SAYS DECISION
WILLNOT WEAKEN
CAUSE OF LABOR
A. R. SayIOr Considers Ruling
Of the Supreme Court
a Slap at Free
Speech
THINKS COURT WAS FOOLED

The decision by the Supreme Court Of
the United States that labor organizations
nre liable to damages for boycotts brought
against manufacturers moved in inter.
state commerce under the Sherman anti
trust law. is not alarming local labor
union men according to A. r. Saylor,
secretary Of the Central Labor Union and
one Of the moving spirits in Wilmington
labor circles. Mr.. Saylor discussed the
decision briefly this morning. asserting
that the latest Of the decisions that have
been made by the United States Supreme
Court against organized labor would only
serve to make union men the more de.
termined to hold together In their opposi-
ton to the open shop.
Il regard this decision as one against
free speech and free press" asserted
Mr.. Saylor this morning Working men
surely have right to publish among
themselves the concerns which. T. obtain
their fun rights, they should not patron
ize. A certain western concern itself
which brought a case against the Amerl-
can Federation Of Labor for its Don't
Patronize List conducted a campaign OF
advertisement against the Federation
that under the decision favoring it's case
should have put it in jail for a million
years.
Considers II Outrage.
4 consider this latest decision an out
rage against organized labor. but agree
with Samuel Gompers, that the Supreme
Court OF the United States has been fooled
and doesn't know what Il is doing The
decision win work hardest against the
manufacturers who favor organized labor,
for now how can the Worklngman tell
whom he is TO buy from. For, OF course,
the decision can not prevent the working
man from ignoring the open shop II he
desires. 1t only takes away from us the
privilege Of publishing the open shop con-
Germs and crippes us only 10 that extent
Altogether, believe that Il viii serve
TO strengthen organizcd labor All around
Labor men now know that they have
something to fight against and Il will put
spirit into the unions. The effect OF the
recent fights against labor unions has
already been that the meetings Of the
labor unions and the central body in this
city have been more largely attended and
more vigorous than ever before"

WATER DOES
MUCH DAMAGE
Forster Shoe Company SuS-
tainS Big Loss by Ser
vice Pipe Bursting

Water very often does more damage
than fire. This was evidenced today
when H. S Rodeamel. manager Of
the Forster Shoe Company. at No. 4O7
Market street. opened his place Of
business to find the entire store flooded
with water Investigation resulted in
finding that a service water pipe on
the third floor OF the building had
bursted and all night long the water
flowed from the broken pipe. finding
its way TO the floors below. The loss
sustained by the shoe concern cannot
be ascertained at this time but II will,
according to Mr. Rodearmel, reach be-
tween $500 and $1,000.
on the second floor Of the building
the Potts Commission Company. stock
brokers, have an Office and this firm
also sustained some loss but not TO
any serious extent. The water seemed
10 have run down between the walls
until it reached the ceiling Of the
first floor, and Il then percolated
through the plaster: and in consequence
hundreds of pairs Of shoes were dam
aged.
The cellar of the building was flood
ed and as soon as Mr.. Rodearmel learn
ed what the trouble was. he turned off
the water supply.

COLORED VOTERS
Sixth WardefS Preferred the

ing a Political Meeting

A meeting Of the colored voters Of
the Sixth ward had been called TO be
held In Johnson's Hall last night TO
choose a leader for the colored Re-
publicans to fill vacancy caused by
Postles' death, but no
meeting was held. But two or three
men assembled at the hall.
There were two reasons for this.
one was the inclament weather. but
the main one was that most Of the
oolored men desired TO see the
Chicken Trust show at the Opera
House. given by company OF colored
men and women. The Sixth warders
preferred the fun OF the show. with It's
droll negro comedians, 70 discussing
politics so far away from election.
AZ a recent meeting OF the Sixth
Ward Colored Republican Club a per-
manent organization was formed with
the following officers: william john
son. president; Amos Johnson, treas
urer. and Walter Harvey. secretary.
The object OF the organization is to
bring together the colored voters OF
the city and organize IL for the benefit
OF the Republican party. IL is not
probable that a successor 20 Mr.

endam TO be latitude l2.13 north and

most directly east Of Cape Cod and al
most south of Cape Sable.
transatlantic steamers generally 60
straight for Sable Islands and after re-
porting there BIZ wireless come down
the coast to New York.
Doubtful Whether it Will Sink.
The Staatendam circed the derelict
for an hour. then seeing no signs of
life, continued her course. With her
steel hull it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the vessel viii sink after the
fire has burned itself out. Apparently
the opening of the sea cocks had not
caused the hull to fill with water as
expected. It is supposed here the
valves were out of order. being swollen
by the intense heat and that they fail
ed to work. The size of the st. Cuth-
bert and the fact that she has by this
time probably burned nearly to the
waters edge and must lie almost even
with the surface. makes shipping men
here think she probably offers the
greatest danger to traffic that has
drifted into the Trans-O Oceanic course
in years. With the fogs prevailing
about Cape Cod and Nova Scotia at
this period Of the year the danger is
regarded as even greater than usual
