WASHINGTON, July 29-Addtional in
Department from Special Commissioner

Of the arrangement made by the repre-
sentatives Of the Powers there for the set
tlement OF the Chinese troubles. In tele-
gram received yesterday it is said that the

ment Of the first installment Of principal

George MoCabs. Is years old, skilled
/, machinist and q sober. industrious man,
who began a. an errand boy In the Worth
ington Hydraulic Works In South Brook
lyn thirty years ago and was employed
there over since with the exception OF one
brief and unfortunate break, committed
suicide yesterday morning in his littlo
| fiat at ~ Woodruff street. where he lived with
his wife and his four-year-old daughter.
McCabe was victim OF the tyranny Of
union labor, and his suicide was directly
due to the prosecutions to which he was
subjected on account OF his action In the
strike which occurred at the Worthington
works about nine weeks ago. McCabe
himself was quite satisfied with the ex-
isting conditions. He had no grievance
against his employers, who had given him
a steady Job since he was boy and paid
him the current rate OF wages When
the Worthington employees decided by
q large majority early In May to demand
a working day Of nine instead OF ten hours,
no agreed with them that 1t was a good
thing to do, but did not assent to tho ppopo-
sition that q general strike was immedi-
stsly to follow a refusal OF the demand.
He argued that 1t was very serious mat
ter for 900 pen to stop work. that the re-
suit Of the fight was uncertain and that no
decisive stop should be taken until all ef-
forts to arbitrate had failed.
MoCabe's arguments were met with
Jeers. He went out with the rest. but from
time to time in the course Of the strike he
strongly advised a compromise TO bring
1t to an end He was again rebuked and
finally he determined to return to work.
He did 30 on July 10 and yesterday morn
ing's tragedy was q direct consequence.
McCabe's audacity In deserving the strik-
ers was resented in the accustomed way.
He was reviled and denounced on his way
to and from work, men and women with
whom he had been on friendly terms for
years refused TO recognize him and the
children Of the neighborhood called -scab"
after him as he passed. The persecution
stopped short only Of actual violence,
although threats against his life are said
to have been made. He was despond-
ent all Of Sunday and refused to eat
and couldn't sleep. Yestreday morning he
told his wife that he wasn't going back to
the factory and that he would remain at
home all day and think over what was best
to be done. Mrs. McCabe and the girl went
out about 10 o'clock and when they returned
he was lying dead in the kitchen with his
throat cut. Mrs. McCabe was in a faint
when neighbors came to the room in re-
sponse TO her outcry. An inquest will be
held tomorrow and II the widow has her
way some witnesses who can tell about the
persecution to which her husband was
recently subjected will be examined.
