THERE WAS NO STRIKE.
SOME OF THE oLAZERS At THE
FORD WORKS

QUIT YESTERDAY AND THE 70
LICE WE'RE CALLED OUT THIS
MORNING TO SEE THAT THEY
CAUSED NO TROUBLE.
Rumors were flying about the
town last evening that there had been
a strike among the glazers at the Ford
Morocco Company's big plant at Sill
verbrook, and chat the police had been
called out.
1t was ascertained this morning that
four men had been arrested. but that
they were released at Mr.. Ford's re-
quest. An inquiry at the Ford office
at noon to-day developed the fact that
some of the men who had quit yester-
day had cOngregated at the Lancaster
avenue, bridge this morning, and in or
der to forestall any move made by The
men toward stopping the others who
had taken their places the police were
summoned and scattered the crowd.
The little trouble arose over some
glazeTs quitting yesterday. At noon
to-day there was no semblance Of
strike or any difficulty whatever. The
only kick among the men there SEEM
ed to be in the shape CT a football
which crowd of the workmen were
driving back and forth in an adjacent
lot.
To an Evening Journal reporter Mr..
Ford said this afternoon, in answer to
an inquiry as to The cause of the
trouble
Il could not dignity it by calling it
a strike. Out OF zoo hands less than 80
Went out at noon without assigning
any reason whatever.
we took no exception to that, but
when they congregated around the
works this morning in a body, l de-
cided' that | would not tolerate any
such action which savored Of intimida-
ton of the other laborers who were in
no wise disconnected
Il therefore called up police head
quarters and asked them to detail
few officers. which they did. Upon the
| arrival of the policemen the men inn
mediately ran away around the hills
We shall have no further trouble, as
all the others are perfectly satisfied
These people came back this morning
with the confident intention of being
rdeinstated, but we would not have
them, not caring to have discomfort
ed element working in our factory, and
particularly people who assign no rea-
son for their action.

GETTING OFF A CAR.
MOST WOMEN DO 1T IN AN AWK-
WARD AND DANGEROUS FASH

WARD AND DANGEROUS FASH
ION.
Yesterday afternoon an Evening
Journal reporter was riding on a Della
ware avenue trolley car. In it were
several women, young and old, pretty
and plain, well-dressed and poorly
dressed. Most Of them were bound for
the Grand Opera House to see the
matinee. When the car stopped at
that point the women filed out and the
reporter noticed a thing which struck
him 50 forcibly that ne remarked to
the conductor:
"All Of those women got off back
wards"
They always do" was the reply
"Of all the women who ride on my car
have but two who know how to get
of a car. Those two always take hold
of the hand-rail and step off with face
toward the way in which the car is
going. 1t is a wonder to me that
women, encumbered with skirts as
they are, cannot see the danger they
run by stepping off with their backs
to the mOtOrman. But if you were a
conductor on a car running in a resi-
Dental section you would remark
many things concerning women which
are even more singular that that-but
I suppose it is the same in every city"

And now someone is objecting be-
cause City Council gave the officers OF
the gunboat Wilmington dinner at
the public expense. Some Of these fell
lows must live by running a lunch
route. City Councils great fault was in
making such a spectacle Of itself be-
fore It gave the dinner. Or rather,
some Of its members made spectacles Of
themselves. We presume that the
hungry citizen" who writes to the
Morning News always expects his
guests to bring their food with them.

back as follows from Dyea: ''If

circumstances stay at home and
come in the spring. 1 know abso-

conclusion" And he concludes
his letter with this unmistakable
