HSWat That FlY!o

A female house fly which has hiber-
mated in dwelling house, or elsewhere,
may produce in the spring at the low
est estimate 100 eggs. Assuming that
one half of these hatch as females and
allowing that the breeding goes on
without check for four months, we
have as the descendants of a single
alternating individual 214,557, S44 $780,
600 900, 100000 flies. Now, house fly
measures exactly one-fourth of an inch
in length; the distance around the earth
at the equator is said to be 24,s0
miles. 1t would take, therefore, $685.
$4,000 flies placed end to end to go
around the world once. Using this num-
Der as denomination, and the number
of flies produced in four months from
one mother as a numerator, we find she
will give rise, in the course of the sum-
mer, to enough flies to encircle the
globe at the equator 5000 times and
have plenty of progeny to spare

The hog market ranged strong, with

BALTIMORE, June "a.

BALTIMORE, June "a.
N ECKs will be cleared for the Democratic national conven-
tiOn that meets tomorrow in the Fifth Regiment Armory.
- The national committee will consider contested delega-
tions, prepare the temporary rolcal and select a temporary
chairman to preside at the opening deliberations of the conyen-
ton. The various States will caucus to choose their representa-
tiyes on the convention committees, and those where the unit
rule prevails and where the delegates have not already been
instructed by the primaries will consider the candidates they
will support for the presidential nomination.
The struggle over the temporary Craftsmanship overshadows
every other Issue today. Efforts to converge the views of pro-
rressives and conservatives failed last night, and William j.
Bryan's declaration of progressiyeism sharply defined the issues.
Nh. Bryan's assertion that he would support no one but a pro,
cressive for the ehairmanship, and that Alton b. Parker, the
choice of the subcommittee of arrangements, did not meet this
requirement seemed to leave little hope of an agreement today,
unless the Clark men accepted some other candidate.

STRIKERS TO
SEEK PEACE

The laborers and diggers who have
been on strike for the last seven
weeks, will meet Thursday evening at
their several headquarters and take
steps which are expected to end the
trouble for the present. The meet
ings will be held at 20 Bedford street,
43 Garside street and 80 Adams
street. Horace Mazzurco, the or
ganizer of the strike, said today:
There are now about 1000 men
idle, and they are willing to go back
to work for the present at the old
wage scale of twenty cents an hour.
No matter what pay the men receive
the contractors must recognize the
union. If there are any non-union
workers where our men apply for
work and the boss of the job Is will
ing to recognize our union and put
the union men to work the others
must either join the union or stop
working. The reason for ~suspending
the strike is that many of the con-
tractors figured on getting the work
done for eighteen and twenty cents
an hour, and therefore could not ac-
cede to our demand for twenty-five
cents without loss to themselves. The
contractors will be notified probably
in october or November that begin
ming next April the union will de-
mand twenty-five cents an hour for
the men. In this way the contractors
will have ample time to figure that
all work during and after next April
will be done at the increased scale.
We have not decided what steps will
be taken if the contractors refuse
our demands next year.

Sheriff Is Organizing Force of
Deputies to Quell Disturb
ance Over Demand for a
Slight Increase in Wages.

METUCHEN, June 24.-Serious
trouble has resulted in the walkout
of about five hundred men from the
clay mines along the Raritan river,
and Sheriff Bollschweiller. of New
Brunswick, who has been appealed
to, is organizing, a force of deputies
and Fastening with all possible speed
to the scene of the disturbance.
A crowd of two hundred Hunga-
rians, employees of the Didier-March
Company, two miles from Metuchen,
walked out at Z o'clock and marched
Aalong the bank of the Raritan river
TO the plant of the Bloomfield Clay
Company. about a half-mile below
Metuchen.
They persuaded nearl 100 men to
join them there, and the increased
force paraded to the plant of the
RariSen Ridge Clay Company, where
about IFS more men joined in the
strike.
While David Kramer. a letter-car-
rier, was passing through the strike
district, he was attacked by several
strikers armed with clubs and stones.
Some grabbed his horse and others
attempted to take away the mail,
said to contain many postal money
orders.
Kramer, when he saw that his calls
for aid remained unanswered, drew
a revolver and fired several shots.
At this the crowd dispersed and Kra-

reached Bonhampton in safety.
The strikers, with their increasing
numbers, are planning to tie up every
clay plant on both sides of the Rari-
tan.
Charles A. Bloomfield, president of
the Bloomfield Clay Company, sent
an appeal to Sheriff Bollsehwelller for
aid in preventing rioting. 1t was de-
clared thai the least cause might pre-
eipitate serious trouble and loss Of
life. -

that the trouble was out of his juris-
d%iction. and that 1t was necessary to
call on the sheriff.
The men demand an increase Oh pay
from Is cents an hour TO 17k cents.
