MASONS NAY STRIKE.
A Demand for Increased Pay Which
Contractors Say They Cannot
Grant.

The prospects are that after Monday
another eruption in labor circles will be
experienced. At the present time rough
brick layers in this city are Deing paid 45
cents per hour every day except Satur-
day, nine hours constituting a days work.
The pay on Saturday is 50 cents per hour
and eight hours constitutes the days
work. On Monday the bricklayers will
demand 80 cents an hour or - so per day.
This move has caused great excitement,
and it is understood that the boss build
ers will fight the union.
About score of we1l-known boss
masons from different sections Of the
county met in st. Bridget's Hall last
night and organized the "Boss Masons'
Protective Association Of Hudson
County" William C. White was chosen
for president; p. J. Condor, vice presi-
dent; James Ellington, secretary, and
Richard English, treasurer. The organi-
zation, which is to be a permanent one
did not decide to locate its headquarters

asked the object OF the organization. re-
piled Mutual protection"
Ii is stated on good authority that the
demands of the bricklayers will not be
acceded 10. The chief objection 10 the
increase Of rates Is that a number of
builders have taken contract work, and
their estimates being made up allow
masons only forty-five cents per hour.
The increase in pay at the present time,
they claim, would result in heavy losses
to number of contractors.

PRETTY WOMEN AT WAR.
A Trunk and a Pussy Cat Bring Form
Friends into n Police Court.

A Trunk and Pussy Cat Bring Former
Friends into n Police Court.
A fight between two well-dressed and
tolerably prepossessing women over
trunk was one of the amusing scenes in
the First District Court this morning.
Some DAYS ago Miss Lottie Ketchum
had Mrs. Hattie Cramer Of No. 206 Sixth
street and a young man named Frank
Stewart arrested for the larceny of her
trunk.
1t appears that Miss Ketchum became
tired OF lodging in the same house with
Mrs Cranmer and secured other apart
ments at Nc. 322 Fourth street She en-
ployed Frank Stewart to remove her
trunk.
Frank moved the trunk according to
promise, but Miss Ketchum thought the
charge exoroitant aud refused to pay,
whereupan Frank lugged the trunk back
to Mrs Cranmer's. He explained why
he brought the trunk back
When Miss Ketchum again sent for the
trunk, Mrs. Cranmer refused to let it go.
declaring that Miss: Ketchum must first
bring back hat she borrowed.
Miss Ketchum demurely poured her
complaint into the Justices ear. Mrs.
Cranmer, with her hands IN the side
pockets OF her silk dolman, assumed de-
nant look and beat tattoo with kid
boot on the floor of the prison pen.
'Have you got this lady's trunk ~
asked Justice Davis.
"Yes, SIR" replied Mrs. Cranmer, de-
family.
"Does she owe you anythings
"W ell, she did. She borrowed my hat,
and took it away with her when she
moved. Knowing the case was to come
up this morning she sent it back last
night"
''well. you'll have to let her have the
trunk"
"Ali right, but she's got to take her cat
away, uoo"
Her WHAT"
Cat, cat, pussy cat"
"On."
But. Judge" asked the complainant
demurely Cant you make that man
bring back my trunk?"
Il don't propose 10 lug that trunk all
over creation and get nothing for it.
Judge, your Honor" interrupted Stew
ard, mot If | have to serve term in
States prison"
The charge of larceny was dismissed.
and Miss Ketchum will be obliged to get
some one else to remove her trunk and
cat. She took the bird with her when
she left.
Both women left the court room with
victory perched like a rocky eagle on
each sof their fair brow. They were
followed by their respective friends hurl-
ing glances of defiance. Probably the
end is not yet.

II WOULD Be ROUGH ON JEWS.
How the Russian Laws Concerning Them
Would Work Ouer Here.

How the Russian Laws Concerning Them
Would Work ouer Here.
Let us suppose a part Of our own COM
munity subjected TO the legal restrictions
which now obtain in Russia with regard
to the jew. Our laws on the subject
would then read somewhat as follows
"All Jews born in the United States
shall be regarded a. aliens. No Jews
shall dwell in any part of the United
states except the States of Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi, unless they are
graduates Of some State Univer-
sity, member OF learned pro-
certificates from a technical school,
or members Of a chamber Of commerce
who pay $500 year for that privilege. No
jew shall mold auy government or munich
pal Office. No Jew shall buy or rent
landed property. Ali Jews shall pay special
taxes In connection with religious SER
vices. No synagogue may be opened
without the permission of the President
OF the United States, aud no public pray
ers may be held in any other place than a
synagogue. When more than ten Jews
wish to meet together for a con-
sultation or discussion. they must obtain
permission from the municipal authOri-
ties. Married Jews who become convert
ed TO Christianity are ipso facto divorced
on conversion: but the wife, IL she re-
mains Jewess. may not marry again.
All jews attaining.the age oftwenty,years
shall serve i've years in the active army
and thirteen years iu the reserve, but no
jew may become an officer or even an
officers servant. No Jew shall serve in
the navy"
Such condition of affairs as is implied
In this paraphrase Of the Russian laws
affecting Jews is so impossible. SO incon-
ceiyable. in this country and 70 us, that
we can scarcely imagine il to exist any,
where else. And vet there is no exag0er-
alton in such a paraphrase. The Jew
today in Russia is hedged around by a
set OF restrictions as whimsical and as
offensive as anything devised by the
fanatics of the middle ages, carried out
with a savage brutality which is possible
only in a half civilized country. jews
are both heretics and aliens in Russian
eyes.-P. q. Hubert In the March Forum.

square with the Principal, and he
were glad that so many were willing to
aid in wreaking the vengeance that had
so long been delayed. The law concern

the chairman said, and the plotters could
not pay back Mr.. Linsley in his own coin,
but there was another method left open
which he knew would insure the desired
result. This was to give Prof. Linsley a
banquet on May % and wine and dine
him like a young fellow"
With great applause every man present
swore by pint bottle that he would aid
in consummating this long and eagerly
waited for chance to ''get square, and
Mr.. Cases proposition was unanimously
adopted.
A motion next prevailed that a perma-

purpose of repeating the revenge once a

Committee selected was composed of
George b. Fielder, Chairman; John f.

She Chews Tobacco and Makes Dress

Mary Benson, an old lady with an ex-
ceedingly glib tongue, who chews to-
bacco like veteran, was arrigned before
Justice Davis this morning. Handsome

seats. When Reen placed her under ar

In court this morning the old lady

her to chew tobacco.
