large Part OF Their Wages.
When the investigation OF the Spencer Opti-
cal Company's strike was resumed In Newark
yesterday before the New Jersey Board Of
Arbitration, the proceedings were enlivened
by the testimony OF about a dozen gayly
dressed and pretty girls who had been en-
ployed by the company and were led to 60 out
on a strike by Lucy Decker who deserted
them shortly afterward and went back to work.
These witnesses were extremely bitter against
their inciter. but before the session was over
they had greater cause for anger against
Superintendent MeiCs for reflections cast upon
them in his testimony.
Dolly Mckiernan was the first to testify. She
said she had been repeatedly fined small
amounts. but was willing to return to work on
the terms submitted to the company. By the
men, Mamie Kenny said:

cents one day for humming After the Ball.

added that her highest earnings were $3.50 a
