B%LACKSMITHS STRIKE.
Trouble over Time-Card System al
Rogers Locomotive Works.

PATTERSON, Dec. 3.-Blacksmiths en-
ployed at the Rogers shops of the Am r.
lean Locomotive Company have mot CT
grievance and for the second time wi ain
six months went out on strike yeste lay
afternoon. The cause for their dissatisfae-
lion some months ago rested in the en-
ployment by the company of a foreman
who was Objectionable to the men. Final
~ the foreman was removed.
Now the men object to the time card
system. Heretofore the blacksmiths have
beer permitted to leave the shop as soor
as their work was completed for the day
Oftentimes this was at an hour some
time previous to G o'clock. Now the mer
have been ordered to secure time cards
and have them marked by the timekeeper
at II, noon, and at 6 p. m. They objeei
to remaining in the shops until the latter
hour when their work for the day is
completed. This rule applies to the mer
on piece work.

G H TRAFFIC ORDER.
Central Contends New Haven Has IL
legally Disseminated.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Dec. 3.-As re-
CARDS the threatened interruption of traffic
by the new cancellation orders of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, ii
is understood that the position Of the New
Haven road is that ample facilities will be
supplied on the new route via the Pough-
keepsie bridge. and the Lehigh and Hudson
roads.
1t is stated here that arguments by the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and the
allied companies against the cancellation
have already been made before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, based on the
discriminative, so long as the New Have
road maintains the old traffic arrangement
with the Lehigh Valley and the Pennsyl-
vania. A hearing of the New Haven side
of the question will probably be held be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission
next week.

April, 1892 bid; May, 1896; June, 1924;
July, 1921.
The advance during the middle of the
morning carried December up TO a net
gain of IS points, while later active
months sold 5 to 7 points net higher, but
around these figures offerings increased
a result of realizing and Southern selling
and at midday prices were several points
off from covering of shorts, and Wan
Street bulls support, which was promoted
by encouraging reports from domestic
cotton goods and the big Liverpool spot
sales, which were supposed TO reflect light
stocks in the hands of English spinners.
Business was fairly active and general,
with the market firm during the middle OF
the morning at a net advance of q points

$l,OOO,OOO OFFER
HYDE READY FOR RESTlTU-
TON TO EQUITABLE.
Other Old Insurance Directors Anxious
to Make Settlement-State to
Push Suits.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-James Hazen
hyde and other members of the old
directorate of the Equitable Life Assur-
anee Society have offered to turn back
more than 81, 00O,0 0 into the treasury of
tina institution. 1t is understood that the
amount which Mr.. Hyde alone offers to
restore is nearly 81, 00O.00 0
Apparently one of the purposes which
Mr.. Hyde and others in the old directorate
have in offering to make restitution is to
get the Attorney General to discontinue
the suit which was begun on behalf of the
State against the entire board of the
Equitable two tears ago. amuel Inter
myer, Mr., Hyde's counsel, wrote to At
torney General Jackson some time ago
setting forth the settlement which Mr..
Hyde and other directors had proposed TO
the society's present board of directors.
The Attorney General is not inclined 10
accept any settlement and is making
preparations to push the suit.
Tho offers of Mr.. Hyde and the Sther
old directors apparently were not volun-
tary. Almost a year ago the new board
of the Equitable appointed a special com
mittee to deal with the claims which the
society had against member of the old
regime.
This committee entered into negotia-
lions with Mr.. Hyde's representatives and
finally came to a satisfactory understand
ing with him. When one director was
asked today what it was that had influ-
enred Mr.. Hyde to consent to part with
such a large amount Of money without
a contest he said hat the directors COM
mittee had been in a position where they
were able TO convince Mr.. Hyde that his
would be the wiser course. This director
was asked also if any evidence OF Grim
NAL transactions had been turned up by
the committee in the Equitable, but he
aecIlned to discuss that.

Declared from Athletic Club
Because Of Color and the
Members Are Angry

New York, Feb. 16.-There is
trouble In the athletic world here
about. 1t all came up because J. B.
Taylor, the great Negro runner, ap-
piled for membership in the Pas
time Athletic club, one Of the most
exclusive organizations In the East.
The Evening Mail, q few days ago
had the following to say Of the affair:
There is grave danger that the
Pastime Athletic club will lose some
Of its best athletes and hackers
through the refusal Of the club to
act favorably on the application Of
J. B. Taylor for membership.
The application was not put be-
fore the club at the meeting of the
board Of governors held last night,
but it is said on good authority
that the only reason for its not be-
ing presented was that the man who
secured the colored boys name had
been assured In advance that there
would be opposition to his being TAX
en- into the club. This man, who
has done more for athletes in the
past year than any six men tn the
city, knowing In advance the attitude
Of some Of the officials, refused to
present the application,
NOHS OF %ne OWCSrS OF the clnb
would speak Of the case last night,
but intimated that there were sew
eral members of the club anxious
to get the dark rUnnes into the
club Several Of the officers denied

athletes were very indignant because

| runner in the country and made
