IMPORT BELGIAN BEARS
TO BREAK KIDS STRIKE
STEAMER ARRIVES WITH HOLD
FULL OF TOYS
Boy Suffers to Appeal to Roosevelt
to Arbitrate Grievances with
the Teddy Bear
Trust

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Laden with
seven million Teddy bears, or there
abouts, the steamer Macedonia has
arrived at Boston from Antwerp.
In the Macedonias hold, a catacomb for
bears, Teddy bears are packed like sar-
dimes in box or humans in Brooklyn
bridge car
There are "little bears" and middle
sized bears and great big BEARS" just
as there are in the child's story book,
and all of them are stuffed. They have
been stuffed by cheap Belgian labor.
which is willing to fill it's stomach by
stuffing Teddy bears for wages OF
franc a day. about 20 cents.
Probably there is no duty on Teddy
bears except as toys. This lamentable
fact will be brought Immediately to
President Roosevelt's attention by the
fifty-eight boy Teddy-bear suffers who
are on strike against the Bruin Manu-
fatcuring company, of No. 497 Broome
street. An intelligent leader of the
strikers said feelingly last night:
I'VE are going to let the President
know that the trust is trying to break
our strike by importing Teddy bears
from Belgium. Who ever heard of Ted
dy bears. except by descent or Inherit
ance? The Teddy bear trust knows that
we can't compete with foreign labor.
Those fellows in Antwerp can live q
whole day on smell of cheese sand
witch. We are getting out a circular
asking every true American girl and boy
not to touch or fondle these cheap-labor
bears"
Captain Porath of the Macedonia is
quoted as saying that little Belgian girls,
having the maternal instinct, do not
care for Teddy bears.
"Over there the children don't take
we'll to Teddy as pet Our little girls
love to make dresses for their dollies.
1t teaches them to sew and to be moth
erly. But you Americans are a strenu-
Gus people, you know"
So if foreign-made Teddy bears are
boycotted and no more Teddy bears are
made in this country, little Yankee girls
will have to return to the dollies of
which Capt. Porath speaks. and go back
to making dresses for them. And any
grandmother win tell you that 1t is
more desirable for a little girl to hug
a dolly than to tote around a stuffed
geological specimen.

CAPT. WAR; RECEIVES
MEDAL FOR BRAVERY
Commander of cunard Steamship Car.
mania Rewarded for Rescuing
Fishermen from Dory in
Severe Storm

In recognition of his skill in rescuing a
fisherman from a dory during severe
storm, the Life Saving Benevolent associ-
alton of New York has awarded its gold
medal to Capt Robert c. War; COM
mander of the Cunard steamer Carma-
mia.
The rescue was made early in the morn
ing of June 10 last. The sea was exceed
ingly rough when the LOOKOUT sighted a
dory with man helpless from exposure.
hunger and exhaustion clinging to it as it
was thrown from wave to wave. The
condition of the sea made it impossible
to launch a boat, and Capt. War; set
about the difficult task of maneuvering
his big vessel alongside the little craft.
In this he was finally successful, and one
of the Carmania's crew sprang into the
dory, fixed a rope around the fisherman's
body, and the rescued and rescuer were
drawn on board.
The fisherman was Louis Violet, mem
Der of the crew of the French fishing
schooner Mimosa. His dory had been
blown away from the schooner during a
snow squat, his dory mate had been
washed overheard and drowned, and Vol
let had been drifting helplesly, without
food or water, for many days
Capt. war; letter OF acceptance TO
William H. Helme Moore. president of
the association, follows:
II beg to acknowledge with sincere
thanks the receipt of the very handsome
medal and gratifying letter with which
YOU have favored me. While l did only
what any other man in my position would
have done, it is a matter of sincere graft
fication to me to hear that the poor fell
low whom we succored is on the high
road to recovery. That this rescue should
have been acknowledged by you in such
a handsome manner will always be one OF
my most pleasant memories, and the
medal one of my most treasured possess
sions."

As Posterlty MAY See us

Archeologists differ as to the precise date
when the freedom Of America was finally
achieved, though the weight of opinion selects
the year 1851, A.. d.
Coins of that year have been dug up, which
show the figure Of a Pullman porter kneel-
ing with hands clasped supplicatingly, and
man with satchel looking haughtily down
at him. And yet on the other hand man
century speaks of persons going out TO dine
with friends having to take along money to
fee the servants with.
One thing is certain, however, that their
emancipation was an accomplished fact not
later than A. d. 2oi0, for in that year We
know of their blowing themselves to pieces
with high explosives in celebration OF their
deliverance--Puck.

ESTIMATE is ATTEMPTED
ON LOCAL GRAPE CROP

The abundance of grapes which have been
pouring into market has led an authority to
make the following estimate on the local
yield:
The Monrovia crop is estimated at 100 900
tons; Altadena, $4,000; Hollywood. 100000; Bur-
bank. SO, 900, and Whittier $4,000.
From a 5000 acreage the San Joaquin
valley will this year ship 1000 carloads as
against 500 last year.
For the most part the yield is made up OF
Muscats. Black Hamburg and Rose of Peru
varieties. Concords and Tokays are not SO
plentiful.
While the market will be lavishly supplied
with grapes at unusually low figures; the bulk
Of their uit will go to the wineries.

The Teachers Association of this
city has drawn up resolutions re-
questing the representatives from
this county in the state legislature to
do all in their power to defeat house
bill No. 10, which has been favorably
reported by the committee to which
it was referred.
This bill, as told in the NEWS
Tuesday. aims to take the extra in
come from main stem railroad taxes
from the school funds and give it to
the municipalities.
The following resolutions. which
are similar to those of teachers as
sociations throughout the state, have
been adopted by the local teachers:
Whereas, Mr.. Hendrickson, of
Hudson county, has introduced a bill
in the house known as house bill No
10, and this bill has been reported fa-
vorably by the committee to which 1t

SAY CONTRACTS WERE BROKEN.
Grave Charges Made Bill Of Complaint Accusing Labor Leaders
Of Using Every Means Possible TO Prevent Contractors
Who Do Not Employ All Union Men From
Getting WOk-Name Several
Instances

n Wolff, of Newark, the bill says,
was another victim of the boycotting
conspiracy. 1t Is alleged that the
union men declared they would boy
colt Wolff's store If he gave certain
contract to contractors not employing
union labor. A similar threat, 1t is
averred, was made to Philip Joselson,
of Perth Amboy. The allegation of
the complainants is that by reason
of these threats they are greatly him
dered in their building and contract
ing work and suffered great loss and
injury thereby; also that in the fut-
ure they cannot carry on their busi-
ness without further loss and injury.
Want an Injunction.
The bill prays for an injunction
restraining the Building Trades
Council and all labor unions compos-
ing it or their members, agents, or
Representatives from In any way
hindering, or preventing workmen
from working for the complainants;
also from interfering in any way,
through threats or intimidation, with
the business of the complainants.
When seen this morning members
suit. said that they felt confident of
winning. 1t was admitted that action
had been taken against the Building
Trades Council and that 1t was made
necessary by the action of the union
men.
When James j. Donehue, secretary
of the Building Trades Council, was
seen today he refused TO discuss the
i 4. .
ported that he was busy all this
morning visiting people mentioned in
the contractors bill of complaint get
ting them to sign afhdavits that what
the contractors charge IS not true.
When Mr.. Donehue was asked about
this report he refused to confirm or
deny it. He did state, however, that
his organization will meet the in
junction next Tuesday.
This afternoon number of offic-
ials from the State Building Trades
Councils visited union hall, in this
city, and were questioned by a NEWS
representative as to the truth in the
report that number of men men
toned in the contractors bill of COM
plant were seen with the object of
having them swear out affiidayits to
the effect that they had not been
molested by union business agents or
union men. These officials admitted
that it was true. They further stated
that they have ample cause to dispute
the statements in the bill of COM
plant made by the contractors and
for that reason they will fight the
case to the end. Alexander Maxwell,
of Newark, is their attorney

Has Secured a Writ Holding Up
Central Jersey Traction Com
pany on South Shore.
REFUSES TO BUILD ITSELF.
South Ambuy Council Has Already Given The Desired Franchise
and No Objection Was Offered by the Public Service at That
Time Public Service Would Keep All Other TroIeys Off
the Bridge Too, But Refuses to Build Line
Of Its Own

That the Public Service Corpora
ton intends to fight every step that
the Central Jersey Traction Com
pany may take is evident by the
application on the part of the Public
Service for rule to show cause why
writ of scerterorari should not be
issued preventing the South Amboy
borough officials from granting a
franchise to the Central Jersey to en-
ter that borough. The application
has been granted and the parties are
notified to appear at Elizabeth March
16 for argument.
The application is made by the
Elizabeth and Raritan River Street
Railway Company, under which
name the Public Service does bust
ness in this vicinity. Robert Adrian
is the attorney.
The South Amboy council has al
ready granted franchise to the Cen
trail Jersey Traction Company for a
right of way across Pine avenue
through the Hole in the Wall" tc
the Sayreville township line leading
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-03-09

to the bridge. The Central Jersey
now has. an application before the
Board of Freeholders for the use 0r
the spans and draw of the bridge.
The Public Service has already am
nounced that it will not extend its
lines any further at present and It
seeks to prevent any other company
growing.
The Central Jersey operates troll
ley line from South Amboy through
Keyport to Red Bank. 1t now,enters
the South Amboy borough limits on
the Public Service tracks as far as
the N. Y. & l.. B. railroad station.
through an agreement with the Pub
lie Service.
The Public Service, which now has
a monopoly of the trolley lines in
this section, seeks to prevent the
Central Jersey from extending its
lines. The action taken carries the
matter into the courts where the Pub
lie Service evidently hopes to tie up
the progress of it's rival. In the
meantime, it would seem, the people
must wait.

SOON START WORK.
Contractors on the AmbOy Bridge
Say Material VIII be Ready
in Ten Days.

Freeholder Hanson said this morn
ing that he had received letter from
Snare G. Trieste, who are the con-
tractors for placing the three steel
spans in the county bridge, stating
that the material would be placed on
the ground at once, and that they
would probably start work within
ten days.
Mr.. Hanson says that he does not
thing that the job can be started by
that time as the ice in the river will
prevent operation. The freeholder is
confident, however, that the contract
ors will soon be at work.
The ice above the bridge is still
unbroken and from the present out
look 1t will be week or SO before it
begins to move.
