President of International Terra
Gotta Workers Union Visits N.
]. T. C. COmpanyys Plant.
CIGAR co. STRIKE ON A WEEK.
President Hank Here from Chicago
Interviews the Striking Men at the
New Jersey Terra Gotta Plant, but
the Situation Remains Unchanged
No Violence Shown, but the
Plant is Badly Crippled by Strike.

President Charles Hank, of the In
ternational Brick. Tile and Terra
Gotta Workers Union, came to this
city from Chicago yesterday in an eff
fort to settle the laborers' strike at
the New Jersey terra Gotta works.
While here he was the guest of B.
Frank Henry
He interviewed a number of the
striking workmen in regard to the
strike situation, but up to the present
time the strike remains unsettled.
The strikers about fifty-five in num-
ber, will have been out a week to-
morrow noon and their absence from
the factory cripples the other depart
ments at the plant.
1t was rumored that the officials
of this factory took in other laborers
to prepare clay Monday and that
ments quit work when the clay of
the non-union workmen reached their
benches This was denied by Of
ficials of the plant today. The press
ers, however, were laid off last Sat
urday morning and were told that
they would be notified when wanted
again. This move was necessary by
the company as the pressers had no
clay to work with, the small amount
in stock having been exhausted. The
men in the other departments have
not been affected as yet, and the Of
ficials could not say when they would
be obliged to lay off Others
President Hank is in town again
today and may remain here a few
days to push through his plans of
winding up the terra Gotta strike.
Cigar Workers Out a Week.
The strikers at the P. A. cigar fac
tory have been out a week today with
no sign of returning, up to the pres
ent time. The situation remains the
same as it has been the past few
days.

Board OfEduCatIOn Asks $4,000
for Land for a New School
Near Barracks.
FAVOR THE MAYORS OPINIONS.
Commissioners at Special Meeting Go
on Record as Favoring Recon-
mendations that Principals be Not
Required to Teach Glasses and that
Free kindergarten be Aided as Far
as Possible-Use of Auditorium.

The school board held a special
meeting last night and after num-
bes of bills had been paid, took up
the mayors recommendations which
had been discussed at the previous
meeting when his report was read.
A short discussion took place and
President Crowell said that while no
action could be taken on them at
present. it would be well to show the
sense Of the board in the matter.
A motion was then passed in which
the board signified that they heartily
coincide with the mayors recommen-
dations and hope that some way will
be opened soon so that they may be
carried out.
A resolution was adopted that $14,-
600 be raised to purchase school
site at New street, Park avenue and
Barracks street. The board decided
that new school is necessary and
as a meeting of the Board of Estimate
is to be held soon, the matter will
probably be decided then. Mayor
Bollschweler in his report recon-
mended that school sites be purchas-
ed even if the schools could not be
built now.
The mayor also recommended that
the principals in each of the schools
be allowed to supervise the work and
not be confined to teaching room,
as at present The board last night
discusser this idea and, provided the
Board of Estimate will appropriate
$4,000 for that purpose, extra teach
ers can be employed and the difficulty
overcome.
The kindergarten was also dis
cussed, but no action was taken in the
matter. Some of the commissioners
are in favor of helping the kindergar-
ten and it is probable that the matter
will be brought up again later. Per-
mission was granted to Miss wilkins,
teacher of the kindergarten, to use
the room in school No. / some night
this week for drill.
Superintendent Shull said that the
seniors would probably want to use
the high school auditorium two or
three nights before commencement.
The board granted the necessary per-
mission.
The bills which were held up by
en- of last night, and it is understood
that the difficulty has been settled,
and that they will soon be signed

At the council meeting in South
Amboy last night a discussion took
place in regard to the building of the
three steel spans in the county
bridge. Councilman Forman stated
that he thought the mayor and the
council should take up the matter
with this city and see il something
could be done to hurry the work on
thet bridge.
Mr.. Forman said that he had been
told that progress was slow and that
there seemed to be hardly any men
working there. He said he under-
stood that the contract time was nine
ty days and that, from the present in
dications, it would take three times
pleted He suggested that action be
taken to hurry up the Board of Free
holders Councilman Dey replied that
the freeholders couldn't be hurried
much as they were the boss. The
mayor seconded the opinions of the
two councilmen and said that the
freeholders could be hurried. The
DOdlu vi IlCCllOluOlb was utldChCQ OlA
all sides and it was said the reason
larger force was not put to work
was because it would cost more
money.
County Engineer Replies Today.
County Engineer Morganb f. Lar
son said today that the work is well
under way and that the spans are
progressing as rapidly as could be
expected. Engineer Larson says the
contract time for the completion OF
the work is six months, and that
force of about fifty men is employed
by Contractors Snare & Trieste. The
weather has been very rainy recently
and Engineer Larson said that con-
crete cannot be mixed in the rain.
This has delayed the work to some
extent, but he thinks the work will
be completed within the contract
time.
Committee to Confer.
That the South Amboy council in
tends taking action is certain as after
the discussions had reached climax,
a committee was appointed, on a mo-
tion made by Councilman Dewan, to
confer with the local authorities and
in conjunction with them to go before
the Board of Freeholders at their
next meeting and ask them to hurry
the contractors. The motion also em1
bodied that the local city officials be
l,ed to appoint COMMITTEES. The
Il otion was carried and Councilmen
L orman, Dewan and J. H. Gordon
were appointed, and Mayor Trega-
nowan said he would accompany
them.
