Former Employees Of Badger Brass
Co. May Be Back to Their
Old Places Soor
CONFERENCE MONDAY NIGHT
Men and Their Former Employer Meet
To Talk Over Question and Signs
of Peace Are Multiplied
To Decide Today

There is a distinctly better feeling
IN connection with the labor troubles
at the Badger Brass plant Tuesday and
the signs of peace are appearing at
all points in the discussion between
TIE men and their former employers
and it is thought very possible that
the men will be back at work in the
plant again within the next few days.
AT four hour difference between
the men and w. L. Yu1e, one of the
officials of the company, held at the
Trades and Labor hall Monday even
ing there was a decidedly good feel
ing shown and another meeting is to
be held this evening, at which time
the men are expected to make some
final settlement as to the attitude they
will take toward the plant in the
future. At the meeting Monday
night Mr.. Yu1e and the mayor we're
the only guests of the union men and
the meeting was in the way of a
friendly conference in which the men
gave their views and in which Mr.
Yule answered the arguments made
and presented the side of the en-
ployers.
It is admitted that there was will
ingness to get together shown by both
sides, and when the conference ended
just after midnight the men and their
employers were very close together.
1t was said that the principal point
of difference was in regard to the ten
hour day. The men protested against
this day, and Mr.. Yule insisted that
the ten hour law was in use in other
factories in the city and that the Bad
ger Brass company was being I'M
fairly treated by the men when they
insisted on shorter hour day at this
plant alone.
It was suggested that the men re-
turn to work, and then if they had
any complaints to make on the length
of the working day that they should
move in conjunc tion with the other
men employed in the city and place
the proposition before the Manufac-
turers' Association so that it might
be considered by all factories of the
city without discrimination. The
men took this proposition under con-
sideration and some report will be
made at the meeting this evening.
The fact that the feeling shown at
the conference had nothing of an an
tagonistic nature seems to indicate
that the men and their former en-
ployers are getting together.
T Everything was decidedly quiet at
the plant this morning and only three
of the former men stood guard as
pickets and they paid little attention
to what was going on in the factory.
There was absolutely no trouble dur
ing the morning. The managers of
the plant have stated that they were
perfectly willing to employ the men
formerly in the plant, but that they
simply asked that they come to them
as individuals and accept work as
such.
None of the people at the confer
ence had much to say in regard to the
conference this morning, but all ad-
mitted that conditions were decidedly
improved and that there was hopes of
peaceful settlement of all differ
ences in a way which would be salts
factory to the employers and to the
men formerly employed at the plant.

NOTHING FOR KENosHA
Annual Report of the Engineer on Har-
bors Filed in Washington


The annual report of the govern
meut engineers making recommended
tions for the improvement of the
various harbors of the country was
filed with the secretary of war on
Tuesday. No special provision is
made for the Improvement of the har-
bors at either Racine or Kenosha, and
many other Wisconsin ports are left
without appropr;a for the coming
year. It is stated that these harbors
still have suitable funds for main
flamenco. If the money now on hand
is used for the construction of
suction dredge the Kenosha, Racine
and other harbors will be left without
funds for emergency purposes.
1t is expected that the report will be
acted on by Congress when it meets
next month.

Daffield Tax Act constitutions.

Railroad taxes in New Jersey will be
increased from s., 00O, 600 to S4,0 900, 00O
per year as the result of an opinion filed
at Trenton by the Court of Errors and APP
peals.
The opinion sustains the constitution
alto OF the Duffield railroad tax act Of
1908, which provides for the taxation of
~second-class railroad property, or prop
erty other than main stem, franchise and
rolling stock at local rates: the assessment
to be made by the State and the tax to be
collected by the State and paid over to
the municipalities. This act is now es.
tablished as law. 1t is expected that the
Supreme Court will soon follow with an
opinion sustaining the constitutionality of
the Perkins main stem act which provides
Tor the taxation of main stem property
at the average of all the tax rates in the
State, which last year was $3.50 on the
500. Under the old law main stem prop
erty pays only fifty cents on the 500 to
the State. II the Perkins act sustained it
will enable the State to collect this year
about $1,000, 900 in railroad taxes.
All this income except one-half OF l per
cent, retained by the State, goes to the
municipalities for the benefit Of the pub
lie schools.
The share to Salem county from the
distribution of the railroad tax would be
$24, 4 so. The shares to the school dis
tricts would be as follows:

Considerable work is being done on

laid out. Streets are being built, a can

families are already located on the tract.
1t would seem that Pittsgrove township
is destined to be controlled by persons

ship cut a big figure and it may be that
they already outnumber the native
Americans. The land settled by the
foreigners was valued at next to nothing

The Fenwick nonument
Woodstown Monitor Register

OAi NSi0NS
The Fenwick Monument Committee
were surprised and gratified to hear
from far-away California, Mr.. H. IL. Kir-
by's ideas in regard to the proper place
for the prospective Fenwick Monument
and also of his unsolicited financial sup
| port, providing the location should be on
the cannon site near the Woodstown
Friends Westinghouse. That spot is
especially appropriate from an artistic,
educational and historical point OF view.
Fenwick was a Friend, and the came to
America before William Penn and made
treaties with the Indians which were
never broken.
There were nc Indian massacres in this
section. This fact, and others as broad
and noble, make it especially worth
while for this generation to pause and
review the past history Of Fenwick's
Colony, and contribute to a monumen to
his memory and marker for his neglected
burial ground.
The majority of the committee are of
Mr.. Kirby's opinion in thinking the
canon site an ideal spot for the monu-
ment. and they believe it is the general
opinion of the public, but they also wish
to mark the Fenwick burial ground with
a stone, similar to a mile stone, Inscribed
with historical facts, and, moreover,
place a more elaborate marker, with in
scripton, in the forks of the road near
the burial ground, and thus do the work
effectively and appropriately from an
educational, historic and artistic point of
view.
There is in hand and promised money
enough for the burial ground markers,
aud also some for the Wooodstown mon
ument, and the committee, like Mr..
Kirby, do not believe III making 1.-TWO
bites of a cherry but believe that pub
lic-spirited citizens, like himself, will be
willing to contribute from 81 to $40 more
to have a monument to John Fenwick on
the cannon site in Woodstown. OF
the thousands of people living or having
lived on the Fenweck tract, tract there
surely must be eight hundred or more
awaiting an opportunity to contribute at
least one dollar each.
If others will follow Mr.. Kirby's good
example, in print or personally interview
and give their contributions to any mem
| Der OF the committee, the monument will
| In due time become a fact. and an ex.
| preston CT the patriotism of the people
of the Fenwick tract.
