THING WITH \ DIFFICULT PROBLEM
The subject of the water supply came up again at
the meeting OF the Water Department Of the Newark
Board OF Works yesterday. when 81 II. Sherrerd.
the engineer asked for assistance in surveying
the watersheds. He also suggested that vault be
built for the reception Of maps and data. President
Van Duyne remarked that the engineer should do
more outside work. and II necessary he should have
more help. Mr.. Van Duyne suggested that copies
OF all maps should be made and kept In the vault AT
the city Hall Commissioner Stansby said he was
opposed to giving added power TO engineers or any
other officials. Mr. Van Duyne said It was Of i'm
portancc for Newark to know definitely the cond-
ton and capacity OF the watershed. As some work
had already been done In that line. he was In favor
of continuing IT. The engineer said that the work
could be performed in month with n corps Of
four men. Mr.. Van Duync moved that the commit
recommend to the Board that the engineer he en-
powered 10 make necessary surveys and measure
ments and to engage additional help. The question

producers when he says: There is no
middle ground on which labor and
non-producing. speculating capitalists
can ever meet in harmony and friend
ship. The one class is the mortal foe
of the other. Since the dawn of civil
ization these two elements have main
tanned in one form or another one un-
brokea chain of hostility toward each
other. -
Mr.. Sovereign's picture Of the con-
centrated efforts the corporationists
are making to force their employees to
vote for Mckinley is not overdrawn.
On this point he says: .sThe money
power, in its desperation TO conquer
the people. is now closely canvasing
the employees of great corporations aud
an implied threat of discharge is inn
posed on employees il they dare support
the free coinage of silver. They pay
employees in silver and then taunt them
with the ridiculous cry about 50-cent
dollars, but they never pay of in gold.
for they know there is not enough
gold in the country to pay of the la
boring people for a single month If
they were all working at a dollar
day. It would require the entire gold
production OF this country for space
of more than ten years to pay of our
90. 900, 900 working people for single
month If they were all working at the
present low wages"
The general master workman will
lead 100 able speakers into the field
among the workingmen Of the country
and wage forensic war against the
forces of greed and gold. He adjures
his fellow .laborers not to submit to
the bulldozing and coercive threats of
employers.
Submission TO wrong that can not
be righted," Mr.. Sovereign declares,
lis virtue, but submission to wrong
that can be righted is a crime. The
working-msn who is willing to sell
himself into slavery rather than suffer
temporary Inconvenience or incur the
displeasure of this hybrid angel of
gold and greed deserves to wear the
yoke of bondage. *. C. Times.
