Boss Tactics.
tFlaxton Times.l

The. anti-machine fellows had a
meeting down at Bowbells the other
day which in point of numbers was
not the bowling success it was hoped
to be by its instigators. The move
ment does not seem to meet with that
popular and spontaneous outburst of
enthusiastic support of which. it's
leaders had so fondly dreamed. And
this is not because the people are not
opposed to machine politics and gang
rule but because they have no con-
tidence in the sincerity of purpose of
the leaders of the movement. The peo-
pie are too wise and too independent
to be lead around by the nose by a
lot OF sore-head politicians and defeat
ed ofiice-seekers. In other words they
are dead onto the game. The Bow
bells meeting. for instance, was a
clear give-away of the methods en-
ployed by these self-styled anti-gang
and municipalities fellows. Two
or three of them got together before
the meeting and picked out delegates
to the state convention. Then during
the deliberations of the meeting mo-
ton was passed that Mr.. So-and-so be
declared a committee of one to name
the delegates to the state convention.
Mr.. So-and-so then read OF the list Of
names he had been furnished by the
two or three bosses. Il there q any.
thing about such proceeding that
savors Of pure politics or is other
than machine or gang dictation the
Times would be glad to know of 1t.

OF
EMPLOYEES

Well known Wholesale Firm Lets Ont
Number of Men and Rumor Has II
That Investigations of Detectives
Had Something to Do With 1t.
There is considerable discussion on
the streets today relative to the action
OF Nash Bros. the well known De-
Mers avenue wholesalers, discharging
six of their house employees and rum
ors as to the reason for such action
are rife.
One story has 1t that the dismissal
OF the employees occurred following in
vestigations made by plain clothes men
and that there may be others to 20
by the board. Another report has it
that irregularities" were not the
causes for which the men were "let
out"
Nash Bros. are very particular as to
the conduct of those whom they en-
ploy, whether during or out of work
hours. and 1t may be that improper
department had something to do with
the recent dismissals. Employees of
the firm are aware that gambling and
drinking are tabooed. So far as could
be learned no charges of any nature
have been or are likely to be made.
Members Of the firm refuse to make
statement for publication and there is
an air of mystery about the whole pro-
ceedings. Employees. themselves are
in the dark and 1t is said that the
rumor that the axe will fall again is
causing some uneasiness among them.
The men discharged were let out Sat
urday night.
