There is no defect in the eye cap
able of more harmful results than
short sight or myopia, often denomi-
mated "near sight"
Other eye malformations cause pain
headaches and eyeaches, but short
sight gives no warning, yet is one of
the most dangerous conditions.
From constant effort to see perfect
ly without proper glasses, the eye
takes on a malignant growth, and
gradually becomes elongated, causing
ruptures and hemorrhages, finally
breaking down in its entire structure.

manner will often prevent serious re-

The general sentiment seemed to be

tents Of this communication was not
divulged to the Freeholders, but it was
generally understood that it contained

The prevalent impression is that the

Chief Murphy Keeps a Re
serve Ready Situation In
Union Hill
POLICEWITHDRAWN

Trouble is brewing among the different
nationalifies represented among the silk
mill hands who are ON strike in the
northern part of this city and in North
Hudson. The Italians are arraigned on
one side and the Germans and French
men are on the other.
The Italians are united in their de-
termination to keep up the fight against
the mill owners with the object in view
Of compelling them to place their mills on
union basis The Frenchmen and Ger
mans have weakened and are anxious to
return to work.
AT recent meetings of the strikers in
West Hoboken, propositions were made
to take the vote on different questions
by secret ballot. Italians jumped up
all over the hall and vigorously protested
against any such plan, insisting that
every man should openly announce exact
~ where he stood.
The attitude of the French and Ger
man mill hands caused much i'll feeling
on the part of the Italians, who seem to
be determined tofght to a finish. They.
have been greatly influenced in the stand
they have taken by Italian strike lead
ers in Paterson.
The silk mill owners, it is said, expect
that the backbone Of the strike will be
broken when the relations between the
Italians and the other foreign speaking
silk hands get little more strained and
the French and Germans return to work.
Another meeting of the strikers is
scheduled for the afternoon.
Chief of Police Murphy has greatly
pleased the strikers by not stationing any
uniformed policemen at the mills. Last
week the strikers told him it was ex-
tremely embarrassing for them to return
to. work under the eyes of bluecoats.
Many of them said that they didn't go
into the mills solely for the reason that
the cops were on guard.
The Chief has an extra force of men
at the Sixth Precinct station house who
can be hustled out in moments notice
in case their services are required
