hope that all questions in regard to
the scale of wages and hours Will be
arranged before tonight.
There was meeting of the Build
ing Trades Council last night at which
all the labor questions were thoroughs
ly discussed. Just what decisions
were reached the members refuse 20
tell, but if the demands of the men
are not granted, it is said, ali the four
unions will go out on strike. M
When A. A. Quinn, the general
labor organizer Of this district, was
seen by ain Evening News reported
yesterday afternoon, he said as far az
he knew allsof the bosses would grant
the demands of the men with the exs
ception of the boss painters and inst
what they will do Mr.. Quinn could
not say. @
There are four unions which have
made requests of their bosses. tl.aR
are Painters. .Prassers and Finishes,
Mason Tenders and Ooncreters, and
Lathers.
When several bosses were seen they
refused to discuss the matter saying
that tomorrow morning everything

DESIRED TO
APPLY LASH.
Recorder PiCkersgiII Says the
Delaware Punishment the
Proper Thing.
HANS OLSEN in JAIL.

Another wife beater in the person
of Hans Olsen got into the tolls of the
police last night and when arraigned
before Recorder Pickersgill this morn
ing he was held in default of $500 bail
to await the action of the grand jury
in September.
The Olsen have six small children.
When his wife appeared against him
in court this morning he begged her
not to press the charge this time and
he would be good but she refused to
listen to his pleadings.
Recorder Pickersgill delivered one
of the severest reprimands to Olsen
that he has ever yet given to any wife
beater. He cried shame upon the
man who, upon being married twelve
years, would be guilty of treating his
wife and family the way he had. The
recorder then declared he wished he
only had the power he would order
the man stripped of his shirt and lash
ed as they do in Delaware.
To all this Olsen made no reply and
he was led back to Jail. His wife,
in the meantime, swore out COM
plant in which she charged her hus-
band with repeated cruelties. +.
Detective Huff arrested the man last
night on charge of non-support. In
this she alleged that her husband re-
fused to go to work this week and
that he had already spent for drink
eleven of the thirteen dollars ne earn.
ed last week, some of which he had
taken from her with force.
The recorder said he fixed the bail
high so rs to keep the man in jail and
away from his wife as long as posi-
BILE. The wife says she will be a. sgrea
deal better off without him eye
though they are in the poorest of GU
cumstances.

HER HYMNS WERE SUNG.
Her Work Among the Railroad Men Was
Described and She Recited Some of
Her POems-Miss Crosby FavOrs q
YIN. c.. A. and Offered Her Assistance
in Getting it Established.

Miss Fanny Crosby was enthusias-
tically received by large audience
in Simpson NJ. E. church last night.
She spoke of her work and recited
several of her poems. For a woman,
eighty-three years of age, her ability
to travel and address meetings is con-
sidered wonderful.
Before Miss Crosby spoke Rev. S.
Trevena Jackson introduced W. G.
Rock, whom Miss Crosby is visiting
in this city. Mr.. Rock spoke briefly
of the great work Miss Crosby had
done among railroad men.
When Miss Crosby arose to speak
she was greeted with applause. When
talking of the railroad men she said
they had always been, and wouldlcon-
tinue to be her boys After talk
ing of her work among them for some
time, telling how they were treated
very unjustly by the great mass of
people of this world, and that they
were the most accommodating fellows
in the world, if they were only taken
in the right way, Miss Crosby told
of her work in connection with Mr..
Sankey and how they had travelled
from place to place to help the rail
readers. -En7
A number of Miss 94x's hymns
were sung by tholthoir. WNe<SzT
had finished Miss Crosby recited a
number of her poel..s The audience
was much pleased with these and
some were greatly moved.
In speaking of the Y. NJ @. A. Miss
Crosby said:
81 understand that in Perth Amboy
you have no Y. M. G. A. Now i
know what good it does and want
you to have one. If the movement is
once started I know it will prove q
grand success here as it has in the
many other cities. If can help you
in any way want to do it, for want
this city to have Y. Nj. @. A.
The books of poems by Miss Crosby,
of which there were just twenty -four
copies last night, were readily sold at
the close of the meeting.

The Boat Men Want More Wages
And Ten Hours For a
IT, Days Work.
HAVE SERIOUS EFFECT.
All Tug Boat Men in this HarhOr Said to
Belong to the Union and II Necessary,
will 90 out With the Rest-wIii Have
Serious Results on Commerce Of the
Nation.

Should the threatened strike of the
tug boat engineers go into effect in
New York tomorrow morning, every
tug boat in and around this
harbor as we'll as that of New York,
will be tied up. The metropolitan
press predict that should the strike
last but forty -eight hours the damage
that would be sustained to the ship
ping and commerce of New York
could not be estimated and should it
last longer the results would simply
be disastrous and the greater city
would face a famine in many perish
able articles of food.
The extent of the strike would de-
pend entirely upon the harmful effect
it would have upon the commerce of
the country and should it go through,
the effect it would have upon Perth
Amboy could not be estimated at this
time. FRI 9e a
1t is said that every engineer ION a
tug boat, whether it be one of the
regular Lehigh, Pennsylvania or pri-
vate lines belong to the union and If
the strike is ordered tomorrow morn
ing they will go out with the rest.
This will affect the docks both here
and at South Amboy, because when
the boats cannot be moved there would
be nothing to load. and the Shipping at
both of these places would be tied up
The cause of the whole trouble is
the refusal of the tug boat owners
association to grant the demands of
the engineers union which is ten
hours instead of twelve for days
work and more pay. The owners say
it is impossible to entertain such de-
mands as there is no figuring on the
tides in fixing the scale of wages in
the way they suggest.

definite effort will be made to bring
this matter to an amiable settlement
just what shape this action will take
could not be learned but whatever it
may be it is limited that mandamus
proceedings will be the result, which
is said TO be the quickest way out of
the difficulty.
The teachers are becoming alarmed
and some of them have already made
inquiries OF Mayor Seaman as to, how
they could best manage in case they
do'not get their money tomorrow.

VARRELMANN'S CRY FOR
LABOREHS ANSWERED.
Applications for street-Cieaning jobs
Increasing slowly, Many Men
Deing Needed.

Street Commissioner Varrelmann says
the newspaper articles about his inability
to secure Iaborers to clean the streets have
done him a world of good. Yesterday he
had about fifty applicants. and the day De-
fore he engaged about twenty-five. If the
record continues. he says, he Will In
weeks time have all the men he needs
AS was stated in The Republic Wednes-
day. the Street Commissioner discovered
dearth of laborers when he set about to
employ several hundred men to clean the
macadamized streets at s1.5o a day. Not
man responded to his call for help. and he
was at a loss to know what he should do
with the $4,000 appropriated for this
branch of street work.
Immediately after the article appeared in
print Mr.. Varrelmann was besieged by
small army Of would-be street cleaners. but
when the applicants were informed that
they would have to equip themselves with
shovel, pick and broom most of them de-
clined the proffered jobs. although they
were assured that they could have work
throughout the spring
Mr.. Varrelmann would like to hire sew
eral hundred men right away, he says, but
will be satisfied if applicants only continue
at the rate they have been coming in the
last few days.

obviously it must accept the men who come to the
front in the wards. In wards which can be controlled
by good citizens these good people must learn to act
with courage and political submit to venaty
in the House Of Delegates until radical change can
be made in the charter.
One pary's pot. calling the others kettle black in
the matter of House nominations imposes on nobody.
The House has party politics, and House nominal
lions have next to In one place gang runs
with the Democratic machine and in another place
another gang with the Republican machine, but all
the time union of the gangs is more faternal than
the union Of any gang with a party.
Is it conceivable that the Republican party has
invented plan for nominating men who will insure
a goodgovernment House of Delegates? If such
plan has been matured and produces high-cia caf
didates, The Republic will warmly support them. But
where are the hgh-class men the lists filed?
