STRIKERS DEFIANT.
Committee of WeayerS Says
Men Arc Not Returning
to Work.
Claim That All Will Go Back at Old
Scale of Wages if Manager
Gambrill is Removed by
Delaware Cotton Co.

According to the committee of the
striking weavers, the situation Of affairs
at Delaware Cotton Mills is unchanged
and the strike is still on.
The committee gave out the statement
yesterday that there were only five regu-
lar weavers at work. About fifteen learn
ers are working on the looms. Manager
Gambril notified the loom fxers on
Wednesday that they should go in and
weave, and that if they did not they
would lose their places.
This threat caused four loom 6xers to
go to weaving. There are said to be but
twelve looms going.
About sixty of the 125 strikers ara
working elsewhere. The strikers say they
will go back at the old prices ii Manager
Gambrill is removed. They claim that
The gears of the looms were changed by
him without their knowledge so that Ga
picks had to be made instead of 60 willie
they were still only being paid for go.
This caused them to demand more
money even fort GO picks. They claim
that they are now afraid to trust Man-
ager Gambrill, and fear he will keep cut
ting down their wages continually.

Deeciye McVey Brought Him Here at 57 O'clock This Morn

Not Fear the Result of His Actions

DIR. Howard M. Wilkinson of Dover,
who eloped with his wife's sister Miss
Josephine Packard, slept last night in
a cell at the City Hall in this city. Worn
out by twenty-four hours travel, the
centre of one of Delaware's greatest sem
sations arrived in Wilmington at 1.57
O'Clock this morning accompanied by
State Detective Bernard ]. McVev. They
left Atlanta, Ca, at midnight Wednes-
day.
81 am here to face whatever may be
the result" said DIR. Wilkinson on his
arrival at the City Hall this morning
Il did not fight the requisition papers
brought to Atlanta by Detective Nc
Vey, on the contrary begged to come to
Delaware,
mo, / do not dread going back to

DIR. Wilkinson declares that many OF
the newspaper reports have misquoted
him. In fact he says that he did not
give out any statement while in Atlanta.
He is particularly bitter against the
Philadelphia North American which

of Mrs Ebert G. Packard, the m 'ther oi

COUNCIL WILL NOT
HEREAFTER PAY
PLUMBING INSPECTOR
Positive Action Was Taken at
Last Nights Meeting
by City Council.
A SCHEME TO SAVE $1,000
Salary in Their Appropria-
tion for the Fiscal Year.
Have an Opinion From
the City Solicitor to
Back Them Up.

City Council took another step last
Sewer Directors over receipts from
various sources, when it decided to no
longer pay the salary of Plumbing In
spector Edward +. Kane. on the ground
that the Street and Sewer Directors
should pay his salary. This will mean
Il saving to the City Council Of $500 a
year.
James Kane, chairman of the Finance
Committee 1T last nights meeting Of
Council presented the following opin-
ion which he had received from City
Solicitor Conrad:
Dear Sir:-The General Assembly
of this State by an amendment to the
City Charter, passed at Dover, April
%, 1889, authorized and empowered the
Council by ordinance to adopt and pro-
mulgate suitable rules and regulations
for the construction of house drainage
and cesspoolS. and to provide for the
registration of plumbers and persons en-
gagged in the plumbing business in the
City of Wilmington. 1t further provided
that the Council should establish Il sys-
TEN of inspection and supervision over
all house drainage and cesSpools, and
appoint such inspector as may, be neces-
Sary.
THE Council in pursuance of this
authority passed an ordinance on June
3, 1889, entitled An ordinance to create
plumbing inspector for the City of
Wilmington and to provide rules and
regulations relative to plumbing and
drainage. The ordinance provided for
the inspector to be elected in May 1889,
and to receive salary of $500 year.
Edward +. Kane was subsequently
elected plumbing inspector by the COun-
oil for Il term of three years.
Under date Of May 10, 1891 the Cen
eral Assembly amended the Act passed
April 20, 1889 and thereby transferred
al matters relating to plumbing inspec-
ton and regulation to the Board of Di-
rectorS of the Street and Sewer De-
pertinent giving to the latter department
the authority to appoint the plumbing
Inspector, and providing expressly that
said department should make provis-
ions for the payment of his salary and
such compensation as may he approved
by the Council. On May 81, 1892 the
Board of Directors of the Street and
Sewer Department elected Edward +.
| Kane plumbing inspector without Speci-
| fying for what term he was elected
my understanding is that he has served
from that time to the present without
heing reelected.
Il have given the matter careful at
tention and am convinced that the salary
of the plumbing Inspector should be paid
by the Board of Directors of the Street
and Sewer Department, and that the
| Council is under no legal obligations ia
pay the same. The Act of May 10, 1891
expressly takes away from the Counci
the whole matter of house drainage anC
plumbing inspection and clearly puts tn,
burden of the same upon the Board OF
Directors of the Street and Sewer De
partment: the wording of the Act being
{, that the Board of Directors of tn,
Street and Sewer Department shall zap
