Florence, September s1s.-(SpeciaL) Operations at the dam have been ex- tended during the past week by the opening of camp on the south side or the Tennessee river. A part of the nitrate plants buildings are utilized to house this growing force, which already numbers 50 men. The work on this side, which will eventually equal the other in magnitude, Is under the direc- tion of Col. J. S. Butler of Nashville. re- gently discharged from the service. Col. s. C. Godfrey, who recently report ed for duty at the dam. is in charge of the administration and supplies di- vision, and with MT. Joseph Wright at the head of the first construction di- vision, and Maj. D. A. Watt in charge of in the main the organization at the dam.
 General Brown. the district engineer, has announced in no uncertain terms the policy in regard to wages to be paid at the dam. Information has been collected as to the rates paid to the various crafts at all cities in this sec ton of the country within reasonable radius Wherever the rates paid here are found to be lower than the average wage thus determined, corrections are at once made, and the rates raised.
 In several special cases. wages have been recently raised for the above req son. In fairness to the the, community and to labor conditions elsewhere. the -ates paid will not be higher than the above "A just wage for full day s work" is the standard which is being sought in all cases.
 The total force now employed at the dam is over 21O0 men. This is in- creasing daily. and will continue to do so. in view of the growing scale of ac- tivities. The unwatering of the ceA ferdam, the beginning of construction on the southside, the extension of the railroad line to the Florence bridge these have all resulted in an increased need for laborers and skilled workmen of all classes.
 The camp on the south side of the river will be under the supervision of Joseph D. Self the general camp fore man at the Wilson dam. formerly em- ployed in the same capacity by J. G White Engineering corporation at Mi trate Plant No. 2.
 Arrangements have been made for the school term to open about October 1 The county authorities of Lauderdale county will supply three teachers fo' the white school and one for the col ored. With the assistance of the au thorities at the dam, the term has beer extended to nine months for both schools the curriculum being the same as standard graded sch ools of this sec tion up to the ninth grade.
