In a large measure, they. will

After canvassing several Durham

sons with copies of last week’s
CAROLINA TIMES in their homes.
To his surprise, Mr. T., with
his pockets weighted down with
moQey, had to return to his office
with most of that money in his
possession.
He could only find three per
sons who wanted some of his
money. That’s right . . . only thre^
persons could produce a copy of
last week’s CAROLINA TIMES.
So MR. T. was only able to get
rid of $3 ... a dollar each to
the three persons who were
thoughtful enough to hang on to
last Week’s paper.
Those persons whom MR. T.
gifted with cash last week were
Mrs. Florence Johnson, 502 Ram
sey St.; Mrs. Alice Williamson,
613 Ramsey St. and Mrs. Rachel
Smith, 514 Ramsey St.
These three charming ladles
won themselves a dollar each and
had the opportunity of hitting
MR. T for one of his $5 jackpot
prizes, but they failed to answer
a question taken from last week’s
paper.
MR. CAROLINA T. is a part of
tho LUCKY SIGN CONTEST spon
sored by the CAROLINA TIMES.
Each week. Mr. T. will canvass
several neighborhoods in the city
seeking someone who wants some
free money.

Another Strike
“We don’t intend to go back
■ntil we get some consideration.”
This was the firm decision of
some 70 sanitation workers who
early this week walked off th»ir
jobs in protest aeainst low wage*
and “other grievances.”
Their walk-otit Tuesday morn
ing, the second in a month, left
the city's streetn cliitter"d with
trash and earhaffe. and fluttered
the Department of Sanitation with
phone rails froni citizens seekinP
an pxDlanation for the nnretnoved
rubbish.
Th® men called their strike
Tuesday morning after learnins
that no action had t>een taken on
their reou.est for a 13-cent an hour,
raise. Thev comnl.iined that the [
highest salary for garbage re-i
movers. som* of whom have been!
on the joh nearlv 20 years, is I
$1.22 an hour, while manv of the |
white truck drivers who have i
been working onlv two or three ‘
years are paid up to $1.75 per,
hour. I
They said they had Dnly r-*-:
ceived a 5 cent an hour raise in ■
three years.
A month aw. the men staged
walkout for the sam> reasons, but
returned to work under th» threat
of being fired and a promise that'
the mater would be “looked inti».”
The only consideratiim given the.
garbage workers was the hiking
of base pay for beginners from |
91 cents per hour to a dollar. This j
move by the Citv Manager’s of-1
fice did not affect the pre.sent.
strikers, most of whom have been 1
on the job fur more than a year.:

Hiiwever, after unfavorable ic-
sulU at the Council’s Tuesday
night meeting, gartuge tracks
were still idle and refose was
still piled high Wednesday norn-
ing.
The three-member eommittee
was authorized by the council,
but indications were that the men
would not get a raise this year
and that further work stoppages
would result in loss of jobs.
Several of the councilmen
