and Mrs. L. B. Adrean, had close
call from serious injury last Thurs
day night. He was returning to his
home here from Rose Farm. When
near the Jas Mccall residence, in
Deerfield township, he collided with
large truck belonging to Howard
Singree of GAINESVILLE. 1t is stated
that Singree's truck had stalled on
the hill, and in letting it run back
to the level part of the road, he lost
control of it and it came to stand
still cross-wise in the road. Mr..
Adrean came up over rise in the
road and did not see the truck un-
til he was right onto it, and since
there was a bank on both sides of
the road he could not go around,
and the only thing to do was to
crash into the truck. Adrean suf-
fered cuts and bruises about one
leg. also his lip was cut. The car,
a Ford sedan, the property of his
grandfather, Mr. Geo. w. Duvall,
was damaged practically beyond re-
pair.

Hudson, Leader of NJ. W.

LongshOremen

NORFOLK, Va.-A mass meeting Of
Negro Longshoremen Of Norfolk and
Portsmouth, Va. held on Sunday, Jan.
28th, enthusiastically greeted Roy
Hudson, national secretary and Alex
ander Wright, secretary. of the
Hampton Roads Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, when they exposed
the code Of the ship owners as IN
tended to still further worsen the con-
ditions Of the waterfront workers.
The only provision that is new in
the code, said Hudson, Is that the
wages Of all waterfront workers shall
be regular day time wages as of July
1888. The code says nothing about
conditions, overtime or compensation
in case Of injury. The sentiment ex-
pressed by the mass meeting was
overwhelmingly against this code.
The mass meeting heartily ap-
proved the code prepared by the
Marine Workers Industrial Union, as
it was read and explained by Alex
ander Wright, as truly representing
the needs and interests Of the water
front workers,

men in behalf Of the seamen on the

with the longshoremen for Joint
struggle.
Two delegates, Alex. Wright and r.
Terry, were selected by the men at
the mass meeting to represent them
at Washington. The meeting decided
to send telegram to the N. r. A. Ad-
miniStrator supporting their delega-
ton and their demands. The meet
ing also decided to call another mass
meeting for Monday, Feb. 9th, 8 PM,
at GiddonS Hall. 1868 Church st.,

to put up to get a code that will be
in their interests.
