SIX DOLLAR MEN STRIKE
Tile Layers Further CompEcate
Building Trades Troubles.

Hopes Of an arnicable adjustment Of the
building trades difficulties and resumption Of
work were shattered by the announcement
yesterday that in addition to the unsatisfactory
outcome Of the conference between the labor
leaders and the employers Monday night
another strike had been precipitated. This
strike called by William H Farley, a
former secretary Of the Building Trades Asso-
citation, and now walking delegate for the Tile
Layers Union The strike went into effect at
once, and directly concerned about one hundred
men working IN the city. The condition Of this
branch of the trade makes the strike seem all
the more surprising, for the members Of the
union. who number 500. all get from So to Sc 80
day, and their hours are frequently as short as
six. Immediately after the strike was an
nounced d conference was called at the En-
ployers' Associations rooms of the Tile, Crate
and Mantel Association. and after the meeting
Secretary Bogert said:
I'VE are utterly surprised at this action. We
have no adequate explanation Of it and cant

COUNSELLED LYNCHING.
Minister SAID 1t Would Be Right
If Lac Did Not Punish.

Wilmington, Del, June 23-The Rev. Robert
A ElWood. pastor of the Olivet Presbyterian
Church, preached a sensational sermon on the
probable lynching of White last Sunday even

IONS the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial.

Tonight he is in Jail with armed guards parading

OF September. Is that speedy. Is that even con-
sttutional? Oh. honorable judges. call the court,
es1ao lsh precedent, and the girls of this State
hreside and our beloved sisters VIII not be sorry,
and neither will you.
And. honorable judges, Il you do not hear and
heed these appeals and that prisoner should be
taken out and lynched. then let say to you.
with full realization OF the responsibility of my
words; even as Nathan said to King David of old.
after his soldiers had killed Uriah. Thou art the
man. so I would say to you, The responsibility
Tor lynching would be yours for delaying the
execution OF the law
Should the murderer of Miss Bishop be lynched7
Yes but only under condition, and that is this
If his trial shall be delayed until September and
-hen. though he be proven guilty, through some
technicality Of the law any undue influence upon
either Judges or jury he be not given capital pun
ishment then the citizens of the State should arise
IN their might and execute the criminal and thus
uphold the majesty OF the law.

Our farmer readers will find the report
Of the Philadelphia Farmers Institute, in
another column, reported by Mr.. John G.
Whitall, both interesting and instructive
The alleged fact that high-class poultry is a
rare product in the United States, grown in
only a few sections, will be news to some, and
that Swedesboro, this county, is one of the
sections accorded this honor, will be
learned with real interest. 1t was widely
known that Swedesboro section was famous
for its sweet potatoes, water melons, canta-
loupes, handsome girls and fair matrons,
but that it was also one of the few places
in the United States famous for really fine
poultry was not before realized. Neverthe-
less we rejoice that Swedesboro is to be no
longer permitted to hide her light under
bushel.
