MILL GIRLS ON STRIKE.

They Want More than Six Dollars for q
Months work Raypnnes Excited.
About ninety girls employed in the silk
winding mill of William MacFariand g
Co., Avenue A. Bayonne, are on strike.
They say their grievances are small pay
and long hours, and an attempt to inn
pose double work upon them.
Yesterday morning the girls received
their wages for February; several of them
thought they were not paid all they were
entitled to and there was much dissatfs-
faction. When they spoke to Superin-
tendent NJ F. Jacobs and Manager
Arthur MacFarlane they were dismissed,
they say, with promises o. an investiga-
tion. A few minutes later Nellie and
Pollie Rogers, sisters, were directed to
lake charge of an entire winding frame
each, instead of attending to a single
side.
Claiming that the quality of the silk
was poor and rendered their work oner-
GUS they demurred. Nellie Rogers re-
fused to return to her frame and was dis
charged. Then her sister went out.
Many girls followed and soon nearly all
the frames were idle. The strikers with
drew quietly from the mill. Only score
of girls and dozen men remained.
With these, Manager McEarlane kept
on working. In the evening the strikers
assembled i'll the vicinity to endeayor TO
induce the girls VINO had remained not
to return this morning. There was little
excitement and no disturbance.
This morning the girls again gathered
near the mill, and they succeeded in gain
ing two recruits The intend to hold
meeting this afternoon in Germania Hall,
on Avenue d, TO appoint committee of
conference.
1--WE want IS week and are willing to
run an entire frame for that amount"
said one of the strikers, "and we won't
go back unless we get it, We work ten
hours day when work is steady"
For last month, less three and one
quarter days, l only got 1913. Another
girl was away three days and got S10.26.
Others who were absent two days and
one half days respectively received 50
and $685."
The mill had busy look this morning
and there were about thirty girls and
dozen men and boys at work. Manager
MacFarlane said that he would not take
the girls back and did not want them.

mistakes were made in Republican coll
unlils and Mr.. Love called his attention
to 1t and the clerk made a correction.
When Mr.. Love came back from dinner
sent to the City Hall for another one. In
the meantime tue ballots were
deposited in an old box. Mr..
Love kept tally OF TWO hundred votes
counted. A young man named Yale kept
il for the Republicans. At the end of the
first hundred the election officers ac-
cepted his tally as right. AT the end OF
200 the tally agreed, and the vote was
nearly tie. Mr.. Love did not see any of
the jokers worked around the polls.
Upon cross-examination by ex-Judge
Garretson, Mr.. Love said that Murray
called his attention to the jokels when
they came out of the box He did not
know how many came cut of the box, but
he did not-think there were more than
five. ~
Witness said that he felt that scores Of
repeaters were voting there. He was
well acquainted in the precincts and he
volunteered his services to help keep
watch of the vote, but that Conway was
placed there by Police Justice Wanser.
When the committee examined the box
OF that precinct some days ago the tally
sheet gave Mcdonald 274 and Stuhr 238,
which the committees recount changed
to 304 for Stuhr and 200 for Mcdonald.
THE KEARNEY BOXES
The committee next turned its atten-
tion to Kearney and first examined the
box of the Thiad precinct. Ali they could
find. d.amiss there was the poll list. which
was written on a sheet and a half of legal
can.
The recount agreed with the tally sheet
on 10 for Mcdonald and 67 for Stuhr
A more marked degree of irregularity
was found in the Fourth precinct box
yryi, ,frh nad full II
sheet was in such a demoralized
state that the experts ON the committee
could not make anything out of it. The
recount gave Stuhr 148 and Mcdonald
1I6.
Stuhr lost one vote in the Second
precinct. In the First precinct
the committee diminished Stuhr's vote
one. Mcdonald got rid of four votes in
this precinct.
The tally sheet in this precinct showed
a weak attempt to bolster up the Stuhr
vote. The sheet gave him 102 votes, but
all the marks the committee could find ON
it numbered 81.
NORTH HUDSON BOXES.
The committee then took q leap and
landed in Gutenberg. There versthing
was found in lovely order. Coming
down to Union Township like degree of
loveliness was found, and the committee
hurried through, leaving the vote
at the same figures at which
it was found on the tally sheet. The
committee took one from Mcdonald and
gave it to Stuhr when they reached the
South precinct of North Bergen In the
North precinct, North Bergen, Mcdonald
gained one vote
This morning the committee examined
the four boxes of the town of Union and
found nothing irregular in them. The
tally sheet and the recount agreed in
every case.

DEMOCRATS TALKED OF.
The Mayoralty Contest
Brings Prominent
Names to the
Front.
CLEVELAND LEFT OUT.
The Party Leaders Mean to Have a
Candidate Whose Name Will Be
a Tower OF Strength.

There was o conference at the Demo-
cratic Headquarters, on Grove street, last
evening. The members of the County
Executive Committee. with the exception
of Mr. Weinthal, were in attendance
John H. Brown, Fire Commissioner Con-
way, Corporation Counsel Edwards, Cor
poration Attorney Hudspeth and Philip
e, Martin were with them. 1t was under
stood that one of the points to be dis
cussed was as to the succession for the
Mayoralty, and there was some casual
talk about it, but nothing that took the
form of action. All that was said went
on the assumption that Mayor Cleveland
is entirely out of the race. An editorial
IN New York paper, making a bitter
attack on some of the persons to whom
he owes his present position, has been
traced directly to him and has served to
strengthen the previously formed deter
mination not to permit him to succeed
himself again.
.'The Mayoralty canvass" said one Of
the confreres. Stands just whore it did a
fortnight ago"
known that the Democrats are not mac
tive. They realize tnat none but a
f1rst-class nominee can win; and
are canvassing many names. 1t is with
the desire of assuring victory with the
nomination that many OF them ha We
urged Mr. Edward f. G. Young to ent er
the lists. Mr.. Young's business affai rs
absorb all of his time and attention, and
it is not likely that he can be persuaded
under any circumstances to become a
candidate.
DIR. benjamin Edge is another to whom
whom some Democrats have turned their
eyes. 1t is thought likely, however, that
Mr.. Edge will not consent to get in under
existing circumstances
A strong movement is on foot to put
Allan l.. McDermott at the head of the
ticket, and he has been urged to get into
the breach Mr.. McDermott would prob
ably feel it his duty to accept If the party
called him, but it is known beyond ques-
tion that he will not make any effort to
influence the action of the Conven ton.
There are some signs pointing towards
Colonel John McAnnerny. His absence in
Europe makes it impossible to say
whether he would consent 10 stand or not;
but steps have been taken to communicate
with him on the subject
Meanwhile Sheriff Davis armor shows
no signs of assault, and the conviction is
general that he aud Allan L. McDermott
are the formos. candidates for the favor
Of the Convention.
Tee leaders are preparing the machinery
of the party for the spring campaign, and
last nights conference was mainly de-
veted to a discussion as to the organiza-
tion OF the districts for active party work.

A Confidence Man with Pockets Full OF
Counterfeit Bills.
Carl Lewis, an Italian confidence man,
who gave his address as No. 20 Green
wich street, New York, was arrested by
Detective Dalton at noon today. Lewis
was arrested about a year ago.
At that time a number of pocketbooks
stuffed with small iron and brass quoits
were found upon his person, evidently
carried for the purpose OF deception.
Lewis preys upon the Italian and French
sailors and emigrants mainly bound for
South America. Today is sailing day at
the Red Star Line docks.
Lewis was observed by Detective Dalton
plying his nefarious calling among the
foreigners gathered about the dock be-
fore the ship sailed. When searched at
Police Headquarters a number of pads
with counterfeit bills wrapped upon the
ou6side were found stuffed in numerous
secret pockets in the lining of his over
coat. A number OF Confederate bills he
classed as good Brazilian money.

prospect that before long the Senate will
go into executive session some day and
the Republican senators will ease their
minds over one of Governor Abbett's
nominations
The last Legislature passed a bill which
was supposed to empower the Governor
to appoint Law Judge of the Court OF
Common Pleas, of Atlantic County.
Some doubt arose as to whether Law
Judge could be appointed under the law,
or whether the Cilcuit Judge should con-
tinue to preside over the Court. and the
matter was referred to the Attorney
General.
General Stockton has given the Gov
ernor his opinion to the effect that law
judge must be appointed The Governor
will look over the ground and presum-
ably SEND a name to the Senate for the

The Republicans are already growing
at the opinion and making all sorts of

CANADA TAKES THE HINT.

BY the new tariff law the duty on lum-
Der is reduced from 81 per thousand feet
to 81, on timber for spars and other pur-
poses from 20 per cent to 10 per cent and
on square timber from one cent per cubic
foot to one-half cent; providing that the
country from which such materials are
imported shall not levy an export duty
thereon; otherwise the former duties
shall remain in force.
The Cleveland Leader calls attention
to the fact that whatever advantages we
have heretofore derived from import
ing timber and lumber from Canada to
supplement our rapidly diminishing
stock, has been neutralized by heavy
export duty levied by the Canadian gov
eminent. When our duty was lowered
in 1888 the Canadians simply increased
the export duty, so that nothing was
gained by American consumers.
The Canadian government issued a
proclamation last Tuesday, just eight
days after the new tariff went into effect,
abolishing the export duties on spruce
and pine logs and shingle bolts. This is
the first official foreign response to the
new tariff law. The Mckinley bill
threatens retaliation for export duties
levied against this country, or other I'M
Just or unreasonable discrimination, and
our Canadian cousins are the first to
take the hint.
