HEARST LOSES
IN NEW JERSEY
Democrats DisapprOve OF
Acts of His Agents and
Select Parker Delegation
UNIT RULE is INDORSED
Jurist Wins Convention
Because Party Spirit OF
the Members Was Aroused

TRENTON, n. j., April 14.-After
showing under the followers Of Will
liam r. Hearst, the New Jersey
Democratic State Convention this
afternoon selected a delegation that
will favor Judge Parker for the
Democratic Presidential nomination.
The delegation was not instructed, but
the Parker forces succeeded in putting
through a unit rule resolution, and,
as they have a majority of delegates,
the vote of New Jersey will be cast for
the New York jurist.
When the convention adjourned
there were pending before 1t two reso-
lutions, one indorsing former Presi-
dent Cleveland and the other indors-
ing Parker. The majority sentiment
of the convention, however, was that
as long as the unit rule was to be en-
forced no further action should be
taken Rather than vote on either the
Parker or the Cleveland resolutions
the convention adjourned.
The sentiment of the State at pres
ent is undoubtedly for Parker.
1t was manifest early in the day
that the Hearst forces would not cut
much of a figure. The announcement
last night by Hearst's agents that a
contesting delegation would be sent to
ST. Louis and that another convention
would be held to-day in Masonic, Hall
did not meet with the approval of the
Democrats who reside in New Jersey
and who were fighting for Hearst.
They are willing to fight to the limit
for Hearst, but they were not willing
to bolt their party for him and some
of them were hot this morning when
they read of the plans of the Hearst
agents.
The Hearst men bolted their party's
action and held a ''rump" convention
of their own and elected four dele
gates at large, but accepted the dis
trict delegates chosen by the regular
convention

REPLY OF THE CARMEN TO MANAGER CHAPMAN MAY
PRECIPITATE CRISIS IN STREET RAILWAY SITUATION
Union Intentionally Misleading the Public,
Ayers Manager Chapman.

Manager Chapman spent some time
last evening in digesting the address
given out by the Garments Union. In
a statement in behalf of the United
Railroads, which was issued from the
offices of the company at a late hour
last night, Manager Chapman declares
the union to have Intentionally mis-
represented the situation in order to
mislead the public. He says:
or course 1 cannot say who is the author
OF this statement. made on behalf of the car
men. but 1t is unfairly misleading Ii ms
states and distorts facts and while every
misstatement is calculated to favor the car
mems claims II might be unjust to say they
have Intentionally misrepresented the actual
facts
The public knows the arbitration award is
only few months old. The public knows
that the only reason given in the award for
Increase was to secure Industrial peace
The public knows we have lived up to the
award and given II the broadest interpreta-

not know of the constant >nagging TO Wnicn

This whole thing pals upon me. as IT mus mus
upon the public We are tired OF nearing:
Give US all we ask and you can have peace.
and 'If you don't give US all we ask. tne'
you are trying to disrupt our union.
Thirty seven days were consumed in taxing
testimony for the arbitration proceedings.
Every possible detail was entered into with
the most painstaking by both sides. Elac-
crate Investigations were made ana recorded.
Witnesses were brought from distant cities.
and then, with much pains, briefs We're pre-
pared and attorneys dispatched to New York
to argue the questions involved. Three days
were consumed in argument the carmens at
torney having the opening and closing. The
arbters took the case under consideration FOR
some weeks and finally the award giving the
present scale made public November g..
19O3-about five months ago
AS we have said the only reason stated In
the award for increasing the already high rate
of wages paid by this company was the plain
ly expressed desire on the part of Mr.. Straus
to secure prolonged Industrial peace and In
harmony with that award we have offered to
continue the award under the broadest and
most liberal construction.

to the hack situation during the day.
In front of the Palace Hotel a lone
hack opposed the many automobiles
which had been pressed into service,
and though the driver had little call for
his services, owing to the fact that he
was barred from accepting calls from
the carriage company, he maintained
his vigil on top of his vehicle through
out the day and late into the night
At the, ferry some unpleasantness
and a great deal of inconvenience to
the public was caused by the lockout.
The police would not accord the auto
mobiles the same privileges the hacks
had enjoyed, and the former deposited
their passengers some feet fr-m the en-
trance to the ferry building and many
were thus drenched by the showers
The situation, however, will be reme-
died to-day.

day morning. These hacks belonged to
Individual members of the union; those

Following the action taken by the
Stablemen's Association Wednesday

meeting last night in B'nai Birth Hall
at which it was decided that a deter

demands of the union be maintained.

OREGON AGAINST HEARST.
Sweek's Forces Routed i'm the State
Convention at Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, April IA. = By the
narrow margin of three votes, the
Sweek forces lost control of the Demo-
cratic convention in Hibernia Hall this
morning, after one of the most hotly
contested battles local Democracy has
experienced in several years. AS Sweek
and his following have been looked on
as the champions of William Randolph
Hearst in Multnomah County, their de-
feat may be considered as a victory for
the anti Hearst element. AS a conse-
quence the name of the man from
California was not mentioned in the
convention, nor did the platform in
dorse any one for the Presidency.
The principal battle of the conven-

won by L. T. Perry in opposition TO

the coast, for the Office of Sheriff, the
Democrats have made a strong bid for
votes. Ward is very popular and
stands a good chance for election, par
ticularly as two independent Republi-
cans will be in the field besides the
regular candidate.

WAGES OF CARMEN.

A great deal OF misapprehension exists in the
public mind regarding the wages the carmen
receive 1t is commonly supposed that all
the men work ten hours a DAY and conse-
quently receive So 10 50 65 81 so a day,
cording to their rating 271a. 26H %
cents an hour men. 1t is true that they would
receive the amounts specified If they worked
ten hours day but the exigencies of the
street railroad service do not make it practical
BILE to- employ every a like number of
hours At the present time platform mem on
the United Railroads work from two to ten
hours a day consequently they from
80 cents to 81 75 a day. according TO their rat
ing and the number of hours employed:
The lower wage specifed-55 cents-is earned
by what are termed 'trippers," that is men
trips There arc a number of men whose days
earnings frequently amount to only So cents
and others earn but 81 20 day Aside from
the ''trippers the men work from eight to
ten hours day.
The wage schedule proposed by the union
would give an increase of 8 and 10 per cent
to about one-fourth of the United Railroads
employees There are about AGO men now in
the 27%-cent class and their wages would, of
course, remain they are now
The statement also deals with all
the other phases of the situation which
have been more or less before the pub
lie since the first differences over the
arbitration award threatened a breach
between the United Railroads and the
Garments Union. 1t is issued as a re-
ply to the recent statement of Manager
Chairman.

WOULD NOT HURT COMPANY.

These are a few of the reasons why the
union asks that arbitration board be pro-
vided for in order that unprejudiced and
disinterested party might pass upon the merits
OF complaints OF unjust discharge or dismissal
The company in refusing to accede TO this
request. insists that to grant It would mean a
surrender Of its inherent right employer
TO hire and discharge whom it pleased.
The union, again fortified by experience OF
the last two years. contends that. In practice.
the arbitration system proposed would not de-
prive the company Of the right OF hiring and
dscharging whom IL pleased-provided the

mentary principles of justice in passing on

principle" and they affect to believe that to
agree TO the arbitration plan would be to take
a long step in the direction OF establishing the
union shop" system in the United Railroads
service.
After dealing with the question OF
union recognition and the hostile atti-
tude, as the union puts il, of Manager
Chapman to that body since the de-
cision of Arbitrator Straus, the state
ment continues:
The major grievance of the union man is the
fact that the non-union man is constant and
grave menace TO the life of the union itself
the instrument by which the employer may
take from the union man all that he has
cured through his organization. Knowing this
to be true. and knowing that the policy being
pursued by the United Railroads will, II carried
TO ITS logical conclusion inevitably result in the
disruption OF their union-leaving their wages

United Railroads give their organization bona

by them.

mission TO join 1t may well be considered as a
privilege OF doubtful value.
Trades unionism is ra pdy becoming a mat
ter of business, and that employer who falls

question of his relation to his labor or his
employees which he gives to the other factors
which enter into the conduct of his business
makes a mistake, which sooner or later he
will be obliged TO correct. In this as in other
things. il is much better to start right than to
make mistakes in starting, which necessitate

that the full the recognition given to

According to a report from Cettinje,
Montenegro, published by the Neues
Wiener Journal, Vienna, King Peter of
Servia is prepared to renounce the throne
and allow the powers to nominate his
successor The Prince Of Montenegro is
said to have received a mandate from
Russia to dear up the precarious situa-
ton in Servia, and King Peter is alleged
TO recognize the untenability of his posi-
ton and to he willing to abdicate. His
successor, it is added, will be permitted
to ascend the throne only Oh agreeing to
punish the leaders of the conspiracy
which resulted in the assassination of
King Alexander and Queen Draga, re-
moving all those who were directly or
indirectly concerned in the regicide. The
statement published in the Neues Wiener
journal is not confirmed. but all reports
indicate that affairs in Servia are grow
ing worse and causing the geatest anX-
iety III Russia and Austria. The Servian
conspirators are said to be openly threat
ening to take revenge on Europe by join
ing in the expected Macedonian outbreak
in the spring. The internal condition of
Servia is alarming. Outside the towns
life and property are insecure, and the
roads are infested with brigands.

AS a result of a death pact Louis
Bohnlofnk, the Amateur Athletic Union
champion runner, smothered his 19-year-
old wife Mabel in a room at the Boule-
ward Hotel, New York, and then killed
himself by turning on the gas. Their
bodies were found in the room the next
morning. There was no indication OF
struggle. Rambling letters written by
Bohnlofnk and found on a table lnd1-
Gated that the couple had made death
pact. Bohnlofnk wrote that his mother
in-law had caused him and his wife to
end their lives. Mrs. Bohnlotink was
fully dressed when found dead. But her
husband had taken off his coat. Her
mouth and nostrils were stuffed with cot
ton and her head was bound in a blanket.
There were no marks of violence on her
and her features were composed. After
killing her Bohnlofnk, it appeared, turn

the selection Of st. Louis seems to indi-
cate that Mr.. Germans friends are on
the defensive, because they turned to st.
Louis out Of fear Of the possibility of a
