Electricians Are Arrayed Against
 English Treaty
Strong Resolutions Adopted at
 Meeting of Local Union

The Bridgeport Electrical Workers Union adopted strong resolutions op- posing the proposed arbitration treaty between America and Great Britain, at its meeting this week, voting to send copy of the same to the com Inittee on Foreign Relations.
 The resolutions follow:
 Whereas. the government of the United States Is engaged in negotiat- ing a new arbitration treaty with Great Britain, to take the place of a treaty now in existence, and which Is amply sufficient for the preservation of peace between the two countries; and
 Whereas, Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, in a speech delivered in the House of Commons on March 13 in favor of Eng1and's two power naval standard, described the proposed arbitration treaty as the first step toward an alliance for war against third power; and
 Whereas, The agitation in favor of this treaty has been fostered in this country by Andrew Carnegie, an in- veterate enemy of organized labor, and is maintained solely by the lavish ex- penditure of the money he wrung from the blood and sweat of American workingmen; therefore be it
 Resolved, That we, as true friends of peace and representing the toiling masses who fill the army and navy, and have to bear the chief burden when war comes, and whose families would endure all the suffering, declare our unrelenting opposition to the pro- posed arbitration treaty with Great Britain for the reason that it is not genuine peace measure, but, on the contrary, a cunning scheme to bring about an Anglo-American alliance for the promotion of British interests alone.
 We denounce as hypocriticaI An drew Carnegie's pretense of zeal In the cause of peace and arbitration, and remind American workingmen of the blood of their comrades which his hirelings shed at Homestead as a di- rect consequence of his refusal to ar- bitrate or to settle the strike by any other peaceful method. The ostenta- tious championship of the cause of peace by such a man stamps the whole movement with the indelible brand of hypocrisy
 Resolved, That we respectfully call on the Senate to reject the proposed arbitration treaty with Great Britain as wholly unnecessary for the preser- vation of peace and contrary to the advice of George Washington when he warned against foreign and entangling alliances
 Further Resolved, That a copy be sent to every Central Labor Union, them to take like action, and also a copy to the Foreign Rela- tions committee of the Senate"

Eight Men Drop From SCaffoIding
 About Gas Tank One of Them Has Fractured Skull and Seven Others Seriously Injured Are
 in Hospitals

New Haven, June 17.-One of the most serious accidents which has oc- cured here in some time happened when a scaffolding about the huge new gas tank which is being erected for the New Haven Gas Light Com pany collapsed and dropped eight men to the ground. about 30 feet below. One of them, Robert Mc- Loughlin, received a fractured skull and seven others were so seriously injured that they had to be sent to the New Haven and St. RaphaePs hospitals. One of the eight who fell, luckily escaped without injury. There were nine men on the scaffold when it broke but one of them, Arthur Oleson, succeeded in grasping a rope and holding himself up.
 The reason for the accident as giv- en out by the officials of the Close Kemper company, in charge of the work, is that the men all crowded on- to the scaffold when it started to rain. The seaffold was only built to accommodate two or three men and could not hold the weight of nine. It is also claimed that the men walked up and down on the board and that this was partly responsible for the accident The company officials say that none of the men injured had any reason to be on the scaffold.

COON SELECTS HAMMOCK
AS RESTING PLACE

A live coon, snugly wrapped in a
hammock on the front porch at the
home Of |. S. Giddens. at Tampa,
caused considerable excitement and
equally as much fun a few minutes
Just about dusk on Saturday.
Mrs. Giddens and her youngest
daughter had been away from home
during the afternoon, and when they
returned Miss Giddens went to the
hammock, which was in its usual DO
sition. intending to rest there a few
minutes. She noticed the swing had
been furled two or three times and,
as she touched it with her hand a
low growl emitted. Mr.. Giddens is
out of the city and SO the ladies' at
once summoned help for investiga-
tion. States Attorney Herbert s.
Phillips was one of the first to re-
spond. He unfurled the cloth and
out jumped large-sized coon. It
was but the work of a moment for
Mr.. Phillips to lay hands on the in
truder and the coon now occupies a
temporary cage at the Giddens home
as a souvenir Of the little adven-
ture.

THIS APPLIES HERE.

Malicious destruction of property
is serious offense and during the
past year many complaints have been
made and in each instance the in
dicatiOn point to party of half
grown boys in town as the culprits.
Apparently they have an organiza-
tiOn la Jesse James. and carry on
this nefariOus practice from sheer
Joy OF vieiousness. Evidence of
their guilt will sooner or later face
them and the law will take its
course. Then the parents of these
boys will realize their neglect in al
lowing them to run wild and become
young desperadoes.-Fort Pierce

NEW YORK SIXTY YEARS AGO.

The buildings in New York con-
tinue to grow taller and taller. the
tower of Babel in all probability
would look chinchy beside them.
The singer building has only in
creased the pace without fixing the
limitations.
These tall buildings have called
forth tradition that can obtain no
longer.
An "old timer speaking OF this
old tradition in the New YORK
Times, says:
1.-THE height of buildings in New
York has dealt a blow to an old
superstition that animated many a
country youth who came here to
make his fortune sixty years ago.
Heaven knows how they came by the
belief, but most of those upstate
boys came to the city thinking that
ii they could toss coin over house
they took fancy to at the first try
the house would be theirs some day.
at was one of my surest convic-
tons and put it to a test immed-
lately after paying for my first meal
in New York. The only money |
had left was an Old-fashiOned three
cent piece. With that in my hand
| walked around looking for a de-
sirable piece of property. Pretty
soon a corner lot on which stood
two-stOry and a half brick house
took my eye.
Il had practiced coin throwing in
the country. so let my three-cent
piece 90 for all it was worth over
the front of the house and ran around
to the back to see where 1t landed.
1t went clean over. knew thon
that that house and lot would be
mine in due time, and sure enough
they were. People don't woo for
tune by Tipping coins these days.
The fellow whose success depended
upon tossing three-cent piece over
the Singer building would be in
pretty bad fix"
