tinue Boycott.

PATERSON, Nov. 13.-Proprietors OF
kosher meat shops here are today
greatly worried about the determined
stand against them for raising prices.
AS told in the EVENING STAR, there
was a riot on Monday, in which those
who would not join the boycott against
the butchers were attacked in the
streets and their purchases wrested
from them, and it required the city's
entire police force to restore order.
The end of the fight ON the kosher
butchers trust is not yet.
Both sides are now resorting to
meetings. The largest and most i'm

ELIZABETH, Nov. 1S.-The report
that the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany had laid off between 800 n 1000
of its great army Of employees was
untrue, 1t was learned today. One in
authority at the offices of the big in
dustry made this statement
There is no truth in the recent re-
ports regarding the Singer Company
making a big cut in its payroll. Not
more than forty employees in various
departments have been laid off, and
this is nothing unusual at this time of
the ear This trivial reduction is the
only foundation for stories

1t has also been reported that the
Wheeler & Wilson plant, of Bridge

the reduction in that instance mas also

Failing, Jumped Out Of window.

An italian known to his fellow country

aroused by fire in the apartment house, 81

the danger Of losing his violin caused him
to make a big fight to get his precious
instrument. He failed, and IN the excite

stocking feet.
The fire was not a serious one, how
ever, having been started when a baby's

cradle out of the window. No one was

as he walks along the roadways simply
for his amusement.

A. w. LIE Il.

Cedar Rapids Gazette.-The dis
patches Yesterday conveyed to the
Iowa newspaper fraternity and to
newspaper readers the intelligence OF
the death Of Alfred w. Lee of Ottu1n.
wa one of the most widely known and
most able publishers connected with
Hawkeye journalism. Mr.. Lee had not
been In good health for some months
and at the time Of his death had for.
saken business cares for the pleasures
and hoped-for recuperation of for
efgn tour, but his demise was totally
unexpected.
Mr.. Lee was typical Iowa newspa.
per publisher Ambitious and ener.
getic he threw all his energy into his
work, and his ambition led aim to at.
tempt great things. And great meas,
ure of success crowned his efforts
The newspaper properties with which
he became identified are accounted
among the best In the state. Mr.. Lee
was progressive in business, and the
papers with which ne was connected
bear evidence Of that fact.
1t does not seem that men in the
prime Of life ought to be taken out
of the activities of business. But that
has been the fate of Alfred w. Lee, as
1t has been the fate of others VINO
have lived in the strenuous atmos'
phere Of the modern newspaper Office
1t may have been that Mr.. Lee could
have retained health and life many
years had he been content to allow am.
bition to be unsatisfied or had he ex
pended less energy. To successfully
manage one up-to-date daily newspa
per plant Is task not easy; to identi'
fly ones self with Ave such plants and
become actively interested in their
management is more than many strong
men physically can long endure. That
was the task to which Mr.. Lee set him
self. But more men wear out than
rust out in the daily newspaper bust.
ness Mr.. Lee was evidently one who
preferred to wear out.
Iowa has lost splendid, brainy
citizen, and the newspaper profession
worker and manager in whose record
that profession has every reason IL
feel an unusual degree Of pride.
