SEWING MACHINE AGENTS
BEGIN STRIKE TODAY.
Collectors Will Spoil Profits, Is
Their COmplaint-Company
Representative Silent.

While thirty-six agents connected
with the four local branches of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company who
began their strike today have received
no encouragement from the supervisor
of the North Jersey stores, they hope,
with the aid of the public, to bring
the company to terms. Every effort
will be made to reach the people. To-
day $500 circulars printed in Yiddish
were distributed on the Hill section,
and more will be printed in English,
German. Italian. and Polish. The cir
culars appeal to the worlSingmon, espe-
cially those connected with labor
unions, Tor support.
The agents formerly sold machines
and collected installment payments on
them. In the future the latter part of
the work will be done by eight collec-
tors This means the agents will have
to sell number Of machines each
week in order to make fair-sized
salary. The executive committee met
at 1917 Broome street yesterday after
noon. and a meeting of the strikers
will take place at the same hall to-
night
I'VE can't live under the new sys-
tenn" said one of the committee Our
ing these hard times we find it difficult
to sell a machine. just think of a
married man with a family missing a
sale perhaps for ten days or several
weeks It's a case OF drive around all
day and exist on fresh air
Yes. and they made it harder. for
they raised the first payment on all
machines from 81 to So"
The official representative of the com
pany could not be seen today, and
several Of the branch managers de-
clincd to discuss the question.

New, Japanese Ambassador Says
War with America Would

NEW YORK, Feb. lit was mes

Baron Kogoro Takahira, the new Jap
anese Ambassador at Washington,
brought to this country ON his arrival
OH the Etruria. He said today
''The cruise of the Pacific fleet I con-
slider purely an American affair. 1t Is
a maneuver on grand scale. and
ought to be highly instructive. 1t will
certainly show other nations what won-
derful power the United States has at
it's command.
1T is impossible for am ma of ordi-
nary sanity to think of a war between
two powers like ours, in spite of the
sincere friendship actually existing be-
tween them.
at is a crime against humanity.
against civilization. against the we'll
being of the whole of mankind. Such a
war, If ever fought, would be the most
inhuman event of the worlds history.
Our people, at least. do not think of the
possibility of such an unfortunate
event.

the general opinion of those who knew
the man, and also is the opinion OF
many who heard him testify February
Z. while on his sickbed in his home, 55

a stauneh friend for the accused Official

had much to do with the disagree
ment.
The city messenger was a constable
under Sheriff Frank Fl. Sommer. and
accompanied the detective sergeant in
his quest for disorderly houses. IL;
corroborated the defendant in every
detail without having heard his testi-
mony. A physician was in constant

disease.
The funeral services tomorrow after
noon win be conducted by Lincoln

Williamson was a prominent member,
and interment will be in Evergreen

Hiram and Margaret Williamson.
While young man Mr.. Williamson
lived in Poughkeepsie, where he was
well known. He came here in 1887 and
was a conductor on the old horse cars
for twelve years. He was then ap-
pointed a deputy sheriff under Sheriff

In the summer the yard and garden

Men who are now gray say that it was
a landmark when they were young
Then it was near the bank of a creek

the snow melted, it would become a
torrent, too deep for fording, and cut
ting off communication between New
ark and the country to the north. The
brook now empties into sewer
