60,000 WORKERS STRIKE
WALK OUT OF NEW YORK CLOTH
ING MAKERS TO SPREAD TO
NEWARK AND PHILADELPHIA.
New York, Dee. 15.—Labor’'s, move
ment for an eight-hour day was inaug
‘urated among New York's clothing
'wm'lwrs today with a strike which
will throw more than 60,000 persons
,uut ¢l work if the leaders’ plans are
carried out. The walkout is expected
to extend to Newark and perhaps to
Philadelphia, which would affect thou
sands of other werkers.
The strike call, addressed to cut
ters, coat workers, dressmagers and
pants makers employed in the men's
and children's clothing branches, was
made public today hy the ;\lmagamat-‘
ed Clothing Workets of America,
which organized the movement, 'l‘]wl
call containg the {ollowing sentence:
“Kight hours for work, eight hours
for sleep and eight hours to live, is
what all workers are striving for.
“We want some share of this great
prosperity to meet 'the high cost of |
living. Be orderly and permit ne dis- |
order.”
Besides an eight-hour day the work
ers demand a weekly wage increase
of 2. Ninety per cent of the employ
ees to whom the strike call was ad- |
dressed are declared to be members |
of the amalgamated body, the others |
working in non-union shops. &'

COLUMBUS MAY VOTE ON i
$60,000 SEWER CONTRACT |
SR |
Cciumbus, Dee, 15—Mayor John (‘.‘
Cook, in his annual message to voun-g
¢il has recommended that a bond vlvv-i
tion be called for the purpose of h‘l-'
ting the people decide whether or not |
a $60,000 sewer will be constructed |
over Cock's Branch in the nurlh'erni
part of the city. l
Council has been petitioned by the |
Rose Hill Improvement Association toé
onstruct this sewer, it being stated !
that it was a great nuisance and eye
sore to the city, and a prolific breed- |
ing place for mosquitoes. * :
The sanitation committee in its an- |
nual report recommended the construe |
tion of the sewer. It is probable that |
the matter will be acted on during
the January meeting of council.

'IN PROSPEROUS YEAR TAX
, Here's a situation that is ‘very much
I out of line with the general good sea
son of prosperity that the people of
’ Crisp county are enjoying, thinks Tax
| Collector W. J. Musselwhite. Just a
]fra(fh'on over cne-fourth of the tax
Ipayers of the county have paid their
state and county taxes for 1916. Ac
cording to Mr. Musselwhite if just
one man had to work the job, he
wouldn't have time to tear out the
receipts and stamp them in the two
days, Monday and Tuesday, left to the
tax payers in which to meet this ob
ligation. ¥ {
During no previous year within the
experience of Mr. Musselwhite as tax
collector have the property holders
been so delinquent in paying their
taxes, and this notwithstanding 15
and 20 cent cotton and general good
times. The tax payers of the country }
precincets have paid up better than‘
those of the Cordele district. |
The additional cost to the delin
agnent tax payer after the 19th, Tues- |
day, will be one dollar, 50 cents for |
collecting and 50 cents for the fi fu.t
The Tax Collector wants ‘em to hurry
up and get settled up before the close ;
of the 19th if possible. |
The same condition as applied to!
the state and county tax payers is
true of the city tax payers. City Clerk
George Harris reports that they are
coming in slowly and that they have
not “come up’” nearly so well as dur-i

OLD MACON STATION
TO HOUSE CHAUTAUQUA
Macon, Dec. 15.-——The old Union pas
senger staticn which has been aban
dened by the railroads entering Macon
and which is now standing idle, will
rrobably be the meeting place for the
first chautauqua of the south, which
is to be held in Macon in March under
the auspices of the Lake Chautauqua
association and the Southern Con
ference on Education and Industry.
The suggestion that the old station
be converted into an auditorium for
this purpose was made some time ago
by several Macon people. Today a let
ter was received from President W. A,
Winburn, of the Central -of Georgia
railway, announcing that the plan can
be carried out. With the expenditure
of a small sum of money the big train
shed can be enclosed with. canvass
walls and it will make an ideal au
ditorium, capable of seating four or
five thousand people. The arrangement
is such that the present waiting rooms
and lobby can be converted into a big
stage,
There is now no question about Ma
con being the permanent location for
the Chautauqua of the South. Dr. A.
P. Bourland, secertary of the South
ern Conference on Education and In
dustry, has so stated in letetrs sent to
various cities contesting for the chau
tauqua. .
In the meantime a chorus of 33
voices is now undergoing training here
for the coming chautauqua, while the
board of directors of the Chautauqua
asscciation is planning a meeting in
Macon January 5 for the purpose of
compelting all final details. A program
of attractions covering a period of
three weeks is now being mapped out
by the officers.
Misses Ruth Matthews and Charlie
Ertzberger will arrive Thursday from
G. N. I. C. to spend the holidays with
their parents.
A Christmas gift should not be prized for e
intrinsic value, but for the love and good cheer
it carries with it. A friend who would not ap
preciate the smallest token of your love is not
a real friend. Make your Christmas giving a
