The Undertakers Ranged in Battle Line
and Ready for the Pray.
The undertakers' fight IS not over. In
the new aspect OF affairs sixteen under
takers, aided oy six liverymen, have
agreed to sign the pledge submitted BY
the drivers.
Against these sixteen undertakers and
the drivers union the other thirty-three
undertakers and twelve livery men are
determined to make a lasting tight.
The thirty-three undertakers will not
hire to or from the sixteen
and they say that the trouble Of ihe un-
dertakers who have submitted to the
Drivers Union has but just commenced.
funeral he will take q union hearse and
union coaches, and If some private indi-
vidual comes to the funeral In non
union coach all the union drivers
viii begin their customary antics Thus
it Is claimed that the union undertakers
will always be in trouble.
The thirty-three undertakers who still
defy the union say that they are sure that
there will not be any trouble at their
funerals, as they will have all
non-union COACHES. This fact
they intend to advertise and
they will say TO the public, Come TO us
for your funerals and we will guarantee
tidb There Will not DC huJ tFOuDie-
How far into the uncertain future this
guarantee operates they do not state.
1t is easy to see the motive Of the six
teen men who signed the surrender.
They cater to class of people
who sympathize with the laborers,
and who would not patronize them il
they continued to tight the drivers. This
forced these men to give in, in preference
to giving up business
Four Of the sixteen men who hold with
the union drivers have been expelled
from the association. The other twelve
will not be. as the association has other
aims besides fighting the coach drivers.
Bunneps men were called in this morn
ing and he will sign the agree
ment Of the drivers. The fight
between the thirty-three undertakers
and the sixteen undertakers combined
with the union coachdrivers will be a
long aud bitter one. Not one OF the
thirty-three EMPLOYS a union driver. and
and none will have any unioL coach
in line. Their fight against the drivers
union, and their determination not to
sign the drivers agreement will last
until they finish the union-so they say.

A Street and Water Board Caucus Makes
the Employees Very Nervous
The Street and Water Commissioners
held long conference last night. 1t was
midnight before the quintet dissolved.
Several members were interviewed
by a NEWS reporter this morn
ing as to whether the Board
had decided TO make any changes in the
official and clerical roster OF the Street
and Water Department. So far as any
one will admit there are to be no
material changes. Joseph Farmer will be
appointed Assistant Water Register to
succeed Mr.. Yoe. That matter was set
tied at last nights caucus The appoint
ment is credited to the influence of Com
missioner Dugan. in whose employ Mr..
Farmer is engaged as bookkeeper.
IL is said there was no opposi-
ton. Mr.. Dugan denies that ne
used his influence to secure Mr.. Farmers
appointment. He says the appointment
was urged by outside parties. While
the Commissioners all say there
are to be no other material
changes there is still feeling
OF uneasiness among the clerks and EN-
ployes OF the Department, and there are
knowing ones who assert they will not be
surprised to see a number of changes
made next Monday.

TRENTON. May IS, 1891. = Bank Ex-
aminer Watson Van Camp, who has been
issuing the warrants for the promoters
and agents of the fiy-by-night benevolent
societies, stated today that many of those
already arrested are beginning TO weaken,
and are anxious to know whether the
court will accept the fine of $500 and stop
prosecution.
So far he has issued capiases for
twelve of the New Jersey officers. He
thinks that the crusade has been bene-
ficial in one way, for it will clear away
the doubt that has hung over the Beneyo-
lent Society act as well as the general in
surance laws There is no doubt that
some of the cases will be appealed, and
the much desired opinion of the Supreme
Court will be obtained on the doubtful
powers given to the Insurance Com
missioner.
The defects in the present laws have
been pointed out to Commissioner
Harvey, and he proposed TO codify all
these laws, with a view to having the
necessary amendments made by the next
Legislature.
