Have Heard Nothing from Com
mittee of Federation of La
Dor at Washington
WILL ACT AS SOON AS
NOTIFICATION is RECEIVED
Members of the Unions are of
the Opinion that Satisfactory
Agreement will be Reached
by Railroad Administration
and the Committee

Up to last midnight local railroad
shopmen had taken no action IeIa-
tive to voting on the wage settle
ment submitted to the union leaders
of that craft by President Wilson.
Members of the local union stated
that they had received no instruc-
tions as to how and when to pro-
ceed from the committee of the Fed
Grafton of Labor now in Washing
ten but were expecting a telegraph
ic message at any time. No action
therefore, will be taken until def
mite instructions are received from
headquarters,
sAll that we know concerning
the action Of shopmen throughout
the country is what we have gotten
from newspaper reports said a
we'll known shopman last night, "and
of course, as we have no authority to
take any steps in the matter we will
not do so until we receive such au-
thority."
Members of the union, however
are of the opinion that satisfactory
agreement will be reached by the
railroad administration and the CON-
mittee representing the shopmen.
One of the reasons given by THE
shopmen, who have voted on! the
proposition for the refusal to accept
President Wilson's proposed wage
increase of four cents an hour is that
all the brotherhoods have been grant
ed satisfactory increases in pay re-
Gently but the shopmen.
The proposal of the president was
that the shopmen would receive an
increase in pay on the basis OF ten
hours pay for eight hours work to be
retroactive to May l 1t would be a:
increase frcm 6S to 72 cents an hour
whereas an increase of II cents or
70 cents an hour is being demanded
by the shopmen and that it shall be
retroactive to Jan. 1. Under the
presidents proposal the helpers will
receive 40 cents an hour instead OF
the present wage of As cents.

Bought Luxuries Lavishly;

Latimer's expectations were soaring

With all the nOnchalauce of re-
tired capitalist, Sutton, after eX-
hausting his list-ordered the pur-
chases sent to given number on
Union street and sauntered forth on

to sum that would make a jeweler

Sam Sutton's vOraciOus appetite
for the 'luxuries" of life was the
means of getting the young maa into
deep and abiding trouble yesterday
afternoon.
Sutton, who claims Waycross as
his home, conceived the ingenious
idea of executing a little plan that
would have stamped him as an adept
at the art of pilfering-if he had
succeeded in carrying it into eNecu-
ton.
But Sutton failed-and his fail
ure is the direct cause of his pres
ent predicament.

Yesterday with all the assurance CT
a Waycross man of affairs. Sutton
informed Manager Latimer that he
wanted an order filled Immediately
to be sent to a given number on
Union street-an exclusive section,

nothing but the best that his market

,DIcTED AS RESULT OF CHEAP
Err FREIGHT RATES

Atlanta, Aug, 27-An immense de
xelopment of the ports of Savannah
and Brunswick as a direct result OF
the new freight rates from western
points to those cities is freely pre-
dicted by traffic experts.
The new Savannah and Brunswick
rates were established by the L. S.
railroad administration at the in
stance of United States Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who has been
hard at work on the proposition for
several months. They will be put in
to effect. it is expected. as soon as
the necessary readjustments can be
worked out and tariffs published.
AS an example of the big reduc-
tion in through rates from the west
to Savannah and Brunswick, the fol
lowing comparisons are cited be-
tween the present, existing rates
from Chicago to New York and from
Chicago to Savannah.
Chicago to New York ..... 81 y IL
Chicago to Savannah 81 S3
From Detroit the rates to the two
cities compare as follows:
Detroit to New York ....... sc. 50
Detroit to Savannah ......$1. 81 L.
The rates given here are the rates
on first-class traffic, and the rates
on other classes are typical of the
first class rates. The new rate from
Chicago to Savannah will be rracti-
cally 40 per cent cheaper on first
class than it is today, While the new
rate from Detroit to Savannah will

A Juncau teH,,,gram arriving today explains the reiunt appointment of Mr John A. s' ilson as temporary Road Commissic, Sar of the district by stating that although the telegraphic returns so far reaching tho capitol show that Barney Gibney was twelve votes ahead of NJ; Wilson in the con- test for the Roac Commissionership no certificate of c, ection will be issued until all returns o1l the division are re- ceived by the Canyassing Board. The message also gives the following com mittee lineup of the various senators

 According to the message, the First Division is not represented on the inn portant Ways and Means Committee of the House-a development which has given rise to much discussion and speculation in the lower chamber.
 The message fails to state this req son for this somewhat peculiar even tuality.
 Senator John Roman, of the Third Division, whose absence from the opening session was remarked in re- cent telegrams, did not reach the capitol until Saturday.

LIBERTY LOAN MEETINGS
TO Be HELD in COUNTY
Splendid Musical Program Arranged
For Various Meetings., Including
Noted VioHnist-Mr. MOntignani,
Humorous Speaker, to Make .Ad-
dress at Several Meetings.

The schedule of Victory Loan
meetings which have been arranged
for different places in the county, is
the best that the people of the coun-
ty have had. In addition to the reg
ular musical program, which will
consist of vocal and instrumental Sc
lections, the services of Prof. Will
liam Wedelin, noted violinist, have
been secured through the co-opera-
tion of the State Chairman and this
promises a real musical treat to the
people of the various sections. In
addition to Mr.. Wedelin, Mr.. Will
liam Montignani, who spent consider
able time in France as an entertain
er, has also. beea secured. Mr.. Mon
tignani lectured sometime ago in
Cambridge, and kept his audience in
an uproar of laughter almost the en-
tire time that he was speaking. He
is very forceful speaker, and yet
weaves in so much of the humorous
that when he stops speaking the only
wish of the audience is that he might
be persuaded to keep on longer.
The schedule arranged follows:
Friday, April 25-Willianisburg.
