 Efforts on the part of a mediation committee from the Central Trades and Labor Council yesterday to bring about an adjustment of the differences that led twenty-five girls employed by the Southern Manufacturing Company to walk out Saturday, were met by officials of the company with the statement that the matter would be taken under advisement.
In addition to the twenty-five that walked out Saturday, forty more failed to report for work yesterday morning. Advertisements were inserted by the company yesterday offering employment in the vacancies created by the strikers. It was stated by the company that no strikers who encouraged the walkout would be employed.
Reports that the girls who walked out had been compelled to work in poorly ventilated rooms were shown to be without basis in fact. An inspection of the quarters showed that they were well lighted and ventilated, and that the working conditions were such as to merit the approval of the State Labor Department.
The committee that called on President C. C. Laird, of the Southern Manufacturing Company, was composed of Howard T. Colvin, F. A. Cosby, J. H. Gardner, J. L. Wilcox, F. K. Maxey, and C. L. Bottoms. They interceded for the girls and asked that they be taken back on satisfactory terms.
President Laird said last night that he had no statement to make. The matter, he said, has been taken under advisement. He admitted that the company was advertising for help to take the places made vacant by the girls who had walked out.
