All Men on Both Sides Of River
May Go Out Monday Want
More Wages.
SHERIFF is NOTIFIED
Strike This Time Threatens 10 In
cludc the Sayre & Fisher Plant and
the Pyrogranite Works As Well
As the Employees of the National
Clay Company Who Were on Strike
Bcfore-Nien Demand 81 80 ii Day
Special to me EVENING NEWS:

Spt ciGf to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Apr III
All Indications today point TO a strike
of the employees of the clay compau-
les along the river on Monday that
bids fair to make the strike of last
week appear like side show in com
parison. 1t is believed that not only
the employees of The National Clay
Company, who struck before. will go
out this time but also the men at the
works on both sides of the river, in
Guiding the Sayre & Fisher brick
yards and the Programme Works.
The former strike awaited the men
a raise of y cents a day, making
their pay $l.37 T. a day. Now they
want $l.50 day.
That would mean an increase of
121A cents over what they now re-
ceive and an increase of 30 cents
over what they were receiving when
they struck before The agitation
has been communicated from the
men at one factory to those OF an
other and they are spurred on by the
success of the other uprising.
Sheriff Church has been notified
of the impending strike and stands in
readiness TO order out several hun
dred deputies if necessary to prevent
disorder. The National Clay Com
pany has not reimbursed the county
for the $500 of more which the form
er strike cost for deputies pay.

LESSON OF THE CALAMITY.

IL.
When any great calamity overtakes
a large body of human beings the les
son which Is driven home to our con-
sciousness at the first shock of the news
Is that life Is full of vicissitudes and
that man Is ever drifting helplessly on
sea Of unknown conditions. / speak
with the bitterest scorn of those who
In moments of self-exalted righteous
ness assert that every great misfortune
Is a direct visitation of Gods retribu-
tive vengeance for the sins Of the vic
tins and declare that the story Of So
dom and Gomorrah, which those self
righteous employ to bear them out in
their theory, has no relevance to the
recent earthquake.
No grander lesson of the great COM
mon heart Of humanity which domi-
mates all our lives in spite of all our
petty greed and envy has ever been
driven home to our understanding than
that which we see manifested through
out the nation in the gerenous giving
to those who have recently suffered the
horrors of a ruined city. All the sell
fish considerations which have seemed
to be ever uppermost in our minds are
forgotten the minute the cry for help
awakens In us that one touch Of nature
which makes the whole world kin. Mer-
cy annihilates distances more sum-
marily than the agencies of telegraph
and steam can ever do. The sympathy
for fellow In need which all man.
kind feel for one another Is now sing
Ing a grander diapason in the acts of
charity In which all the organized
forces Of society are Joining than any
vocal chorus could intone.
In this manifestation of the human
heart consists mans greatness; In his
helplessness before the forces Of ma
ture In her angry moods Is shown his
weakness. Mankind has been boasting
Of his triumphs over natures forces
and points In his pride to his conquests
through steam and electricity and In
his triumphs IN plant life. But let ma
ture but frown as she did at San Fran
cisco and mans only greatness is in his
heart, not in hts hands or intellect.
Too much prosperity weakens the
moral fiber of man as it produces
sort Of dry rot which is only dispelled
by the invigorating atmosphere of
struggle and adversely. 1t Is only by
sorrow and suffering that we are
brought to n sudden realization of our
real selves and our purpose in life,
which is that of uplifting and alleviat-
ing the sufferings of humanity. Pro-
perity divides men by erecting more
insuperable barriers than any other
agency. 1t is our great privilege and
should be a source Of greatest joy to
be allowed the opportunity to show our
better natures by lending generous as
sistance to our brothers in this hour
Of woe.

Chinese. He says that he never saw
anywhere in the world men work more
industriously and in some respects more
lntelligently, and this upon a basis. of
compensation infnitesimally small
when compared with that demanded in
the western world. He entirely sup
ports the contention of the labor lead
ers of the United States that Chinese
labor must be excluded, because he af-
firms that If it were permitted to enter
into competition with the ordinary la
Dor Of America 1t could not fail to ac-
quire an ascendency over 1t, not on
account of degraded habits and meth
ods of living, but simply because the
Chinese put their shoulder to the wheel
Of work with determination and per-
sistency which workmen elsewhere do
not exhibit.

That the human race will become
blind through the effects of the cleo
trical current so abundantly generated
for modern uses is the startling prop
osition Of an alleged scientist of Chi
cago. We are Of the opinion that this
statement should be classed among the
vagaries of science. There never was
time when real science commanded
more respect, or, to demonstrated
truths, more unquestioning belief than
the present. This is shown by the in
Vulnerable instances Of applied science
In all branches Of industry. But scien-
tific demonstrations are one thing and
scientific speculatlons are quite anoth-
er. In fact, real scientists. do not in
iulge In the latter. They announce con-
illusions as the result Of patient and
thorough research, but they do not pro-
mulgate long-range speculations or fan

ors to sit on the west verandas of the
hotel and watch the hundreds of sea
lions and seals which congregate on a
large rock about 200 feet from the
mainland. In stormy weather the
waves frequently swept over the top
of the building.
One hundred yards north of the Cliff
hotel are situated the famous Sutro
baths, which were built into the rocky
bluff. The baths are constructed Of
steel and glass and are said to be
among the finest in the world. They
were built at cost Of about 100000
by the late Adolph Sutro, who before
his death gave them to the city of San
Francisco. The great structure Is
about 600X300 feet and the top is prob
ably 200 feet above the ocean. Here
on Sundays and holidays thousands of
girls and boys gather to swim both
winter and summer.

proud mamma, whose husband, by the
way, had just succeeded In turning an
other million-dollar trick In stocks.

What is 1t that makes people anxious
to see a bull fight in Spain, where the
bulls and some horses are brutally put
to death, and the men fighters get all
the glory with a minimum of danger;
or blood and thunder play that has
neither sense, consistency nor educa-
ton or risque burlesque, garbed in
manner that Is tolerated in theater
but would shame the audience If it We're
seen anywhere else; or a prize fight,
at an enormous price of admission, in
which combatants are struggling for
the gate money under previous un-
derstanding" Snd not for promotion of

Of all evil in the universe may have
Its relation to a divine purpose, but

Not that the voluptuousness and aug

TEACHES LIES UNCERTAINTY.
By Rev. Frank G. Bruner.

And the earth did quake and the
rocks rent" Matthew. xvii, 81.
The earthquake Is no stranger to
they have been Of common occurrence.
The bible has foretold their coming
when 1t says, 'sThere shall be earth
quakes in diverse places"
When Frisco was crumbled amid the
rocking of the hills and the groaning
of the earth and moaning of the sea,
it Is an epoch in earthquake history
that teaches nothing out Of the ordi-
nary, but the same old lesson Of uncer-
tainty as to life. To say that SUCH
destruction comes directly from the
Father Of all good without a moments

Those who keep a close watch on
women's ways profess to see a decided
falling off In enthusiasm among the
fair sex concerning the right and op-
portunity to cook and the increasing
fields In which they may find a chance
to earn money or gain a livelihood
women are beginning to find out"
says q close student Of this burning
question, that work Is work, after all,
and that competition grows fiercer all
the time. Young women who come
from the country districts with high
hopes Of independence and ideals about
living their own life untrammeled by
old traditions soon learn that 1t is a
struggle harder than any they might
encounter at home. Then their views
change and they begin to think much
better Of matrimony as vocation than
they did before. 1t will be some time
before this new feeling will have much
weight In lessening the present rush
Of women into all avenues of labor, but
there will be an effort in time and the
rush will subside. The shadow Of in
dependence rather than the substance
Is all that many women gain, and this
Is being slowly realized"
