BEFORE SENATE

Kearny Citizens Speak for and
Against Measure for Edu-

IFrom star Correspondence

TRENTON, n. j.. March 10.-kear-
ny residents appeared today before
the Senate committee on education
to speak for and against the bill
which would permit the Kearny
Board of Education to enter into a
contract to complete the half-hnished
Washington School in that town.
Work has been held up on the
building because the contract was
declared Illegal by the Court of Err
rors and Appeals. Assistant Com
missioner of Education Belts said he
drew the bill, and that the State
Board of Education wanted to see the
building completed in order to pro-
vide accommodations for children.
lie said $4,000 has been spent on
the building and $4,000 on the land.
Others who spoke for the bill We're:
Superintendent of Schools Harman
Dressed, jr., George Alexander and
Archibald Salmond. members of the
Kearny Board of Education, and
Adolph Amann. of the Arlington
Board of Trade.
The chief opposition to the compile
ton of the school is that it is built
of concrete, while certain citizens of
Kearny wanted and still desire that
it bemade of brick. Among these are
the Brieklayers' Union of the town.
For the opponents the speakers We're

OTHERS MAY Join
SILK STRIKERS.
Industrial War in Paterson Ex-
pected to Spread to Al
lied Trades.
lsnec,nl to the newark star.I


PATERSON. N. J., March TO-
Organized for the biggest labor war
in the history of the silk industry. the
10000 striking millhands today began
the third week of their struggle by
adopting active strike tactics.
Picketing was started. A bureau
for the relief of needy families was
opened by the strike leaders, under
the direction of big Bill Haywood.
Plans were laid for calling out sta
tionary engineers. teamsters and
other industrial workers connected
with the Manufacture Of silk and
allied textile manufactures.
The strike now seems certain to
rival the hard-fought labor war of
1902, which lasted for six months and
was marked by riot after riot.
The silk industry at the beginning
of the third week is at complete
standstill. There are 10000 strikers.
and it is estimated fully $1,000 other
operatives forced out by the closing
of the big mills. Only a few of the
smallest factories are making pre-
tense at keeping open. and they are
insignificant.
Employers and employees are hope
lessly deadlocked. There seems to be
no hope of settlement.
Ettor and Giovannitti, the I. w. w.
leaders who figured in the Lawrence
(Mass.) strike, are expected to speak
in Lodi today.
Under-sheriff Robert n. Heath, who
had charge of the deputies in the tex
tile strike at Passaic year ago, is
guarding the National Silk Dyeing
Company's plant at Dundee Lake
with force of deputies. He says
he will arrest Ettor and Giovannitti
if their speeches are not tame enough
to suit him.
Not only are the silk workers and
dyers on strike. but 1000 shirtworkers
are expected to quit. This city never
faced such complete shutdown
Between 10000 and $4,000 men and
women, strikers for the most part,
heard Haywood speak in grove at
Haledon, three miles from here, yes
terday afternoon.
The meeting was held in the open
for two reasons: The Paterson police
refused to allow the strikers to hold
any sort of a demonstration within
the city limits onNSunday, and no hall
could be found large enough to admit
a fraction of the crowd which clam
ored to hear Haywood.
1.-THE workingman and the employer
have nothing in common" he said
"and there is no peace for the work.
ingman so long as he has the hunger
and the hardship and q few employ
ers have all the good things of life.
1.-THE struggle of the workers
against the few must go on until the
workers organize as a class and take
possession of the earth and the ma
chinery of production and abolish the
wage system. You will find that our
condition can only be changed by all
members of an industry stopping work
to make the capitalists give in to us. Z"

F|ORE JURORS NOT
PLEASING TO MOTT
So Prosecutor Has Trial Post
poned Until New Panel
Is Drawn.

Giving as a reason that he was not
satisfied with the panel of petit jurors
drawn to serve in the trial of Antonio
Fiore, charged with the murder of
Leonardo Ciccone, set down for to-
day in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner, Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott
sought for and obtained from Judge
William p Martin a postponement of
the trial until Monday. March "a.
Prosecutor Mott, in asking for a
two-week adjournment, overlooked
the fact that it is the usual custom
for the last panel of petit jurors
drawn in a term to serve three
week term instead of two. Under the
usual custom, the present jury would
not finish its term of duty until
March %, when the December term
ef court ends, As. soon, as Prosecutor
Mott found this out he at once made
arrangements with Judge Martin to
have a new panel of 125 names drawn
next Monday 10 serve during the
week commencing March "a.
The present is the second time that
Prosecutor Mott has caused a mur-
der trial to be set aside owing to dis
drawn to serve in the trial. In jan
uary 1912. he obtained a postpone
ment in the trial of Allison NJ. Mac
Farland for the same reason.
Fiore was to have been tried today
for the murder of Leonardo Ciccone
on March s. 1912. Maddalena Ciccone,
wife of the murdered man, who is
now under sentence of death for his
murder. made a confession in which
she admitted giving Ciecone rat
poison in cup of coffee, but said she
did so through fear if. .F'iore, with
whom she was infatuated and who
she claims, had threatened to kill her
unless she got rid of her husband.
Mrs. Ciccone and her 12-year-old
daughter Annie. who gave damaging
testimony against her mother and
who was to have given like testi-
mony against Fiore. were at the
Court House today. ready to testify.
Frank NJ McDermit, counsel for
Mrs. Ciccone. was present TO see that
the rights of his client We're II
make on the postponement of the
case. McDermit has the promise of
the prosecutors office that after Mrs.
Ciccone has testified against Fiore
steps will be taken to have the death
penalty, which she is now doomed
to face during the week of April 81.

GEORGE ASKS PARLIAMENT
TO HASTEN BALKAN PEACE

LONDON, March 10.-King George
todav onened the third session of the
present Parliament after a proroga-
ton of only two days, the briefest re-
cess on. record The stately cere-
monial was performed by the House
of Peers. The King and Queen took
their places on the throne in the pres
ence of a great gathering.
The opening was preceded by the
usual procession from Buckingham
Palace to Westminster Hall. the
centre of the brilliant picture being
the gilded glass coach drawn by the
famous Hanoverian cream-colored
horses. whose sole duty is to partici-
pate in these pageants.
A drizzling rain fell throughout the
day, but this had no effect on the
tens of thousands of sightseers.
The Kings speech from the throne
was devoted chiefly to the Balkan
war expressing the earnest desire of
the European powers to hasten the
conclusion of peace.
His majesty opened with a refer
ence to the jublees of the marriage
of his parents, King Edward VII. and
Queen Alexandra. He expressed graft
tude for the affection shown by the
nation to the widowed queen mother,
Alexandra.
Turning to the Balkan war, the
King said
II am hopeful that the consulta-
tions between the powers will enable
them not only to secure a complete
understanding among themselves, but
to exercise a beneficent influence in
Fastening the conclusion of the war"
His majesty referred to the action
of the British dominions which have
contributed war vessels to the British
navy and also to the visits of Robert
L. Borden, the Canadian premier, and
other overseas ministers. These
things, he said, were calculated to
promote the solidarity of the empire.
The forecast of legislation to be in
troduced was restricted to narrow
limits. Apart from the introduction
again of the home rule and the Welsh
disestablishment bills, the only i'm
portant measures will be bills to
facilitate land purchase in Ireland
the guarantee of a Sudan loan for
the development of cotton growing.
TO prevent plural voting at elections.
and a measure for the development of
a national system of education.
