Labor difficulties are responsible for
the closing down indefinitely yesterday
of the Morse Iron Works and Dry Dock
Company, in Brooklyn, one of the lar
cest concerns Of It's kind on the Atlantic
coast. President Edward j. Morse at
tributes the blame to the walking dele
gates. He said: "On account OF con
tjnuous labor trouble and consequent
losses. which commenced over a year
ago. we have been compelled to close our
plant Last year we we're working on
contracts amounting to more than 81,
coo, 900, employing about 2,2OO men
and with weekly pay roll Of S2S, 600,
The strikes commenced as soon as the
union discovered our yard was full Of
work. and that we were bound under
penalty to complete our contracts
on time. The troubles began when the
employees demanded and the company
consented to the dismissal of a foreman
who had discharged thirty men for idle
ness. From that time it has been one
continuous succession of strikes, wind
ing up with the machinists' strike OF
Nav 26. which is still on. Nearly all,
if not all, of the shipyarJsin the country
have lost money during the past year or
two. Some have gone into receivers
hands and OTHERS are out of business. In
each case the cause can be traced back to
labor troubles. Since the Rchinists'
strike commenced in May, 0, yard has
been picketed continually, and our busi-
ness has been injured in every way posi-
BILE. Our new men have been assaulted,
and in one case two Of our non-union
men we're badly wounded. simply
state these facts to show why we have
been compelled to close one Of the finest
Giants on the coast, which during the
past few years has paid to the working
men of South Brooklyn millions Of dol
lars -

Now York sfock Market.

New York, Oct ell a M. The
stock speculation this morning has been
of holiday character. There was dull
and generally lower opening, but the
losses were confined to small fractions
and the movement subsequent to the
opening indicated languid disposition
to recover. Discussion still revolves to
a large extent around the action on steel
common dividend. The movements in
the steel issues were not sufficiently de-
cisiye to throw any light from the "ticker
talk" on the problem. The market is
so dull that many issues have had no
quotation and it is wholly without char
acter or significance. Government bonds
unchanged.

WILKES STREET RAILROAD
TRACK.

How much longer are the owners of
property and others interested going TO
allow the Southern Railway Company 20
continue the use of the above street
without entering their protest. Why,
the engines and trains operated by the
above company on Wilkes street shake
the very foundation of the earth. The
ponderous efforts of these heavy engines
to convey trains they are destined 70
draw to points west of this city, will, in
the near future, destroy all of the prop
erty along the line of the above street
as we'll as that located in the immediate
vicinity; seventy ton engines, fifty ton
cars, II to Is cars in each train are oper-
ated day and night throughout the entire
year. That's what the people along
Wilkes street are subjected to by the
Southern Railway Company. A COM
mon council that does not possess a
single element of sovereignty cannot
lawfully grant to any railroad companya
valid right to the use of any street with
out the unar imous consent OF the abutting
property owners. In the case of Page
against Belvin and others, the Supreme
Court of Virginia held that the abutting
properly owners upon Grace street, in
the city of Richmond, Va, were the
owners in fee in front of their lots to
the middle of the street, and in the
case of Hodges VS.. The Seaboard and
Roanoke Railroad Company, the same
Count held that no railroad company
can lay its tracks within sixty feet OF
the dwelling house of any person who
objects. The Court went further and
said if the tracks are already down the
persons who are injured thereby can
demand and recover damages. That is
what the highest judicial authority of
Virginia said Many other interesting
decisions upon the same lines can be
shown. Let the people interested get
together and demand removal of tracks.

Broke the Record.

Berlin, Oct, 6.-The worlds speed
record has again been broken on an
electric railway near Berlin. A 95-ton
car, carrying twenty persons, today made
a speed rate of 1875 miles an hour over
a 90 mile track. Experts say the ex-
periments have proven the safety and
practicability of an electric railway over
which cars can be run at a normal speed
of 95 miles an hour. The sole disad-
vantage of the road would be the double
fares, which would be necessary to cover
the increased cost. Charles Nudge, a
New York engineer, win drive the car

NEW BRITISH CABINET.

Premier Balfour yesterday announced
his new cabinet, but the impression in
political circles in London is that he has
little hope himself of its durability.
The cabinet is as follows.
Mr.. Brodrick, formerly secretary for
war, succeeds Lord George Hamilton as
secretary for India.
Austen Chamberlain, postmaster gen
eral, succeeds Mr.. Richie as chancellor
of the exchequer.
Alfred Lyttleton, recorder of Oxford,
succeeds Joseph Chamberlain as secretary
for the colonies.
H. O. Arnold Forster, secretary to the
Admiralty, succeeds Mr.. Brodrick as
secretary for war.
Graham Murray, lord advocate OF
Scotland, succeeds Lord Balfour of Bur
leigh as secretary for Scotland.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary OF
the War Office, succeeds Austen Cham
berlain as postmaster general.
The Duke of Devonshire, who was
leader of the conservative party in the
House of Loads, resigned the Office Of
lord president of the council, and the
King has accepted his resignation.
With him goes the support of the liberal
unionists. His withdrawal was a shock
to Balfour, who charges him with breach
of faith.

Ter General Of the United States, was

Three indictments were found against
Tyner and his nephew and former as
s;stont in the Postofice Department,

with conspiracy to defraud the govern

against Barrett, charging him with re-

THE employees Of the trolley lines in
New Jersey have rejected a proposition
to strike by an overwhelming majority.
This is not because they are content with
their wages or their long hours of labor.
But they have wisely considered the
priyations involved in a strike as well as
the precarious chances of success. In
commenting upon this action the Phila-
delphia Record well says: "There is
no doubt that many a strike would be
avoided if its initiation could be deter
mined by the votes of those having the
most interest in it and not by the arbi-
trary decree of walking delegate. "
