of her
magnificent port, why she did not
grow as her superior location seem
i ingly would entitle her to, and such
has been my interest in this city that
! I have longed for the dawning of a
day that pressaged a larger and great
| er Brunswick 1t seems now that this
hope, long deferred, is coming into a
| glorious reality for it appears that
| progress and prosperity have chosen
| this city as a permanent abiding
place. and while the lurid clouds of
| war have darkened our national hori-
zon in my opinion, the sun of Bruins
wick's future never shone more aus
piciously and now after many years
of travail this beautiful city by the
sea is coming into her own"

the fact that eighteen iointers or cab
met makers were relieved of work
Monday morning. and ii so/happened
that these employees were among
those who petitioned the management
on Monday afternoon for concessions
in the way of hours, and it is claim-l
ed by the strikers that in retaliation
for their having made this petition
they were singled out and fired for
that specific reason. In fact. one of
the men who was discharged stated
to News representative yesterday
that this was the cause, and that as
a matter of fact the entire strike
was due to this cause and that the
decrease in hours and the increase
in pay came about as Il secondary
consideration. Manager Skinner, AS
slstant superintendent Snow and 9th
er officials Of the company stoutly
deny this statement and claim that
the jointers were not DISCHARGED be-
cause Of any steps endeavoring to
secure better hours, but because
there was simply no work of that
Kind at that particular time. and for
that reason they We're temporarily
laid off.
An interesting session was held
yesterday afternoon at the city hall
by the strikers and several talks
were made by citizens in an effort
to bring the contending forces toge-
ther, but there is a deep-seated de-
sire on the part of the strikers not
to yield either in the question of nine
hours work and pay for ten. or in
the one of demanding that the dis
charged joiners be put to work again.
Last Nights Meeting.
A meeting of the strikers and 9th
ers interested was called for at the
city hall at O'Clock last night, and
at that hour many persons were pres
ent, but for some unforeseen reason
the strikers adjourned to negro
hall in DiXville and announced to the
waiting multitude at the city hall
that they would be in session there
and would be glad to take up any
subject at that place This, of course,
caused some degree of CONSERVATION. =,
but after conference between Mayor
Hopkins and others of the citizens
committee, it was decided to send
committee out to the Dixville meet
ing to ascertain the situation This
committee went out and found that
the entire aggregation of strikers
were assembled at the corner of
Monk street and Cochran avenue
awaiting the arrival of an organizer
due from Waycross at $40. In the
meantime, Manager Skinner and, his
corps of officials waited at the city
hall and committee sent from the
strikers meeting and advised Mr.
! Skinner that it was ready to receive
| him and treat with any new PROPOSE

Lemons Written and
 Beautify the Skin! Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two. fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautif1er at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams, Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener. smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Make Up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon, lotion and massage it daily into the. face, 4heck, arms and hands. It should nat urally help to whiten, soften. freshen. and bring out the. hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough, red hands.
 Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons.
