ENOUGH IN 1T TO STRIKE OVER.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 20. 1S94.-Today
every tin plate plant in the United States,
with possibly one exception, will be closed
down, throwing several thousand men
idle, until the wage dispute is settled
The Morewood Tin Plate Manufacturing
Company of Elizabeth. Nj, is the ex-
ception, and it will suspend today if the
work on hand can be completed.
All the mills in this part of the coun-
try are closed, the last being the big plant
of the United States Iron and Tin Plate
Company at Demmler Station. which
suspended yesterday. Today a notice
will be posted notifying the men that
the shutdown is due to the reduction in
the tariff.
Under the new rate, the manufacturers
assert that rollers, the highest paid men,
will earn IS per day and over, and all
other skilled hands will earn so per cent
more than the same class of workers in
the British mills. The wages of the cheap
labor, the manufacturers say, will not be
disturbed by the new scale.

WHO CUT APPo9
The Green Goods Hnformer Accuses
Michael Riordan.

Michael Riordan.
NEW YORK, Sept 20, 1S94.-George
Apo, the Lexow Committee witness
against the green goods men, whose
throat was cut yesterday afternoon was
before Justice Ryan in the Tombs Police
Court this morning. Appos story is
to the effect that while in Fred Baar's
North River Hotel, at Barclay and West
streets. yesterday afternoon, with Michael
Riordan, he had a couple of drinks of
whiskey and then Riordan stabbed him.
Justice Ryan then ordered Apo to
make a complaint against Riordan,
which Apo at first declined to make,
but he finally consented to make the
complaint, which sets forth that Geo.
w. Appc, being duly sworn, says that
on September rs he was violently and
feloniously assaulted and beaten by
Michael Riordan, who violently and
feloniously cut and stabbed deponent
about the neck with a penknife then and
there held in his hand.
Riordan had nothing to say himself,
but his counsel pleaded not guilty, and
Riordan was held in default of $1,000
bail for examination in October. Before
his arraignment Riordan was taken be-
fore Appo, who exclaimed
That's the man. I was drugged.'
After Riordan- was taken away Police
man Filan made a charge of attempted
suicide against Apo. While the COM
plant in this case was being made law
yer VIM. Travers Jerome entered the
court room and held short consultation
with Apo. When the latter was ar
raigned Mr.. Jerome asked for an exam
ination. Appo was held in default of
$500 for examination on October 20.

WANT TO LIFT THE STAY.
Republicans Eager 40 Hold the Eiec
lion Under the New Lines.

Justice Lippincott this morning heard
an application to lift the stay which
operates under the writ of certiorari
granted against the Ward Line Commits
sioners. Corporation Counsel John A.
Blair made the request for the order.
He referred to the decision in the New
airy case, which he claimed had settled
the constitutionality of the act under
which the commissioners were appointed
Ex-Judge Abel I. Smith, for the City
of Hoboken, resisted the lifting of the
stay, because an election under the new
Freeholders Act by wards would virtu-
ally decide the certiorari proceedings
now before the courts, and any relief
to which Hoboken would be entitled
would be defeated by such an operation.
Hoboken, he said, contends that the new
Freeholders act and the act appointing
the Ward Line Commissioners unconsti-
tutional, and if the new Board of Free
holders is elected this fall under these
the question raised by the certiorari pro-
ceedings.
Ex-senator Edwards for those who
Instituted the certiorari case opposed the
vacation of the stay The Newark case,
re argued, COGS not dIIecC tne Jersey
City question. The city, he said, hac
already bone ahead preparing for the
election under the old ward lines In the
case of Newark the questions differ
materially from those raised in the Jer
sey City case. The most important point
is that an equitable division had not been
made by the Ward Line Commissioners.
In Newark the wards are contiguous and
based on population, he said. but in Jer-
sey City the case is different. The divi-
sions are anything but equitable.
Judge Blair in reply contended that
the insistment that the divisions were not
equitable was a pretext to ask the Court
to compel the holding of the election
under the old laws; as the two "astute"
young Democrats on the commission
should have taken care of that.
Mr.. w. D.Edwards replied that the two
Democrats had refused to sign the re-
port.
The Court withheld decision until Mon
day.

ROPER IN JAIL.



Osman w. Roper, Pooh Bah of the
swindling Mutual Land and Building
Syndicate of No. At Montgomery street,
is locked up in the Hudson County Jail
because he cannot find a bondsman
A few weeks ago he was held by Justice
Potts for conspiracy to defraud and his
bond was fixed at $4,000. His counsel,
ex-Judge r. B. Seymour scurried about
and found Mr.. Albert Datz, who became
his surety. But when the County Off
cials examined the nature of Mr. Datz's
realty they found that his $8,000house had
a $4,000 mortgage on it leaving $1,000
to realize upon in case Mr.. o. w. Roper
should skip. This margin was not deem
ed sufficient, and Mr.. Datzs bond was
rejected Roper was then re-arrested
and now is behind the bars.
He is in good company, because in the
same room there are the four murderers,
Mahaffey, GEM, Bull and McLaren.
But the General Manager, Trustee,
Secretary and Treasurer of the swindling
syndicate will have nothing to say to
them and they look upon him as sort
of Jail snob. He was even ungrateful
enough to refuse to speak to a News"
reporter this morning, who called on
him to seek an interview.
Roper's trial will take place in October.
In the meantime Judge Hudspeth will

ter's Court wher a score of judgments

Kicking at Thefr Taxes.

Before the Supreme Court this morn
ing in New York the lawyers of the shild-
rem of the late Jay Gould asked for an
order requiring the Commissioner OF
Taxes and Assessments to show cause
why the assessments on the Gould prop
erty should not be cancelled.
Their personal property in New York
City was assessed at ten millions. The
Goulds claim that the office of the estate
is in Tarrytown, where the property has
already been taxed. The Commissioner
refused to vacate the assessments and
certiorari proceedings were begun.
George and Edwin have both made
affidavits asserting that the estate has
been taxed nj Tarrytown and the assess
ment in the County and City of New
York is unjust

RBFoRMERs IN WEST HoBOKEN.
Mcssrs Record and GarrIck Address
an Enthusiastic Meeting.

an Enthusiastic Meeting.
A meeting of about two hundred and
fifty Democrats assembled last night at
Frech,s Casino, West Hoboken. to hear
the new enrolment and primary scheme
explained The speakers of the evening
were candidate for Congress, George L..
Record; for County Clerk, A. Philip
Hexamer, and for Register, John Gar
rick.
Benjamin Day. a prominent Democrat
of West Hoboken, presided, and com
rnended the new scheme heartily to the
attention of the citizens, and asked their
careful consideration of it's merits, pre-
dieting that when once the scheme had
been fairly tried it would never be aban-
doned in the future.
Candidate for Congress GeEge L. Rec
ord was the first speaker, and occupied
about an hour in fully presenting in de-
tail the new primary plan with its pre-
yious enrolment, and the safety that
/, its known members participate in the
primary elections. The fairness of the
open primary for nomination., the speak
er stated, was beyond question. He
= favored a change in the leadership OF
81 the Democrats party, referring to the
q baclSwcods state of municipal improve
ments in Hudson county, and particular
ly to the bad roads in the West Hoboken
section He contended that the monop-
oily privileges granted away to the cor
porations of this county were sufficiently
valuable to cover the county with good
roads in every direction. At present,
rich men will not come to Hudson
county to establish a business, because
there is no opportunity for them to en-
ioy their wealth, and the county thereby
loses many industries which would other
wise be brought within its limits.
The speaker referred to the impossi-
pility Of obtaining two cent ferry bill,
which would greatly benefit the masses
of laboring people in Hudson county.
He declared that this was because ma
chine politics had developed in both
parties, class of men who owed no
real allegiance to their party, but who
used their power to make money for
themselves. The corporations bought the
influence of these men in one way or an
other, and thus secured for trfding sums
monopoly privileges Of vast value.
