The Walter With Two Care.

A Cleveland party recently sojourn-
ing in a Toronto hotel decided to take
an automobile ride about the city.
They approached the extremely self
conscious clerk and asked him where
they could secure a car.
"Our head waitah has two, don't y
know" he replied.
It took some little time to recover
from this shock, but presently one Of
the party ventured to ask the price.
''Three an hour" was the answer.
That was voted satisfactory, and at
luncheon one Of the Clevelanders
turned to the nearest waiter.
"Who is the chap that owns two
automobiles7" he asked.
II am the chap" the waiter replied,
and he threw such n freezing empha-
sis into the word CHAP" that 1t wos
fairly frost cracked.
They finished their luncheon before
they had enough courage to ask the
price.
"Four dollars an hour" the waiter
replied with naughty Indifference.
Then they went uptown and hired 0
very good car for SO an hour.-Cleve
land Plain Dealer.

NEW YORK'S AUTO LAW.
Retaliation on Part of Pennsylvania
May Bring Relief.

On August 16 Attorney General
O'Malley of New York instructed
the authorities of that state that
Pennsylvania auto licenses did not
allow any tourist from that state to
enter New York. When the law
went into effect on July it was sup
posed that Pennsylvania autos could
tour in New York for 10 days, that
being the nonresident limit in this
state, and the New York law allowing
exemption to all states exempting
their autos.
The New York law, however, has
no time limit to their nonresident
exemption, and the attorney general
holds that as our exemption has a
limit, Pennsylvania does not extend
like privilege" and consequently
all Pennsylvania autos must take out
licenses and all chauffeurs must be
examined.
Since this decision the attention Of
the highway department at Harris
burg has been called to the second
section of the Pennsylvania act which
provides that this provision GO
days) shall not apply to residents OF
states which do not extend similar
privileges to residents of this COM
monwealth."
Retaliation on the part of Penn
sylvania will no doubt secure an
amendment of the New York law, or
a more reasonable Interpretation oil
the statute.

THE SITUATION IN MERIDEN.
About $50 or 100 Men Out In ISL
yer City, at Present.

MERIDEN, Ct, Sept. 13.-The
glass workers of the Wilcox Silver
Plate company, which is Factory n
of the International Silver company,
Joined the strikers of Factory T
(Meriden Cut Glass company and
of j. j. inland & Co. One hundred
and fifty or sixty men are out.
THE movement is spreading faster
than we anticipated" was the sig
nificant statement made this morn
ing by George w. Chance, president
of the local union.
Committees, in accordance with
action taken at a general meeting of
the glass workers, informed the j.
d. Bergen company and the G. F.
Monroe company that the men would
not do any work for the factories
by the strike.
Mr.. Chance intimated the situa-
ton was tense in the shops now
running. 1t has been deemed best
by the union not to make demands
at these two factories, for the pres
ent, at any rate, but the men will
insist that no assistance be given
the other shops in the way of doing
work for them. Disregard of this
demand undoubtedly will mean
walkouts.
After giving the Factory N man.
agement "a hours additional time
in which to answer their demands OF
54 hours work with pay for a full
week of SO hours, strictly union
shops and a voice in naming the
prices on piece work, the men were
informed the company could not
/ hoi dc on1 fhnu ar1i
out.
They assembled with their fellow
craftsmen at knights of Columbus
| hall and made a report.
Manager Harmon estimated twen
| ty-five or thirty men had left Fac
| tory N which closed the glass de
partment. This company replied tC
| the men much as did the NilanC
company officials-that fall orders
had been taken under the presen
| cost of manufacture.
| The glass cutters at Factory \
have been working as hours week
While the situation at first glance
seems odd, it is explained that il
the matter of hours action is takel
for the future and that recognition
of the union in the glass department
and the prices of work are timely
The union reiterated the asser
ton made to the Journal that th
| INLAND factory is closed; that per
| haps an official or two or fore
man might be working, but tha
was all. The inland company man
agement insisted that the shop wa
running with q few employees. Th
union also maintained that Factor
was closed.
The union has seen no strik
breakers and knows of no attempt
by the factories thus far to resum
| operations.

ABOUT THE FESTIVE OYSTER.

The New York Times editorially
discusses the oyster, topic OF some
ir tcre~. Just now. 1t declares that
the inhabitants of that city will eat
at least 10O,000,000 of the bivalves
between now and the 30th OF next
April. AS to the quality it notes that
the thin ones, those with a saline
taste, are good to eat, while those
that have been "foated" into white
ness and fatness may be good or bad.
II good they will be sold by dealers
who display a license issued by the
health department, certifying that
they have not been fioated in streams
that bear sewage.
The oysters of New York harbor
have been condemned by the
health authorities. The season has
been dry, the streams are low and
laden with filth and the chairman oi
the health board predicts that oysters
fattened in them will be infected
The officials who inspected Interstate
shipments are seizing all packages OF
fioated oysters not tagged with GER
tificates of their purity. The people
of that city locally will insist on that
licensing OF dealers, while the coun'
try at large will insist that the pure
food authorities inspect what goes
into interstate commerce. The peo-
pie want the oyster to come with
clean bill of health and to show Just
how and where 1t acquired its white
ness and fatness.

NEW YORK ALL FOR TAFT?
Congressman Bennett, Old Port Jer-
Wis Boy, Feels Sure About II.

A Beverly, Mass, special says:
That New York is not an "insur-
gent" state, that It does not desire
a revision of the tariff and that a
majority of the upstate voters desire
to see harmony In order that the state
shall go for Republican can didates to
give the Taft administration an in
dorsement are the views of Repre-
sentative William s. Bennet, who was
here to see President Taft.

Congressional district, in New York
city and in Tioga, Delaware, Cortland,
Broome, Allegheny, Chemung, Tomp-
kins, Cattaraugas and Chautauqua
counties. Wherever I have gone
have talked the tariff and / find that
the men employed by manufacturing
industries are strongly in favor of the
Payne law. l talked tariff to a crowd
ed audience in Percy Nagle's district
in New York the other night and
my hearers were men from the east
side, artisans, mechanics and laboring
men. They listened to me an hour
and told me that they would have
liked two hours more of that sort
of talk. ! told them, among other
things, that was responsible for two
increases in the tariff, that l was
proud of 1t and asked their votes on
that ground.
They are not insurgents" in New
York. The farmers are prosperous
and do not want q change. When
the Democrats or some Republicans
who believe that the traiff should be
ripped up begin to talk in rural New
York they will find that they have
far from a sympathetic audience.

"In my opinion the Republicans will
win New York and the next house of
Representatives If the men who are
republicans and believe in Republi-

"I will tell you why l believe that
New York is going to stand by the
revision of the tariff of 1909 and
make it appear that they are satisfied
that it was a good revision. There
are in the state $4,000 manufacturing
establishments. These employ l.
100000 men. The wages paid
amount to $6,000,0O0 a year. The
amount of product put forth is $2,-
| 500, 100000, and this on capitaliza-
| ton CT $1,S0O,000,000. Do the men
of the Western country who profess
| to want the tariff reduced ever stop
to consider the stake in manufacture
ing establishments their own states
have in maintaining tariff, wonder
"In my travels l have found that
President Taft is steadily gaining
ground. He was stronger when Con
gress adjourned than he was before
| Congress met. He is far stronger
now than he was when Congress ad'

to win thoughtful people. His genera

NfCKS Barred FOR
BLOW OF Tie AK
Police Officers Await With Anx=
iety Their Fate at Hands
of Headsman Martin
Wall Will Probably Be Chief of
Detectives and Collins
Property Clerk

The calm that prevailed around po-
lice headquarters yesterday was con-
sidered simply as a precursor to the
storm that viii burst tomorrow. when
lit is expected Chief Martin will have
made himself conversant with the de-
tails of his new duties and viii be in
position to swing the AK with sweeping
effect.
The chief maintains an ominous
lreticence as to whose heads will fan
into the basket. but it is conceded that
most of the detective sergeants will be
lrelegated to street duty and friends of
the administrat ton will nil the vacan-
cies
WALL MAY SUCCEED COLBY
1t is also conceded that Captain Eu
gene r. Wall will be the new captain of
detectives, Colby's well known unpop-
iularity putting him out of the contest,
lalthough backed up by President Elan
merry of the police board. 1t is believed
that there viii be a change of the
lcaptains from one district to another
and it is the delay in effecting these
changes that is causing the postpone
ment in the appointment of captain of
detectives.
Colby, it is said, viii be placated by
being transferred from the southern
station to the central and Captain
Duke assigned to the southern. Cap
tain Anderson. the present head of the
detective department, will probably be
sent to the harbor sdistrict to take
Walls place.
COLLINS FOR PROPERTY CLERK
Corporal John B. Collins viii be the
new property clerk according to general
rumor, as the position carries a salary
of $500 a month and it is known that
the mayor desires to show his friend
ship for Collins in some such substantial
form This is the only plum remain
ling, except the detective sergeants,
who draw salaries of $3.50 a month.
Chief Martin was at his desk bright
and early yesterday morning and had
an hour or two at his disposal in going
through the list of members of the de-
partment and their respective duties
before any callers came to interrupt
him He has issued an order to com
pany commanders to instruct all SER
geants and others on station duty to
treat every one civilly and to remembe
that they are servants of the people
land not the peoples masters. Bru-
tally to prisoners or others will not
be tolerated.
In his talk to the captains yesterday
morning the chief impressed upon them
the fact that there was no necessity for
them to pay much attention to trivial
loffenses, but that they must concen-
itrate their energies to suppressng
footpads burglars, pickpockets and
lother criminals so as to make it so
hot for them that thex will give the
city a wide berth.
