Of putting metal sidings ON houses. Tho three
unions claimed the work and the dispute was
referred to the board. which decided that the

for eight hours work.
None Of the unions was satisfied with this do,

Assembly 2o3, and e~nlisting tho Assembly on
its side It had the Cornico and SkyEght Makers'

the decision Of the board.
This brings the board and d. A. 1853 into an
tagonism. The delegates in tho board who are
not Knights arc very indignant, and the result
may be two boards, one representing Knights Of
Labor unions and the other open unions.

OF the Hudson County FroehoIdera.
Tho trial Of tho quo warranto proceedings
brought by Arthur W. Clayton to GUST William
Green from the dictatorship of the Hudson
county Board Of Freeholders was begun in Jer-
sey City yesterday before Supreme Court JUS
tioe Lippincott and q struck jury. Allan L. Mo
Dermott and William II. Corbin' appeared for
Green's and F1avel MCGEE and Leon Abbott
for Clayton. Tho board organized on Doc. 2,
1895. and through q deal between some of the
Republicans and some of tho Democrats. Clayton
was elected director for q term of two years.
Clayton at once began to organize a combine Of
which he was to be the boss. The Republican
and Democratic leaders promptly checkmated
his plan by organizing a new combine.
AT the next and subsequent meetings Director
declared resolutions out of order. and refused to
entertain any appeal from his decisions. When
the :" combine began TO crowd him too hard he
declared the meeting adjourned although twenty
Of the twenty-seven members had voted against
adjournment. The combine" removed him
from the dictatorship and elected Green in his
place. They contended that they had tho right
to do that under n statute which provides that
In case of absence or the refusal of the director
to perform his duties another director may be
elected. Clayton contends that he was elected
for q f1xed term Of two years and the board had
no legal right to remove him. Justice Lppin-
colt denied q motion for n non-suit and tho case
will go to the jury to-day.
