Declaring that they were not receiv-.
Ing enough money for their work, sev
enteen hostlers employed by the Cen
tral of Georgia railroad climbed from
their engines and went on a strike
Thursday. The action of the hostlers,
It Is said, Is bBsed on the refusal of the
railway company to Increase their sal
ary from $2.09 per day to $2.75,

cause of Increased duties In regard

work Friday morning as switch eng!
neers,” said Mr. Whitehurst, “but there
are some of them who ere not at work
at all today. I am doing all the work
of liontllng.”
When asked If the reported strike
had tied up or blocked the local yards
to any extent. Air. Whitehurst said:
“The yards are not blocked In any
way and you can see from the schedule
at the depot whether trains nre leaving
on lime or not. There Is some extra
work to do, of course, but there Is
serious difficulty.”
It is sold the hostlers have also asked
the railway company to give them one
hour for dinner, which demand, It 1*
claimed, has been refused. It la stated
