SINGER FACTORY
EMPLOYEES FEAR
INFRINGEMENT
Cut Down in Elizabeth's Big
Sewing Machine Plant Is Per"
sistently RumOred.
rspecinl to IN. Nsmar, star.l

ELIZABETH, Jan. 12.-Employees at
the Singer factory are discussing the
report that the number of working
hours at the plant will be cut down a
total of ten hours. starting next week.
This rumor is given credence In many
circles, but, of course, cannot be verb
fled, as the Singer officials are reticent
OF the matter, and will neither at
firm nor deny it.
According to the report, II is planned
to close all day Saturday, instead Of
half a day, as at present. 1t Is also
planned, according to the report, to
make the quitting time an hour earlier
in the evening.
1t is certain that at the present time
The factory has thousands Of orders
ahead, and is over-stocked. AT least a
score of employees there when ques-
toned today admitted this. In addi-
ton to this the concern has lost a
good deal of its export trade because
of the establishment of a plant in Ger
many. The adoption of new methods
of manufacturing the sewing machines
and tho use OF the latest devices have
also ended to lessen the working force
The rumor of the curtailment of the
number of working hours has been fol-
lowed by other reports of a more pes
simistic nature, none of which have
been substantiated.
Make Vacation Longer.
Prior to the 1ayoff three weeks ago
several hundred men were sent home.
The reason given for this action at
the time was that h company has
stopped manufacturing a certain style
IT, .Aa kaIrA~
back again. The vacation order fol-
lowed, and employees were much sur
prised at the length of the loaf" for
the reason that It seldom in years past
lasted longer thar a fortnight. During
the vacation several hundred employees
were called in. but only for a few days.
OficiaIs holding high executive posi-
tions at the plant, as we'll as the clerks
in the main and branch offices, were
laid off during the vacation. which is a
new departure for the concern. This,
too, has caused much comment.
The concern has been the mainstay
Of this city from an Industrial stand
point for a generation. II has holdings
worth several million dollars, and its
plant here is the biggest factory under
its control. About n out of every
nine persons I'm the city is employed
there.
While the news regarding the Singer
plant has not been of an encouraging
nature the announcement made last
night to a STAR representative by an
official of the United States Leather
Company's branch factory here, that
the plant would not close as a result
of the shutdown order issued from
the Boston office, pleases the scores of
men employed at the mandatory. The
official stated that there was no dearth
of orders, and that business was ex-
cellent. Sole leather is manufactured
at the plant. According to the order
of the company several of its branches
are to close.

mer. The veterinarians assure us that horses are better taken care of
to-day than formerl;, because they are worth double the money they
we're before the automobile put breeding farms out of business. If
this is the only reason il is not very reassuring. Anyway, when alb
normal heat comedies with such a scarcity of water that a special dis
pcnsation is required to keep running the mcagre seventy public
drinking fountains that serve for the entire Greater City of New
York, it goes hard with the poor beasts, even when their masters are
kind and thoughtful. In too many cases these latter mean better
than they know in caring for their dumb charges.
Supt. Thomas +. Freel, of the ). I. G. A., has been scattering
broadcast a brief set of instructions in many languages for the care
Of horses in hot weather which, if generally followed, might be
boon:
"Drive slowly. Cut down the load. Keep a hat containing "A
vet sponge on the horses head. Keep in the shade as much as pos
Nble, See that the harness is properly put on, and use pads wherever
it may chafe. Have the stable well aired, clean and comfortably
bedded. Water the horses more frequently than usual, give them
bran mash at least vice a week and cut down the regular allowance
Of oats by quart. If a horse drops, pour cold water slowly on the
tip Of the head, bu. keep it out of the cars. In these times Of
scarcity, it is well to carry a bucket in the wagon, for quick use i'll
case of emergency. Rub down the animals legs with a wet sponge,
and let him lie down a while in the shade.

His argument is simple. Competition is intolcrabe because it
J.. wasteful, monopoly Is intolcrable because it is tyrannous: therefore
there must be either socialsuc cooperation or governmental super
vision. Mr.. Perkins wishes governmental supervision, and he de-
sires the creation OF a court of business to make it more effective.
It is not clear why a new court is necessary. We have now an
ample amount Of machinery for the enforcement of law. The one
thing lacking is the efficient force to keep the machine operating
prohtaby. A few more resolrte prosecutions and wholesome con-
vctions would do the business world more good than twice as much
official and neglectful supervision.
Judge +. II. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors of thc
United States Steel Corporation, and evangelist of the world Steel
Trust that is going to make the original billion-dolar combine look
Ike a pikcr, comes out strong for "thc Golden Rule applied to bust
nsn" At a casual glance, this may seem lofter, broader and at the
ssme time more explicit than any proposition fathcrcd by Mr.. Per.
xhs, either before or after he quit tho stecl business.
Yet when You COMO to read the sermon on this text which Judge
Gary preached at the lhtc international steel conference, held in
Brussels. Belgium, il appears that his specifications and limitations
rodify the original maxim completely off tho map. His application
o. the Golden Rule IA meant to be only toward competitive neigh
bos ION the inside Of the steel interest. Moreover, there is tho
