They Will Petition the Management for a Substantial Increase STANDARD PAY NOT ASKED They Only Receive $2.50 Per Day at Present and Will Request That the Amount be Made $3.50. Tiniest; the management of the Brunswick & Birmingham Railroad company agree to increase the pay of the locomotive engineers of the com pany, from a salary of $2.50 to $3.50 per day, there is likely to be a strike in the motive power department of that company on September 1. Since the inception of the B. & B. the engineers of the comapny have been working for the salary of $2.50 per day. This was done, they claim, to lend endorsmeent to the concern and to assist it, in its fight to be come a factor in the railroad world. The engineers now fee! that they are entitled to a little more considra tion on the part of their employers, as the line has to all intents and pur poses flourished and prospered, and to this end the engineers have agreed to ask the management to increase their pay as stated above. The News lias not been able to secure any statement, from either side in the matter. General Manager Berry was seen by a member of the staff and refused to discuss the mat ter, more than to say: "I have seen no letter from thq \engineers and. whi'e, i tmdersjijjghe Je *fng talked of oSPwPwects, I retuse to be quoted.’ 1 Several of the engineers were seen, but they were unwilling to talk oi the matter and refused to do so. However, The News states on its own information that there is a peti tion going the rounds of the engineers, asking for the Increases named aim that it will be, or has already been submitted to the B. & B. manage ment. The standard pay of engineers at this time on all other lines is so much per mile and amounts to more than double the amount nw being paid the engineers of the B. & B, However, the B. & B. engineers seem to be content with $3.50 per day and will ask their employers for this amount. If it is not paid, then it is more than likely that a strike will occur among all of the engineers of the company. The ayes and nays ihaivng been called for, the report was then ordereci tiled.

SHERIFF MILET AFTER RIOTERS Camden Official Passes Through Fnroute to Cumberland / THEY GO TO SAINT MARY’i/ The Negroes Who Were Riotous at Cumberland Last Week Will Have to Answer to The Courts. David Bailey, formerly of this city, now sheriff of Camden county, ar rived in the city yesterday from St. Marys and will leave this morning for CuMberland, where ho goes for the purpose of arresting the five negroes who, a few days ago attempted the life of H. S. McCrary of this city and created a great disturbance at the pier at Cumberland. This matter is familiar to the read ers of The News. Mr. McCrary, who was in charge of the car lines at the island, remonstrated with one of the negroes for handling a piece of bag gage rather roughly. Nothing more was thought of the matter, and that evening when the boat was about to leave, a large crowd of darkies, heavily armbd, visited the pier and openly engaged in riot. When Mr. .McCrary reached the city he took up the matter with the Camden county authorities and had warrants sworn out. for five of the negroes, charging them with riot. The warrants were turned over to Sheriff Bailey and he will visit Cum berland today and arrest his prisoners. This is a very aggravated case and be hoped that the courts of Oarßen county ,will g!ve' , tli??E> 'iTL-rsi' the justice they merit. Sheriff Bailey will carry his pris oners to St. Marys and their cases are returnable to the December ses sion of the superior court of Camden County. Montana Elks in Session- Butte.

But this did not put the Pilots up in the air and they settled down to hard work and not another run was made until the seventh, when on a foul hall, called wrong by the umpire, the locals piled up two and Pilots went to the good with one.
