FORT-D|CK|NSON
WAR IS SEEN IN
SPURNED REPORT

TRENTON, Dec. ga wave of sur
prise swept through the almost desert
ed corridors of the State House late
yesterday when it was rumored thai
Governor Fort had turned down the
annual report of Secretary of State
Dickinson. When the rumor was con
firmed signs of a serious breach be-
tween the executive and state depart
ments were seen by the politicians.
The Governor gave out no statement
as to his reasons for returning the re-
port to the secretary, except tina it
had contained some matters which it
was not the province of the secretary
to report upon.
The secretary's report was somewhat
voluminous, but the part that aroused
the greatest interest was that with re.
lation to the voting machines and the
new primary law. He declared that
the people had taken views
of the machine and that some day
they would realize how really valuable
these devices are in assuring an honest
election. He also severely criticised
some features of the new primary avs
calculated to obstruct honest elections,
he. said.
When the Governor waded through
these criticisms he was not In a happy
mood. All through the last session of
the Legislature he was known to be
very favorably disposed toward the
primary law. He had also openly con-
demned the voting machine.
In view of the strained relations
aroused between Secretary Dickinson
and former Governor Stokes in the last
few months of the latter's term the
present situation caused no end of gos-
sip today, and the next moves of the
two officials viii be watched with in

CITY SALARIES
TO Be ADJUSTED
BY CIVIL SERVICE
Committee Here Discovers That
Newark Is Unable to Arrange
Its Employees Pay.

That the adjustment of city salaries
rests entirely with the Civil Service
Commission was the conclusion reached
today by a committee appointed last
week to consider the question Of
equalization of salaries in city depart
ments.
The committee, which was presided
over by City Clerk Connolly, consisted
of City Counsel James r. Nugent, Au-
ditor Forman. Comptroller. Bachelor
and Chief Engineer Sherrerd. 1t was
concluded h a If there arose any COM
plant about inadequacy of salaries
the matter should be taken to the Civil
Service Commission by the department
in which the dissatisfaction might be.
The present scale of wages in all de-
partments will obtain until such action
is taken.

placed him within the pale of the law,
He quoted from Mitchelrs book on
Organized Labor, It's Problems, Pur-
poses and Ideals" certain passages
wherein Mitchell declared that 1t was
the duty of all patriotic and law-abid-
ing citizens to resist or disregard in
functions when they forbid the doing
of a thing which Is lawful. Mitchell
also was credited with signing with
full knowledge the urgent appeal
which accompanied the 27,000 or more
circular letters to the various secre-
taries as heretofore specified against
Gompers and Morrison, and with full
knowledge of their contents, counselingt
their distribution, n with the same
purpose and intent"
The court also referred to the pres
ence of Mitchell in the chair on JAN
uary 20, 1908. at the annual convention
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, when a resolution was adopted
placing the Bucks Stove and Range
Company on the unfair list.
Continuing as to all three of the
defendants, the court said: "In de-
Tense of the charges now at bar,

LABOR LEADERS
HERE SURPRISED
At COURT VERDICT
Declare That Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison Will Never
Go to Prison.

Labor leaders in his city, without
exception, today expressed surprise at
the conviction OF Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison. They said they expect
ed no such decision.
Henry Hilfers, of the Essex Trades
Council, said the conviction would
create much discussion in labor circles.
Nc moral wrong had been shown, as
far as he could see. He confidently be
lieved, he said, that when the case Is
heard on appeal the labor leaders will
receive their just dues. Mr.. Hilfers
declared the boycott law was entirely
unfair, inasmuch as it covered boy
cotting only so far as the attitude of
the employee to the employer was con-
cerned.
George A. eLary, international vice.
president OF The Metal Polishers. Brass
Moulders, Brass and Silver Workers
Union of North America, said today:
1T was through my organization that
the boycott was placed on.the unfair
list of the A. f. of l.. But it was not
lone until after the firm had locked out
all the members of our organization
employed by them in their polishing.
bufflng and plating department, fifty
six all told.
THAT was done by them for the rea-
son that our members refused to agree
to give up a nine-hour work-day and
return to a ten-hour work-day. That
was OH September q, 1906.
I'VE tried TO arbitrate the matter,
through the officers Of the National
Stove Founders Association, of which
the Buck Stove Company are members,
b,,t rho firm, a FLOR ,auaated afforfs posi-
lively refused to deal with the repre-
sentatives of our organization, and
likewise the agreement entered into by
the National Stove Founders and our
organization.
1T was really or the advice of the
Stove Founders organization that we
fought the Buck people as the other
members of the Founders did not and
would not approve of the Buck Stove
Company action.
A. j. Cozzolino, a former president
of the Trades Council, and a business
agent for the Walters Union, criticized
the boycott law, In that it did not pre-
vent individual employers from boy
cotting his employees among his
friends. This lis lone every day, he
said, but there is no restriction on his
act.
You cannot express my contempt for
that law any toe strong" he added.
"At any rate, Gompers. Mitchell and
Morrison need not fear %languishing in
Jail, for you can rest assured that they
win be released when their case Is APP
pealed, as 1 am sure it will be-"
Other leaders spoke in the same vein
and expressed their sympathy for the
leaders whom they said had been treat
ed so unjustly.
The Essex Trades Council, which
meets tonight, instead of Friday night,
viii take formal action on the matter,
and resolutions will be adopted.

The court read extracts from reports
of conventions of the federation, re-
rorts of President Gompers, editorials
from the American Federatlonlst, In
support of his statement that there was
a predetermination to violate.
Discussing the actions of the defend
ants since the issuane of the inJunc-

Poisoner Of Or. Wilson May Never Be

Poisoner Of Or. Wilson May Never Be
Known.
Philadelphia. July 13.-No clue has
as yet been found 20 the murderer OF
DR. w. IL. Wilson. who died after sip
ping from a bottle of ale which had
been sent him by express. Following
the coroner's inquest into the case and
a verdict that DR. Wilson came to his
death from cyanide of potassium at
the hands OF unknown persons. the pc
lice assumed charge of the case and
several headquarters detectives were
assigned to unravel the mystery. but
they have made no progress and the
murderer may never be known.
A body of a man answering n the
description of the person who brought
the poisoned ale TO the express Office
was found floating in the Delaware
river. and the theory has been ad.
vanced that the body may be that OF
the poisoncr who. after sendine the
package, committed suicide by Jump
ing into the Delaware river. The po
lice. however. place little credence In
the theory.
Another theory that has been ad.
vanced is that DIR. Wilson may have
been murdered by a woman whom Dr
Wilson had operated upon. 1t is said
that this woman may have been an
noyed by DIR. Wilson. who knew her
secret, and to put a stop to the an
noyance sent the poisoned beverage
