THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 212. FORCES ARE REDUCED BY RAILROAD LINES ON ACCOUNT OF STRIKE A GENERAL CUT IDE BY B, & B, Men in Nearly Every De partment are to be Dropped EVERY SECI ION FOREMAN WILL SI OP WORK TODAY General Manager Berry Explains why the Cut is Made.—Hundreds of Cars are Blocked. Other Lines Also to Reduce in Yards. The seriousness of the strike sit uation between the lumber and cross tie shippers of Brunswick and the longshoremens’ union seems to be having its effect upon the transpor tation lines entering! Brunswick. The Brunswick and Birmingham seeims toi have been the first to feel the ill effects of th/s labor disturban ces and yesterday morning it was anitoußced from the general officers of the line that the strike situation had tnfude it necessary for the com pany toi materially conduct itself along retrenchment lines in order to meet the emergences of this very complex and thoroughly varying condition. Consequently this cojmpany yester day morning Issued a general order, - effective this morning, whereby the entire force in all departments of the company has been materially reduced’ In the general offices rtlie clerical Jfrtrce In the office of the general manger, the auditor, the freight and passenger department, has suffered considerably and eight or ten clerks ip these departments have been tem porarily dispensed with. In the motive power department the entire car works has been remov ed, including the foiremiam. and here pnjy such employes will he kept as Will (be necessary to keep the few engines in condition that will be re quired to perforin the service under the new arrangement The entire switching crew has beien laid off. Ihe force in the office of Bocal Agent Manning hue been materially decreas ed and ev<ery section master on the lime of the road will be laid off, pen ding the adjustment of the labor sit uation in Brunswick. When questioned on the subject General Manager Berry said: "On account of the congested condi tion of freight at Brunswick, owing to strike conditions, the B. & B. rail road effective at. qlnce, Will cut off all section foremen and men with the exception of one man to patrol their respective sections twice daily. The switch engines will ho cut off one half day. Forces will !>e reduced ini Gen eral manager's office, Buperiuteiutant of Motive power department, car de partment. No freight will be handled such as lumber and ties destined to B ! runsw(iick. Locf'il iijijeight huch as merchandise and car load shipments pther tha.ni specified above, will ho handled ns heretofore, "This order effective until the strike conditions at Brunswick are adjusted. All men laid off will lie put back in the company’s service just as soon as a settlement is made Ibetween the lue. bermen and the strikers. “The naaiwagement hesitates to, tab this step but owing to conditio., which they cannot control, they forced to do so from a linauci.u point "Six hundred cars belonging t to B &ft alone are t ied up, not conn to. the large 'number of cars belonging toiforeign roads which are also on their tracks under load on which tie > paying a per diem of 2n cent: per day, met are now paying on a good many cars a penalty charge >1 one dollar per day. Hence the sit uation.” As will be noted by the above in terview, Manager Berry regrets that prevailing conditions made it neces sary to lake tliis step, but he feels that as a financial proposition lie should protect his interest by shut ftiig oft various avenues of disburse ments that had no corresponding re turn of receipts. in this connection the Southern rail, way and the Atlantic Coacft Bine, joint yard agency, yesterday noon found it necessary to dispense with just one half thair switchins service I in consequence two locomotives work ing ten men were laid oil at the noon hour. Commercial Agent Wright, who has charge o£ the switching force in this city, was seen by a News retp resenta tiv,e last night and he said that no other changes were contemplated by the joint yard here. The fact that thousands of freight cars o£ both lines were tied up In Brunswick ac counts for the step taken in the mat ter. As the above story indicates, and coupled with additional fact regarding the strike, published elswhere in this issue, it seems that the strike sit uation is moree seriolus than was at first contemplated, and it is to be hoped that all parties at interest will be speedily brought together in a general adjustment in the present v,ery unpleasant conditions. IT CAUSED THE FUED. Removal of a Feminine Post Master Caused Trouble. Washington, Sept. B.—By the re moval of Miss Huldah B. Todd, post mistress at Greenwood, Del., as <- a fa vor” to United States Senator J. Frank Allee, it is expected that the feud between the Addicksand regular Republican factions In the Blue Hen State will be increased. It is predicted that Senator L. Heis ler Ball, the other compromise candi date in breaking the senatorial dead lock, will take the fight into the sen ate when congress epens, and may make an attack upon Eledry C. Payne, postmaster general, who “obliged” Senator Allee. When a truce was patched up in Delaware, it was understood that Fed eral patronage in Kent and Sussex counties was to he controlled by Sena tor Allee, and that in New Castle by Senator Bail. It was agreed, however, postmasters were not t;V r ?f}ne to wash your pis ex jAuaji T. make ijpwi protect*.” ... Todd, wiS was in Allee’s. bailiwick, anil Dr. Ball’s adherents assert that it was violated when Senator Allee sought her removal because she was “particularly and personally obnox ious” to him. Friction aroused by Miss Todd’s re moval may ltave an important bearing upon Delaware’s delegat ion to the Re publican National Convention next year. What effect will be produced will depend largely upon President Roosevelt’s action in the case. Appeal will be made to him to reinstate M i.ss Todd, or, at least, insist that written charges, to whicli the deposed post mistress will have an opportunity to answer, be tiled. MORE VAGRANTS TRIED IN JUDGE LAMBRIGHT’S COURT Several More Were up Yesterday and 1 Bound Over. Yesterday was another busy day in Justice Lambright’s court, and several more vagrants were given a, prelimi nary hearing. As on the day before, soma were bound over and others re leased. Solicitor J. T. Colson, of the City court, appeared in behalf of the State, and most of the negroes were repre sented by attorneys, and in some of tire cases, a real hard light resulted. Many of the negroes who ltave been arrested on the charge of vagrancy appear in court and swear that they are working, ;uirl evidence is also in troduced to that effect, and it is then quite difficult to prove to the cont vary. Anyway, the arrests during the past few days lias served to greatly frighten the Brunswick loafer, and a great number of t hem have sought other parts. Council Tomorrow Night.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. B.—This week’s sessiou of the city court, which begins tomorrow, promises to be the liveliest on record, owing to the large number of vagrancy cases on the docket, and the fact that in a number of instancts a hard light will he made by the friends of the defendants to prevent their con viction. Especially is this true in the cases of the white men arrested on the charge. The court officials are fearful that tire law will prove inoperative. Not because the law itself is defective, but because the people do not want it to operate, and will attempt to defeat it. It lias come to the attention of the officers that in several cases friends will come forward and testify in behalf of the defendants, and parents and other relatives will testify that the defendants loaf with their consent, and that they are willing, able, and do support them in their idleness. A number of ttie lawyers at the local bar are also confident that the law will not stand the test of an appeal to the supreme court. They do not be lieve, for instance, where a man’s wife and children are willing and do sup port him in idleness, that he can be found guilty of vagrancy. Solicitor Fogarty is not discouraged, however, by this turn in some of the cases, and will exhaust every ails/ > bring about the copyicMpM£t-.sVt-< * fend*/ ....Me doc “ ,ee " ''V ynortf ,o t *,.v,c the la tv a'.d rid the community of the drones, he should have t he support of every law-abiding oitizen.

The above resolution was passed unanimously at. a joint meeting of the Brunswick lumbermen and stevedor es held in the .hoard of trade ruitm in the city hall yesterday.

The merchants held ose or two meetings yesterday, but the ahov,e res. olulion explains the result in short. The merchants do not think they have been treated fairly tiy the union inasmuch as they went on a striltu aIiUD- the demanded 4 incrcasei had been granted, and they now intend, together with tiie stevedores, to fight it out to a finish. Ihe longshoremen announce that they will not return to work until an agreement lias been made, guaitau teeing them 15 cents per hour in fu ture. This will never he done Just what turn the matter will take now is not known, hut it in generally believed that the lumber dealers mid stevedores have some good plan on tool, for labor, which will probably he advanced within a few days. The sit tiialtiou, however, has readied a serious stage, and it is to he hoped that the matter will soon end. Low Rates to Philadelphia.
