II was rumored that Jesse K. Baylis,
candidate for mayor, would retire from
the fight. but this is denied by Mr..
Baylis. Mr.. Baylis stated this morning
that he viii remain on the ticket now
il he only gets eleven votes.
Friends of Mr.. Baylls are also urg-
ing him to stand. They claim that

a case of standing up to get knocked

WANT UNION Prices AND HOURS

Busy Season at Local Plant lnterfered
With BY Men Going out-Trouble
Has Been Brewing for Some
Time.
The local piant Of the American Car
and Foundry Company is tied up be-
cause 800 Of their employees went on
strike this morning.
The men came to work at the accus
toned time, but according to an agree
ment yesterday. appointed committees
to confer with the officers Of the COM
pany and make their demands known.
While the committees were in the or
fee the men left the plant ami stood
around in front Of the buildings dis
cussing the situation in small groups
Departments Affected.
Those affected by the strika are The
carpenters, shipbuilders, machinists
mill hands, joiners, dock men and la.
borers. After discussing the matter
the mill hands decided to return &c
work until an answer was given them
and they, the blaoksmiths and cal
builders are the only departments
working in the big plant today.
Cause Of Strike.
Some time ago 800 mechanics il
New York city refused to handle tn
materials OF the local plant because Il
WAS nOn-union plant. and tho mer
were forced to work longer than tn,
union would allow. This led to a MOTTO,
being posted to the effect that a nine
hour day and half holiday on Saturda,
would be given, but when the men go
their envelopes they found their wage,
had been reduced. This caused much dis
satisfaction, which has been GROWING
until it terminated IN the strike thi
morning.
The demand made that the men wh'
went out this morning was that thl
I firm pay them the union price of sixtl
hours a week for a nine hour day "a,
Saturday half holiday. The lab0rer
want fat rate of fifteen cents an hour
The demand was made to Distric
Manager Charles Gagwthrop. who is a

can Car and Foundry Company hai

will be some time before the answe
will be given the men. although it wa
lannounced it would be rendy tonight
The firm is in one of the most pros
porous eras of its existence. every de
i partment being crowded with work. Il
the shipyard six boats are already un
der construction, and the firm has or
ders for six more, and enough work L
run it until next winter, If no othe
orders are received.
The men showed no signs OF vic
lence. and after standing about tn
piant until about noon went home. Th
different departments will have meet
ing places, where tn reports Of commit
tees will be heard.
1t is the general impression or IN
men that the demand will be granted
although the officers Of the company
when approached on the subject refuse
to say anything.
The blacksmiths who went OUT thl
week were given their demand. whic
is thought to have expedited the srik
ing of the other departments.

candidates who have been out for some
time do not seem to relish this scheme

For Mayor-James p. Winchester.

For city Treasurer-George c. Nor

It was at first thought that j. Jack

ceived this morning, it will be George

about the matter than what he saw in

RECTOR SUPPORTS HIMSELF.
An Episcopal Chapel At High Bridge Which
is singular in the Diocese OF New York.


St. Adams Episcopal Chapel at High
Bridge. opposite the Speedway. is singular
in the Episcopal diocese OF New York in
having been from the first under the charge
of a minister who maintains himself and
his family by secular labors.
The Rev r. H. Wevill, the minister in
charge. was ordained to deacon's orders
about five years age hy bishop F cbnrrh ana
Washington Heights, assisting the Rev
DR.. EmGury, then rector. At the death
of DR.. Embury three years ago Mr.. Wevill,
with the consent of the ecclesiastical au-
rhorities, began a mission at High Bridge,
the first services being held in public
hall
The small congregation, was composed
mostly Of mechanics, railroad men and
people generally in very moderate circum-
stances. 80 that the financial burdens OF
sustaining the mission seemed hkely TO
went on in another place, from which. In
;urn. it removed to home which before
had been occupied as beer saloon. This
was fitted UP for the congregation OF st.
Adams. but 1t suffered from the cold OF the
heating arrangements. The attendants had
to wear their overcoats and wraps during
the services and the outlook for the mis-
sion seemed dismal; but when things looked
worst Mrs Mary l. Kemp COOK gave II a
chapel Conditional on funds being raised
to build it without debt. The rector and
people OF St. Adams went to work with
a will In a few months IS 500 was raised.
of which sum about one-half came from
the neghborhood and the remainder from
church people in other parishes.
st. Adams has just passed its first an
niversary and has become hive OF activi-
ties for the social as well as the spiritual
welfare Of it's people. During all this time
the Rev Mr.. Wevill has supported himself
'e-prise In New York, thus fulfilling st.
Paul's proud saying: these hands have
ministered unto my necessities and to them
that were with me-"

school are now OVERLOOKING the little chapel
