STATEMENT BY
ELECTRICIANS
Deny Charge of Contractor
Tell Of Dispute.

Three ~journeyman electricians and
two helpers, who struck from the
Guth Electrical Company's shop
when a question Of payment for time
arose, declare themselves still at
odds with the firm, despite the fact
that they are working in factory
shops and elsewhere. The question
may be settled by means of arbitra-
ton, according to union officials. but
the contractors declare the strike
over. the old men discharged and
others engaged in their places.
Efforts were made on the part of
the bosses to arbitrate the early part
of this week, according to one union
official, but the time of notice given
the union men was so short that they
did not accept the invitation. Men
in shops other than that of the Guth
quit work to attend to a
peace meeting and not because they
wanted to strike in sympathy with
the Guth employees, according to the
electrical union. The contractors say
the men of four shops quit work and
others were engaged in their places.
A statement of the electrical I'M
ion, issued today, follows:
There Is no general strike and n
men were called out in other shops
in sympathy. The whole trouble
being confined to the Guth Electrical
Company and arose, not over stealing
time, but over a question as to how
time should be paid or out of town
jobs. The men claim that they
should ride to the job on their own
time and from the Job on the bosses
time. The company claimed that the
men should ride both ways on their
own time. The whole dispute In
wolves only a half hour for three
men and when payment was refused
the men, emnloyes in the shop, walk
ed out pending a settlement of the
trouble"
The head Of the Guth Electrical
Company declares emphatically that
he has proof some of his men
"loafed" for about two hours on one

Journal of the Medical Society Of
New Jersey an article in which the
writer gives high praise to Dr.. Will
liam E. Ramsay, of this city, and
urges every physician in this state
to do his utmost to assure the cleo
ton of DR.. Ramsay to the state SEN
ate on the Democratic ticket next
Tuesday. An extract from the let
ter is as follows:
MANY of the readers of the Jour-
nal are familiar with the self-sacri-
flcing work of DR.. William E. RAM
say. Numerous laws which are upon
our statute books of New Jersey to-
day raising the standard Of medi-
cine and better hygienic and sanitary
laws are the result of his painstaking
work. DR.. Ramsay is the candidate
for senator from Middlesex county,
and it is my desire to call the atten-
ton of the profession throughout
the State AMI particularly in Middle
sex county to the necessity of careful
and systematic work to insure the
election OF LIT. Ramsay. III ne Is
elected to the State there is no
question in my mind but what all
vital topics pertaining to the health
of the people of this State will be
very carefully considered, and be-
fore the expiration of DR.. Ramsay's
term We can see placed upon the
statute books, laws which will place
New Jersey far to the front in the
work which is being done all over
the United States at the present time
for better and more stringent meas
ures as regards hygiene and SANTA
ton"

REFUTE CHARGE
OF C0LON|z.NC
Democrats Resent Wilson
Circular in First Ward.

Declaring that the Democrats have
"colonized" his ward, William C.
Wilson, the Republican candidate
for aldermanic honors in the first
ward, has caused to be published and
distributed a circular letter which
refers, in particular, to the fact that
almost 100 Democratic voters have
been moved into this ward (mean-
ing the first ward) for the express
purpose of electing a Democratic al
derman.'
The Democratic leaders are
wrought up over the attack and de-
clare that it is unjust. They insist
that Candidate Wilson cannot cor
roborate his statement.
County Clerk B. NJ. Cannon, recog-
nized as one of the Democratic lead
ers in the city, was interviewed to-
day by a NEWS reporter regarding
the charge that there was colonizing
in the first ward. He admitted that
100 new names are on the first ward
register books, but declared that af-
ter a careful search the Democrats
have found but ffty-two of that
number who are favorable to their
cause; the remaining f~orty-eight
have been conceded to the Republic
cans. Mr.. Cannon deies Mr.. Wilson
to show one so-called "foater," and
says he will present the candidate
with So for his campaign expenses
for every man he can find who has
moved into the first ward in the last
year with the express purpose OF
voting for a Democratic candidate.
furthermore Mr.. Cannon asserts
that the letter circulated by Mr.. Will
son is an insult to every man who
has moved into the first ward in the
last two years, whether Democrat or
Republican. 1t Is estimated by Mr..
Cannon that the men who have
into the first balliwick in the
last twelve months have expended
$4,000 there for new homes.
