GAS STRIKE A FIZZLE
Union Man Says He Was Set Upon and
Beaten Near Plant.

The general strike Of gas workers, Or
dered early yesterday morning, was ap-
parently delayed. according 10 reports
made last night at a meeting of the Gas
Workers Union In the Labor Temple Ath
street near Second avenue. Police were
stationed by the companies at the different
plants but men remained steadily at work
as usual At the office Of the Consolidated
Gas Company. it was said that all who
went for their noon meal came back, not
man being missing.
According to Harry Kane, president OF
the union, the strike would have started
early yesterday at the Casino Beach plant
but for the fact that when he was going
there to meet the pickets he was set upon
bv gang and knocked down and beaten
at Tenth avenue and Shore Road. Instead
Of meeting a number Of pickets, he said'
he was met by "watchmen of the gas COM
many" His appearance bore out his state
ment. The view taken by the police was
that the attack on Kane was made by en-
Moves who were incensed at being asked
TO give up work.
Kane said at the headquarters Of the
union that the strike would begin to-day.
when two hundred men would go with
him TO the Casino Beach plant.
AT the Offices of the Consolidated Gas
Comnany Robert f. Livingstone said yes
terday:
There is nothing in Kane's assertion
chat ne was attacked by watchmen. The
attack probably was made by people who
ala not want to give up their jobs. All
,bora is TO the strike is that forty-six
union men met early yesterday morning.
NO, one of whom is employed by us. By
. ma aiority OF one they declared strike.
Tho strike did not take place and will not
taL. MACE. The men at work are satisfied
and want to be left alone"
According to the officers of the union late
,,as,ordav some Of the gas workers went
on strike. but they would not say what

BOMB PLOT TO KILL GIRL
u. j. MsNamara Accused of
Scheming to Blow Up Car.

Indianapolis. Jan. l2.-The story Of an
alleged attempt 10 dynamite a car in which
Miss Mary Dye, former confidential secre-
tarv OF John ]. Mcnamara, was sleeping,
given TO the grand Jury by Frank Eckhon,
a Cincinnati coremaker, Is said 10 have been
corroborated by a person who testified to-
dav. Mcnamara is said 10 have offered
man known to federal officials $50 to wreck
the car in which Miss Dye was sleeping
while IL was stationed in the railroad yards
at Pittsburgh.
According TO the statements OF Eckhof,
there was trouble between Mcnamara and
Miss Dye, and he SAID there had been threats
OF lawsuit by the latter. Miss Dye mas
testified before the grand jury, and 1t Is said
that she had knowledge Of the attempt 70
kill her.
Zeal in working for the interests OF or
ganized labor drove John J. Mcnamara
insane and caused him TO carry out pro-
gramme Of destruction, according TO the
statement of Frank NJ. Ryan, OF chicago
president OF the International Association
OF Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
Rvan's first extensive statement since Nc
Namara's confession will appear in The
issued tomorrow. Ryan recites his belief
that the large number Of lives lost oy the
workmen while engaged in their calling
gave cause for McNamara's work against
capitalstlc interests.

Sacrifice Is Spirit of Christmas.


A curious thing ome to my mind
concerning which l have a word to say.
and that is apropos of honesty. No one
has a right to give away anything ex-
cept what may be in excess of the just
demands upon the income. The butch
er, the baker, the dry goods man, needs
his money as surely as does the enthu-
siastic woman eager to make a pretty
gift or the lover to bestow upon his
sweetheart what he knows Is her
hearts desire. Successful Christmas
giving should mean self sacrifice, and
1t Is often Il greater sacrifice to deny
oneself the privilege of expenditure
than to do just what n has in mind.
I believe that from the nursery days
this theory should be inculcated. and,
as the coming to this world Of our
blessed Lord was one great act Of sac
rifce, so in planning for our Christmas
gifts each child in the family should
be encouraged to something Of self sac
rifce in the gathering together of the
money for his gifts. l like to picture
the old fashioned Virginia home, where
round the library table through the
fall months the children of the house
hold and the kinsfolk and acquaint-
ances who might be within the doors
busted themselves in the preparation of
dainty nothings which should carry on
Christmas morn the sweet words of
loving remembrance. Julia Holmes

THE CHRISTMAS SHIP.

The Christmas ship is one of the
funniest games of all. The children
sit in a circle to play it. One child
who starts the game says to his neigh.
Dor:
''The Christmas ship has come in"
"What did it bring you?" asks the
next child.
"A jumpingjack," says the first child
perhaps, beginning at once to initiate
the hopping motions Of a toy jumping
Jack.
The child to whom he spoke must
also play at being a jumpingjack, say
ing at the same time to his neighbor:
my Christmas ship has come in"
"What did it bring you?" repeats his
neighbor.
"a lion," says the jumpingjack, try
ing to continue his hopping and to roar
at the same time.
The third child must roar, too, as he
gives the child next him the ship in
formation and shows him which toy
he must initiate.
By the time a few human Jumping.
Jacks are in motion, some of the lions
roaring, two or three trains steaming
around the room and some little girl
dolls trying to say mamma and papa
the game will end in just one grand,
hilarious frolic.

SOAP BUBBLES.

Soap bubbles are never so beautiful

Of warm water shave a piece Of laun.
Try soap about an inch square. When
dissolved add a tablespoonful of gum
arabic and stir till melted. Then add
= teaspoonful Of glycerin, and lastly
q quart Of cold water. Hot water is
necessary to dissolve the various in
gradients, but unless cold water is
added they expand and break too rap

THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE.
A RoIlicking Game For Yuletids Fes.
Invites.

I" ~~'S
Invites.
Christmas games for Christmas day
should be just the jolliest and most roll
licking sort n can possibly find, and
n that will make everybody laugh
in spite Of himself is the game of the
Christmas candle. This should be
played under the supervision of an
older person. To play it after the
fashion Of the little English children
Of the time of Queen Elizabeth quite
a long, fat wax candle should be pro-
vided, with one child chosen to hold
the lighted candle and another to try to
blow it out. The 'blower' Is placed
a few feet away from the candle,
which is held at the height of his
head, and facing it. He is then blind
folded, turned around three times, and
told to take as many steps az he was
required to before, and in the direction
he thinks the candle to be. Then he
fame. Perhaps the child walked
straight away from the candle. Any
way his attempts will be very funny
indeed as he puffs out his cheeks and
blows-probably in the wrong direction
and they will cause much merriment
among the other children. Another
way of playing this candle game is to
use one of the tiny unburnable Christ
mas trees which are to be found in the
stores now. Very small colored can.
dies are fastened to the tree and
lighted, and one child holds it while a
second blindfolded child tries to see
how many candle flames he can blow
out at one attempt. A row Of the or
binary Christmas tree candles may be
fastened with pins to a holly wreath
SO that they stand upright as the
wreath lies upon a table. AS in the
case Of the tiny Christmas tree the
blindfolded child tries to blow out the
flames Of as many candles as possible.
A prize for the most successful blower
will add to the fun of these candle
games.
