PRUDENTIAL JOB
STRIKE UNSETTLED
Labor Trouble Over Stationary
Engineers Due to Rival
Unions.

Tbs labor trouble which star j yes
terday on the new Prudential buildings
had not been settled by noon today.
The stationary engineers, over which
the dispute arose, are still at work on
the Job, and from all reports intend to
stay. The other men say it is not a
question of wages with them-simpfy
that the engineers, although union men,
are not AFFILIATED with the Building
Trades Alliance, which controls the
labor situation in this section.
There was a meeting of the delegates
from the local trades affected this
morning at headquarters in Washing
ton street, but nothing definite was
further than to remain firm until
the firm of Post & McCord, who have
the iron work In hand, or the Hedden
Construction Company, had made some
arrangement whereby the New York
engineers on the job were replaced by
men who were in accord with the labor
organizations hereabouts.
The Prudential Company itself has
nothing to do with the trouble.

1000 STRAY
DOGS ROAMING
C|TY'S STREETS
So Says Thomas j. Carter,
Warden of Humane So
ciety's Shelter.
PROBLEM OF GETTING
RID OF THEM A HARD ONE
From Fifty to Eighty CANNES
a Day End Existence in
the Pound.

#, according to the statement of
Thomas J. Garter. warden of the HUI
name Society's Shelter at 400 North
Fifth street, there are at least 1000
stray dogs roaming the streets of our
city. what becomes of them?
This is the conundrum now being
solved by Mr.. Carter and his two able
assistants, James Gilsenau and Henry
Gerber. They are the men you see
every day driving through the city, on
the watch for all stray dogs, and their
duties are anything but pleasant. They
have all kinds of trouble to contend
with and are hailed into court many
times every month by owners of ami
mails which they have picked up.
Don't Touch Dogs with Collars.
It would be we'll to bear in mind
these men do not touch an animal that
wears a collar. Once at the shelter
nothing but the payment of 81 will
secure the animals release.
Mr.. Carter and his assistants gather
In from fifty to eighty stray dogs a
day. The animals are held from forty
eight hours to ten days before being
destroyed.
The manner in which this is done Is
most humane. There is a regular hour
for the executions. and the whole oper-
alton Is over in a moment. 1t is done
by the use of chlorine and charcoal
fumes, pumped into a large cage with
a sliding floor, from which the bodies

Well Cared For.
While the animals are at the Shelter
they receive the pest of care, being
well fed. and if there is anything wrong
with them, they are placed in the hos
pital.
The Shelter Is located in a fine po-
sition, having open grounds all around
it. we'll supplied with shade trees. 1t
includes. beside the open dog yard and
the hospital, a private dog house, with
screened for the convenience
persons who desire to board their
animals while away for the summer.
This can be done for a nominal sum,
and the dogs are we'll taken care of,
getting plenty to eat, with a fine place
to exercise in, and a bath twice a
week.
Besides the dogs all kinds of pets,
such as cats, rabbits, parrots, canaries,
horses, etc. are taken care of. No
animal that a home can be found for
is killed, and many a pet finds its way
to a good place through the society.
The animals are given free of charge.
The Humane Society of New Jersey
is an outcome of that increasing public
sentiment which declares that it is a
moral and civic duty to consider the
rights and needs of dumb animals.
The aim of the society Is to prevent
cruelty and alleviate suffering.
