One of his ankles was dislocated. pr. Brown, a negro physician, attended him and had to take three stitches in the cut across the eye After having his wounds dressed the general was sent home in an ambulance.
 When asked how he was hurt Jackson said that MT. Tom Parker had whipped him at the Lynn iron works. Those who came with him said that Jackson had driven team into the yard of the iron works and was ordered out on account of his impudence. That MT. Par ker started to run him out when the negro fell from his seat In the wagon and the vehicle ran over him.

PAINE AGAIN ST THE WAR
The Massachusetts Nominee Says Otis
 Should Be Ousted

Boston, Mass, September 21.-Robert Paine, Jr., who was nominated for gover- nor by the democratic state convention to- day says:
 We do not believe in and have no part in the fighting in the Philippine jungle or in the hunting down of those brown men. It is President Mckinley who is wagins that war and on him the responsibility will rest. President Mckinley has a propensity to blunder. Think of an Alger picked out of all the manhood in this country to con trol our army Think of an Eagan to be it's commissary. Think of Shafter lying on his cot three miles from the battlefield at Santiago when General Miles arrived in time to stem the tide.
 "I put this question to you: If it re- auired fourteen months for an indignant people to force the president to remove AL ger, how long shall we have to endure an Otis?
 ''I ask for no vote from any man I bid you go back to your homes and if you think the principles of our nation are put in danger by this war or in danger from this attempt to subjugate people who are giving their lives for liberty, then oganize and arouse your friends, appeal to the con science of your neighbors."

WORK PLENTIFUL
 BUT WAGES POOR Industrial Commission Hears
 from ShoemakerS. DUTY ON HIDES lNIQUIT0US
Shoe Business Needs Protection. But as Arranged the Tariff Disoriminates
 Against American Manufact- urefs = Exclusion.

Washington. September 2t.-The indus trial commission resumed its hearing to- day. Horace M. Eaton. general secretary and treausrer of the Boot and Shoe Work CTS Union of America, speaking of condi- tions in that trade said work was plenti- ful. but wages were poor.
 Eleven years ago he was able to earn from SIS to $35 a week al lasting shoes; now he could not earn more than Sl5.
 He said the shoe trade, regardless of party, regarded the duty on hides as in- iquitous. They did not regard free hides inmical to the interests of the farmer. They regarded q14des as a b-product, the duty on which benefited the packer and not the farmer.
 ''The shoe business" fe said. needs pro- lection. We are able to produce shoes in competition with the world. We can un- dersell the English in their home markets. But as arranged the tariff disoriminates against American manufacturers. The duty on hides is b per cent. But when the hides are tanned and exported the duty is re5ated. That Is to the interest of the for eign manufacturer"
 With the improvements in machinery the present number of plants, he said. it was necessary to supply the consumption, which be manufactured in four months The prices of shoes had declined This was not only due to improvement in machinery and less labor costs but to improvement in tanning processes. If the shoe manu- facturers went into a trust many of the shoe plants would shut down and the labor CTS thus thrown out of employment would be compelled to bid against the others. A shoe trust would be injurious to labor by decreasing employment.
 Speaking of the change which had taken place since the introduction of machinery, MT. Eaton said the conditions of the work men could not be compared with the old days and it was growing better. Conditions could be improved by the establishment of stable prices for the manufacturers Some legislation was necessary.
 William H. Allen, of Brooklyn, a mem Der of the Knights of Labor favored ex- clusion of immigration, claiming that for eigners took out of the country sl1S,OoO 900 each year.

NJ SETTLEMENT OF.
 CARPENTERS STRIKE
Contractors Give Their Side of the Case in a Sign
 ed Card.

The contractors and carpenters have as yet reached no agreement. Another long conference was held last night at tne Flor ence hotel. but no definite action was taken. After four hours of discussion the con ference adjourned with no prospect of an early settlement of the trouble.
 The carpenters refuse to yield anything further tqlan their original proposition. and the contractors are equally as firm.
 Shortly after the meeting last night a committee from the Builders and Traders Exchange gave out the following state- ment:
 ''The contractors and builders connected with the Builders and Traders Exchange of this city have so far refrained from any publication of their side of the situation caused toy the present strike of the Car penters' and Joiners' union. They have eRdeavored to settle all differences amica- bly, and to the best interests of all com cerned. The peremptory demand made by the Carpenters and Joiners' union, to be effective September Is, was rejected by the contractors because 1t was considered as a retaia tory measure of the Carpenters and Joiners union for the modifcat ton of scale which was submitted on September 6. The continued efforts of the contractors for settlement ~fnally resulted in joint meeting of committees appointed by both sides. These committees met in joint ses- sion on Wednesday evening at o'clock and again at 7:3O o'clock last night The latter meeting was in session at the Mec- ris hotel until 11:45. and was finally com pe'led to adjourn without coming co an agreement.
 The demand of the Carpenters and Join- CTS Union on September 6 was for nine hours to constitute days work, with same pay as formerly paid for ten hours a day. At the committee meeting last night the contractors agreed to sign a scale on this basis but the committee from the Carpen- ters and Joiners Union refused to accept this proposition. After continuous ses- sion of over four hours the meeting was compelled to adjourn without making any agreement. We desire to state that We are making no fight against any labor organi- zation, but wish to employ them on just and equitable basis, and want their CO., operation and good will.

 Committee. Enough contractirs have signed the scale to give three-fourths of the carpenters em- ploycnent, and they have gone back to work. No more than one hundred men are now idle.
 The carpenters say that they will here after boycott one or two stores, the pro- prietors of which have been employing "scab' labor to complete their buildings. Applications for membership to the union continue to come to the carpenters head quarters, and new men are being initiated every day.
