MULLIS, A, Corbitt’s Old Stand, Willacoochee, Ga, Naval Stores • * Men Combine. Albany, Ga., Nov. 27—For the purpose of bringing about a bett er understanding among interes s which have {Hitherto operated independently, and with the im mediate object in view of curtail ing production of turpentine and rosin . in. Southwest Georgia, about thirty of the most prom inent turpentine bperators of this section met in Albany yesterday afternoon and formed a prelimin ary organization, the offects of which promise to be farreacliing. It is-stated that those in atten dance or represented by proxy at yestesday’s meeting and in sympathy with its purposes completely dominate the turpen tine business in Southwest Geor gia. It is stated that not a man in this section of Georgia, who is en gaged in the turpentine business has made a dollar this year but that on the contrary, 95 per cent of them have lost money. The agreement reached at yesterdays meeting amounts to this: No new boxes will be cut dur ing the coming season above a number sufficient to give the present labor force something to do, but instead of the laborers making $2 to $2.50 a day they will make only 50 or 75 cents. The operotors will work the crops already cut, and get along as best they can until conditions improve, whenever that may be. It is probable that an attempt be made to have operators hrWhgrcjtaru-; of this State: and TTlrr o-' meat to curtail the production of turpentine and rosin.
