Striking BriCkIayers and MasOns
Agree to Arbitration and Build
ing is Now Resumed.
GOOD NEWS HERE.
With the Resuming ofActive Work in the
Building Trades in New York the Local
Factories Can Start Men at Work on
Full Time Agan-Strike Threatened to
Tie up Business.

Labor troubles in New York which
for a month have threatened to make
the building season of 1904 repetition
of 1903 with its long and costv strik ke,
were ended yesterday more quickly
than they arose.
The unions of brioklayers and Ia
borers, represen atives of which had
in the early morning held out the
olive branch through its council at a
meeting in New York, approved this
action. Twenty thousand men, skilled
and unskilled, will return to work to-
day, and work on more than $50, 900,
600 tn of new buildings, hampered
for month, will be resumed.
This has a direct effect in Perth
Amboy as, since the strike, many of
the terra Gotta workers have been put
on short time, just as che spring rush
was commencing. The returning to
work of these mechanics will tend to
boom trade all over this section OF the
country.

Now Says He May Vote for the
Pigeon Bill Because of
State CIamOr.
HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Still Declares that Majority 10 MiddIesex
County Is Opposed to the Measure and
If He Votes In Favor of II Ne will be
Against the Wishes of the Majority Of
His Constituents.

Trenton, April Twin 7 you be for
or against the anti-pigeon bill at the
coming special session of the legisla-
ture?" This query was put to Senator
Jackson yesterday. This is his ans
wer:
II cannot give direct answer to
your question. am not prepared to
say that I will vote for the bill or
that will vote against it. If 1 fol-
lowed my own personal conviction
and belief I would certainly vote
against the bill. In voting against it,
I am sure that / would be voting in
accordance with the wishes of big
majority of the people of Middlesex
county.
However, I will probably vote for
the bill, because there seems to be n
public clamor for it from other Sec
tions Of. the State. From my own
county there is practically no demand
for it In fact, / have just learned
that petition is being circulated
throughout the county, urging me to
vote against the bill, and already
nearly 200 names, of representative
people, have been placed on the petit
tion.
Asked to express himself more de
finitely as to the position he occupies
with regard to the bill, Mr.. Jackson
said:
II cannot predict the course l shall
take with regard to the bill, because
am absolutely cert iin that rs re-
preventative of Middlesex county l
will be observing the wishes of the
majority of my constituents with res
pect to the bill if / voted against it,
since the only sentiment that is pro-
nounced elough to be appreciable in
this county is opposed to the bill. So
much for that
son the other hand, SO great a
clamor has been caused throughout
the State by the advocates of the bill.
and there seems to be so vehement a
demand for its enactment, that every
member of the responsible majority
will find it his duty to yield to what
might be called OIL the general de-
mand, and subo rdinate the wishes of
his constituency to the wishes of the
people who are back of the general de-
mand.''

NlMISHILLEN
YOUNG MARTIN JACKSON
Not Being Good SWIM
mer Met Death.

Martin Jackson, colored, of Ills
Dorm alley, was drowned yesterday
afternoon in the waters of Nimishil-
len creek while he was in swimming
with eight or nine companions His
body was found directly under the
Jackson street bridge in exactly the
same place where he went down for
the last time. 1t was two hours later
when the lifeless form was brought to
the surface by Jacob Mauk and Will
liam Seebach who were in light skiffs
dragging the water in the vicinity of
the drowning.
Young Jackson, who Is not more
than 81 years old, and his cousin, Ro-
bert Jackson, went to the creek for
swim at about 230 in the after
noon. At the Jackson street bridge on
the northwest side they met five or
six white boys who were there for
the same purpose, as the slight cove
at this point makes an excellent rem
devious for bathers although the wa
ter is deep.
The unfortunate lad who was not
good swimmer, padded around in the
water, becoming exhausted His cousin
and George Wise, of 1922 East Eighth
street, jumped in and pulled him to
the muddy bank. He was left there
| by his rescuers who swan to the
south end of the bridge. Jackson, af.
| ter getting his breath, dived in and
commenced to swim again. When un-
| der the bridge he threw up his hands
and sank. He came to the surface
three times more but did not utter a
sound. Some small boys saw him
sinking but they were powerless to
aid
His cousin. Robert Jackson, did not
know of the fatality until the boy had
sunk for the last time. Directly after
the news had spread police head
quarters was telephoned. The patrol
wagon, accompanied by officers Rifle
and Lehnis went to the scene. Fire
hooks were secured and the body thus
rescued by Mauk and Seebach.
The victim is the son of Mrs. Hattie
Lacey. formerly Jackson, of Dorm alley,
He was employed, up to several weeks
ago, by the Carnahan Tin Plate mill.
His body was taken to his mothers
home by the patrol wagon and later
taken charge of by Shilling & Son, un-
dertakers.
Besides his mother and stepfather
the young man is survived by two
brothers.
