STRIKE AT
 PLUSH SHOP

A strike of 21 twisters at the plant of the Salts Textile Co.,. which has been in operation since last Tuesday, is assuming dangerous proportions be- cause of the liability of tying up the other departments of the big plant. Last Tuesday the company started to install a knotting machine which ties 10000 knots an hour. and in the esti- nation of the q twisters employed at the plant deprives them of their jobs. Immediately on the installation of the machine the men quit their jobs. The company has had trouble in getting the machine into operation. with the result that the other departments were work that could be performed was turned out by men who came here from Philadelphia. The company se- cured four men from the Quaker City, and of that number the strikers. it is said, have induced three to leave their positions, leaving only one twister at work in the plant at the present time. The strikers claim the machine is two year old invention brought here by Supt. Richard J. Steiner. At the plant today the reporter was informed that Supt. Steiner was out of the city. The strikers say that he is in Phila- delphia after more men.
 At the offices of the concern this afternoon it was stated that Managers Rhodes and Stead of the company were not in the city, and that they had heard nothing of a strike.
 The strikers are keeping close watch on all those who enter the fac tory who have the appearance of being a twfster or e stranger in the city.

jDIAz OF MEXICO DENOUNCED AS TYRANT BY Ex|LED CANDIDATE FOR
 PRESIDENT IN THIS COUNTRY

editor of two papers. member of the Mexican Congress and confidential friend of Diaz, became. not by my own zeal the candidate of that party for President. AS the result I am exiled in the United States, my papers sup pressed and destroyed. my business ruined. Furthermore the Democrat Republican party is disorganized through the fact that all of its lead CTS have either been put in jail or ex- fled. I am not an agitator nor @ rev who wishes to see that country estab- fish it's peace and prosper on the same basis as the United States.
 When I found that Diaz was de- termined to suppress all individual in dependence and freedom of speech in Mexico and that he intended to retail fate on my friends and relatives by persecution and imprisonment (my own brother being in jail as the re- sult) rather than cause revolt that might result in the sacrifice of human life and the disturbance of law and order. sought to establish a business for my support and return to my fam fly in Mexico where my wife and daughters sadly needed my support. I wrote to Diaz to this effect. through His Excellency the Mexican Ambassa- dor at Washington, but was advised definitely that I could not return to Mexico while Diaz lived.
 Is greater proof needed that the President of Mexico is a tyrant? He fears my return to Mexico because he knows that there are many who be- Heve in a constitutional government and only need a leader to make their demands plain"

INTERSTATE BUILDERS
 REFUSE HALF HOLIDAY
 DEMAND OF CARPENTERS
n Statement of Position Declare That Eight Hour Working
 Day is Short Enough

The Bridgeport Local Assembly of the Interstate Association issues a statement today in which it announces the refusal of the master carpenters in it's membership to yield to the de- mand for a Saturday half holiday. The statement follows:
 ITO whom it may concern-As is well known, communications to the press from this 4ozsssAzesica are of very rar1e occurrence. but at this time. when tn s question of further reducing the hours of labor in the building trade is being ag1tated, and which. if carried into ef- feet, must result in largely increasing the cost of constructing and remodel ing buildings, which question is of vast importance not only to the owners but more especially to rent payers, we think statement of our position and our reasons for such position. is due to the public and to the workingmen in our employ, and therefore submit the following:
 After very complete investieation. careful consideration and thorough dis cussion of the matter, the carpenter members of the Bridgeport Local As- sembly have unanimously decided that they will, so far as the hours of labor are concerned, continue to do business under exactly the same conditions that nave obtained for several years past
 As to amount of wages, this is a matter for individual arrangement be- tween employer and employe This method has been found entirely sat fsfactory to both parties. The expert mechanic receives his just compensa- tion, the one not so skil1ful is paid whatever his ability entities him to, and has the incentive to become more expert. and is also insured of prac- tically steady employment, which un- der fixed minimum rate-that is, the same wages to all irrespective of abil- ity and skill-would not be possible for obvious reasons
 "Our reasons for not further reduc- ing the hours of labor are as follows: We believe that eight hours per day for six full days per week. makes the working hours short enough, especially when we consider that the vast ma jority of skilled mechanics in all other

grounds on which Addie M Sherwood Of Greenfield Hill was granted a de- cree from Elmer B. Disbrow of Fair field. Fred M. Roscoe, keeper of the grocery store in Southport, said that he saw Disbrow more times intoxicat- ed than sober. Louis B. Switzer the Southport druggist, said that Disbrow's s capacity for holding intoxicants was enormous. Frances Cole of New York saw Disbrow often and couldn't truthfully say that she ever saw him sober. The couple were united Sept. Il, 1897.

 Because he wouldn't get rid of his two children by his first wife, Amanda Beard of Huntington left her husband Charles Beard, some years ago. The Boards married May 8, 1880. and the desertion Occurred Sept 27, 1888. Di- vorce granted.
 The court granted a decree to Ma bel J. Bouton of Ridgefield, for deser- tion on Jan. ?, 1907, from Samuel Bou- ton. They were united Sept. 8, 1899.

trades work nine or ten hours per dap, and for much less wages than are paid in the building trades
 The carpenter who works eight hours day is actually working more than two and @ half months less per year than his ten hour brother and even when compared with his favored factory nine hour brother, works one ana a haT~months less per year, and receives much more money for his work To further shorten the hours by cessation of work on Saturday afternoon means four hours less per week for fffty-two weeks-26 full working days-another month in the year. We respectfully submitSthat the limit has already been reached. and that any further reduction of working hours would be unreasonable and un- Justifable.
 The cost of building is. as every one knows, already high enough and should not be further increased. We do not believe that the members of this association would be justified by in any way adding to the cost of building. The natural result of short or hours means additional cost to the owner, and consequently to the rent payer, who must pay his part of the ased cost by paying more rent.
 For the reasons above stated. the carpenter members of this association at a meeting held on Thursday, the 9th inst, unanimously voted that they would make no change in the working hours in their trade. This position we are prepared to maintain under all circumstances. and we firmly believe that we have the support of practically our entire working force, and we sin cerely trust that we have the approval and support of the owner, prospective owner and the general public, who are for the most part rent payers and who cannot fail to see the injustice and un- desirable results which would accrue by reason of a further reduction Of working hours in our trade.
 This statement is official and will be the only one issued. and fs for the information of all interested in the matter.

 MESSENGER BOY STRUCK BY AUTO
Pride of the Postal Office a Vic tim of Painful Accident MAIhSTAY WIDOWED MOTHER Test Car of LOcOmObile Co. Hit Him as He DOdged Trolley
 Sprinkler

Delbert Ostrander, aged IA, a Pos tai Telegraph messenger boy living with his widowed mother and little sister at SO4 Main street, was run down and painfully hurt by a test ing car of the Locomobile Go. in front of his home late yesterday. He es- capped without broken bones but re- cieved sprains and bruises that will keep him from school and employ ment for several days.
 Delbert had just returned from Pros pect street school. He was preparing to help repair a picket fence near his home when he chanced to run across the street. Returnins he dodg- ed from a north bound trolley sprtnk- Ter in the path Of the automobile turning south from Tulip street into Main street.
 Chauffeur Bishop applied the emer- gency brake, but to no avail, the light chassis skidding and striking the be- wildered messenger and dragging him several feet over the pavement. Bish- op leaped from the car and with the help of a bystander carried the un- conscious youngster into his home.
 Mrs. Ostrander has just recovered from a serious illness. She became hysterical when Delbert was brought in bruised and Dleedlng rom n1S noS- trils. and for a moment she feared he had been killed. Delbert reused him self in time to countermand prepara- tions to summon the ambulance and turned himself over to his mothers care.
 Delbert's accident cast a gloom over the neighborhood where he lives, for he is an exceptionally popular young ster. Ambitious to become an expert telegrapher, he attends school day. times, and reports for duty at the tele- graph office and works until near mid night. He is practically the mainstay of the family. Until recently he lived in the country and had little chance for schooling.
 Youno Delbert is quite out of the ordinary run of messenger boys. He has a strange habit of speaking po- litely and tipping his hat. which had led those who met him in the capacity of messenger to believe he was not destined long for this world.

Divorce For Cook and Five Other Applicants to Superior Court

Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Superior Court. today. heard and granted six divorces, two of the freed couples be- 1ng residents of this city.
 Francis H. Cook, a clerk with the Crane Valve Co.,. who resides at 399 John street. was divorced from his wife. Emma B. Myatt Cook, who is q chorus girl with the Gaiety Theatre Go. The decree was granted for de- ssrtion, which occurred July 14, 1906. Cook said that his wife left him three times, the last time for good. In each case she went away with a theatrical company.

 T don't think so, not for a while" " was Cooks reply The Cooks have a daughter. whose custody the father ob- tained. The child is living with her mothers parents, in Hollister avenue. but Is supported by her father. Geo. T. Ellsworth and Albert c. Bodwell, clerks with the Crane Valve Co.,. were called as witnesses. They had known Cook for the past seven years, and said that he was we'll thought of by his employers.
 Edson Warner, a linotype operator, formerly connected with the Stand ard. but now on the New York Amer jean. was the plaintiff in a suit against his wife, Rosa B. Pacey Warner, of Coolin, Idaho. He told the court that his wife left him on Acg. g, 1906, to make a visit to her mother at Seattle, wash. and remained there. The deci- sion of the court was hastened by a letter from Mrs. Warner to the clerk of the court, saying that the decree could not be granted any too soon to suit her. The Warmers married in this city Sept. $, 1892, their marriage et that time being quite a ceremonious event.

EQUALIZATION BOARD ADDS $3,OOO,00O TO
 LIST OF BRIDGEPORT
in 1909 Same Board Added S6OOOOO0 But Tax Equa|za-
 tion Causes Reduction Of the Amount

The Board of Equalization has raised the grand list of Bridgeport sS,0Oo,oo In 1909 the same board increased the list of Bridgeport S6.O00. 900.
 The increase is made under section cS5s of the General Statutes. as amend ed, which was drawn to prevent in cqualities as between towns in the pay ment of the State and county taxes.
 The purpose is not to rectify 1neQuaI- fties between different classes of tax payers in the same town. otherwise the additions would be enormously larger.
 The addition to the grand list of Brid geport has been cut in half large ly if not entirely because of the ef- fective tax equalization program of the present administration of the city gov ernment.
 It Is safe to say that the Board of Equalization will lack justification for a similar increase in 1911.
 The increase to Bridgeport is made because of an acknowledged lower per centage of assessment upon certain special property, largely property of public service corporations and manu- facturing establishments.
 Bridgeport is upon a nominal basis of assessment at fair market value. Rut the rule has only been applied to dwellings and some other property. It has never applied to the extent of be- tng made operative against the prop erty of public service corporations and property used in manufacturing

HAMILTON TOMORROW WILL TRY TO FLY
 TO PHILADELPHIA

New York, June 10.-Arrangements are being made on Governors Island today for the start of the proposed flight of Charles K. Hamilton tomor- row from that point to Philadelphia and return. A guard of soldiers has been assigned to aid the aviator in his early preparations
 In the event the weather is not pro- pitious at an early hour tomorrow morning. Hamilton will postpone his flight as his contract calls for the round trip in one day. He proposes to land at spot six miles from the city hall, to re-charge his gasoline tanks and start immediately on his return. He expects to reach Philadel- phia by o'clock tomorrow morning and return to Governors Island by noon.
