In the centrals Of the Berlin telephone
system are not enthusiastic advocates
OF the advancement Of women, Of the

appoint men In their stead.
The sweet-voiced young women ex-
plain In their petition, amid fgurative
signs and tears. that the feminine
superintendent cause perpetual bick-
erings; provoke. constant unhapp!ness
among the employees. Girls who are
clever or pretty. or even better dress
ed than their sisters. attractive girls
who have good-looking young beaux
to escort them home. are made wretch
ed by the superintendents' jealousy.
The petition cites instances where q

enough to subject the wearer to the
persecution OF some elderly, addressed

TELLS UNIONS NOT
TO FIGHT OPEN SHOP

The address Of George A. Eastman.
In a meeting of union laboring men
held in Mannebach's hah. Tuesday
night, In which he advocated the open
shop, was the cause OF hot discus
sion. in which the speaker was assailed
from all sides, but he stuck to his
point, maintaining that he was right.
THE union made a great mistake
when II fought the open shop" he
said. ut fell into trap neatly set
by the employers. There are about
100000 union men In this country
and 100000 non-union men. When
the fight started against the open shop
1t made these 100000 non-union men
the enemy OF the union and the friend
Of the employer.
when President Gompers was
turned down by the Republicans and
afterwards had his plank Endorsed by
the Democrats X threw those 17,000,'
900 non-union men against Bryan and
for Taft. You defeated yourselves"
The speaker urged the union men to
cooperate with the non-union men In
securing better conditions, and moi
fight against them.
LET the non-union man work beside
you. He Is a fellow workman. Fight
for him and see that he gets better
pay and shorter hours and you have
made him your friend. AS 1t is now
you have narrowed your fight to one
for jobs-jobs for union men and none
for non-union men,"

LIFE MISERABLE.
w. N. TATE SAYS HE WAS sTuNo
IN PURCHASE OF HOUSE AND
~ WANTS MONEY BACK.

"Cockroaches? There were millions
OF them. They swarmed over every
thing In the house. and TO prevent
them carrying the dinner of the table
we would put the table legs In pans
OF water"
This statement was made by Mrs.
Tate in Justice DeGaw's court, Wed.
nesday morning, when her husband,
Wheeler N. Tate. brought action to re-
cover from Mrs. Agnes Wilson the
sum Of SIS paid on the purchase OF
the house at No. 106' Twenty-ffth-st
Before the bargain was made. Mrs.
Tate testified. she asked Mrs. Wilson
about the condition of the house. and
was assured IL was clean, and free
from bed-bugs and other vermin.
1.-THE cockroaches made life miser-
able for the Tates, and after living
among them for three weeks, they re-
used to pay any more on the purchase
price of the house. Mrs. Wilson then
started proceedings to GUST them. The
Tates did not walt to be evicted, bur
moved away, and then demanded the
advance money back. This Mrs. Will
son refused to return and the suit
followed. -
I'VE simply couldn't stand It," Mrs.
Tate said. Those cockroaches over
ran everything we had. They got into
the beds, and we could scarcely sleep.
They got into the bureau drawers. and
when we opened drawer there stood
several hundred Of the little pests to
greet u.s. Oh. II was awful! I hired
an exterminator to come to the house,
and after his visit I swept up three
large panfulls. but 1t seemed to make
no difference in the supply. There
were millions left"
Justice DeGaw was at loss how to
decide the case, and held 1t up for
con aid Grafton

OPPOSE NEW ALLEY
CLEANING SCHEME

One organized protest has been
made against tie new method Of alley
cleaning adopted by the council re-
Gently by which all ashes and rubbish
are to be collected from receptacles
placed In the back yards of citizens.
rather than from dump piles in the
alleys. A number of residents OF the
Seventeenth ward. living between
Sheridan, Field and Agnes-aves., and
Champlain-st., have asked the council
to alter the ash ordinance 30 that they
can use the alleys as Of old.
Their petition. hch Is headed by
VIM. G.. Rankin, sets forth the belief
that the alleys are not for ornament
nor for thoroughfares but as a con-
venience to the citizens. They want
to use the alleys as a temporary de-
pository for refuse and submit that 1t
is cheaper to clean the alleys two or
three times year than to collect this
material weekly.
The ordinance committee will re-
port adversely to their request that
the new ordinance be- changed TO give
them a chance to have dirty alleys
again.
