TO TAKE ORANGE in
NEWARK PRESBYTERY MAY
BE ENLARGED.
Rev. DR.. Inglis Suggests Admitting
Orange Churches from Presbytery
of Morris and Orange.

At a meeting Of the Presbytery of New
ark held this morning in he First Pres
byterian Church a recommendation was
offered that the present presbytery of
Newark be enlarged to include Orange,
and also that the p~resbytery Of Morris
and Orange be divided.
The Rev. DIR. Robert Scott Inglis. pastor
of the Third Presbyterian Church, this
city. made the recommendation as chair
man Of the synodical home mission COM
mittee Of the ~presbytery. He asked that
no action be taken at the meeting, but
that the member think over the matter,
and at a meeting to be called, IL neces-
sary, act upon the recommendation after
thoughtful consideration.
If the re~commendation met with the APP
prevail of the presbytery DIR. Inglls re-
quested that some OF the Orange MEM
bers be invited to meet the local members
and hold a conference over the matter.
Should hat conference result In favor
ing the change as recommended the mat
ter could be officially acted upon at the
next meeting of the New Jersey Synod.
The Morris and Orange churches were
originally organized into one p~resbytery,
DR.. Inglis said, because many of the
churuches In the country were not at that
time s~elf-supporting, but financial condi-
tons nave changed now, and the presby-
terry has been frequently praised for the
large amount of money 1t has raised for
the synod.

SHADE TREE SECRETARY
REPORTS NATIONAL MEET.
Essex Man Told Municipal League Con-
vention About the Work
Done in Newark.

Carl Bannwart, secretary of the
Shade Tree Commission. returned from
Providence, r. l., where he represented
the commission at the National Munich
pal League, which was in session there
four days last week. While he received
much information regarding i..4..cipal
affairs, he was also in a position to
impart valuable data to the delegates
regarding the work of the local Shade
Tree Commission, which is the only one
of its kind in the country.
1t was not known by the league that
any representative of the local COM
mission would attend. and therefore no
arrangements were made to hear any
report on shade tree work, but when it
was known that Mr.. Bannwart was
present he was invited to deliver an
informal talk on the work along those
ines accomplished in this city.
There was also a meeting of the
American Civic Association in ProVi-
dence at the same time, but no one
from this city attended officially, al
though it is said that there were many
matters which would have been of in
terest to the local municipal bodies,
especially the Board of Health and the
Charter Revision Commission.
Several papers were read by physi-
clans from different cities as to how
the health of cities could be improved
with very little cost, and also several
papers on the improvement of munich
pal governments.

AVERT STRIKE
BY SIGNING
AGREEMENT
Majority Of Bosses Grant
Eight-hOur Day to Press
men and Feeders.

With a few exceptions all of the job
printing offices in this and adjoining
cities have granted the eight-hour
workday to their pressmen and feed
ers without permitting the men to go
on strike.
1t was the intention of the pressmen
to go on strike today, but the demands
were agreed to by employers Saturday
and this morning.
A settlement is expected at several
other large concerns late this after
noon and by tomorrow it is said
offices in the city not running on the
eight-hour schedule.
The firms that have signed so far
are as follows: Prudential Insurance
Company. Whitehead & Hoag, Nevins-
Church Company, Birrell & Brown,
Town Talk. Lawler Printing Company,
Modern Printing Company, H. Murphy,
Wolber & Company, Sommer Badge
Company, Brant & Borden, L. J.
Hardham, Longfelder. Boub Brothers.
Westside. Printing Company, E. E.
Morris. Uptown Press, L. Nurkin,
Stewart Loges, United Printing Com
pany, Frank See, Carolan g. Clark.
Review Printing Company, M. Simces
and ]. Ettenberger.
Negotiations are also under way for
a settlement with several other large
concerns.
All of the pressmen in the Typothetae
shops quit work, not as members of the
Printing Pressmen's Union, but as indi-
viduals, thereby avoiding any danger, II
is said, of being affected by the %injunc-
ton obtained by the National Typothetae
against the International Pressmen's
Union, prohibiting it from declaring an
organization strike.
The Typothetae shops are: w. II,
Shurts Company, Groebe-McGovern
There are others, but these two are the
only ones which have cylinder presser.
Other concerns that have not signed are
the Osborne Company and the Essex
Press. At the former the pressmen were
requested to remain In the building, but
not to work, as 1t was the belief of the
management that the request would be
granted this afternoon. The Essex Press
is also expected to make a settlement
today.
The settlement of the pressmen's de-
mands carries with it a settlement of
the feeders, as they are both members
of the international organization.
Out of 100 pressmen there are only four
teen out of work today.
