day that Libby Garrabrant, the woman

finally succeeded in obtaining her re-
lease.
The murder created great excitement
at the time it was committed. The

TRADES COUNCIL
BACKS AATTERS
IN GREAT STRIKE
Essex Labor Unions Offer Moral
and Financial Support
in Battle.
SHAL y0Y TELLS WHY
THE WORKERS WENT OUT
Engineers and Firsrnen Express
Willingness to Quit Work
in Sympathy.

While the Essex Trades Council
went IN record last night as being
willing as a body to assist the United
Hatters of North America morally and
financially in the present strike, there
are a number of individual labor or
CARNATIONS that intend to go even fur
Their by calling their men out of the
hat shops in order to help the matters.
Among those who last night signified
their willingness to help were the en-
gineers and firemen who are employed
in the hat shops. The representatives
Of the Hatters' Union said that they
did not think il would be necessary, as
the outlook was that the trouble would
be adjusted in a very short time.
Frank p. Shalvoy, vice-president of
the United Hatters of North America,
mad a statement of the origin of the
trouble and the action that had led
up to the Association of Hat Manu-
~facturers deciding to stop using the
union label. Mr.. Shalvoy said that
while his organization felt that the
manufacturers intended to make a fight
for the Geyer firm, 1T was not believed
that the difference would extend to
ceasing to use the label. e..
GAS they have done so," said Mr..
Shalvoy, 1--WE could not do anything
else but call our men out"
AS the result of Shalvoy's statement
George A. Leary moved that the Coun-
Gil go on record as giving the matters
its moral and financial support, and
that the delegates report to their or
CARNATIONS to do the same. There was
no dissenting vote.
Delegate John Lang, of Hat Finish
ers' Union No. IA, said 1t would be well
for union men to destroy their old hats
when purchasing new ones, sc that the
old ones could not be used again.

WORK so BAD
THAT HE LANDS IN JAIL.
Edward MONEYS Story Gets
His Release.

Pathos and comedy were equally
blended in the arraignment of Edward
Money, of 1923 Market street. in the
First Criminal Court today. Mooney,
who is about 50 years of age, was ar
rested yesterday by Policeman Keane
for having caused a disturbance in a
jewelry factory at Park and Mulberry
streets. He applied for work at the
factory and when told that no men
were needed became so insistent that
the manager called in Policeman
Keane.
II have been looking for work for
MONTHS he said, "and l suppose in
my desperation I did go too far. l am
strong and we'll able to work, but no
matter where 1 look I am told the
same old story. Unless l get m
thing to do soon I won't nave a roof
over my head, and then God only
knows what will become of me-"
The mans story was SO sincere that
it touched Judge Hahn's sympathy,
and after giving Mooney a little nd
vice as to the futility of getting work
in the way he had attempted allowed
to go under suspended sentence.

In his rage he shouted his denuncia-
ton of the man who had thrown his
party, turning first to Pennington and
then to Dolan.
Mr.. President" he said. Il came to
the City Hall tonight as a Democrat,
elected by the voters of the First ward
came as a Democrat to sit with my
fellow, my boys, and to vote with
them. l didn't know her that there
was a Carey in the crowd"
He turned IN Dolan to continue, but
the presidents gavel and the uproar
from the gallery at the word Carey
stopped him. But only for a second.
I denounce that man." he cried,
shaking his finger at Dolan.
Alderman Wright said Pennington,
you should be ashamed of using such
language. Unless you stop I will ask
you to leave the chamber"
Wright leaned across his desk.
1T is you who should be ashamed for
getting your office in the way you
have" he declared. ~ have said what
L came to say, now I'll CO."
Democrats Return
He was back in a few minutes with
the rest of the Democrats, who decided
TO return and take part in the delibera-
tons of the body.
At intervals of five minutes. during
the succeeding session Wright rose to
move that Dolan's seat be changed to
the Republican side of the house.
Where he belongs Wright explained.
When Wright was not entertaining
the audience with his motion Alderman
James Shape of the Fifteenth, who APP
peared to be in a mood where nothing
but an expression of his thoughts in
public would satisfy him. was making
short speeches to any one who would
listen.
Surrounded by his bodyguard Dolan
entered the anteroom TO get his coat
after adjournment. There was no diff
Guilty about his getting through the
crowd of Democrats around the door.
All withdrew as he approached. Be
fore going to the street the Twelfth
warder stepped up to Pennington with
hand extended. The new president was
looking intentely at something in the
rear of the chamber at the time. 1t
several seconds before his eyes en-
countered Doian. Then. with most of
the spectators following him to the
-Four Corners, Dolan left.

Sheriff Harrigan received a tip today
that half a dozen men, representing

Nc appeal has been made to the

In the strike, which has now assumed

of Philadelphia, and the few men, it
employed or the dispute they had over
the use of the union label.
Union Label the Issue.
The conversation in all quarters to-
day was concerning the fate of the
union label generally. Members of all
labor organizations using a union label
were vitality interested in the hatters'
strike. 1t was commonly believed

the Associated Hat Manufacturers in
disseminating the use Of the union label
is but the first step in a general plan
among manufacturers in various lines
throughout the country to dispense
with the label, and thereby deliver a
powerful blow against the unions them
selves.
This is not only the greatest strike

exciting more interest among union
labor men than any other strike in
many years, as it affects them more
vitality. The blow is deemed to be
aimed against the union label in all
lines of trade, and for that reason the
hatters will be watched most closely
by other unions all over the country.

abuse of official authority ever wit
messed in this county, and the expendi-
ture of the money of the county there
for was entirely unwarranted.
Further investigation by the grand
jury shows that Henry Bosset, the JUS
tice of the peace aforesaid, openly
boasts hat he took every complaint
made by the sheriff. Office for the past
two years, including the election cases
above referred to, at great expense to
the county, n further boasts that the
county still owes him several hundred
dollars, although these complaints could
and should have been made, without
cost to the county, before the police
justices of the city of Newark.
Bad Street Lighting.
THE grand jury further calls the
attention of the court to the fact that
main tho~roughfares of the county in
suburban neighborhoods, notably Upper
Montclair, are poorly lighted and fatal
accidents have resulted therefrom. The
municipal authorities should keep pace
in this important matter with the
growth Of their respective communities
and provide proper lights.
And the grand jury further calls
the attention of the court to the fact
that under the present system at the
handkerchief factory at the peniten-
tiary the prisoners work ten hours per
day. We would recommend a reduc-
ton in these hours to eight hours per
day.
Handkerchief Making.
1.-THE task imnoS21 unOO each man
is to finish twenty dozen handker-
chief per day. For each dozen above
this n cent per dozen is paid the
prisoner, and fine is imposed on those
who do less than this quantity. The
checking is done by an employee of the
manufacturer, and in cast Of dispute
the prisoner has no redress whatever.
We would suggest that a more i'm
partial system of checking be intro
dUced.
Under these conditions the prison.
ers are permitted but one hour Of exer-
else each week. 1t would seem advis-
able to alter said conditions so that
the men would have an hour each day
for this purpose"
The ~presentlnent was not read, as its
fling answered the purpose just us well.
The jurors celebrated the close of
their labors with a dinner at Achtel-
Stetter's this afternoon, when there
were the customary toasts and presen-
tations.
The foreman was remembered at the
dinner with "a handsome bronze
statuette, Joseph M. Byrne acting as
speechmaker, while Clerk of the Grand
Jury Timothy e. Scales, as a tribute for
faithful services performed, received a
purse of gold. Con%stabulary guards of
the jurymen were not forgotten.

HOOK WORM
Army Recruits Treated For
the Effects of The
"Lazy Bug"

Washington, July 22.---The hook
worm or lazy bug" as 1t has been
shown to exist in the southern states.
according to Investigations of the
physical condition of army recruits,
will form an interesting chapter in
the forthcoming report of the sur
geon general of the army. and prob
ably will lead to a widespread eff
fort on the part of boards of health
in the southern states to eradicate this
disease. which few years ago was
brought prominently to the attention
of the world in connection with the
Porto Ricans.
When the hook worm, referred to
In the medical world as uncinariasis,
was declared to be prevalent in Porto
Rico, resulting in tendency to In
dolence on the part of the patient,
who otherwise appeared i'm usual
health. there was no suggestion that
this peculiar parasite infected people
in the United States. Through the
very careful and thorough methods
that have been adopted in the United
States army, both in the selection of
recruits and in the care of men after
their enlistment, this disease has
been shown to exist to large ex-
tent.
This investigation has been pro
crossing quietly during the last six
or seven months, so that when
Surgeon General Torney makes up his
annual report he will have much data
to prove the prevalence of the hook
worm among soldiers, enlisted from
southern states. These recruits pass
ing through the army depot at Fort
Slocum, N. Y, were examined to the
number of 140, 109 of them being in
| tested with the parasite.
While tho hook work was so large
| ly prevalent. In only two Instances In
this series of Investigations was the
anemia sufficiently severe to cause
| their rejection. After being treated
all of the Infected soldiers gained in
weight and improved in physical con-
| dition generally.
Following this investigation of re-
cruits II was discovered that uncin.
| ariasis was common disease
throughout the southern states. 1t Is
estimated by army surgeons that sc
per cent. of the recruits In the army
| today from the rural district OF
North Carolina, South Carolina

worm infection.
| 1t has been estimated that the cam.
paign waged by the army against the

WILL TRY TO
STOP THE WAR

Washington July 22--The moral
influence of .he United States, Brazil
and Chill will be exerted to prevent
any clash of arms between the repub-
lies OF Argentina and Bolivia.
Chill and Brazil will remain neutral
in the pending controversy, 1t Is under
stood having indicated its attitude to
this government already.
War between the two countries
would be very regrettable to tho
United States, which within proper
bounds, would do its best to prevent
It. The United States, however, will
not interfere unless request to do
so is received here from one or both
nations involved. This has been its
consistent policy In such cases.
That there will be much war talk
growing out of ,ne pending situation
Is the expectation Of the South Amer
lean diplomatic co.ony. That 1t Will
end in war they consider as a remote
possibility. Argentina's action, they
lsay, is simply an evident OF dissatis-
faction with the attitude OF her neigh
Dor.
