SAYS FACTORY WILL Be
OPEN TO ALL WORKERS
Big Exeter Shoe Plant Discharges En-
tire Force TO Balk New Union.

EXETER, y. H, Feb 12.-Gen-
Stephen Gale. owner of the Gale shoe
factory, has discharged his entire force
OF men. numbering between six hundred
and seven hundred. 4 branch Of the
Boot end Shoe Workers Union had
been established in this city recently
and the organizers made no secret Of
their intention OF posting a pricelist in
the Cole factory and Of demanding its
adoption. II the union had failed TO en-
force its demands upon General Gale a
strike was to be ordered.
JUST before noon, Tuesday, General
Gale called the lasters together and
told those who were members OF the
union. which included ali, TO finish up
their cases and quit work. He thea said
that his factory had always been n free
shop. open to all workers. irrespective
OF color, race, creed, or politics. and ii
must so remain This. he said. Was
the American policy.
He said he believed in unions where
they were intended to benefit the opera
tives. but he thought any difficulty aris-
ing between employer and employee
could best be settled between them
selves. and all previous troubles in the
Gale shop had been so adjusted.
While the siatuation Is practically a
lockout. the Gale management does not
so pronounce %. as the men may have
work Immediately whenever they agree
to settle any trouble by direct appeal
to the ONCE or through a committee OF
their own choosing.

POSTMASTER BAUMHOFF
MAY BE REAPPOINTED
Claims on ST. Louis Position
to Be Decided Tomorrow.

The fate of Postmaster F. ". Baum
hoff of st. Louis will be decided at the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow.

postmasters throughout the country on
account OF :he approaching St. Louis
Exposition. when the Office will require
the services of man OF experience and
one we'll versed In the intricacies Of the
service.
Mr.. Baumhoh brings to the Postofice
Department the recommendation OF num-
bers OF the business men of the city
for TeappOintment- He claims that the
opposition is the work of small poll
ticians who desire his downfall.
Numerous charges Of alleged irregu-
larities in connection with the civil
service have been filed against him. and
these have been submitted 10 Commits
sioner Foulke. The Commissioner. after
making a thorough examination, has
made report 10 the President. which
will be taken up at the Cabinet meet

terday that it is well understood that a
conspiracy exists 10 defeat the reap
pointment OF Mr. Baumhoff. He said that
the services OF the postmaster were re-
garded as well performed. The St.

the department as model one. The ell

advanced charges Of discrimination in
the promotion and appointment OF
clerks. but the source of these charges
had been found 10 be among a small
Coterie OF politicians.
It Is thought reasonably certain that
the recommendation OF Commissioner
Foulke was favorable one and that
Mr. BaumhOff will be TeappOinted-
