COUNCIL TAKES AKES ACTION UPON
VARIOUS IMPOR AN NAT TIERS.
BARRIERS
PROPOSE TO
RAISE RATES


a monthly meeting of the Boss Bar
ners Association was held last night,
at which the proposition of formulating
q new scale of prices came up for dis
cussion. Action win be taken in this
line at the next meeting, on MAY Q.
Rates will be generally increased. Such
work as hair trimming over the ears.
neck shaving and the like, which iour-
neymen often do for additional tips.
will be charged for according to the
scale. The price of beard trimming
will be increased. Trimming over the
ears with a shave, win be fifteen cents
extra. The present price of fifteen cents
for shave will be maintained, but five
cents extra will be charged for neck
shave, thus making the price of the
average shave twenty cents instead of
fifteen.
The use of various preparations will
be charged for in the regular way and
no additional work will be done or
material wasted for tips. II Is yery
likely that a rule will be adopted where
by any jonrneyman caught doing favors
for tips, win be discharged summarily.
The barber shops are now licensed by
the Board of Health. Each one of them
is to be kept in clean and sanitary
state. Certain operations. have been

200 MEN STRIKE AT
PARDEE TILE WORKS
Left Plant at | O'clock This After
noon After Demanding Increase
About 100 Girls Affected.
NO R1OTlNG is EXPECTED

Over 200 men working IN the tile
pressing department Of thesC. Par
dee Works went on strike at /
o'clock this afternoon. after they
had demanded Increases of one cent
to one and a half cents an hour. The
strike of the men threw about
hundred girls out of employment and
as result three hundred employees
OF the tile department are out of
werk.
The men say they are getting
thirteen and half and fourteen
cents an hour and they demand a.
uniform scale of fifteen cents an
hour. This the company did not
feel disposed to grant and the men
marched out in body about /
o'clock. Since the tile pressing de-

SHOE STORE
IS ENTERED
AND ROBBED

A thief, or thieves, entered the
shoe store of Samuel Stescovitz, at.
So Smith street, last night. and made
away with about twenty-five pairs Of
shoes and a similar number of boxes
Of rubber heels. The stolen goods
were valued at SIS.
Entrance was gained through a
rear door, two holes bored through
the door permitting the robbers to
open the fastenings. The police are
satisfied that the robbery was com-
mitted by someone familiar with the
interior of the store, and they hope
to make arrests today.
A fact strengthening the gupposi-
tion that the ground was familiar to
the thieves, Is that the rear Of the
store is only reached by a series of
winding passages and alleys leading
from a lane at the side OF A. d. Al
chin's confectionery store, five doors
away. The path leads through two
yards and over a tall fence, suc-a
cession of footprints in the soft mud
proving this to be the course taken
by the marauders.
The rear door Of the store is Sc
cured by two hooks. Under each
hook a hole was cut, evidently with
a penknife, and the hook raised. The
robbers made off by the same chan
mel. Shoes were scattered all over
the floor of the store when Steseo-
vitz opened up this morning. He
Immediately reported the matter 10
the police.

SAY RAILROADS
DISCRIMINATE
HANDLING CLAY
6Erom the NEWS oorespondent.,

Washington, April 5:-some of the
shippers Of clay in the vicinity of
Perth Amboy and Metuchen have found
that the railway companies are discrim-
mating against the domestic shippers
in favor Of foreign clays which are inn
ported. In some cases, it is asserted,
the discrimination is so marked that
at New York the discrimination Of
some shipments for the west is SO
great that it practically absorbs the
duty on the foreign clay and destroys
the protection for the domestic pro-
duct
sTo remedy this unfair discrimination
which is harmful to the interests Of
the local clay merchants, bin has
been introduced which, if enactesI, will
compel the railway comp%11es to
charge the same rate of freight on all
foreign clays as they do ON like quality
Of domestic clays for equal distances
and points Of shipment. The same dis
elimination is found to prevail in ship
ments Of clay from the south to north
ern points for transshipment to the
west.

not work. They didsnot strike, but
went home.
Thus far the strike has been a
peaceable one. There was no riot
ing or fighting whatever Upon be-
ing refused demands, the men say,
they quietly walked from the fac
tory to their homes.
Another Strike Averted.
A number of clay miners In the
employ of the Didier-March Com
pany, OF Keasbey, threatened to
strike this morning when they were
refused an increase in pay. They
demanded an increase of their fore-
man and he went to the company's
office. The demand was refused. AT
ter some deliberation the men decid-
ed to remain at work The men are
reported to be getting as good pay
as other workmen in the vicinity, but
wanted an increase, because such
had recently been granted to the
men in the Didier-March factory.

VATICAN INCIDENT STILL

eolaI BY UMlted Press Wirs.

Special bN Untted Prese Wtre.
Rome, April 8 Colonel Roose-
Welt and King Victor went riding
this morning in the royal automo-
bile. They visited many interesting
spots throughout the city. Both
were dressed quietly and the equip
aments were simple, They attracted
little attention.
The king and Roosevelt were like
chums. The king called for the
colonel at the hotel and then began
the tour of the city. Automobiles
followed containing police, c0rres-
pondents, etc. They visited the cav
airy barracks. Roosevelt said the
cavalrymen's riding excelled any
thing he had seen on western plains.
They visited the great uncompleted
tomb of iKng Victor Emanuel
Roosevelt is displeased with the
statement issued last night by Rev.
DR.. Triple, of the Methodist church
Of Rome, which he considered an at
tempt to launch sectarian contro-
yersy. He mas called off the public
reception tomorrow at the American
embassy. He is worried, fearing
his Catholic friends In America will
fail to understand his position and
determining the causes.
King Victor Emmanuel in talking
with Colonel Roosevelt used English,
which he speaks fiuently. Mr.. Roose-
welt replied fully to the kings ques-
tions and talked not only Of his Afri-
can experiences, but Of conditions In
the United States and also touched on
great international subjects.
Never Meant 10 Visit Methodists.
After returning from the drive Mr..
Roosevelt was asked by several re-
porters to go more fully into the mat
ter OF the pope's refusal Of an inter
view, but he declined to be- inter-
viewed. The only question he an
swered was one that brought out that
he had not, either now or previous to
the Vatican's action, any intention to
visit or address the Methodist church
In Rome.
The Rev. DR.. B. M. Tipple, pastor of
the American Methodist church In
Rome, declared today that no invita-
ton had been given to ex-President
Roosevelt to visit that institution and
that he had never been expected to
call or to make an address.
while the work Of Methodism In
Rome" said Mr. Triple, started the.
rumpus, it is no longer Methodism or
any other ism, but the great principle
of federation. Mr.. Roosevelt has struck
blow for twentieth century Christi
anity.
..The representatives of two great
republics have been the ones to put
the Vatican where is belongs. Presi-
dent Loubet refused to accede to Vati-
can conditions, and now Mr.. Fairbanks
and Mr.. Roosevelt come to maintain
the dignity and independence of Amer
lean manhood in the face of Vatican
tyranny.
After the Fairbanks episode the
Methodists never dreamed that the
Vatican would commit similar blum
der with Mr.. Roosevelt That 1t has
done SO is added proof that the policy
prevailing there Is the same yesterday,
today and forever. The Vatican is the
Vatican. The world advances, but the
