CHICAGO MACHINISTS WORK
The Arbitration Of Difficulties
Is Satisfactory to Them.

CHICAGO. April 2, 19Oo.-With the blow
ing of the whistles in the machine shops
of Chicago for the beginning of work to-
day thousands of maclinists resumed the
work interrupted some weeks ago by a
strike. About half the five thousand five
hundrei men who went out resumed their
labor this morning. The manufacturers
and the lahorers said that as the differ
ences had either been settled or put on a
basis to be arbitrated. the remainder Of
the machinists would undoubtedly return
in struggling lots during the next two or
three days.
The agreement entered into recently by
representatives. of the manufacturers and
the men vas ratified yestrday at mass
meeting, the vote being 3,02s in favor OF
ratifying the modified agreement and 336
against it, The strike has cost the men
half a million dollars in salaries, while
the loss to the manufacturers through in
ability to complete contracts cannot be
readily calculated. The men have been
granted a nine hours day with ten hours
pay.
Fifty thousand members of the Buid-
ing Trades Council learned that the fellow
workmen in another trade had gone back
to work with feelings of envy. BY reason
of strikes and loekoutS they have been
out for over a month, yet the settlement
of the trouble between them and the con-
tractors seem as far away as ever.

PATRICK CONDON DEAD.
Well Known Contractor Was
Taken Ill in Church
Yesterday.

The many friends of Street Inspector
Patrick ]. Condor. will be grieved to hear
of his death this morning at half-past
eleven at his residence, No. S25 Mont
gomery street. Mr. Condor was taken
suddenly i'll in St. Bridget's Roman
Catholic Church at the nine o'clock mass
yesterday morning. He left the church
before the conclusion of the services and
walked to his home a block from the
church. Upon entering the house he COM
planned of being Ill. He rested, quietly.
until four O'Clock in the afternoon, when
he said that he felt worse and a physician
was summoned.
From that hour his condition became
more serious until II 80 o'clock this morn
ing, when he passed away. His death was
attributed to heart disease. For the past
month he has not been well. He had an
attack of grip, from which he recovered
sufficiently to attend to his duties. He
then complained of an attack of indi-
gestion, which he said was very severe,
but for the past few days he seemed to
be in his usual health. When he left
to attend church Mr.. Condor was in the
best of spirits and seemed to be much
better than he had been in month.
Patrick Condor was born in Ireland 81
years ago and came to this country when
he. was but five years of age. His father
was the late Garret Condor, who was
widely known in this county as a con-
tractor. He built the reservoir now used
by this city The Inspector followed in
the footsteps of his father, and was one
of the best known contractors in the
country. Among the many contracts COM
pleted by him were the. erection of St.
Bridgets Church and the Young Mems
Lyceum of this city, the Boston water
works, the large sewer through the town
of Summit and the Morristown Asylum.
He also built in New Haven, Conn, and
numerous other cities. He was a member
of the knights of Columbus, Chosen
Friends Robert Davis Association and the
Exempt Firemen's Association. The ar
rangements for the funeral will be given
in s'The News in a few days.

SERVANTS SAVINGS.
Serious Charges Made In
Chancery Against Promi-
nent Brooklyn Man.

Ex-senator William B. Brinkerhoff, as
counsel for John DENIM, administrator
of the estate of Caroline L. Jones, de-
ceased, applied to Vice Chancellor Pitney
this morning for an order restraining
William B. Hilton of Brooklyn from with
drawing from the Provident Institution
for Savings a sum of money deposited
there. Mr.. Dennin's petition read by Mr..
Brinkerhoff disclosed curious case.
Caroline Jones for over thirty years was
a domestic in this city and vicinity, and
managed in that time to save out of her
wages of SIG or $17 per month, $1,000. She
was a woman or little or no education.
and had no knowledge of business. About
a year previous to her death she went to
live as servant in the family of Hilton,
at No. 80 Tompkins place, Brooklyn. While
there she was taken i'll, and by false rep
resentations, the petition alleges, Hilton
secured from her an order directing the
banks in this city, where her money was
deposited, to transfer the money to him.
He then deposited the amount in the
Provident Savings Institution of this city
in their joint names, with this condition
entered on the books of the bank: This
account and all monies to be credited to
us DelOnS 10 US DIS JOliit tcildileS, Will
be absolutely the property of the survi-
vor of u.s.. This was on January 10 last,
and as soon as he had made the transfer,
it is alleged Hilton had the woman taken
to ST. Peters Hospital, Brooklyn. where
she died February 5.
Accompanying the petition was an affi-
davit by Thomas Walsh, of Newark, a
nephew of Miss Jones, setting forth that
two months before his aunt died she told
him that she wanted him to have her saw
ings 1t was on Walsh's application as
next of kin and heir-at-law of the de-
ceased woman that Surrogate Lillis ap-
pointed Mr.. DENIM administrator of the
estate.
Mr.. Charles Hartshorne, who appeared
as counsel for Mr.. Hilton, said that he
was not vet ready to file an answer. as
he had only been in the case since Friday.
He also raised the point the petition did
not show that there was any compensa-
tion for the transfer.
The Chancellor delivered himself
of this opinion in his usual characteris-
tic manner:-"On the face of it and in
view Of the circumst ances the transfer
appears suspicious If 7 should induce
servant of mine to put her savings in our

SHOULD HAVE LIBERAL PAY.
Director Egbert Says Teach
ers Deserve the Pro-
posed Advance.

Discussing the increase of school teach
ers' salaries, School Director James c. Eg-
bert, Jr., said yesterday:-"I am most
heartily in favor of it. / am glad that
the measure Is to be submitted to the
people. I believe that the voters of Jersey
City will be glad to have the opportunity
of expressing their appreciation of the
work of the school teachers. Some do
not fully understand what the work of
the teachers is--what the position calls
for.
First of all, there is extensive prepara-
tion-the Grammar School course, the
High School course of four years, the
Training School course of two years.
Even after these years it is required that
a teacher be peculiarly fitted for the po-
sition before she is selected. Our method
of appointment is now based on merit.
Even after would-be teachers have fin
ished the prescribed course they have to
be tested as substitutes, and while acting
in this capacity are paid but dollar
day. This lasts for period of from
one to two years. We require the best
of training In consequence we should
pay suitable return. What is the work
five hours are given in the school room,
taking care of fifty children or more.
This is severe strain on the nervous
system. 1t is a severe mental strain,
Mr.. Egbert paused here to recite an in
cident, which he did not consider worth
while noting in his interview. He said
he knew a man who was inclined to
grumble at the pay school teachers are
receiving.
II asked him. said Mr.. Egbert, how
many children he had He answered,
Two l said to him, How would you
like to stay in the house five hours at
tending those two children?' He said, /
don't think I'd relish the job I said to
him, Multiply two by Twenty-Five and
how many children would you have to
look after?' -
The Director continued THE teacher
must make direct preparation for the
work of the class. In addition the true
teacher should engage in work which is
indirect preparation, or general education.
1t is my positive knowledge that there
are teachers in our schools who are TAX
ing a course in colleges and universities,
preparing themselves in a general way for
their work.
Jersey City cares well for its police
and fire departments. When the time
came to reduce salaries it was the school
teachers whose salaries were reduced.
Justice demands that the amount taken
from them should be, as far as possi-
BILE, restored.
.s,The graded system of payments is the
very best. 1t places before the faithful
teacher sum to work for. This will be
given her without any consideration ex-
cept that of merit.
while I hesitate to discuss the finan-
cial feature of the controversy with our
astute Financiers I cannot help but be-
lieve that any city that builds up it's
schools and maintains their excellence,
which cares properly for it's school teach
ers, will benefit and strengthen itself. 1t
will add to its good name and reputation,
and in so doing will draw to it such peo-
pie as will be in every way benefit to
the city. It's an instance of the old
Scriptural saying, 1.-THE liberal soul grow
eth fat"
