STRIKE THREATENED AT THE RUBBER.

A strike was threatened at the Rubber shop on Wednesday and got as far as the calendering room where the trouble was started. One of the men, John McNa- mara, was discharged without seeming cause and his fellow workmen stood by him and refused to work till his wrong was lighted. This was done and all hands were at work as usual, Thursday. Had the request of the men not been granted 1t would have probably resulted in the calling of the shop. Arbitration Is better than strikes, and both the men and the company take wise step in settling any disputes in this manner.

A STATEMENT FROM REV o. o. WRIGHT

Under this head I made the following statement in THE BEE, last week: "It has come to ligbt, recently, that the dem. ocratic members have been charging at the rate of S4.50 per day, or $2 20 per visit, and 50 cents for each certificate on which the teacher draws an order for wages"
 In response to this I received a letter from J. J. Northrop, Secretary of the Board, In which he says: "If you had stopped to investigate you would have found you had misrepresented me. The bills will show the whole truth in the matter. I never charged $4 50 per day for visiting schools or 50 cents for cer- tificate and do defy you to prove it. still demand a retraction and correction in the next issue of THE BEE," etc.
 I promptly replied: "I acknowledge the Justice of your demand and I assure you that shall retract and apologize in THE BEE this week, If it Is In my power to do SO. made the statement in good faith, but should not have done so with out first going to the public records. wish to make all honorable amends for any wrong done to you or any other member of the board or anybody else in- volved iu the statement"
 out reserve that SO far as any personal knowledge of mine was concerned, other than hearsay, the statement was unwar- ranted; and humbly ask the forgive ness of the democratic members referred to.
 What, then, Is my excuse? Believing that such charges had been made I in- quired of the first and of the second SC. lectmsn, and understood from them that bills containing such charges had been presented by two of the visitors referred to, at least.
 Secretary Northrop was not one of the two, but also had reasons to tLink that he had done likewise. Whether it was right or wrong ito charge s2 25 a visit and soc for a certificate did not pretend to say. Whether 1t is right to charge 8 per visit, or g., or Sl.50 know only by hearsay. have been asked if we did not charge g every time we visit or meet, and was told 1t was the custom not to have any half days In public business.
 have been greatly annoyed by this question of the cost of superintendence am one of the six visitors who are sup posed to have received $744 99 in the year '94-'95. As a matter of fact re. ceived for services that year $61 50. I am not therefore willing to leave the mat ter open to the speculations and infer- ences of the general public.-[O. o. Wright.
 F. s.: Since writing the above have examined some of the bills and accounts of the town, and have verified my origi- nal statement except In one or two points. I did not And that J. J. Northrop had charged $2.25 per visit, but the following item appears in his bill on the day book 1896. ''Oct. l. 3 Certificates for Sandy Hook $1.O0."-[O. O.. W.
