ASK DoD'S REMOVAL.
Central Labor Union Petitions Cow
enor Voorhees,.


The Hudson County Central Labor
Union will petition Governor VOORHEES, for
the removal from office of Factory In
spector William Dod, who failed to take
action against the unsanitary bakeshop
of M. Mason in this city. Resolutions TO
that effect were adopted at the meeting
of the union in Hoboken last night after
the presentment of the Grand Jury in con-
nection with the matter had been read
The resolutions proclaim bod to be antag-
onistlc to organized labor and the Cover
nor will be requested to have him de-
posed for that reason.
Communications were received from
Congressman Allan McDermott and Arch
itect j. X Taylor in connection with the
government bakeshop on Ellis Island,
about which the union has complained.
The architects contention that the shop
is sanitary in every respect is disputed by
the union, and it was agreed to lay the
matter over for further investigation.
The affiliation of the Hoboken Innkeep-
ers' Protective Association on a reciproc-
ity basis with the union was formally am
nounced. The association agrees to use
none other than Union labelled goods in
The future in consideration for the union S
terms of the compact.
Al report was received from the painr-
er's union that non-unon workmen We're
being employed by the West Hoboken au-
thorities to work on the new hospital in
the course of erection there The secre-
tary was instructed to communicate with
Mayor Bergkamp in connection with the
matter.

FROM HERE TO THE PACIFIC.

A good sized audience enjoyed an

STRIKE EXTENDED
Labor Unions Of Newark and
Elizabeth Help Barnes
Workers.
MANY JOBS AFFECTED
All Contractors Using Ma.
terial From the Mill Have
to Shut Up Shop.
MANY JOBS AFFECTED

The fight against the Barnes Manufac-
turing Company, whose employees are out
on strike because of a change from nine
to ten hours in the hour schedule will
be carried outside of this county Wher-
ever material from the boycotted mill is
used and the Building Trades Council of
this county has utilization, union mechan-
les will refuse to work on the obis
Business Agent Conroy of the Building
Trades Council and Odell of the Carpen-
ters this morning decided to call on the
affiliated building industries of Newark
and Elizabeth to aid them in the mill
workers fight and there is no doubt that
their request will, be complied with and
all jobs in either cities where Barnes ma
terial is used will be tied up.
The agents declared unfair the obi of
Alex. Weir at Park avenue and Ninth
street, Hoboken, this morning, and no al
lied industry will be allowed to work on it
hereafter.
The agents are simply obeying the man
date of the Building Trades Council, al
though it must affect contractors who
do not use Barnes stuff as well as those
who do. The slogan is now, win at any
COST
Today the agents will withdraw all men
from the shop of John Mitchell, painting
contractor, of Sixth street, Jersey City,
on the grounds that he is the owner of
a building in course of construction on
which Barnes's material is being used.
Mitchell, who does great deal of work
for the Pennsylvania Railroad, employs
only union painters.
The union plumbers employed by Wer-
ner Brothers on the building being erect
ed by Kessler & Schmidt on Bowers
street, near the Boulevard, Jersey City
Heights, have been withdrawn in support
of the mill wood workers. Barnes &
Company's material is being used in the
building. and If the plumbing contrac-
tors hire other than union men their shop
will be declared unfair
All the jobs hitherto struck in the in
terests of the mill workers remain tied
up, and in view of this fact the claim of
the Barnes people. that the strike is at
an end seems ridiculous
At last nights meeting of the Operative
Plasterers of Jersey City Heights, $50
was donated to the boys who went out
in sympathy with the Barnes mill work
ers. Plumbers Union, No. a. of Jersey
City, donated s25 to the same fund. The
majority, of these boys were receiving 81
a a,week, and the strikers claim that men
have been engaged in their places at s1.75
a day each.
Business Agent Odell of the Carpenters
District Council, with which the striking
mill workers areaffiliated, intends that no
stone shall be left unturned to win the
strike. In this he is receiving the full
support of Business Agent Conroy of the
Building Trades Council.

TO PROTECT PLAYERS
No Prizes Will Be Awarded
at st. Patrick's Euchre
All Will Draw.

The exclusive announcement in "The
News last night of the stand taken by
the Rev. L. C. NJ. Carroll and his joint
committee of St Patr.ck's Catholic Club
relative to the fraud practiced at the big
parish euchres by an organized band Of
men and women, has created a large
amount of talk in the various parishes
This exposure of the unfair methods of
capturing prizes by Throwing games
and using punches, will be the means oe
putting future euchre committees on their
guard and cause them 20 adopt measures
to protect the real prize winners
Father Carroll has taken the iniative in
| the plan of working much needed reform
in this line. His broad statements mace
at recent meeting of the euchre com
mlttee We're Enthusiastically plain, and he
gave the members to understand that ne
knew unfair means were frequently re-
sorted to to take away the best PRICES
The pastor suggested radical plans under
which the next parish euehre will be con-
Quoted on Easter Monday night in the
Jersey City Club house and these were
| adopted.
Father Carroll said that to guard
against the perpetrators of shady tricks.
the players would not contest for prizes.
Instead, those who came to the euchre
will be allowed to draw for the donations,
and then there could be no possible
chance of cheating. Under this system all
who participated at the event have
chance at the prizes. Heretofore there
were many who were preeluded from
| playing because of arriving too late or
owing to the crowded state of the hail.
The contention to support this new plan
is that most players go for the dance
and therefore but five games will be
played. Nothing depends on the games,
| however; they will simply be to pass
away the time for an hour or SO.
A member OF St. Patrick's COMMITTEES
told reporter today that the members
knew of several people who made it q.
practice to use a punch at euchres. At
one of st. Patricks recent euchres some
! of the committee used punch that left
round hole in the players cards, but
other holes the shape of stars were dis
covered when the cards were taken up.
The matter was passed over lightly at the
time and no comments were made as
there was not sufficient proof to charge
the guilty ones with attempting to de-
fraud the real winners. Names Of many
players are in the hands of the commit
tee. but as there will be no chance fer
crooked work at the coming euchre. these
suspects will not be interfered with It Is
said that women are the most hagranr
offenders at throwing games to the '.op-
ponents."
This move on the part of Father Cars
roll will doubtless lead other parishes to
adopt some means of protecting players
in the future. Should the scheme of
drawing for prizes prove successful other
parishes are likely to follow suit.

CRAG|N OPPOSED.
P. R. R. Objects to the Syn
dicate's Plans as Injuri-
GUS to Their Pro-
jects.

Before the. New York Harbor Line
Board yesterday afternoon in the United
States Army Building in New York, the
application of the Thornton Cragin syndi-
cate to have lines fixed in Communipaw
Bay for the purpose of constructing a dry
dock, wharves and piers was heard. Yes
terday's News, told of the company s
plans in detail
The main argument presented for the
syndicate was that the fats were a
menace to commerce and the Government
should encourage any enterprise which
would fill up the shoals in the harbor,
cover dangerous reefs and convert them
into useful and valuable lands.
Mr.. George L. Record of the Riparian
Commission said that the final deed had
been withheld from the Cragin syndicate.
Lieut. Frey, as the representative of
the Treasury Department read his orders,
which, in effect are that the Department
was not opposed to the building of the
dry-dock provided that there was 500
foot channel left between the property
and the west wall of Ellis Island
James B. Vredenburg represented the
Pennsylvania Railroad The former said
that since the last hearing the railroad
company had gone on with the develops
ments of its lands under water by build4
ing a bulkhead and filing in, and he said
that if the Cragins syndicate plans We're
allowed to go through and modifica-
ton of the existing shore lines were
made, it would have an injurious effect
on the roailroad property. and put in
hazard the 100000 already spent in the
Greenville section improvements
Mr.. Brown, engineer of the road, sup
plemented this by saying that the rail-
road company proposes to spend 000
in the harbor improvements by filing in
the shadows, building of bulkheads, four
piers 125 and 24O feet wide, and one 5000
feet in length, and another 1900 feet long,
and four transfer bridges. He said also
that considerable dredging would be done,
and that if Mr.. Cragin and his associates
were permitted to construct the proposed
island 1t would be the opening wedge for
the making of small islands all the way
down to Robbins Reef. He said that
there 9re other and more suitable places
where a big dry dock could be built with
out interference with property rights.
After some other interests had spoken
in opposition, and the Cragin people in
support of their scheme. the hearing was
closed. The result of the Boards inves-
LEGATIONS with its recommendations will
be sent to Secretary Root for his ap-

HARD TO PUNISH HIM
Russell Only Committed Theft
But That Wasn't His
Fault.

To make the punishment fit the crime
will be an interesting task for the Grand
Jury in the case of Thomas Russell. The
specific charge against Russell is larceny,
but more than thousand lives were en-
dangered in Hoboken last night when he
stole twenty odd feet of common lead
pipe.
Operating along Washington and Four
teenth streets, Russell sneaked into the
Easements of two dozen fiat houses, and
with small knife cut off the shorl
lengths of pipe which connect the me-
tiers with the gas mains. Early discov-
cry of the escaping gas in the basement
of one of the houses averted fatality
the possibilities of which can hardly be
imagined.
Following Rusel's arrest by Patrolman
William Eckhardt word was sent to the
Hudson County Gas Company and the
mains on the afflicted block were shut
off
Echhardt's attention was directed TO
the man by Mrs. A. Phelan of No. 1.5O4
Washington street. She saw Russell leave
the basement of the house shortly before
seven o'clock carrying bundle done up
in newspaper. rhe basement was filled
with escaping gas and going to the meter
she discovered the cut pipe. She found
Eckhardt nearby and Russell was arrest
ed before he left the block At the sec
ond precinct station he described himself
as plumber and claimed a residence at
No. 60 East Fourth street, New York
Twenty-Five lengths of pipe were found
wrapped up in the newspaper bundle A
knife with a broken blade was found in
his coat pocket. The blade was nicked
like a saw to better cut the pipe.
The contents of the bundle started the
police investigating and reports of TWEEN
ty-four flats that had been visited by
Russell led them to notify the gas works.
The prisoner refused to make a state
ment in the Recorders Court today and
he was held without bail for the Grand
Jury.
You are one of the meanest crooks
that ever has appeared in this caurt, I"
said Recorder Stanton. Its through no
care of yours that you have escape an
swering charge that would have been
worse than murder
