CHILDREN CRIED "sCAB''
And Mrs. Otto Sigwart Gave One of
Them Cutting Waived Hearing and
Gave Bond.

Mrs. Otto Sigwart was arrested
yesterday tn warrant issued by
Justice Shoemaker, in which she
was charged witt assault and bat
terry. Alexander Gershman was the
prosecuting witness and the victim
of the alleged assault.
The case came up for hearing at
nine o'clock this morning. Van A..
Barrickman, Mrs. Sigwart'S attor-
ney, made a motion to waive a
hearing, and the defendant gave
bond of 800 to answer an indict-
ment before the grand jury at the
October term OF court.
The alleged assault for which Mrs
Sigwart was arrested, was commit
ted about six o'clock Wednesday
evening. Some children were quar-
reling outside the house, and in
dnlging in free for all fight The
Sigwart children were called "scabs"
and when Mrs. Sigwart appeared,
Alexander Gershman, a boy 2 or Ia
years repeated the cry of scab, and
used other and harsher language to
her. Mrs Sigwart promptly grab
bed him and gave him a good thrash
ing, tearing his clothes and brulsing
him considerably. This led to her
arrest on the charge of assault.
Otto Sigwart is director of the
Seneca factory, and glass blower,
and he and his two sons are work
ing during the present strike. This
led to the charge of "scab'' by chill
dren of union parents. On waving
hearing, the attorney gave the
present i'll feeling on account of
labor troubles as the reason.

Had to Levy for Taxes.

Sheriff Greenberry Barrickman
states that he has had to use some
measures more or less harsh to cot
lect taxes from people in different
parts of the county. In several in
stances, he has been compelled to
levy on property, in order to get
amounts promised him time ard
time again. This procedure has
had wholesome effect however, and
many that ere behind with their
taxes are now coming forward to
pay up. The money is needed badly.

EVERYTHING READY,
For a Start at the Morgantown
Tin Plate Company.
Conditions of the bar Market Coupled
With Low Prices for Finished Pro-
duct ana Unsettled Conditions on
Wall Street has Delayed the Start of
Manufacture.


The plant Of the Morgantown Tin
Plate Company above town is finished
and ready to run. A few minor
matters remain to receive attention
but this will take very little time.
One of the officers OF the company
was seen this orning by this paper
and was asked about the factory and
prospects for start.
He stated that the factory would be
ready to start Immediately il condi-
tions justified. "The bar market is
too high aud the market for tin plate
is too low to enable us to run at a
profit under present conditions, he
said.
"Blllets are worth $35 to independ-
ent people. Tin plate is low and
this has caused us to delay. The
conditions In the general market have
also been discouraging. We look for
improvement and will be ready to start
as soon as things settle bitn.
In reply to the question as to
whether or not the plant has been
built to sell he said, 1.-The plant was
built TO run and it will run. | look
for it to start some time this fall but
just when | don't know"
'sOf course il Will be sold If the
proper price is given for it.. Anything
is for sale If enough money is offered
for it. But that was not the idea.
We have Increased the size of the
plant since first beginning construct
ion and instead of building six mill
plant have built one with ten mills.
1.-THE number Of men which are to
be employed in the mill will be about
1900. The machinery which has
been installed is of the very best and
all of it is new"
"None of the independent plants
aside from Jones and Laughlin are
doing very much at present. There
are "A independent plants in the
country. Some time ago plan was
on foot to get together but what has
been dohe about it | cannot tell. y
"Mr. Humbert is expected in today
and he may have something to tell US
about his plans but at present we are
rather in the dark.
"You may depend on it however that
the factory will be started and when
it does start there will be quite a
change in industrial conditions about
Morgantown."
"Some time ago the factory chang
ed its charter one under the laws of n.
Jersey to one incorporated ander the
laws of this state.

TWO CENTS
TOO MANY GLASSWORKERS
Is What Union Men Fear From
open" Factories.

4
Strike Three Fifths of the Glass
Workers Learning Trade In open
House Want to Control Number Of
Apprentices -Manufacturer Side.
Most people who are not derectly
interested in the glass business, do
not have very clear understanding
of why the Union glass workers at
the Economy Tumbler Company's
and Seneca Glass Company's plant
are out on stubborn strike. They
have refused to work because the
companies have declared their in
rention of running eopen
The reasons for the strike from
the Union stand point were stated
TO the New DOMINION yesterday by
Fred Bishop, who has the thing in
charge. He said I'VE object to I'M
ion men working with non union
men because it tends to disorganiza-
ton. There are only two factor
les in the country in which it is done.
The unions allow their men to work
in these not only when work is scarce
and can not get in union houses.
Further, we let them go in because
they nave chance co organize the
labor there and make them part Of
the union. Every time there is a
strike at these factories we get lot
of men into the Union. And we dom
want to many men in the trade"
There are eleven union factories
and two non-union where that make
the same line of ware made at the
Economy and the Seneca. There are
at Mount Pleasant and Tiffin. Three
fifths of all the men in our union
learned their trade in these non
union houses. There is the real
secret of our strike. The non union
houses take in as many apprentices
as they like. They teach them the
trade in year while we require two
years. This increases the number
of men in our trrde and is sure To
cut down the price we get for labor.
In order to keep up the price, We try
and non union or open houses are
antagonistic to this. Ii the supply
of glass blowers gets beyond the
demand, the price Of labor is sure to
fall. In Union houses the number of
apprentices is limited
This then is the cause of the pres
ent strike in Morgantown. 1t is
1t is simply one of number of eff
forts to keep down the number of
skilled glass workers to keep up the
price of labor.
The manufacturers side of the sit
uation is easily started. They want
to run their factories to suit them
selves-give employment to union
and non union men alike, pay as
much as any other factory, take 10
as many apprentices as. they like and
recognize no authority outside them
selves in determining their matters.

THE NEW TWO-CENT STAMP.
Will Contain American Flag for
First Time Since 1860.

For the first time since 1869 the post
office department, with the issuance Of
the new series of stamps now in prepar-
alton, will make use of the American
flag in one of the two cent stamps,
which, by the way, will bear little re-
semblance to the one now current. The
familiar portrait of Washington will be
succeeded by photograph taken from
Gilbert Stewards famous painting. The
bust of Washington, so long known to
the stamp using public, was drawn from
Hudson's profile casts. Stamp experts
think that this new two-cent stamp,
with it's superb likeness of Washington,
its draped flag, it's wreaths Of laurel
leaves in the lower corners and the
general balance of text and artistic
effect, together with the remarkable ex-
cellcnce and mechanical work, will
make the finest postage stamp ever pro-
duced.

NEGRO DEATH RATE.
Census Report In Washington
Show Death Reports More
Frequent Than Births.

A Washington dispatch says: In
view of the discussion of the race prob
lem, it is interesting to know that the
vital statistics of the twelfth census
show that the death rate exceeds the
number Of births among the negroes in
practically every city in the county IS
remarkable extent. In Chicago there
We're $50 births and go deaths among
the negro population in 1900. This
makes the excess of 300. Negro births
in st. Louis in the same year were 594,
while the deaths exceeded them 81. In
New York City the excess Of negro
deaths over the births was $40, in Bos-
ton 81, Washington FOL, New Orleans
1,575.
OF ffty-six cities reported by the
census in all parts of the country, the
birth rate among negroes is greater
than the birth rate in fifty cities. The
remaining six cities are nearly all
places with very small population
where the excess in birth rate might be
accounted for by accidental falling OIL
in the death rate for that particular
year. Students and economists are
asking whether this excess OF deaths
over births will gradually bring about
extinction OF the negro race.
