JERSEY CITY NOW
FACES RENEWED
EXPRESS STRIKE
Men Claim Companies Are Not
Keeping Agreement Made
Last Fall.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 3O.-Develop.
ments of the last few days indicate
that the expressmen's strike of last
November will be Immediately renewed.
The men charge that the companies
lave broken faith with them by dts
charging nearly 200 men who too part
in that strike. William II. Ashton.
general organizer of the International
Brotherhood of Transfers, is to confer
with officials of the Adams Express
Company in Manhattan today, and on
that conference hangs the decision to
strike or not.
There has been unrest among the
men eve since the strike was settled
on November 80. through the efforts
Of Ashton, Mayor Gaynor, of New
York. and Mayor Wittpenn. BY the
terms of the settlement, in addition to
increased pay, there was to be "no
discrimination shown to any employee
because OF his allegiance to any or
g%anization" and no employee was to
suffer a reduction because of this
agreement"
According to the men, the companies,
especially the Adams, have not kept
their word. From time to time work
ers have beer dropped, and the only

is tina they were active in the strike.
Companies Refuse.
A few days ago a delegation told
Ashton the condition of affairs. He
went to Jersey City and conferred with
the express officials and Mayor Witt
penn. 1t was understood that the mayor
was to urge the officials to %reinstate
the discharged men. The companies re
fused, ii Is said.
Then it was decided to strike today,
but at a meeting held yesterday III
Hawkes. Hall, Erie street, near Thir
zenith street, it was decided to make
another effort to get the companies to
change their minds, and 1t was ar
ranged hat Ashton should confer with
the officials today. Unless it is agreed
to put the discharged men to work il
Is practically certain. the men say, thai
a strike will be declared.
In anticipation of trouble the Adams
Express Company, instead of storing
it's wagons in Jersey City as usual, had
them taken to Manhattan On Saturday.
The Jersey City police also prepared
for q renewal of disturbances and re-
serves were kept ready all last night.

80. ORANGE CLUB
LAnENTSELECTION
OF JAS. c. MARITIME
Resolution Is Decisiyely Voted
Down by So. Orange Club--FOr=
merU. S. Senator Smith Praised,

Deeming ii a wrong thing 10 10, in
asnluch as a majority OF the Demo-
Gratis in South Orange favored the cleo
ton of former United States Senator
James Smith, il. to succeed John keah
in the Senate, the South Orange Demo-
cratic Club at a largely attended meet
ing Saturday night refused TO send a
consratulatory letter to James E. Mar
tine. Instead of indorsing the election
OF Mr.. MARITIME the meeting of the eteo
developed into unanimous appreciation
of former United states Senator James
Smith, jr. The only effort in favor q
MARITIME was made by a ma who was
not a member of the clug, but subse-
1uently solicited membership
Rumor hat an attempt would De
made to condemn the action OF the
members of the Essex assembly dele
aation who voted for the former sena-
tor, and a resolution congratulating
MARITIME would be put through, brought
out a. large attendance to the meeting,
which was held In the ''flatiron' build
ing. in Vose venue the new a
quarters Of the club. Shortly after the
meeting had been called to order by
President il Budd Smith. Harold Il.
Byron put the motion that q commit.
tee be appointed by the president to
draft a congratulatory letter to be sent
to Mr.. MARITIME. The question was put
and Mr. Byron alone voted aye.
In speeches by County Committee
man Patrick Ash and Patrick Nc
Gallery Mr.. Smith was highly e~ulogized.
and Indignation was shown by the at
Az.-.. = orrra4t,Iofa tho man whom
they had not favored previous to his
election.
TT Is an entirely wrong thing to do"
said Mr.. Ash. Continuing, he said: "A
majority OF the Democrats in South Or
ange were for Mr.. Smith for senator,
We wer not for him before he was
elected. Why should we congratulate
him when we are sorry that no was not
b6atenA'
Mr.. McCahery in his speech Landed
Mr.. Smith as Our favorite Essex son"
and "the man we wanted in tho Senate
He lie the man that was worthy of the
o%ce, and not MARITIME. Why should
we congratulate hlrn&" he asked.
Mr.. Byron used the argument that
the former senator himself congratu-
lated Mr.. MARITIME; but when put TO .
vote there was no other sign Of Mar
tine sentiment displayed.
Mr.. Byron later admitted that he was
not q member OF the club when he en-
deavored to have the organization
favor MARITIME, but later enrolled az a
member.
DR.. Joseph Arnold. a prominent MEM
Der OF the club, today said that it was
entirely out of order to favor Mr.. Mar
tine. There was no MARITIME sentiment
displayed at all. and, instead of on
graduating the Farmer Orator" he
said 1t was an insult for him. He was
asked previous to the meeting to be a
member of the proposed committee to
draw up the letter of congratulation
10 Mr.. MARITIME, but refused.

USEFUL DISCOVERY.
Will Be Appreciated Everywhere
David PhippS Visits
Here.

A Montgomery City, Mo-,
special to the Kansas City Post
says:
David Fipps, the oldest set
tier of Montgomery county and
the only one living of Il COM
pany of seventy-siX who went
across the country to California
in lS49 in seach of gold, has
celebrated his hiseighty-siXth birth
day by travelling twenty-five
miles to see his daughter, Mrs.
George Grace, at Mexico, Mo.
Uncle David Fipps has made
a new discovery which will be
appreciated throughout the
United States. He has, with
the use of Saltpetre, raised
some of the largest fruit and
vegetables ever grown in this
part of the world. By putting
Il little saltpetre around the
roots of an apple tree and wash
ing the tree with soft soap he
has raised apples weighing two
pounds and six ounces a piece.
AS an experiment he put salt
petre around two rows of corn
and 100 ears of this corn weigh
ed 296 pounds, twice as much
as average corn. He also put
saltpetre around a few heads of
cabbage, pumpkins, beets, ,pars-
nips and watermelons. One
watermelon weighed Sc pounds
one cabbage head - pounds,
one parsnip 6 pounds and one
pumpkin 1870 pounds and one
1872 pounds. Mr.. Fipps says
saltpetre, which is very cheap
will do wonders on poor LAND
as well as rich land, and a worC
to the wise It's said, is suf1ici
ent.
