 took place without any explanation but that they understood the men refused Ito work until decision was rendered on their demand for $10.56 day for clippers and caulkers and s24 day TOT riveting gangs of two men and a boy, all of whom are employed OH what is known as allowance work on intricate parts of the ships kulla
 Officials of the shipping board think the strike is an effort to force a day wage scale on the basis of pay for spe- cial work. The present day scale for clippers and caulkers Is s560 for eight hours, with many men making greater sums or getting time and half for overtime and double time for holidays and Sunday Riveters make even more working on piece rates.
 J. A. Franklin, president of the Boil ermakers' union, to which most of the strikers belong, was notified of the trouble, and confidence was expresses by officials that the national officers of the union would settle the difficulty. All of the metal trades unions have promised complete cooperation in the shipbuilding programme and have re- fused to hinder production by special demands such as were made recently
  trouble is believed here to be entirely local, with no likelihood of affecting other yards.
 The workers approved the new wage scale recently instituted. The Balti- more company suggested to the board tcoay that shipyard strikers be pre- vented from working on government contracts in other yards for period of from 30 to 60 days.
 The government expects us to build ships" the company declared. Sons drastic action must be taken to pre- vent occurrences of this kind. The men are receiving exceedingly high pay and all question of piece work, hours and pay are absolutely in the hands of the government"

TROY

Troy, March 19.-(Special)- )-Since Janu-
 ary l, 1918, the section of Pike county
 around Troy has shipped away 103 cars
 of hogs and 51 cars of cattle. This
 shows the great work that is being done
 here raising cattle and hogs. The farm
 CTS of a few years ago would have
 doubted that so many could be raised
 here. These figures do not include ship
 ments from Brundige or other towns on
 either of the two railroads. The Coast
 Line railroad has handled S1 cars of
 hogs and 4S cars of cattle. while the
 Central of Georgia has handled five cars
 of cattle and g cars of hogs. Estimat-
 ing the value of the cattle cars at $25O0 and the hog cars at 5000, this would mean that hogs and cattle have brought the farmers in the first two and one- half months of the year something like
 $333, 900.
