RALLY TO HELP
THREATENED
LOCAL
Official Ousting Of Sausage
Makers aud Packing House
Men Will Mean War.

There is likely to be a warm session
at the a meeting of the Butcher
Workmen and Meat Cutters tonight in
the New Auditorium, when, it is said.
official steps will be taken to declare
that Local No. Az of the Sausage Max
ers and Packing House Employees is
not affiliated with the national organi-
cation.
While the meeting will be under the
auspices of Local No. 1874, of Harrison,
1t is likely hat there will be a large
attendance of the members of Local
No. 422, and also representatives of the
Essex Trades Council, who feel that the
members of Local No. 422 nave not been
justly treated.
Although the alleged cause for the
attempt to suspend No. 422 is said to be
due to the failure of that local to pay
it's per capita tax, the real reason is
said to be owing to Local No. Az send
ing two members to attend a conference
Of an organization in Hoboken and one
in New York, where it was mutually
agreed to recognize the cards of the
local members if they went to work in
either of these places, although neither
of the out-of-town organizations are
Meat Cutters.
President Potter, of the National
Union, at a meeting of Local No. 422,
Sunday, October 13, expressed himself
as being well pleased with the work
of the organization. A few days later
the local received a notice from the
oaoratorxr af tha Nnffonn1 TTrfAf. tIof
it was in arrears for its per capita tax,
and that if it was not paid Immediate
ly the local would be suspended. The
notice caused much excitement among
the members of the local, FOR while they
realized that they were in arrears for
August and September, yet, according
to the constitution, it was stated that
the local could not be suspended until
it was four months in arrears.
This morning the officers of Local
No. 422 received another notice from
the. secretary of the National Union
to the effect tina No. 422 had been sus-
pended by President Potter.
The communication was shown to
several members of the Essex Trades
ECouncil, anon them Henry F. Hilfers.
secretary of the council. who i'm
m~ediately dictated, a letter to. President
Potter that his action was rather
hasty, and that it would be better for
him to recall the suspension of Local
No. 422 until he had investigated the
matter more carefully, as the Essex
Trades Council would undoubtedly de-
mand an investigation of the matter
as far as it would be permitted to go
in such cases.
William G Wellman, a general or
ganizer of the Butcher Workers Ma
tional Union, received the following
letter from the secretary of the ma
tional union yesterday:

A snap shot was taken by an EVENING
STAR man of Alfred G. Harris. who re-
pairs and cleans tall smoke stacks, and mis-
assistants, John Brown and Charles Cole,
standing on the top of a brick chimney 80
feet tall at a manufacturing plant in Kent
street. The rim of the chimney on when
the men stood is only six inches thick ant
the chimney hole at the top is about three
feet in diameter.
In order to remove SCOT from the chimney
the men fastened steeplejack ladders to
the outside of the chimney, and then
hauled ropes and tackle and other neces-
sary apparatus to the top, where the clean
ing process was begun. Each man was Ia
turn let down into the narrow inside Of
the chimney, a rope being attached to his
body, and he loosened. the SCOT from the
sides. AS the SCOT fell to the bottom of

None or us can stay in a chimney or
smokestack more than Ave to ten minutes, :
SAID Harris last night at his home, $50

needs two men to manipulate the rope

took more than a wagon-load of SCOT out
of that smokestack."

While being questioned regarding sew
eral crimes he is alleged to have ON

and that it had been sold to a man in
New York. Saldutti volunteered to go
to New York and try and locate the
purchaser. Plainclothesman Byrn, Of
the Third Precinct station, and Detec-
tive Kuhn, of the bureau, accompanied
the ~self-confessed thief to New York
today.
Saldutti and Joseph Cantrella, of 55S

robberies, and their arrest is regarded
by the police as important. Some ten
robberies are charged to them, and
several complaints have already been
made against them.

Curious Custom Of California to Be

The Merchants association and the

steamers used to sail from the long wharf

sluice boxes, washed out the rifles
and packed their gold dust safely from

from this point that they set sail for

did not settle, it was deemed advisable
to collect from them before they sailed.
Furthermore, the merchants then in San
Francisco were obliged to make remit
tances to their creditors In the east on the
date of every steamers sailing. In short,

ATLANTA AS FLOWER CENTER.
Buys More Hyacinth Bulbs Than Ne"
York or Chicago.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Atlanta has gained national repu-
tation for excelling in many things, but
It is not generally known that in some
particulars this city is the largest
grower of flowers in the entire United
States. Considering the manner In
which flowers for the trade are grown,
and the scores of larger cities in the
north and west which grow rare flow
ers, this statement seems incredible,
but it is none the less fact.
William Hageman, of large import
ing firm, who is in the city, is author
ity for this statement.
atlanta is the largest flower center
in the country south OF Washington.
One company in this city buys more
Dutch hyacinth bulbs than any in the
United States. Over 10000 bulbs of
this flower are sold to this firm alone.
No city can approach the perfection
which Dutch hyacinths reach in At
lanta. Hyacinths are grown in Atlanta
with stems of sixteen inches, of which
eight inches contain blooms.
ATLANTA also leads the whole coun-
try in the purchase and growth OF
paper white narcissus. The narcissus
is a south of France flower, and there
they contain from ten to twelve flow
ers on stalk. Here in Atlanta eigh'
