MACHINISTS LAID OFF
Harlan s. Hollingsworth Co. Machine
Shop Stopped Running at Night.

How many more are going to be laid
off is question which is being much
talked OF by the machinists employed
by the Harlan 4 Hollingsworth Com
pany. Since the strike was settled last
summer the machine shop has been run
ming night and day. Several days the
night work was stopped and out of the
twcntyfour men who had been working
1T night, seventeen were laid off. The
company claims that while there is some
work now in the shop no new work is
being contracted and that the men We're
laid off because there was not enough
work to keep them on. In speaking OF
the matter last night prominent ma
chinist said that it would not be sur
prising If large number more would
be laid off tonight. 1t is n striking fact
that nearly every man who was laid
off was among those on a strike last
spring The new men who have beer

not discharged.

city was never better represented. The
fact that Delaware College is playing
all of its home games on the Union

of the sport out in large numbers. This

the strongest game ever played by any

this is due to the efforts of Captain Hux-
ley, who has worked hard to make his

Charges.

There is some talk among several mer-
chants in Wilmington bringing the mat
ter OF the excessive telephone charges on
the part Of the Delaware and Atlantic
Telephone Company before the Board
Of Trade at the next meeting. For
some time there has been much dissatis-
faction in Wilmington over the high
charges.
No definite action has been taken but
since it became known here that the
charges in Wilmington are higher than
they are in other places the matter has
been agitated. One of the men who is
considering the advisability of bringing
the matter to the attention of the Board
of Trade said last evening that he did
not understand why the charges for
out of town or local calls in Wilmington
should be more than they are in Trenton
The Bell company has decided to
make n reduction in it's rate in Philadel
