opnosed 70 Machinery.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
An example Of the antipathy toward
the introduction of machinery which
many worIlmen from European -eoun-
tries have was given in Salem, Mass,
last week, when fifty shoemalxers went
on a strike because the proprietors of a
factory found it necessary to install
some machines to keep up with their
orders. According to a member Of the
D. ID. Lefavour Shoe Company the firm
were unable to hnd enough men to do
the work I'm the lasting department, and
were compelled to bring In more ma
chinery whereupon the number OF help
mentioned above. composed Of Greeks,
Armenians ana Poles, left their work.
There was no grievance over hours of
work, the difficulty being due purely to
the legitimate action Of the firm which
wished to keep the factory going at full
capacity.
We doubt II American worlxingmen
in the factory where the strike oc-
CURED would uphold the alien help In
their revolt at machinery. Instead of
making less work machinery has en-
gendered greater activity in nearly all
lines Of trade with more men at work
at better wages than ever before.

Mrs. Dumeld Waterford of Gonda,
Oudh, Northwestern Provinces, India,
who recently arrived at New York with
her two daughters from three
months visit to England, was the guest
Of friends at the Beresford before she
left on her return trip TO India. Mrs.
Waterford is the wife Of Dumeld Wa
terford, the British civil commissioner
Of Gonda, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Mrs. Waterford is
prominent in club life in her India
home and is the president Of the An
glo- American Women's club there, an
organization formed among the English
aud American residents.
1T VIII perhaps surprise you a lit

quite a large number Of Americans
living in Gonda and throughout the
western provinces Of India. Gonda it.
self has fully 200 American residents,

After paying a tribute 20 the social
qualities of the Americans, who helped
'to keep things lively" she added:
"When / left India. il may interest

Of my departure to have the deficiency

BAND MAY SUE FIREMEN
Philharmonic Engaged and Then Re
jeeted by West Chester Firemen.

The Philharmonic Band may have
legal battle with the firemen Of West
Chester regarding a contract said to
have been made with them to accom-
pany the firemen on q trip to Allentown
and later setting it aside for the Spring
Mills band.
If the matter is not adjusted TO our
satisfaction said Mr.. Robinson to a
reporter. I'VE will simply bring suit
for the amount Of the contract. We
have lost other engagements by reason
of the action of the hremen and many
of our men have also lost good jobs on
that day waiting for the firemen."
Henry r. Guss, secretary of the
Board of Foremen of the company,
made the engagement with me by tele-
phone and followed this up with a
number OF other messages as to what
arrangements l should make for trans
portation and other matters. There is
another matter in connection with the
affair. If the company uses the Spring
Mills Band and the latter is a Musical
Federation organization we viii pro-
test it and have it removed from the
line of parade. If it is not in the or
ganization we may inaugurate a strike
among the Federation bands and have
it ousted. You see we have our redress
in several ways"

From the Chicago Public.
It Is reported from Washington that
the Democrats intend at the next ses-
sion of Congress TO quiz" President
Roosevelt on his acceptance OF "cour-
tesies" from railroads IN the way Of
free special trains and sree cars. But
which of them win have the hardihood
10 do this "quizzlng?' p All Congressman
are given passes by the railroads. That
fact was brought out with sufficient
clearness in the Baltimore and Ohio
letter TO Congressman Baker. But up
TO date Congressman Baker is the only
member Of either House who is known
to have refused such "courtesies.' Is
IL any worse for the President than for
Congressman to accept railroad favors
We hone the President may be
"quizzed;" but we also hope that Mr..
Baker. or some Congressman with
hands equally clean may be selected TO
conduct the "duizzing."

SAFETY GATES REMOVED
Levy Court Claimed They Were NJ
Good and Refused to Have Them.

The safety gates at Third street
bridge were removed yesterday BY
representatives Of the local plant of the
American Bridge Company. which con-
cern installed the gates. This was the
result of a resolution passed by the
Levy Court to the effect that il tthl
bridge company did not remove the
gates within a certain time the court
would have them removed at the conn
pany's expense.
The gates were installed more than
a year ago and it is claimed the work.
was done on a verbal order of a form-
er member Of the court.
The charge made for the work BY
the bridge company being more than
$500 the contract was declared illegal
and as the gates in the opinion Of tho
Levy Court Commissioners did not
appear to give satisfaction. the court at
a meeting some weeks ago ordered the
bridge company TO remove them.
