IN EFFORTS FOR
BUILDERS STRIKE

Trades Council.
UNION PAINTERS Go OUT
FOR INCREASED WAGES,

Union painters and p~aperhangers or
this city and the West Hudson towns
went on a strike today for more pay.
1t is estimated that more than 1,OOO
men are effected. The painters want
1854 a day instead of $3.2S and the h
ers $3.50 instead OF 81.
Notification from the county council
of the Brotherhood of Painters, Warm
ishers, Decorators and Paperhangers
was received by the Master Painters
Association March u. 1t is the con-
tention of the men that the bosses had
ample time to consider the call for
more money.
Because of the trouble among the
house painters there was trouble for
Alderman Michael Leveen. He runs a
shore store at 1SS-190 Springfield ave-
nue. and sometime ago made a contract
with KurIandrik & Hoffman,, of IS0
South Orange venue to paint the front
of his place. 1t was stipulated in the
contract that none but union labor be
employed. The members of the firm
and their lone helper got 'on the job
today and were peacefully painting
panels when a delegation of union men,
who have their headquarters in 9
Prince street, came along and told the
bosses and the lone journeyman to
quit.
There was such a loud argument that
about 1000 people gathered in front OF
the alderlnan's place of business. That
official, in order to dispense the crowd
and at the same time to square the
situation generally, reminded the two
members of the firm of the clause in the
contract calling for union labor only.
They readily saw the point and the
work was stopped.
The alderman said today that the
work would not go on until union labor
was employed, as he was a firm believer
in it and added that had he known
that the lone journeyman was a nom
union man he would not have allowed
the work to go on. He does not care
particularly now when the job is fin
ished as long as union men will do it.

Dash Down Street.
Especial to the Newark star.l

MORRISTOwN, April William
Ridge. driver of Resolute Hook n
Ladder Company, Of the Morristown
fire department, played the part of a
hero this morning and saved the life OF
a little girl who attempted to cross
Park place In the face Of a runaway
horse.
c. Frederick Brown purchased a new
horse recently to draw his express
wagon. This morning he took the rig
to the Lackawanna railroad station.
The horse became frightened at a loco
motive, while the driver was in the
station, and dashed up Morris street to
Park place. In front of the First Pres
byterian Church Browns outfit collided
with a delivery wagon belonging to Sid
ney Bevans. This turned the course of
the horse somewhat, but did not lessen
his speed.
A little girl not seeing the runaway
started across the street. Driver Ridge
was riding UP the street on the hook
and ladder company's still alarm
wagon. He saw the child's danger and
springing from his seat upon the APP
paratus grasped the bride of the rum
away as 1t dashed past. He succeeded
in stopping the horse, but not before he
had been dragged several feet and had
sprained his left wrist and received sew
eral cuts and bruises. After taking his
team back to the frehouse the plucky
driver went to a drug store where his
hurts were cared for.

OFFICER SPENDS
$40 He RECEIVERS
FROM PRISONER
Jacob Emmer Ordered to Make
Good Shortage or 10
to Jail.

A case bristling with irregularities
and productive of some interesting side
lights developed this morning in
Third Precinct Court before Judge
Hahn, when Michael Bucyek appeared
to press a charge of grand larceny
against John Artie, his brother-in-
law.
Artie was accused of taking S110 from
a closet in the home of his brother-in-
law n this morning he admitted ms
guilt, pleading in defense of his thett'
that he had been out OF work anu
rather than beg or be a burden to any
one he took the money to bridge MIN
over his period of idleness. He was
held in $500 bail to await the action OF
the grand jury.
After the court had adjourned
Bucyek Captain Christie that
s1O4.6e had been recovered, and he was
anxious to get it. This fact had not
been brought out at the hearing, n
the officials were surprised to learn that
any of the money had been recovered.
They were still more surprised when
Jacob Emmer appeared to press a claim
of $40 which he said that Bucyek had
agreed to pay him for his services in
finding the prisoner and aiding in re-
covering the $104.62.
Emmer is a special officer and it is
said that he went to Long Island after
Artie and arrested and brought him
back to Newark without extradition
papers. According to Emmer's story
this took up two days of his time. and
he charged Bucyek $50 a day for his
services, although the latter says that
he paid all the expenses of the Long
Island trip.
When the party reached Newark
Bucyek says that Emmer demanded $40
for his work, and while Bucyek was
willing to pay something for Emmer's
time and efforts, he said that he con-
sidered that $40 was too much. He
Offered sis and finally raised the
amount to s25. both of which offers
Emmer is alleged to have refused.
Meanwhile tine money that had been
recovered was not saved to present as
evidence when the case came up for
trial, by it said to have been retained
by Emmer.
When the real facts in the case be-
CdHle h1OWH III court tnis HHoFiiiiS
Captain Christie and the court officials
were much annoyed at the peculiar
name in which the case had been
juggled and Immediately sent for En-
iner to explain. When Emner reached
court lie said he would turn over the
money, less the $40 that Bucyek had
agreed to pay him.. He was informed
that such a proceeding would not be
tolerated for a minute and the entire
amount was demanded. Emrner then
confessed that he had spent the $40
that was lacking and could not make
up the full amount.
Judge Hahn was communicated with
and he ordered that Emmer either
make good or be locked up. Emmer
finally agreed to appear tomorrow
morning when the case will be heard,
and the entire amount of money re-
covered will have to be turned over to
the court.
Meanwhile Bucyek was told not to
pay any more one to anyone OF
make any further agreements similar
to the one that Emner alleges was
made with him.

ing knife about ten inches long, Michael
Monorino. of SO Green street, 20 years
old, was held in $500 bail for the action

street. who made the complaint, had
Monorino as a helper on a wagon n

Friday Monorino is alleged to have said
that he would get Green after the
latter had received his money at the
end of the week and when Green got
wind IF the alleged remark he had the
youth arrested.
The knife in question was found on
Monorino when he was taken into GUS

him, Judge Hahn considered the case
sufficiently serious to send it to the
grand jury.

site, to have a drink. O'Brien took
a drink and the other man just touched
his lips to the bottle when he fell for
ward on the table. Frank Deinney, a
waiter, and O'Brien carried the man to

WALL STREET HAPPY AT
DISAPPOINTMENT OF CASES,

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE order OF
reargument of the cases of the United
States against the American Tobacco
Company and the Standard Oil Com
pany came as a surprise to the financial
district, where the news vas greeted
with a sharp upturn in security prices.
The impending decisions in both of the
suits have been hanging over the local
security markets for several weeks,
causing general ~reactionary tendencies
to the security lists. Prices bounded
upward from Q to 5 points when the
ticker flashed the news of the reargu-
hent.
Counsel for the Standard Oil Com
pany and for the American Tobacco
Company declined to make any ex-
tended statements at this time. De-
Laneey Nicoll, who argued the case of
the American Tobacco Company before
the Supreme Court, said;
"It is too soon to say anything now.
I suppose the reargument will not take
place until the reappointment of a
judge to take the place made vacant
by the death of the late Justice
Brewer ~. n
1t was the general belief in Wall
Street that the reargument would not
take place until fall and that a decision
in that would hardly come before
nex winter.
The upturn in prices on the news
from Washington was vigorous, and
the short interests rushed to w their
contracts. Union Pacific led the adj
vance, rising 81 points to 1879. Read
ing was also an active leader in the
market. advancing to 1874, or 81 points
over the earlier figures of the morning
Southern Pacific, United States Steel
and American Smelling and Refining
were active on advancing figures.

placed to the account of the stockhold-
ers. Defendants say that the surplus
so assigned is not at present available
for dividends. for the reason that the
whole thereof is needed as a working
capital for the company; that even II
all the said surplus of SIG, 693. $50, less
the amount derived from participating
policies and held without assignment,
belonged in fact to the stockholders in
the ordinary sense. the same would not
now be available for dividends;
Il. Because the company's new non
participating business is not yet July
established and a large part of SAID
surplus will be needed to finance the
same. 2. Because the company must
maintain a surplus equal to that main
tanned by its competitors in order 10
inspire the insuring public with conI-
dence in its stability and in its AFFINITY
to perform its contracts under all con-
tingencies. 3. Because the company
now has outstanding policy obligations
amounting to the sum of 81, ,lfS,S5O
and investments held to meet these OBJ
legations amounting to nearly two nun
dred millions of dollars; an average
shrinkage of only 5 Per cent. in the
market value of these investments,
which might easily occur during a
prolonged financial depression, would
entirely wipe out this surplus, and but
for the retention of the unassigned
profits derived from participating poh-
cies would produce a condition border

creased the benefits on its now indus
trial policies an average of 10 per emf.
and made such benefits to apply to all
Industrial policies issued since Janu-
airy 1. 1907. This aclon was taken by
the Prudential company to meet SINH
lar action on the part of itsc ompetitors
and was necessary to maintain the
business of the company.
The agents of the Prudential are In
constant competition with the agents
of its competitors in nearly every city
and hamlet in the United States and
Canada. and if the Prudentials' agents
were not able TO offer as favorable a
policy as its competitors. its business
would soon come to an end. Said n
fits were made to apply to all indus
trial policies issued since January 1,
1907. for the reasons:
81. That this course was k
bv the ~Prudential's competitors and
the Prudential was obliged to follow
them or suffer discredit among the IN
surfing public. 2. Because not to
have extended such benefits to policies
issued within eighteen months would
have led to the wholesale lapsing there
of. for the reason that it would have
been TO the interest of the p~olicyholders
to abandon their old policies and take
out the new and more favorable ones
offered by the company or its rivals,
to the great detriment Of the COM
pany."
