STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Demands Of Union Bottlers Conceded
and All Now Quiet and Serene.

The union bottlers Of this city who were
called out on a strike yesterday morn
ing as was told in The Star exclusively
yesterday afternoon. have been granted
every demand made upon the Protective
Bottlers Association and resumed work
this morning with a lay-of of only twelve
hours.
Representatives Of the bottlers and Bot
tiers Association had a conference late
yesterday afternoon and arrived at a quick
and satisfactory agreement.
The following concessions are made to
the bottlers: They must work under a scale
of eight hours per day during the fall and
winter and ten hours per day during the
spring and summer thus averaging nine
hours per day throughout the year. Here
tofore the bottlers have been required in
most instances to work the full ten hours
per day. and, in some breweries, 1t Is
stated. the men have been compelled to
render over time labor without remunera-
ton. The agreement therefore obviates all
differences In this direction. and the number
of working hours Is made uniform. The
bottlers have also been granted an increase
Of 81 90 per week in wages. and the fixing
of minimum wage scale Of SO per week.
This contract Is signed both by the repre-
sentatives Of the bottlers and by all the
local breweries. The managers Of the out
of-tOwn brewerfes. Anheuser Busch, Pabst
and Schlitz. have agreed to sign the agree
ment. but will not do so until their general
managers signify their approval.
MI. Louis Hamper. secretary of the In
ternational Union of United Brewery Work
ers of Cincinnati. has been in Washington
during the past week trying to bring an
end to the dispute. He made frequent calls
upon the officers and representatives of
the Protective Bottlers Association. and
many conferences were held. all of which
proved futile. Hamper, 1t is said, had
threatened to call out the bottlers and
made final demand Thursday upon the
local brewers to met the demands of the
men. but all the propositions were received
with deaf ear Thursday evening Mr..
Hamper called the bottiers together in a
secret meeting and then and there called a
strike among all the union bottlers of the
city about 125 in number. He also promised
to back them up in the strike by calling
out the union drivers and brewers If all
their demands were not met. and had this
been resorted to the strike might have
assumed large proportions

SUIT FOR ANNULMENT.
Court Asked to Set Aside an Agree
ment and a Deed.


Thomas NJ. Wallis and Eliza Wylie this
afternoon instituted proceedings In equity
against James E. Mulcare. Frank s. Bright,
William r. Wallis and Bartholomew w.
Wallis The court is asked to declare null
and void a certain agreement. and a deed.
The agreement was between John ]. Noun
teney and James E. Mulcare. and the deed
was from Mounteney to Frank s. Bright.
Both documents were executed November
o. 1901. BY the deed. it is alleged Noun
teney conveyed premises 1903 H street to
Bright and by the agreement Mulcare was
to provide for Mounteney during the lat
ter's lifetime. 1t is set forth that no con-
sideratio passed between the parties.
AT the time of making the agreement and
the deed. 1t is charged. Mounteney. because
OF age and ill-health. was incapable of en-
tering into a valid contract. 1t Is further
more commended that at the time he had
been drinking to excess. He lived in q
airy g. 1902 while alone, he was burned to
death.
1t Is stated that Mounteney left as his
sole heirs-at-law the complainants. Thomas
M. Wallis and Eliza M. Wylie, and the de-
PENDANTS, William r. Wallis and Bartholo-
NEW w. Wallis. being nephews and niece
Of the deceased The complainants claim
that the defendants not being citizens Of
the United States inherited no interest in
the property involved. 1t Is sought by the
compliments to compel the deciding Of the
property to them as heirs at-law Of the de-
ceased. entitled to the same.
Attorneys John c. Cuttings, D. w. Baker
and w. P. Williamson represent the COM
plainants.

NEW LINE OF STUDY
EFFECT ON FOODS OF LONG CON.
TINUED COLD STORAGE
DR.. Wiley Will Begin Another Invesd-
cation Of Preservatives, Making
Practical Tests ON Volunteers.

DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist OF
the Department OF Agriculture. has pre-
pared plans for the study OF the food-3re-
serving problem from another point than
that Of adulteration or preparation with the
aid of chemical ingredients. His intention
Is to make extended Investigations OF food
preservation by cold storage and steriliza-
ton. and to this end he will acquire q
quantity Of many varieties of foods. and at
the end of certain periods will cook them In
the kitchen at the bureau Of chemistry and
serve them to a jury or juries Of volunteers
from the government service in this city.
The effects Of the foods will be noted. and
the length of time which they have been
preserved will be observed for comparison.
DIR. Wiley says that he is of the opinion
that food should not be preserved for more
than a year. after which time he believes 1t
certainly deteriOrates. and must naturally
be harmful. He thinks that meats are gen.
orally improved by cold storage OF few
weeks duration. but that after that length
OF time the highest point of excellence will
have been attained. and In nOurishing quail
tiles they begin to go down the scale. The
present method Of preserving fruits. meats.
vegetables and the like Is by cold storage
or sterilization. and for half dozen years
they are frequently kept before being con-
sumed. In many instances great Gamers
and packers take advantage OF prolific fruit
years and preserve large quantities for use
when the seasons are not so lavish or dur
Ing the winters of several years to come.
DR.. Wiley does not believe that food pre-
served for such length of time can be bene-
fetal to human health, and he does think
that 1t Is probably detrimental His expert
ments. therefore. will be conducted with a
view to determining from scientific deduc-
tons the truth of his surmise.
He said that 1t seemed to be the idea OF
many persons that food was made to be
preserved. and II that was the case he
would like to know for what reason the
several seasons were arranged. If not that
nature might supply fresh food stuffs once
every year. This being the habit of nature,
he argued that nothing intended for hui
man consumption should be preserved for
more than one year He did not insist that
cold storage invariably spoiled food so pre-
served. but believed that 1t was very likely
to do SO. and that such preserved foods. in
many instances. after long remaining in the
can. developed ptomaines
The experiments will continue at least a
year. and in that time DR.. Wiley hopes to
experiment upon all. or almost all. of the
many food products preserved by American
and foreign packers.

WOULD PREVENT DISASTER.
slocum Fire Subject Of Anonymous
Communication.

A Washington physician. who signs his
communication with the initials ''E. 8. NJ"
has written to Commissioner Mcfarland
suggesting plan to avoid disasters such as
occurred in the case of the excursion steam
er General Slocum recently.
The writer suggests that excursion steam
ers be fitted with a cable on each side of
the boat, fastened at tie bow and stern
and hanging near the water. Depending
from the cables, the writer would have
ropes two or three feet in length at regular
intervals, each with large knot at its OK
tremity.
When the cable was hanging ready for
emergency use," says the writer, the small
ropes would be Of such length that their
ends would nearly or quite touch the
water, but normally the cables would be
topped up in several places by ropes reach
ing to tie lower deck Gnd fastened with
a sipknot or ready to be cut Free.
BY tho use Of this life-saving device. the
writer declares, a majority of the Slocums
passengers would have been saved from
drowning. because that boat was beached
inside of ten minutes. and in the water the
passengers would have been protected
against the flames, heat and smoke.
The writer requisite Commissioner Mac
farland to think 1t over.
