At A Meeting They Decide To
Give Until May
First.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
ills Argued That Pressers Working On
The Fine Pieces VIII Be Unable To
Make As Much As Those Working On
The Easy Straight Pieces-Pressers
Hope For Early Settlement.

The committee appointed at the
different terra Gotta works by the
members of Pressers and Finishers
Union Local No. n, who are trying
to effect a change in the wage scale
for the pressers, so that they sh"! be
paid hereafter by the cubic foot in
stead of by piece work, held special
meeting in Union Hall, Smith street,
Tuesday night. Speeches were made
by several members of the committees
in regards to the advisability of GO
ing out on a strike.
1t was finally decided to wait until
the first of May for an answer to their
request from all the factories. 1t is
expected by that time that new re-
port will be received from the Perth
Amboy Terra Gotta Company.
Those who do not favor the change
in wage scale argue that the mon are
making a great mistake. It is said
the men now claim they get paid by
the piece, some pieces commanding
more money then others. It is point
ed ont that some of the pieces require
greater care than others. An orna-
mental corner, for instance, may not
be very big piece, but it takes a
long time to fix. If the men are to
be paid by the cubic foot these pieces
which require so much attention, will
be worth less to- the men than the
straight easy work. A man could do
many feet of the latter while another
presser is fixing an ornamental piece
requiring much care. but which NAV
only amount to a few feet. With such
a scale, it is argued, the skilled press
er, who can be trusted with the fine
work, is going to receive less wages
than the fellow who can hurry
through an ordinary piece.
The pressers hope for peaceable
settlement by the first Of May.

MORE MEN WANT
HIGHER WAGES.
LabOrers At The Copper Works
Have Committee Wait Upon
Mr.. Mccoy.

A committee of FIVE men from the
tank room at the Raritan Copper
Works, waited upon Mr.. ]. @. Mccoy,
manager of the plant, yesterday after
noon with request that their wages
be increased. Mr.. Mccoy told the
committee that at the. present time he
could not give them an answer to their
request, but if they would return to
their duties for the present, he would
take it under consideration
When MI. Mccoy was seen by a re-
porter this morning he said that the
committee had made a request for an
increase in the wages of the tank room
employees. He said that the increase
was for different scale in each de-
partment.
This is the second delegation at the
Copper Works to ask for a raise in
wages. A few davs ago, some laborers
in the large furnace building called
at the main Office and made demand
for more money. They now receive
81. so day, and when they finish tax
ing a charge of copper out of a fur
mace thev must help charge it up
again. For this they ask $1.75 per
day.

Chief of Police Burke received q
letter from William j. Doughertv,
Chief of the Central Railroad police,

Local Dealers Reduced The Price
Of Anthracite To-day Grad
uaIly Increase.
NOW Sc. A TON.
Little Prospects, OFT Ever Getting Back
70 Old Price Before The strike-wi
Be $3.50 Ton Next Winter-O Opera
tors In Combine To Control The
Price. :.

Following the lead of the New York
coal exchange, local coal dealers to-
day reduced the price of anthracite
coal, domestic sizes, to $6 at ton.
This is simply the customary reduc-
tion made every year at the first of
April when the price of coal has been
put down fifty cents and raised ten
cents every month following until the
usual price is reached. 1t was stated
by coal dealer this morning that
people need not expect coal for So. so
a ton again. The coal. strike has
raised the price definitely he said,
and $6. 80 will doubtless hereafter be
the standard price. At least that will
be the cost of a ton of anthracite next
winter. On the first of May the price
will begin to go up and will be ,$6. 10,
increasing every month until the first
of September when $3.50 will be
reached.
THE operators are all combined, y
said the dealer, and try as you may,
you cannot get coal a cent cheaper
from any of the operators. "

TWO VAULTS IN POSITION.
Bank And Trust Company Both Have One
Installed Increased Business.

The new nine ton safe deposit vault
recently purchased from the Mosler
Safe Company was placed in its posi-
tion in the first National Bank last
night. 1t took a double team of
horses to haul it from the freight
1tation and about four hours to get it
off the big truck and into the back of
the building. To do this the floor
was necessarily strengthened and a
special foundation had to be built for
the final resting place.
The Perth Amboy Trust Company
also put a seven ton safe deposit vault
in their Office yesterday. Contractor
Redhing handled the safe from the
freight station and had no trouble in
unloading it.

MACHINISTS
ON STRIKE.
Employees At The Pardee Works
Are Out For Increase Of
Wages.
WANT NINE HOUR DAY.
Men We're At The Works This Morning To
Get Their Tools But Were Refused Ad-
mittance = Tools We're Brought To
Them-bir Morgan Says Men Are Well
Treated.

The machinists at the @. Pardee
Works went ont on strike yesterday
afternoon for an increase of wages
and days work to consist of nine
hours. At present they receive 50. 80
for ten-hour day.
A week ago they requested that
after April lst all machinists be paid
"a. 75 per day for nine hours work and
time and half for overtime, with
double time for Sunday. The answer
to this request was received yesterday
from Mr.. Pardee in which he refused
to grant the request of the men.
In talking about the matter this
morning one of the bosses at the tac.
tory said:
MIR. Pardee is man who will often
very readily grant the demands of any
of his employees of anY of his con-
Germs if they were in the right, but
he is man who cannot be forced to
do thing by any of his employees as
he would rather close down concern
than be forced.
Some of the machinists were out at
the works this morning trying to get
their tools, but as the gateman had
direct orders to admit no one without
a pass from headquarters it was neces-
sary for them to send for a boss who
brought their tools out to them. One
of the machinists said:
'sAt the present time we are work
ing longer hours than any machinist
in Perth Amboy and are receiving the
lowest wages for skilled labor.
when asked if the men would re-
turn to work unless the company de-
cided to grant them what was asked,
the speaker said that not man who
went out would return unless they get
everything they ask for. The machin-
lists claim that they will notify the
Machinists Unions all over the country
and that the local firm will find it
impossible to employ any machinists
while the strike is on.
When Mr.. Morgan, the manager of
the G. Pardee Works, was seen this
morning he said the machinists of the
q. Pardee Works were about the best
treated men of any in town. "They
are we'll housed" he declared, "both
in winter and summer and receive a
fair days pay while the work is not
too hard. "
He refused to answer the question
as to whether Mr.. Pardee would grant
the demands of the men, but said he
did not see how the strike could affect
any other part of the works.
AS both sides seems firm, it looks as
if it would be long drawn out fight.
Some of the machinists who called
for their tools this morning said that
they had been paid all the money that
was coming to them, and expected tc
start to work in other places right

cussed And Action Deferred No More
Roads.

AT the meeting of the Board of
Freeholders held at the court house in
New Brunswick yesterday, the Wood
bridge Creek Committee reported that
SO far Contractor Outley had notKpaid
any attention to the notice of the
Board directing him to finish the
Woodbridge Greek bridge. Mr.. Glenn
reported another means that was be-
ing devised to get the bridge CON-
pleted.
Mr.. Welsh, of the committee to
confer with the Jersey Central Trac-
tion Company on its petition to cross
the Cheeseuuake bridge, stated that
while meeting had been held, no
agreement had been reached. Later
Mr.. Van Derveer, representative of
the company, stated that good pro-
gress was being made toward build
ing the road from South Amboy to
Red Bank, and it was hoped to finish
it in the next two months. He asked
the Board to take early action and be-
lieved satisfactory arrangements could
be reached for crossing the bridge.
On motion. of Mr.. DeHart the commit
tee was directed to report back to the
Board whatever action might be
taken.
Sheriff Carman appeared before the
Board to ask it to fix the pay Of deputy
sheriffs who serve in case of strikes.
After some discussion it was decid-
ed that the county should pay ordin-
airy deputies 81 and constables So per
day.
A letter was read from City Clerk
John F. Rielley, of Perth Amboy, ask
ing for two new polling booths here
and also that the ballot boxes of the
city be repaired. Under the law the
county must keep them in repair. The
matter was referred to the solicitor.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Vanden-
bergh, directing the County Engineer
to prepare plans and a profile for a
new stone road from the Hightstown.
Manalapan road to the Jamesburg-
Stults' corner road, distance of 3.9
miles. The matter was referred to
the Road Committee.
Freeholder James DeHart offered a
resolution, which was adopted, and
which provided that the Finance
Committee be requested to include in
its next budget sufficient appropria-
tion to meet the cost of building a
new bridge over Lawrence Brook at
Milltown. and that a committee be
appointed to ascertain the cost of the
same.
Mr.. DeHart stated that he had had
several conferences with the Middle
sex & Somerset Traction Company
and it seemed kindly disposed toward
meeting half the expense of new
bridge.
Mr.. Allgair offered a resolution
directing that plans and specifications
made by Engineer Dougherty for a
new road from Sayreville to Deep Cut
bridge, near South Amboy, be accept
ed bv the Board and sent to State
Road Commissioner Budd for his
approval. Director Fountain said
that resolution could not be acted
upon, as the county cannot provide
for any further road building during
the present fiscal year.
There is only one more meeting for
the Freeholders before their year
closes.

ARizoNA'S FEMALE BANDIT.

There Is something fatiguing about
the efforts of yellow newspapers in the
east to exploit the wretched Peart
Hart as the Female Bandit Of Ari-
zona," says the Phoeniy Republican.
She is aboptt as much of a bandit as a
coyote is. Broke" on the desert, and
stimulated by morphine, she and a
worthless, cowardly and degenerate
male companion managed to summon
enough nerve TO stop a Reuben" stage
driver. The pair were promptly cap
tured and sent to the p~enitentiary. Her
fellow bandit" was such a desperate
character that he was almost imme-
diately made a 'trusty" around the
prison, and served as a cook for the
superintendent family. One day he
sauntered away and never came back,
and there never was any public cutlery
for his apprehension and return to
prison. In prison the m was the
same low creature that she was when

gaining in richness while behind the
bars. So illiterate that she can hardly
write her own name, she is exploited

should leave the territory, and If east
ern people wish to accept her as "th'
female bandit" and Arizona actress

THE WEEK..

A special dispatch from Washing
ton, dated January 10, says:
This is expected to be the critical
week in the statehood contest. Friends
of the measure, under the leadership
of Elkins and Quay, will make an ef-
fort to force the senate TO a vote. Sen
ator Quay has announced that his side
OF the question needs no further X
pIoitation, and this means that the op-
position must have a large number OF
speakers ready to go on with the de-
bate, or else they will not be enabled
TO occupy the entire time of the sen
ate, and a vote must follow.
Elkins and Quay are disposed TO
push for night sessions to continue
consideration Of the bill, and, II sue
cessful, this may force a vote.
The leader of the opposition, Sen
xtor Beverage, claims that he has

FORAKER AND NEW MEXICO.

Senator Foraker of Ohio, the brother
of C. M. Foraker, of this city, the Unit
ed States marshal for New Mexico, is
striking sturdy blows for statehood, in
the senate.
Senator Foraker said the commit
tees report on the condition of New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona was
the greatest libel that had been direct
ed against a community. He read
figures to show hat 1,271,51S acres of
land had been taken up by settlers
since the completion of the last census
reports, most of which was by home
stead entries. At one land Office alone
there were over 200 entries during the
month of December, just past. AS to
the arid lands the committee said ex-
listed in New Mexico, he said they
would be OF use in furnishing the mo-
supply of the country during the com
ing years. ION these plains there Craze
thousands of sheep and cattle" he
said. perhaps the committee does
not know this for the reason that II

as Arizona is concerned.
REVIVAL OF sIMPsoNlrls.

A feature of the livestock owners
convention in Kansas City the other
day was the sudden political revival
of Hon. Jerry Simpson, who was one
of the populistic ciphers that Kansas
wiped off the slate several years ago,
says the Denver Republican.
Mr.. Simpson, who now lives in New
ness, announced himself as a free
trader and even had the temerity to
engage in a tilt with Senator Warren
on the subject Of high tariff and wool.
It is doubtful If New Mexico will look
with any kindly eye on this evident
attempt of Mr.. Simpson to announce
his political rehabilitation. The ter
ritory cannot afford to encourage err
ratio politicians of the Simpson stripe,
but il Is evident that the former Kan
san is going to effect his political re-
generation If it can be accomplished.
This is doubtless the secret of his re-
cen strenuous work for statehood.
New Mexico should not waste any
he is a political impossibility. His
populistic record does not inspire con-
fdence, and his new cloak of free
trade democracy is too evidently a
garment borrowed to suit the occasion.
Jerry should be quietly but firmly
planted once more in the political
background.

eleven senators upon whom he can
call for speeches, each of whom will
be ready to talk for a day or more,
The full strength of the opposition is
likely to be centered in the effort to
either displace the statehood bill on
the senate calendar by the legislative
appropriation bill reported today. by
an antitrust bill, or by substitution of
the measure providing for the combi-
nation of New Mexico and Arizona as
a single state.
Senator Burnham will be the next
speaker in opposition to the bill and it
is expected will occupy several days.

WARNING TO PUBLIC SERVANTS.

The Tucson Citizen deals out the
following warning to the legislators
of Arizona:
The time has arrived when the peo-
pie of Arizona are going to keep a
tighter rein on their public servants,
especially representatives in the leg
islature. The latter's every act will
be closely scrutinized, and woe be to
the future political aspirations of the
man who is caught in double-dealing
or attempts to deceive his constitu-
ents. The members Of the coming
legislature will be required to deal
honestly and frankly with the people.
Promises made by such representa-
tives prior to the election will not be
overlooked and passed by as mere
campaign lodges, but must be kept.
When elections were farces con
Quoted by ballot box wizards, not
much attention was paid to the prom
Uses or acts of public officers, but the
ballot law and the primary system
! have changed all such loose and de-
moralizing methods, and public SER
wants in this territory will be con-
fronted at the primaries by their acts.
In this respect the newspapers of the
territory have a duty to discharge.
| All official acts and votes should be
made known without fear or favor.
This relates particularly to the com
ing legislature, but it should be APP
piled to all other official acts, in order
that justice may be done al, round in
future primaries.
