VOTING MACHINES ARE HIGH

Special to .The Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON. August 16, 1965.-As the
state voting machine commissioners con-
sidered the bids too high on voting ma
chimes, the commission at its meeting
yesterday did not give out the contract
for supplying more voting devices for
the state.
Bids were received from the United
States Standard Company and the Inter
national Ballot Counting Machine Com
pany The Standard Company asked
5000 a machine or 500 more on each
machine than was asked last year. For
the International, 5000 a machine was
asked if lot of less than 100 We're pur-
chased.
The commission did not decide what to
do. but it is likely that the bids will be
rejected.
The commission received an apropria-
ton Of $4,000 from the last Legislature
to buy the ballot devices.

BREAD STRIKE OVER.

There is lots of bread on the East SIDE
in New York to-day, and ii is selling
mostly for 9 cents loaf, all Of which is
the best indication that as far as the suf-
fering attendant upon the bakers strike
is involved the strike is a negig BILE
quantity, Which side. whether bosses or
union men, has the upper hand is a
question, for each side loudly announces
that it is winning the strike and that the
opponent is going stale.
One thing is certain. and that is that

Local %, the fighting union of the East
Side, will ask for reinstatement of their
members and call off the sympathetic
strike President Jacob Book of the
Boss Bakers Association looks upon
this as victory. but according to Sam
uel Kurtz, leader Of the striking union,
the three unions are going back simply
to accommodate the public.
Kurtz is confident, he says, of the
ability of his union to win without fur
ther sympathetic striking. At any rate,
the executive board of the Greater New
York Union Bakers ordered back the
three unions at meeting held yesterday.
Book, of the bosses, also announced
that because 30 per cent of the shops

EMPLOYERS MUST PAY FINE.

Especial to s'The Jersey City News'')
TRENTON, August is, 1905.-Judge
George W. Macpherson has handed
down his decision in the child labor suits
instituted by the department of labor
against the Mercer Pottery Company of
this city and the. United Oil Cloth Com
pany of Yardville. A fine of $50 was i'm
posed upon each company. These causes
We're tried in the city district court last
week.
The complaint against the Mercer Pot
tery Company was the employment of
Florence Z. Cooney and that against
the United Oil Cloth Company the em-
pioyment of Philip Cubberley. both less
than Ia years of age.
One of the defences made by the Mer-
Ger Pottery Company was that the Coo
ney girl was not employed by the COM
pany, but by one Of its foremen Judge
Macpherson in announcing his decision
held that the fact of her, employment by
the company was shown because she was
paid directly from the office. He held.
however, during the argument Of the case
that even were this not so the new law
as drawn by John L. Swayze made the
manufacturer liable for any child al
lowed or permitted to work in factory,
whether employed directly by the owners
or by one of their employees.
Under the old act in suit brought
against the Cook Pottery Company,
Judge Macpherson held that employment
by foreman did not render the manu-
facturers liable. The decision is regard
ed as important by the labor department
in compelling compliance with the child
labor laws.
The defence in the United Oil Cloth
case was that the Cobberley boy, al
though found at work in the factory was
not shown to have been employed by
authority Of the manager. who was ab-
sent from the city and who, it was stated
at the trial. was the only person entitled
to employ help.

APPROVES Wit TE's COURSE.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. Is, 1906
There is widespread satisfaction that
Mr.. Witte has been able in the FIRST stage
Of the conference at Portsmouth to. place
Russia in what most Russians regard as
a reasonable attitude as a negotiator.
Russia's apparent success over the
first minor issues has not, however, all
tered the conviction here that when the
conference reaches the questions Of in
demnity and cession Of territory there
will be deadlock.
Only those few who profess to believe
that Japan is "bluHing' and will sign
peace on minor concessions. have hopes
that i treaty viii be framed

Mind There Can Be No
Peace and Sends Word to
Gar.
NEGOTIATIONS END SATURDAY
JAPs FIRM IN THEIR DEMANDS
FOR INDEMNITY-wITTE WILL
NOT CEDE sAGHALEIN ISLAND.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Aug. Is,
19o5-The Russian ENJOYS to-day are
gloomier than they have been since the
conference began, and they say that un-
less there is change which they do
not anticipate. peace negotiations viii
end by Saturday night.
Mr.. Witte has made up his mind there
can be no peace. and has sent word to
that effect to the Czar. He viii talk
with the japanese a day or two more
and then give up the struggle. He be-
lieves the war viii go on.
Stolid and silent, the Japanese ENJOYS
apparently do not intend to be deprived
of the fruit of their victories. They
persistently demand their pound of flesh.
Mr.. Witte, who has the settlement of
the whole matter in his own hands, will
not bind Russia to pay an indemnity rs
such. and will not cede the barren and
desolate Saghalien Island to Japan, al
though Japan may now hold it by right
of conquest.
There is no doubt that if Japan would
eliminate the questions of an indemnity
and the cession of Saghalien Island
speedy peace could be reached 1t is
on these two points, when they are
reached, that a split will come. The
Russians totally oblivious to the fact
that. they have been whipped, are here
importunately protesting that they are
not the representatives of a conquered
nation and that they are prepared to
fight on for years.
There is good authority for saying
that Section of the conditions. which
was passed over with mote of di-
vergence" yesterday. relates to Sagha-
lien Island. 1t was announced before the
peace conference began that Russia
would not stand out on Saghalien if
everything else could be arranged salts
factorily.
The Russians are playing shrewd
game. It is their intention to place on
Japan the onus for the continuance of
the war.
This diplomacy of Russia is well Illus
4
trated in the procedure in the conference
room. The Russians have been quite
willing to make the obvious concessions.
Most of their talk has concerned the
construction of the language of the pro-
tocol rather than the subject matter. If
they can show, by the concessions they
have already made. that they have done
their share toward ending the war they
will go back and fight on until another
peace conference is necessary. when they
hope to be in a better position than they
are in now.

wouldn't suit either the politicians or
the members Of the department You
can scratch his name off the list as a
possible appointee. You can also draw
the pencil through the name Of Andrew

were to announce himself candidate
