Terra Gotta PreSSerS And Fin
iSherS Union Met Last
Night.
men ARE DISSATISFIED.
Special Session Was Called And Conduct
ed As Quietly As Possible Counsel
Urged Moderation And Promised To
Look Into The Local Trouble Very
Shortly Heard Report.

Pressers and Finishers Union, No.
~, held special meeting in Union
hall last night Notices were not sent
out until O'Clock and the whole
affair was conducted as quietly as
possible. A fine of $25 will be
placed on a member of the union
caught talking to a reporter. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
reading a report from the Eastern
District Council In which it was
stated that the council would come to
Perth Amboy and look into the diff
culties here with the idea of having
matters satisfactorily adjusted by the
first of May.
Sometime ago the committee who
have charge of the union affairs in
regard to change in the wage scale
from being paid by the piece to so
much per cubic foot, notified the East
ern District Counsel to the effect that
they expected to have trouble at the
local factories. Late yesterday the
committee received a communication
from the counsel and this was read
last night.
The report was to the effect that he
would come to this city to look over
the situation and try to make the
necessary arrangement so that every
thing would be satisfactory by the
first Of the month. In the meantime
he advised the men to act in modera-
tion and cause no trouble before they
heard from him again which he said
would be very shortly.
The pressers claim that last Monday
the mitre cutters in one of the local
plants got raise from 80 to 30 cents
an hour and the day pressers were
advanced from 28 cents an hour to 80
cents. This, it is understood, has
made many of the pressers who are
paid by the piece more dissatisfied.

RUINS OF KEASBEY
PLANT SMOULDERINC.
Tons of Soft Coal Still Burn And
Men Are Watching 1t Con-

The ruins of the plant of the Nation
al Fireprooing Company, at Kaesbey,
which was recently destroyed by fire,
are still smouldering, while the tons
of soft coal about the place are burn
ing like furnace. The company has
a number of men out watching the
ruins to see that nothing ignites from
burning coal.
When the factory burned down over
100 men were thrown out of employ
ment. 1t is expected another plant

Westminster Will Probably Not
Be Abandoned For Some
Time.
STRIKE ON AT NEWTON.
B"iIding Trades Want More Wages And
Additions To The Home In That Place
Are At a StantstiII-A Comparison Of
The Two Buildings FavOrs The West
minister.

It now seems probable that the
Westminster Home on High street,
which is occupied by retired Presby-
terian ministers, may not be abandon
ed before the ending of summer or
the beginning of fall There is a
strike among the building trades at
Newton where the other home is be-
ing enlarged so as to accommodate
the ministers to be moved from here.
When the contract was first given
out for the work in Newton it provid-
ed that the building should be ready
for occupancy by the middle of May.
But few weeks ago walking dele
gate of the Central Federated Labor
Union arrived in Newton and organ
lied the mechanics of that place.
This was followed by a strike, the
men demanding more money and less
hours. Thus far no agreement has
been reached and just how long the
dead lock may last no one can say.
At least it looks as though the Vest
minister may be kept open for some
time vet. 1t was the intention to
abandon it next month.
In speaking of the difference be-
tween the two homes, l. @. Moore, a
former resident of Newton, said that
it was shame to abandon the West
minister, for the one at that place, be-
cause the home there is worth only
$50, 900 and the cost of the present re-
pairs will be $1,000. A Mr.. Merrin
gave the Newton home to the Presby-
terians. Mr.. Merrin also left $50. 900,
the interest of which is to go toward
the maintenance of the home and
grounds. At the rate of per cent
this would give 81 800 year to keep
the place and nothing for the ministers
who live in the home.
The Westminster is estimated to be
worth 100000. 1t has been occupied
by the ministers for twenty years. It
has eleven acres of land surrounding
it, and the building has accommoda-
tions for fifty guests. The costs of
repairs here would be about 81 900.
Consequently the economy prophesied
in abandoning the Westminster will
not be seen as the expense of boarding
the guests and other incidentals will
be the same.

Wanted Their Money Back And
Got 1t, So Did Others Who Did
Not Buy.
WAS HIS LAST NIGHT.
Told The Crowd That The One Purchasing
The Last Chain Would Get His Money
Back-Many Bought But The Last Did
Alt Arrive Boys Began Doing Things
AID Fakir Got Frightened.

The man who has been standing at
the Post Office corner every night
during the past two weeks, making
people believe they were getting some
thing for nothing and at the same
time raking IN the quarters, had his
hands full last night when he was
nearly mobbed by a small army OF
boys. The 'fakir,' as such men are
popularity called, announced that it
was his last night and he started in
to do stunts, in other words making
everybody present. He announced
that the last person to buy one of the
aluminium gold watch chains which
he was selling for twenty-five cents,
would be given their money back and
allowed to keep the chain.
The words were no sooner spoken
than mob of small boys put up their
quarters. Instead of having only one
chain left, the fellow seemed to have
a trunk full. When he had collected
| the money in sight he decided to
lose up for the night. But he had
lot consulted the small boys about the
matter. They crowded about, all
clamoring for their quarter. The
"fakir" only laughed at them and
said if they could prove which one
had bought the last chain he would
give that fellow his quarter.
The youngsters held a council OF
war, meantime the man was busy
packing, but before he could get away
the boys were at him again.
First, one gave his gasolene torch a
push and it came very near setting
fire to the mans goods, others started
to play horse with the man. They
pulled the wagon, in which he was
doing business, away, while some
tried to turn his grip inside out.
When the "fakir" saw that things
were beginning to get real warm, he
told the boys he would settle with all
of them, but some thought they were
having twenty five cents worth of fun
and were in favor of keeping on.
After they had quieted down the man
began to return the quarters. This is
where the boys fun commenced in
earnest. About six of them marched
up and got their money and kept the
chains. Then they loaned the iewelry
to their friends who also marched up
and got a quarter. Three or four boys
got quarters on one chain and the
crowd kept growing larger. The
'fakir" got frightened in earnest this
time, but he escaped by announcing
that his money was gone. He had a
few chains left and these he distribut-
ed among the crowd, just to keep
them interested until he could get
away. He announced that he would
come again, whereupon the boys
cheered, squeezed their quarters and
waved the chains. They promised
him a warm reception.

MAY BEAT. .CREsCEUS
Lou Dillon Trots a. Mile to Wagon
at Cleveland in
2:o4s4.

spacial to The Journal.

special TO 1N0 EJOuIAdA'
Cleveland, Ohio, June So.-The mile
trotted by Lou Dillon at the matinee Of
the Gentleman's Driving Club at the Glen
Vile track yesterday afternoon Is not only
significant because it breaks all previous
records to wagon. but because 1t indicates
that Lou Dillon has a splendid chance to
wrest the first f1onors of the trotting track
from the mighty Cresceus.
Lou Dillon's time Of 2:04A is only two
seconds and a half slower than Cresceus,
mile in 202A, the fastest time ever made
by trotter Moreover, the horse was
driven by an amateur, her owner, G.. K. q.
Billings: the track was not in the best
condition; the mare had been practically
idle during two weeks and she finished
strong and seemingly able to go a. second
mile just as fast.
Another thing which must be considered
is that Lou Dillon is a green mare. She
is a. young horse, and with a season or TWO
Of campaigning, 1t is almost certain that
she will clip quarters, or even seconds,
from Cresceus' mark.
| A runner paced Lou Dillon thru the
mile, keeping about five lengths ahead
until the three quarter pole was reached.
There the runner pulled up to let the mare
get alongside. The stretch was entered
at great speed, and in the excitement OF
the finish the 1900 spectators arose en-
masse: The time Of 2:04A breaks all rec
| Ords to wagon. Lou Dlllon,s former marx
was 206A, made a fortnight ago. The
time by quarters was 31&, 1:O3A, 1:34,
a.o4A. The last half was made in 1:O111a
and the last quarter in 30A. 1t was a
p1eno1n performance considered from,
any point Of view.
In a later race Mr.. Billings drove The
Monk the fastest mile credited to any
gelding this year,. 2:0SA.
