RECEIVE THEIR PAY.
Striking Moulders Line Up
For Weekly Allow
ance.

Labor headquarters contained 81
striking moulders at 7.SO o'clock last
evening, when Secretary w. o. Porter
of the Moulders' Union placed table
at the head of the main hall and called
upon the men to form in line and re-
ceive their strike allowance.
Over $400 was used, and when the last
man had received his coin, three rous-
ing cheers were given for the union
and its sound treasury. An officer of
the union said to a Spy man who wit
messed the unusual spectacle of seeing
unemployed men drawing respectable
wages: "The Moulders' Union and the
national organization behind it has a
treasury powerful enough to keep the
strikers here In idleness for months,
but at the rate the men are being en-
ployed, there will soon be none of the
strikers unemployed"
Last week SO men were benefited by
the strike allowance, showing that dur
ing the week 26 strikers have obtained
work. These figures do not include
the union men who deserted and re-
turned to work in Rice, Barton &
Fales' foundry.
DuSar b. Pierce, VINO is SalQ TO nave
telegram to Worcester claiming mem
bership in the National Founders AS
ISOLATION, and entitled thereby to ar
bitration privileges, did not return to
his home from Pittsburg last night, and
it was said that he would probably not
arrive until Tuesday. J. P. F. Frey
of the arbitration board has received
no notification from the National Foun-
ders' Association concerning Mr..
Pierces alleged membership.
James E. Roach worked hard yester-
day morning to effect an agreement be-
tween the non-union founders and the
moulders, but without result. Yester-
day afternoon 1t was reported that
William Allen g. Sons had agreed to
the demands of the union, but office
employees of the firm said that the
statement was absolutely without
foundation. They did not deny the
report that Mr.. Roach had conversed
with members of the firm relative to a
settlement. 1t is understood that the
Allen firm is partially willing to sub
init. To them the abolition of piece
work is unpopular. The firm makes a
speciality of getting out rush orders
and would have to lose the major part
of these orders if the full demands OF
the union were conceded.
The fourth week of the moulders
strike will begin tomorrow, and the
week will be ushered in under favorable
auspices, as Daniel White of Boston
ex-vice president of the Iron Moulders
Union of America, has assured the
strikers that he will be present.

Wesleyan came next with Is la, and
Dartmouth had to content itself with
A. NJ. L T., which was regarded as a
strong team before the games, wound
up with II.

nouneed itself as content if it scored,

Tech and Tufts. whose representations
were small, didn't score. Three field
records were broken.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee was necessary to settle the victory.
dispute arose over the pole vault
Hurlburt of Wesleyan won the event
with a jump of 10 feet 6 inches Three
men, Wilder of Dartmouth, Clark of
Bowdoin and Squires of Williams, were
tied at 10 feet.
1t was the last event on the card.
and the score stood 21 to 20 in Will
liams' favor. The referee, H. A.
Adams, was appealed to, Clark insist
ing on jumping off the tie instead of di-
viding the points The referee ordered
jump-off. Wilder withdrew. Clark
beat out Squires by a vault of 9 feet
9 inches, Squires going 9 feet s inches.
The executive committee decided late
last evening to abide by the decision of
the. referee.
Bowdoins victory proved a popular
one, partly from the fact that the
team was not considered when fore
casts were made before the games,
and partly in recognition Of the excel
lent work Of the college, which is one
of the youngest members Of the asSa-
citation. Williams was first choice he
fore the games, and appeared TO have
a sure thing until Potter, the star
hurdler made fatal mistake in His
trial heat. He lost his stride coming
to the seventh hurdle. and ran outside
on the grass, for which he was dis
qualified. Potter had an easy win in
the event, if he had reached the final
His team thus lost certain FIVE
points.
Bowdoin met with a mishap which
would have kept that team in the race
even if Potter had won the hurdles.

Thirteen proved an unlucky number
for Williams yesterday, and a lucky
one for Bowdoin.
It was the 18th annual meet of the
New England Intercollegiate Athletic
Association at the oval yesterday after
noon. The 18th meet was hoodoo for
Williams.
That team was generally picked for
the winner before the games. But 1S

black "B" on their white shirt fronts

the points were footed up, the Bowdoin
lads pulled the victory away from their

ESCAPES FROM HOME FARM.
Insane Man Slides Down ImprOvised Rope From
Second story Window to the Ground.

Isaac f. Upham, an insane patient

institution Friday night in the old

clothes and making a rope by which
he slid down to the ground from a sec

city for Foxboro, where he lived for

pleasure of Journeymen Plumbers Union

The committee from the Journeymen
Plumbers Union, in whose charge the
case of Proprietor Jacques of the
Brunswick Hotel was placed, held its
final meeting last evening, and the ban
was lifted.
The committee visited the hotel yes
terday. at the request Of the proprietor,

Tacoues assured the committee that he
rad no intention of hiring non-union
men. and that he had hired Ashley &

Jacoues employed union men yesterday

Ashley & Horan. and tomorrow the job
will be begun with union men. The
