WEST SIDE PITCH DIRK.
Lighters Strike, LeaUing Large Sec
tiOn UHhOut LIGHT.

The upper West Side. from 12Oth street to
1S1st street. west of Eighth avenue. was
plunged in darkness last night because of the
failure of the lamplighters employed by the
weIsbach Street Lighting Company to appear
for work. The 1ampghters apparently have
gone on a strike without letting their employers
know anything about II.
Police reserves were sent out from several sta
tions when complaints against the unlighted
lamps began to roll in. The reserves were de-
tailed to watch the streets where many rObberies
have occurred recently. excellent oppor-
tunity for thieving in store for the burglars
who have been infesting the upper West Side
The Harlem branch of the Consolidated Gas
Company sent out one hundred men to light the
street lamps when 1t found that the regular
lighters would not report for duty. The men
could not cope with the situation at all, because
they had no lighting sticks with which to light
the lamps. They had to clirlp up the lamp
posts and ignite the gas by of candle or
match which took so long that headway was
gained in their attempt. and most of the Har-
lemtes had to grope about in the darkness.

Law IN FORCE TO-DAY.
Many Foreign Firms Prepared to
Make Goods IN Britain.

London. Aug. 2S.-The year of grace granted
to foreigners under the patent act expires
to-day. and henceforth foreign patents in this
country may be revoked by Great Britain after
a reasonable interval. unless the patented arti-
Gle is manufactured or the patented process Is
operated in the United Kingdom to an adequate
extent.
y great number Of foreign firms already have
taken sites and started works in Great Britain;
many others are making arrangements to do
so. These are mainly German and American
firms.
Sir Alfred Jones. head of prominent firm of
ship owners. estimates that S12J Jeroop0 will
thus be invested here for the manufactur of
articles formerly manufactured abroad, and
prominent expert in patent law thinks that no
fewer than eight thousand PATENTS granted to
foreigners Will come under the law
Much self-congratulatiOn is INDUCED in by
the morning newspapers, which publish edito-
rials on the benefits accruing to British industry.
especially as several firms already have taken
sites for factories and planning works much
larger than those needed for the manufacture OF
patented articles, the ground that it is i'm
possfble to run factories in Great Britain
PATENTS alone. They will therefore manufacture
goods hitherto imported ready made and a
consequence trade generally will receive the
benefit the new works giving employment to
many British workmen.

BRITAIN'S PATENT LAW
International Union May Urge Re
taHatOry Measure.

Stockholm, Aug. 27.-The International Con
gress for the Protection of Industrial Property,
now in session here, took up to-day the discus
sion of the effect of the British patent act on
foreign countries and touched also on other i'm
portant questions. There about three hun
dred and fifty delegates at the congress, includ-
ing twenty-one official delegates, who represent
that number of foreign countries. Edward B.
Moore United States Patent Commissioner. said
to-day:
patent law probably will be that the majority
of nations belonging to the International Patent
Union Will enter protest against II and recon-
mend to the official cogress to be held next year
combination against Great Britain be formed.
whereby Great Britain must either become a
party to its proposal or be excluded from all
the benefits to be derived from such COM
bnation
No specific measures have yet been formu-
lated. but they doubtless will be in course of
the congress. I believe that the international
congress will not back down inch in lis atti-
tude this subject
The attempt the part OF the congress to
have the law modified Is of particular interest
to American manufacturers of machinery,
largely used IN British factories. who. having
obtained patent rights In Great Britain supply
t. British factories machines made in the United
States
There has been Il widespread protest against
the enforcement Of this law, particularly on the
part of the United States and Germany but the
British government has shown signs of an
intention TO modify it in any way.
The Stockholm newspapers commenting on the
congress. pay high tribute to the Importance Of
Commissioner MoOre's work.
