At a meeting of the Clerks Union
held Tuesday night, steps were taken
to form a Trades Union in this city
AT the meeting, representatives Of all
the unions in town were present and
a general discussion as to the advisable
ity of such an organization was had.
A committee composed Of Silas Clark,
Lindlau NJ. Leek, John B. Holly, was
appointed with power to formulate
plans for such an organization.
Five new members to the Clerk S
Union were taken in at the meeting,
most of them from Stiner's grocery
store.
One of the officers of the association
when seem by Chronicle reporter
said the union was much encouraged
over the increase in membership and
he firmly believed that very soon all
the merchants in town would realize
that the clerks demands were legiti-
mate and proper, and that the early
closing movement would be a success.
A talk with several of the well-es-
tablished and prosperous merchants of
the town did not create the impress
sion that trend toward a cooperation
with the clerks would follow They
say that under no circumstances would
they open their stores in the evening
unless they were benefited thereby.
Again they complain of tyellow y
card, issued by the union, which they
term Favorable list and which is,
according to the merchants, both I'M
fair and improper.
There are merchants, so the en-
ployers claim whose, names do not ap-
pear upon the list, but who close their
stores at and $50 p. m. These cards
are said to be freely circulated among
union men in this neigborhood.
"We cannot be dictated to by the
clerks, said a merchant, ''for if we
did, we might as well retire from busi-
ness. Competition is too sharp these
days to sub-let our business, and be.
sides no one can manage man S affairs
as well as himself. For all that he has
is in his business, and to destroy that
means to destroy him.
! On the other hand the clerks urge
that their requests are in no wise in
consistent with fair and reasonable
| treatment from employers. They de-
sire to work in harmony with the men
who furnish them with means of liveli'
hood and claim that they would take
no action, make no demands that
would in anyway interfere with the
business of their employers
Among the demands of the clerks is
the one that merchants close theil
stores at $50 O'Clock during the sum
mer months. Some of the merchants
are now doing this, but others are not
1t is also said TO be among the plans oi
the union to establish an arbitration
board, so that a clerk may not be dis
charged without cause. They will
also ask that none but union clerks bC
given employment in the stores of the
city.

GRANTED THE INJUNCTION.
Vice. Chancellor Pitney Expresses
Himself at Considerable Length
Ia Dover Boycott case.

Vice-Chancellor Pitney rendered his
decision in the Dover Injunction case
as told in last weeks Chronicle, late
Friday afternoon. He made the in
junction permanent with costs of the
court to the defendant In giving his
decision, the Vice-Chancellor de-
nounced the methods used by the
Clerks Union in endeayoring toeoerce
merchants into doing things, without
right or authority. He said because
people criticised labor unions the or
ganization blacklisted them as en-
emies of labor, and treated them as
such
"No inyididual on individuals, un-
ions or organizations of any kind, ;"
said the Vice-Ch&ncellor, "have a
right unless delegated with legal power
to demand of a man to do so and so,
and not to do so and SO
"In this case which is nothing less
than boycott" Continued the court,
stthe president OF the Central Labor
Federation of Dover, the president
and secretary Of the Dover Clerks
Union called on Martin for the pur-
pose of demanding that he sign an
agreement, and he grew mad and told
them he would ran mis- own business
and ordered them ont of his store and
he was justified in doing SO. Only a
philosopher would look at the matter
calmly and say to himself, they are
fools and asses, and turn from them
without speaking his mind, The
trouble is,an injunction does not reach
this class of people. In my judgment,
the Clerks Association of Dover made
radical and almost irremediable mis-
take in the start, They sent Mr..
Martin circular which contained res
olutions demanding this and that, and
on which was printed, that the officers
would call upon him in person for the
purpose of entering into an agree
ment, y "That word demand is often
sive, " said the Vice-Chancellor.
1t is not known whether the union
will carry the case any further or not.
