The managers of the mill fought for
a time, but eventually made satisfac-
tory concessions to the strikers and
the opposition to the sale of the mills
goods rewithdrawn. but not until the
estimated damage amounted to slOoO 600.
This was Jamestown's first experience
with labor troubles.
PLUMBERS GO OUT.
The journeymen plumbers who had
formed a union were the next to play
with their new toy. Inspired by the
success Of the striking weaVcrs they
began search for grievances. First
they made demand for shorter hours.
The master plumbers agreed. Then
they submitted a set of rules and reg
ulations regarding the price to be paid
apprentices, which, If adopted. would
relieve the employees from the re-
sponsibilty of selecting their employees
or at least of fixing the compensat tion
of the individual. About that time
the master plumbers had reached the
conclusion that no sane man could do
business under such conditions. OF
course, strike followed. All the
plumbing on the unfair" list. but un-
fortunately for the strikers, the plumb
ing business was not SO easily injured
and the master plumbers got along
very well without the assistance of
their former employees
These strikes attracted only passing
attention. but when last sprng one r.

To forsee serious trouble. The street
railway is owned by Almet y. Broad
head, who is also engaged in other
large enterprises and who provides in
round numbers employment for 1000
persons. Prior TO the advent of union
ism the relations of this army of en-
ploycs with Mr.. Broadhead apparently
approached the ideal No person had
any difficulty in approaching him and
no grievance, real or fanCied, was ever
presented without receiving courteous
and careful consideration. on the
other hand the men were loyal to the
interests Of their employer and all
things considered were as Contented a
lot of workmen as could he found in all

These were the conditions when Bar

The men declared that the union was
merely for the purpose of providing
sick and accident benefits. Mr.. Maltby
in reply said that the company would
guarantee $500 year as a fund for

jamestown, y. y, Letter in the New York sun
Organized labor and its effects upon
the community and the individual is
theme which for some time past has
engaged the earnest attention of the
residents of jamestown. Labor unions
have been in active operation here for
little more than a year. In that time
one manufacturers business has been
damaged to the extent of 500 O00 or
more, all the iourncymon plumbers
and majority of the employees of the
street railway have lost their employ
ment, an unfair" list Of business men
has been established and the COM
munity has been incOnVcnonCcd by an
effort to prevent people from riding
on street railway. Another result
has been the tcrrorizinG of business
interests and thc elevation To tenn
pOrary notoriety of the men who con-
troll the unions
Prior to the advent of unionism the
working people of the town maintain
ed harmonious relations with their en-
ployers. Strikes and lockout were
practically unknnNn. Differences,
when they existed. were freely dis
cusscd and amicably adjusted. Manu-
facturors, unhampcrod by threats of
strikes, were able TO meet competition
anywhere. The men. free from en-
tangling alliances with labor unions.
were able to devote their time to their
work and their money to themselves,
and the good result of these conditions
Is sroWn by the fact that fully -
per cent. of the residents of James
town own their homes, the largest
proportion Of frceholders to be found
in any city large or small, in the
Empire state.

FREEDOM a FACTOR.

This freedom from labor troubles
and walking delegates was an i'm
rnrtant factor in the development of
the industrial enterprises Of the town
More than one manufacturer looking
about for place in which to establish
his business was brought to James
town by the conclusive argument of
industrial independence here.
The prosperity of the manufacturers
and their employees extended To the
merchant and the mechanic, rhc brick
layer and the banker. Even in the
paniCkN times of 1898 ana lSgt. manu-
facturers managed To keep their plants
In operation with material reduction
either Of time or of wages. The cleo
tion of Mckinley in 1896 and the re-
neWed prosperity that followed soon
buried the manufacturers under an
avalanche of orders. Many establish
ments were kept running from e
o'clock i'm the morning until mid
night. Travelling men paid bv the
year were kept at home in idlencss
simply because their employers had
orders which would require many
months 70 I'LL. In the midst of all this
prosperity the labor organizer came TO
town.
Years Of immunity from labor
troubles led the manufacturers 10 be-

MRS. DENNIS CHRISTMAS.
Injured woman on Road 20 Hccov-
cry. hut Uns Made No statement.

On her bed at Garfield Hospital Mrs.
Ada Gilbert Dennis spent Christmas much
as she has other days since the murder
Gus assault upon her She is now prac-
tically out OF danger. but has not made
statement TO the police.
Detectives have begun to thresh over
old ground in an effort to discover 4
clue to the perpetrator of the crime. Sew
eral persons near 10 Mrs. Dennis. and
even one or two persons living at her res
idence. i1l7 X street. have been asked to
visit Headquarters within the past few
days in order that they might be ques-
toned further as to the mystery Of the
assault, but nothing has yet come of all
this.
It is hone OF the detectives that Mrs
Dennis will soon tell something about the
assault. 1t is possible that she may not be
able to throw any light on the mystery. but
she viii be questioned closely when she re-
covers sufficiently to permit it. Detective
Horne is not willing to accept as final
statements made TO others by Mrs. Dennis
to the effect that she does or does not know
dHNiiiHb ahout lht asoduAl anu wants "
talk with her himself.
BY so doing he thinks he may get more
information. which may possibly give him
a clue on which to work. The detective
wants to know. above all, just what per-
sons Mrs. Dennis knows real well, with
whom she has had close business relations,
and whether she has any enemy, real or
fancied who could ind a motive to do her
bodily harm.
None of the old reports as to the mys-
terry give promise of new developments.
In fact. the position of the detectives is
about that they must keep busily pegging
away at the bottom Of the enigma until
something turns w TO assist them. This
something is a statement from Mrs. Den
mis-, ard If it comes. so much the better.
II 1t does not, then nothing remains to be
done but TO go over the old facts in the
hope OF turning up new layer OF clues.
The detectives engaged at this time on
the Dennis case are Horne. Hartigan. Hell
an and McNamee. Horne and Hartigan
have nothing else to do and are spending
all their time on the mystery.
A number Of friends called yesterday at
the hospital to enquire for Mrs Dennis.
her sister. Mrs Dunn, of fl2 y Street
northwest being among the visitors. Mrs
Dunn saw her sister for a few moments
but no conversation OF any length took
place between them.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY NOTES.
Proposition for the Enlargement. OF
the Race Trncf<

ROCKVILLE. Nd. Dec. 25.-Christmas
services were held in the St. Mary's
Church here this morning. AT IL o'clock
last night there was high mass and at
o'clock this morning low mass was
celebrated. The Rev. Father Thomas D.
Williams conducted the services An ex-
eellent musical programme was rendered
by the choir.
The farmers generally throughout the
county are complaining OF the poor out
look for a crop OF wheat next year. Owing
to the dry weather following the sowing
Of the grain much OF It did not sprout.
and there is said TO have been a great
deal Of what is known as dry rot" This
is particularly the case with the late
sown grain.
II is understood that at the next meet
ing Of the agricultural society OF this
county, to be held in January, the propo-
sition to enlarge the race track will be
seriously considered. and that there is
every prospect favorable to the making
OF the present track. which is one-third
of mile, half-riile one. Those familiar
with the financial affairs of the society
say that it is in excellent condition to
undertake the improvement. In order to
make the enlargement the society will
have to purchase a tract Of about five
acres. which, it is said. viii cost them
$500 an acre. The future success of the
society depends in q great measure upon
the contamination of this enterprise.
Among the many proposed laws that are
of local importance which viii probably
come before the Legislature the most
agitated one is a bill providing for the
repeal and re-enactment with amend
ments of the present local option law.
The bill was orawn by the executive COM
mittee of the Anti-SalO0n Leag,se at a
recent meeting and amends the law only
in its penalty features. The present pen
atty for violation of the law is a hne of
not less than $50 and not more than $500.
and in default OF immediate payment, then
Imprisonment in the house of correction
for net more than six months. The league
want the law amended so that for the
first violation fine of not less than $50
nor more than 5000. and in default OF
payment Imprisonment IN the house OF
correction for not less than TWO month.
nor more than six months, can be i'm
posed; and for second offense a fine
Of not more than $500 nor less tha-. zoe.
and also imprisonment 10 the house OF
correction for not less than three months.
and not more than twelve months.
