MORRiSTOWN PAINTERS
QUIT NON-UNION SHOPS

MORRISTOWN, May al Morris
towns Painters Union started today
the enforcement of their union rules
regarding the employment of only
union men by Morristown master
painters. All but two of the local shops
have acceded to the demand of the
union for a closed shop and sixteen
men were called out from the w
shops where the union was denied rec
ognition. The union found places at
once for eleven of the men, the other
five preferring not to take another job
at present, as they had worked for
years in the shops from which they
were called, and wished to go back
there If possible.
The painters also demanded a Sat
urday half-holiday7 at their W ex-
pense. They had beer working forty
seven hours a week at 1928 per day, or
IL cents per hour. They now ask for
forty-four hours per week at Al cents
per hour, the painters losing the time
they dc not work. The union carpen-
tiers made a similar demand upon the
master builders on April l and all but
three of the builders have acceded to
their demands for a closed shop. All
the carpenters who went on strike are
working elsewhere.

S670,693.65 BUDGET
FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
$4,000 of Amount Is for New
Apparatus.

The fire department budget, approved
by the Fire Commissioners, calls for
$3.50, sos. So for the current year. This Is
about $11 900 more than was asked for
last year.
The principal items aside from the
salary and pension list. which amounts
to $500. 1868. IS, are $25, 900 for new APP
paratus, SO, 900 for hose. SIS, 900 for
buildings, s $500 for horses, sS5. 600 for
rev cable for the extension of the
underground fre-alarm system. There
is also provision for an automobile for
the deputy chief.
Chief Ashley, in a letter to the Mayor
and Common Council, states that
within the city fire limits last year
buildings valued at $14,177.159 were
erected, nearly half of which were
frame structures. Nearly one-third of
these buildings are located in the
Eighth, Ninth and Sixteenth wards.
He therefore recommended that a
double company be located in the Six
teenth ward with quarters to accom-
modate a hook and ladder and a fire
engine.
He further suggests that n gasoline
auto engine be placed in the house of
Engine Company q and that a COM
pany with similar apparatus be estab-
lished in the Forest Hill section of the
Eighth ward.
He also advocates a central fire sta
ton to be erected at the corner Of
Halsey street and Branford place. +
The chief also urges that a hre-boat
be added to the department. for use in
better protecting the rapidly growing
manufacturing plants along the river
front.
The budget will be considered at the
Common Council meeting on Friday
night.
1t was also decided to have five
smaller autos for the battalion CHIEFS,
in addition to the one for Deputy Chief
Sloan. In the budget provision was
made for the promotion of n captain
to the rank of battalionschief. this be-
ing in line with the policy of the board
to always have one extra battalion
chief; the raising of two lieutenants to
the grade of captain, four firemen to
the grade of lieutenant and for the APP
pointment of four additional firemen to
fill the vacancies thus created.

WATER CAUSES FIRES.

That water can cause fire may at first
seem a little unlikely, but this is Just
what happened on the western coast of
ireland only a few years ago. The
rocks which the great Atlantic rollers
had for centuries been slowly breaking
donw and piercing with great caverns
contained great masses of pyrites and
alum in their depths. At last the per-
sistent water penetrated to these, and
combustion Immediately took place,
producing heat fierce enough to set the
whole cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks
burned like a volcano, and great clouds
of smoke and vapor rose high in the
air. When at last the fire died out.
masses of lava and clay burned to brick
were found in every direction.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. May 2.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
2 points to an advance of 2 points, the
near months being relatively easy in
keeping with the cables, while later
positions reflected covering and com-
mission house buying based on less
favorable weather reports and fear of
a renewal Of low temperature in the
Southwest. Business vas moderately
active. The bull leaders gave May
support after the opening, and prices
steadied to a net advance of about 8
to 6 points.
Trading was very quiet later in the
morning, and no special feature devel-
oped beyond continued support of the
old crop months by the bull leaders on
dips. Prices ruled generally steady and
the market at midday was about los
points net higher.

KOSHER BAKERS STRIKE
FOR HIGHER WAGES.
Seventy-five Men Leave Shop:
Because of Differences.

Hebrew people in the hill section to-
day are eating matzoths, rolls and cakes
because there is no bread. No kosher
bread was baked today owing to the
fact that the bakers walked out after
presenting the employers with a de-
mand for higher wages, which they re-
fused to sign.
Jacob Denburg, 100 Prince street, one
of the employers, today said that the
demands of the strikers were out
rageous, and that the feeling of the
bakers for the people would not permit
of their signing the agreement in the
shape in which it was presented.
One of the conditions which the en-
ployers think is exorbitant is that re-
quiring wages for holidays when the
bakers do not work. Not only are the
legal holidays mentioned in the agree
ment for wage when no work is done.
but all Jewish holidays are included,
and some of these run for three days.
Overtime, which was paid for at the
rate of forty cents an hour, is sched-
uled at fifty cents, while Thursday
helpers, who receive $3.50, demand 81.
Bernard Weckstein, business agent of
Local No. 1877, today said that no. set
dement, would be made unless the agree
mcnts as presented were signed. -Four
bakers. he said, had signed. These
were; Aaron Abramowitch, Il Prince
street; Charles Fisherman, 100 Prince
street; Samuel Gelfand. Broome and
Waverly, and Charles Bloom, Broome
street.
Seventy-five members are on strike
and none returned to work today. He
said that similar wages to those paid
in New York were demanded and that
a cooperative bakery would be started
In which union wages would be paid.
The union would contribute toward this
5000 or 5000, but the plans a moi been
completed and were somewhat in
definite.
Charles Fisherman, 100 Prince street,
one OF those who signed the agreement,
aid that he had lone so, as his was a
union shop. The conditions did not af-
feet him, as he did not bake any bread.
Tho three others who signed were also
cake bakers and did not make bread.
He was of the opinion hat the bread
bakers could not accede to the demands
of the strikers and make their business
pay.

BALTIC. SURETY
COMPANY BARRED
FROM NEW YORK
Metropolitan Trust Co. Also
Scored by Hotchkiss in
Report.

ALBANY. May 2.-Superintendent
Hotchkiss, Of the State insurance de-
partment, that he has barred
from this State the United Surety Com
pany of Baltimore, a Maryland corpo-
ration, which did a large business in
writing excise bonds. He says an ex-
haustive investigation revealed many
irregularities.
Involved in the disclosures are Will
lam and Ernest ]. Knabe, members OF
the family of piano makers, who owned
stock control of the company, but who
have sold their holdings. and the
Metropolitan Trust Company.
The Metropolitan Trust Company,
which for many years has stood as an
example of all that a great trust CON-
pany should be in probity, conserva-
tism and wise and just management,
has been caught doing a sort Of pawn
prokering business.
Hotchkiss's Statement.
In a formal statement issued by
Superintendent Hotchkiss he said:
THE license of the United Security
Company to do business in New York
had not been renewed because it's man.
agement by a former controlling In
terest had caused an impairment of the
$500, 900 capital of the company by
about $780, 900 and various Irregularities
which, in the judgment of the depart
ment, made it unsafe for the company
longer to do business in the State.
Among the criticised transactions OF
the former controlling ownership, which
was vested in Messrs. Ernest j. Knabe
jr., of Baltimore, and William Knabe
of New York, were the retention on de-
post in financial institutions of cash
largely in excess of the needs of the
company, and. apparently, that the
Messrs. Knabe might borrow from such
financial institutions for their individ-
ual purposes; the writing of bonds IL
excess of the 10 per cent. limit re-
quired by the New York law; the max.
ing of collateral loans to friends and
associates OF the controlling owners
on inadequate security, and the Civ
ing of the company of bonds guaran-
teeing the payment of the primissor,
notes OF the Messrs. Knabe.
Received n Bonus.
The Metropolitan Trust loaned
money to the Knabes, taking their mott
secured by that of the surety company
1t discounted the note at 6 per cent
then charged a bonus of about s PEI
cent. more.
The New York insurance department
late in March directed that the TIVE
Knabes be eliminated from the com
pany, that the impairment of its CAPT
tai be met without any reduction IL
the gross capital of $500, 900, and tina
there be put into the company add
tional money so as to create a sur
plus of not less than 500, 0G0.
The stockholders, however, at a re
rent meeting reduced the capital Il
$3.50, 900, thereby making up the impair
ment and creating a surplus Of $1,000
This was not. however, in accordance
with the requirements of the i%nsuranci
department.
Under these circumstances. while
r~eceivership has been avoided, AM
there is an apparent surplus to policy
holders of $40, 900, the insurance de
| partment did not feel warranted il
permitting the company longer to con
/, tinue business in New York.

pit here with selling orders for a time
Their was excellent buying, however,
and, with the market showing a fairly
steady undertone, offerings were not so
free. and some of the local shorts were
disposed to ove Lower cables we're a
bearish factor at the start. So was the
Oklahoma crop report telling tina only
l per cent. OF acreage had been aban-
doned, as against ~ per cent. last year.
The May option was relatively stronger
than the others, owing to light de-
liveries. The market opened V to 1kG%

1.00%.

for the deferred months. Half q dozen
concerns were bidding for May without
getting much, and in consequence that
option displayed a greater degree of
hardness as to price. The market as a
whole started 81 to n lower to u
higher, with July A@% to %@R lower,
at 6lN to 81, M rallied to 62h In SYM

Unloading by some longs in new crop
months caused weakness in oats. Prices
opened a shade to AmM lower. with
September A@% to A@h down. at 3Sas

swing. The market opened 10 to 22h
off and went still lower, with Septem-
Der pork at 21.40, September lard Al
