"vIoLET BRIDE" WANTS DIVORCE
Woman Now After Liberty She Con-
tested In Husband.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-The
"yiolet BRIDE as she is known from
one end of the country to another,
Mrs. Esther Bartlett Clarke, yesterday
filed suit for divorce from J. King
Clarke, the Pittsburg millionaire, on
the ground of desertion. Mr.. Clarke
sued his wife last year for the same
purpose, but was defeated after
most sensational trial.
Esther Bartlett was one of Wash
ingtons most beautiful girls. She is
now only twenty-three, blonde, viva
cious, witty and extremely popular.
The marriage took place in this city,
in a room trimmed with violet ribbons
and before an altar covered with vlo-
lets.
The happy couple took train for
New York, taking with them the best
man, Macintosh Kellogg. The three
went to the Holland house. There MI.
Clarke left his bride and his best man
together in his rooms for a few min
utes, and on his return he found the
brides corsage bouquet of v1olets
crushed on the best mans bosom. He
was reconciled, however, but in April,
1900, he brought suit for divorce and
was defeated. 1t is understood Clarke
will not contest his wife's suit, which
is based on abandonment. It requires
two years abandonment to make a

BITTER WAR ON TRADES UNIONS.
Manufacturers Determined to Resist
the Demands OF Machinists.

Manufacturers Determined to Resist
the Demands OF Machnists.
New York, May 26.-Bitter hostility
on the part of manufacturers toward
the striking members of the Inter
national Association of Machinists
was reflected in the remarks of one OF
the most prominent manufacturers OF
bridgeport, at conference at the
Aston house by the National Metal
Trades association. This man said:
'sThe sense of this meeting and that
of all the metal manufacturers of the
country, with a few exceptions, IS
that the manufacturers cannot longer
submit to the domination of trades
unionism. We intend to stamp it out,
for the demands made upon us are
injurious to our business, and are
beyond all reason. We have reached
the last ditch, where we must stand
shoulder to shoulder and fight the
dictation of trades unionism. The
fight we shall win. This meeting is
not solely of members of the National
Metal Trades association. Manufac-
turers from many adjacent states
have come here to talk over the sit
uation. We are sick of being dictated
to, and of having our business inter
fered with by our employees. | say
again, that trades unlonism must be
stamped out 1t is now war to the
knife"
The conference of manufacturers
held two secret sessions. About fifty
were present. After the morning ses-
sion, A. B. See, of the A. B. See Ele-
vator company said:
"The members of the conference
are a unit in their decision to resist
the demands of the strikes. The mach
inlsts have violated their agreement
not to strike without submitting their
demands to arbitration. If we were to
give in and pay them ten hours pay
Tor nine hours day what security
would we have of the future? The men
have violated an agreement which
we have lived up to, and they have
been inspired to this action by the
labor leaders. We must stand fast
now and with few exceptions we are
doing so. There was no need for this
strike. Most of us were willing to
concede the demand for more wages,
but the men were ordered to strike
months ago. Several expressed the
opinion that the only course for the
manufacturers was to stand by the
Chicago agreement to submit all
points at dispute to arbitration"
