LOCAL APATHY.

Laborers Distrust the. Law and Employ
ers All Dislike 1t.
The greater number of manufacturers
in this city will not, in all probability, re-
cognize the fifty-fye hour law. From Ia
borers whom I interviewed this morning
l learned that there was some opposition
to the enfoi cement of the law, as it is
feared strikes would result and prove
more damaging 10 their interests than
the half holiday on Saturday would bene-
fit them. Again the fncb that the con-
s~titutionaltty OF the act is being tested in
the Courts has q tendency to cause manu-
facturers and other employers of laborers
to be reticent on the subject.
q Mr.. James Mccain, a notable labor
man s. nd an authority upon contemplated
movements of lahoring men, said this
morning: Il belong to the Eccentric Eu-
gineers Union. Our union mas given but
little thought to the ffty-fve hour
act. The matter is in court now.
and | cannot say that | have
heard many favorable expressions
in It's behalf. We, as engineers, have but
little to Say in such matters. We work
as individuals. We cannot be expected
to dictate to thousands of vorkmen.
When mills and factories shut down we
are compelled to work later. We cannot
say we are going to recognize
the ffty-five hour law and
then shut down and keep
other labofers and mechanics from work.
Laboring men and mechanics, / know.
favor the establishment of a uniform
time of labor. That would be to The In
terests OF the labering man and also to
the employer. Unless the time is ma.le
uniform itknocks competition In the head.
In this city today some men WORK ten
hours a day. others eight and nine. In cer-
tain branches of business this rule won't
work. A man who has his me n work
eight hour and pays them the same
VICES aucther mali pays his men who
work ten hours, canno cofDpate with
him. / do not believe any attempt will
bs made to enforce the Fffty-fve Hour
law, even though its constitutionality be
established"
At the offices of Colgate & Co. the
officials state that they have heard noth-
ing from their employees concerning the
new act. 1'hey decline to statewhas they
would do were their employees to demand
a recognition of The act by them.

Druggists Compete and the Pablic Reap
the Benefit.
The establishment of two large drug
stores, one at Montgomery and Grove
streets and another at No. SO Montgomery
street, by Messrs. Ewing IL Co., has
caused considerable competition in the
drug business. To compete with older
firms Ewing & Co. have placed in stock
the finest line of drugs ohtainable. Their
drugs are the purest and the best money
can procure. The stores are roomy and
clean and are presided over by the most
efficient compounders of medicines.
Fancy n toilet articles of every de-
scripuion are offered for sale at prices to
suit everyone. All goods are guaranteed
and satisfaction is given every customer.
Both stores ara provided with night
clerks who will attend to the wants of
customers at any hour. The soda pre-
pared by Ewing & Co. has won favor with
everyone. 1t is a standard feature of
summer strolls by jersey City's residents.

Special to the JERSEY Citv News.
NEWARK, July 10, 1885,. Laurence T.
Fell, Child Labor Inspector, was seen yes
terday by a reporter with reference to the
Fffty-fye Hour Law. He declined to ex-
press any personal opinion as TO the mer-
it's of the law, saying thai it would be in
the highest degree improper for him as an
officer of the State charged with the exc
cution of the law, to express any opinion
as TO its merits. He said tnat he was
going to enforce it. He was not the
judge Of the consSitutionallty of the law,
and he assumed that 1t was cOnsuitu-
| tional and he hoped that 1t was. Any
how, he was going to enforce it till it was
pronounced unconstitutional, which he
did not believe would be the case.
Mr.. Fell said that he was to have a gen.
| eral conference with his deputies in New.
ark on Wednesday, and map out the work
for them aud give them their Instructions.
Further, there were test cases now being
prepared by his lawyer to decide the point
| of the constitutionallty of the law.
There would be some little delay, he
| said, in the complete enforcement Of the
law, as three Of his deputies had gone out
| of Office at the expiration of their terms
and the new men that had baen appointed
were not yet familiar with their duties.
! 1t would take some nttle time Tor them to
| get posted and know just what they
| should do.
Mr.. Fell reDeated that the law was on
the statute books, and as an officer Of
the State. he had 40 right to give any
opinion regarding 1t. but would do his
best to enforce it. He fully believed that
all the manufacturers OF New Jersey
when they found out that the department
was in earnest in enforcing the law, would
obey it. He had always found them will
ing TO comply with all the laws and regu.
lations laid down for their guidance.
Mr.. Fell said that an impression had
| gone abroad that because there were
cases now being prepared to test the con-
stitutionality of the law nothing could be
| done in the meantime. This was a griey-
GUS error, as those that were violating the
law would find out to their cost. The
| department did not propose to let ND on
the mater and would proceed against all
persons found violating the provisions of
the law. His deputies would be directed
to take action against any and all persons
who were violating the law where they
q any proof of the matter either from
their own personal obser Walton or where
reliable Information had been lodged
against the parties.

set. Rallies were sharp and long con-
tinued, and games alternated until five

out on good volleying. Us. The second
set was a repetition Of the first, except that
Hall ran the set out after five all had been
again scored. Wrenn had comparatively
easy work of it in the third set and won
6-1. on superior all round play. 1t was
meek or nothing" with Hall in the
fourth set. and he only won by a short
neck, Us, although the score was at one
time "a agi inst him. Sets were now
two all. with both players strainipg every
nerve. Again did Wrenn have the lead,
4-2. and again did Hall steadily pull out
The set and match. This defeat retired
Wrenn and left the finals between Stevens
and Hall.

of eall. and doing it with the increased
confidence born Of Saturdays success.
He took the first two sets, 6-3 aud GA,
hut came very near to losing the third,
Hall having the lead at 6-5 and 70.
