representation the department rendered
bills accordingly. In 1901 the re-examina-
ton was made, and a corrected bill rem
dered and paid The water department has
uniformly held that refunds cannot be
granted where the circumstances show the
cause of the overcharges to be due to
negligence on the part of the owner. Colo
mel Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner, in
passing upon the papers in the case, says:
1T was the custom of the Office previous
to remeasurer1ent made in 1901, to take
the dimensions of houses as given by the
owners. In the reinstatement differences
were found both ways. sometimes causing
diminution and sometimes an increase in
the amounts of rent charged. In no cases
have any back rents been charged because
Of erroneous widths given by owners, or re-
funds allowed for the same reason. The
former dimensions as given by the owners
were always considered final, and there
does not, therefore, seem to be any good
reason for making refund

avenue, President R. H. Bontz presiding
The meeting lasted about six hours, at the
end of which time it was announced that
the union had Endorsed the action of the
strikers and that twenty-four new members
were obligated. The strikers also stated
that the managers of three of the theaters-
Chase's, Academy of Music and Empire
had acceded to the demands of the strik-
ers, and that the New National, the Column
bia, the Lafayette and Kernans theaters
have been declared unfair.
A dispatch was sent to Lee NJ Hart, sec
rotary of the international body of stage
employees, requesting him to forward 81 800
which was appropriated al the last conven-

Not Regarded as Serious.

The managers Of the four theaters-the
National, the Columbia, the Lafayette and
the Lyceum-regard the strike which is di-
rected against them as Of little significance
and are very reluctant to have anything to
say on the subject. They say the perform
ances will be given just the same as IL
nothing had ever happened
Mr.. Joseph Luckett, who is secretary Of
the Managers Association, speaking as an
individual, stated that the members of the
union committee informed him at noon Sat-
urday that their organization had no griev-
ances against the Columbia Theater, and
that there would be no strike until the
final fan of the curtain Saturday night
Mr.. Luckett said the men broke their wo1 d
in that they walked out Of the theater be-
fore the first act was over.
In reference to the Managers Association
blacklisting men, Mr.. Luckett declared
that the association was organized for the
p1 election of the managers interests. The
Managers Association, he added, was
never in better condition and is stronger
at present than at any time since 1t was
formed. Mr.. Luckett stated that all the
managers had secured the services of all
the experienced men they could possibly
use, and so far as the Managers Associa-
ton Is concerned there is no strike. Mr..
Luckett concluded by saying that the
statement made by strikers Is incorrect
Manager LaMott of the Lafayette stated
to q Star reporter late this afternoon that
his stage hands quit work on twenty min
utes' notice. and that all Of them. including
the electrician and assistant electrician, left
the theater Immediately thereafter. Mr.
IaMott stated that had he not had man
to take the place of the electrician some
thing might have gone wrong with the
electrical apparatus of the playhouse and
caused stampede of the audience. He also
stated that he had secured an entirely new
set Of experienced stage hands.
Manager Herman stated that the strike
did not affect his theater.
