HARRY HOUSED JOINS
RANKS OF THE BENEDICTS

Harry Housed. assistant county
auditor. was missing from his desk
at tho Court House today when the
Office opened at 8 o'clock, and much
was the wonderment thereat, for the
employees of the county offices are
wont to set their watches by HousePs
arrival at 9 o'clock every day.
And the wondcrment was increased
when Mr.. Housed failed to show up
at the office at all and sent no word
of why he was absent. But there
was a reason and mighty good one,
for the genial Harry Housed is off
on his wedding tour.
Mr.. Housed stole q march on his
multitude of friends by quietly TAX
ing as a bride last night Miss Flea
nor Downs. of Roseville and Sixth
avenues, the wedding taking place at
the residence of the brides sester.
Mrs. Matthias Ludlow. at 231 North
Seventh street. Only the immediate
members of the family were present,
it being the wish of both Mr.. Housed
and his bride that the affair be a
quiet ono.
After the wedding ceremony, which
was performed by the Rev. DR.. AL
bert Foster, of the Rosevilie Baptist
Church, Mr.. Housed and his bride
left on a wedding honeymoon trip.
the plans for this being kept just az
secret as were the Wedding plans.

NO UNION SHAVE
TO Be HAD SUNDAY
President of Local Declares
Shops Here and in Suburbs
Will Be Closed.

Newarkers and suburbanites who
have been in the habit of delaying
their shaves and haircuts until Sun
day morning had better take time by
the forelock this week and have their
tonsorial work attended to tomorrow
instead. Practically every barber
shop in this city as we'll as in Belle
Vile, Harrison, Kearny and in the
Oranges will be closed Sunday, ac-
cording to John Manger, president of
Local No. 319 of the journeymen
BARRIERS.
Only very small minority of the
local BARRIERS have failed to sign the
agreement of the journeymen BARRIERS
providing for Sunday closing and a
half holiday during the week, Mr..
Manger declared to a reporter for the
Evening Star today. The reports
from the suburbs were very en-
only be a short time when the agita-
ton for a closed Sunday in this part
of the county would result in the
closing of all shops.
Mr.. Manger will submit his report
along these lines at the meeting of
the Essex Trades Council tonight
The movement for closed Sunday is
the unanimous Endorsement of the
council as well as the Central
Federation, composed of several or
CARNATIONS in this State and New
York.
What want to impress above
ALL" said Mr. Manager is the fact that
working men who may have a harder
time than others through the barber
shops being closed on Sunday should
be willing to make the sacrifice and
cooperate with us as much as posi-
BILE. The working class and the BUSH
ness men of the city do not realize
how much they owe to Local No. 319
for nipping in the bud a strike which
would have meant repetition Of the
silk troubles in Paterson.
THE I. w. w. had mapped out their
plan of campaign in this city and
had already enrolled several hun
bred before we got busy and took
things in our own hands. 1t was a
hard fight, but we succeeded in get
ting the whip hand, and as result
the membership of Local No. 319 has
not only been greatly increased, but
we are also organizing sister local

time of nearly 300, the majority of
whom had either Joined the 1. w. w.

BAY STATE LEATHER
MEN APPROVE LAW

BOSTON, June 27.-Massachusetts
leather interests are almost unani-
nous in indorsing the new law rela-
tive to measuring hides and leather
which goes into effect next Tuesday
and by which shipments of hides and
leather from Newark, N. j.. and sales
by dealers in that city are vitality
affected.
There was no opposition to the law
before the Massachusetts Legislature,
and every precaution was taken to
inform the leather trade of all of its
provisions.
The law provides for the appoint
ment by the mayor or the Common
Council, upon the request of two or
more voters, of one or more meas
urers who shall have been certified to
by the State commissioner of weights
and measures as being qualified for
the position. Such measurers in one
city may perform their duties in any
other municipality in the State.
Measurements are to be followed with
such devices as the law prescribes.
The section of the law in which
leather men outside of Massachusetts
are chiefly interested reads as fol-
lows
"Whoever sell. or offers leather for
sale by measure snail cause the same
to be measured by a sworn meas
urer unless such leather has previous
ly been measured by a sworn meas
urer of city or town in this COM
| monwealth, or by some person law
fully appointed for that purpose in
any other of the United States, and
whoever sells or offers for sale leath-
er which has not been measured as
aforesaid, unless such measurement
has been expressly waived in writing
by the buyer and seller thereof, shall
be subject to a fine of not less then
ten nor more than fifty dollars for
each offense."
| A companion measure enacted by
the Massachusetts, Legislature is of
the same far-reaching Importance as
any section of the parent law. This
safeguards the standards of measure
ments and vests the State commits
sioner of weights and measures in
that States with considerable au-
| thority
For instance, he is empowered to
pass upon all measuring devices used
or intended to be used on all leather
that is bought, sold or offered for
sale in his commonwealth. In other
words, this official could go into an
other State and demand permission
to inspect the measuring devices.
Denied such permission he is in a
position, according to a construction
of the law here, to place an embargo
upon the sale of leather from outside.
Complaints of inaccurate measur-
ing reached both State and city de-
partments during the year. They
were investigated by the commits
sioner of weights and measures and
found to be well founded
John ]. Cummings, an inspector in
the office of the State commissioner,
who has had long experience in the
leather business. prepared a draft OF
new law. Concerning its provisions
he conferred with the committee on
measures of the National Tanners
Association, the same committee
which had charge of the chemicals
scheduled in the new tariff law, and
sent copies to the various organiza-
lions which are interested in the sub
ject.

JR. 0. u. A. N. IN
FUNERAL FIGHT
At Fresh l.oggerheads With
United States Funeral
Benefit Association.

THE Junior Order of American
Mechanics, which has about 10000
members in Essex County and over
$4,000 in the State, is again aroused
over the question of funeral benefits
according to Theodore D. Gottlieb, a
local lawyer, who at different times
drafted four legislative bills bearing
on this subject
The chief object of the orders ire,
according to MIR. Gottlieb, is the
United States Funeral Benefit Asso-
citation of Philadelphia, which under
writes the funeral benefits of the
local councils and whose directors
have persistently refused to sincor-
porate the association.
The association has been at odds
with the Junior Order since four
years ago, when dozen local coun-
ellis, following the lead of Marcus L.
withdrew their membership as a re-
suit of the refusal of the association
to pay two contested claims after the
State Council had ruled that they
were valid The order was engaged
then in a long struggle with the as
ISOLATION, and, Mr.. Gottlieb says. 1t
suffered in Withdrawals in many
other states.
The present friction was precipl-
fated when the United States Asso-
citation refused to incorporate reso-
luton to that effect offered by a
state officer of the order having been
rejected at the recent convention OF
the association. At the same time
the association ruled that it had the
authority to reject claims, notwith-
standing the fact that the council had
to pay them and that the State
Council had declared them valid. A
renewal of the fight against the
Philadelphia company is planned,
and the councils in Essex will be
asked to again lend their aid
The Legislature in 1912 had hear
ing on bill to regulate funeral
benefit associations, but owing to its
late Introduction it was not passed.
The bill would compel all associa-
lions of this character to be incor-
porated and to submit to the juris-
diction of the New Jersey courts.
The other funeral benefit associations
operating in New Jersey are the
the Essex Funeral Benefit Associa-
ton. the New Jersey Funeral Bene-
fit Association. the State Council
Funeral Fund and the American As
ISOLATION. of Baltimore. All these
are Incorporated.

Foremen were consulted, and they
aided in the preparation Of the law.
The Shoe Cutters Unions of Salem,
Lynn and Brockton, the principal
shoe centres in Massachusetts,, also
approved it, and appeared before the
Legislature to advocate 1t.
The labor union representatives
said that under the old arrangement
the stock was short at times and the
workmen could not cut as many pieces
as were required. Measuring. under
the old law, was done by careless
operators who did not fully under
stand the machines. There were
hearings before a committee of the
Legislature, and no opposition devel-
oped.
Massachusetts had law previously
which governed the measuring OF
leather, even more strict than the
new law. but it was passed in 1s41,
and was a dead letter" Under that
law man who sold leather that was
not measured by a sworn measurer
was subject to fine of 81 for every
hide sold, this money made recover
able by the buyer. 1t was inopera-
| tive, however.

LIGHT" ROBBERY LEADS
TO HEAVY PUNISHMENT

1t was ligsN tale that Acting
Judge Yuill listened to in the Fifth
Precinct Court today.
Patrolmen Dwyer and Anderson
last night saw two men at Third and
Roseville avenue acting suspiciously.
In Anderson's opinion they were lit
up" but closer look revealed that
the reason for their staggering was
the burden they carried. 1t was
light, and at the same time heavy.
Each of the two carried two chan
deliers Neither the men or the
chandeliers was lit, of course. Va
cant houses at 4O6-40s-412 Roseville
avenue were found to be without
chandeliers and the pair were ar.
rested. Clarence H. Hedden, of 2S2
Thirteenth avenue, appeared as COM
plainant on behalf of his mother, the
owner of the houses.
The court fixed bail at $500 each,
not exactly a light figure.

SAY MURPHY HOLDS
JUDGE COHALAN'S FATE

ALBANY, N. Y, June 27.-Whether
Tammany Boss Murphy and Supreme
Court Justice Cohalan have actually
broken politically is to be an issue
when the legislative inquiry commit
tee in the Connolly indictments begins
next Monday. There are those who
urge that the determination of this
problem will WELD great influence in
decision as to whether Cohalan shall
be convicted or whitewashed
Murphy owns the investigating COM
mittee, except perhaps Chairman
Murtaugh and the Republican mem
bers. Murtaugh, after planning to
remain here during the hearings, sud
denly concluded that the Gettysburg
battlefield possessed more attractions
for him. Therefore, he will HE him.
self to the scenes of the Confederate
Waterloo next week, leaving either
Senator Blauvelt or Assemblyman
Coolburg, both Murphy boys, to run
the inquiry for few days.
Subpoenas have been issued for
Charles F. Murphy, Justice Cohalan,
John A. Connolly, Cohalan's accuser;
Chairman Howard Townsend and
SECRETARY AbA ySilS, VI eAAO -Ue-A
Association grievance committee, and
others. They are expected to present
themselves at the Senate chamber at
the time designated, though now
there seemed a likelihood that the
committee will not get right down to
cases for several days.
Chairman Townsend notified As
semblyman Levy yesterday that he
doubted if he coud get his data
together before July s,
Levy told him that the committee
would certainly meet next Monday
and that he hoped he would be ready
then. Levy left for New York last
night to hurry along the formal
presentation of the charges, so that
the committee may get down to work
quick. I'VE shall be here through
the dog days if we don't hurry some"
said Levy. I'm any event, l do not
see how the Legislature can adjourn
finally until the latter part of July.
OF course, we want to give all parties
in the Cohalap controversy ample
time, but many of the legislators are
anxious to get home to attend to their
private business"

ASKS EXTRA
SESSION ON LEATHER


trade of Newark with Massachusetts
in leather of the kind covered BY
these statutes, amounts to. at a con-
servative estimate. between s25, 900, 600
and S30,000,00 a year
Newark, although the principal. is
rot the sole leather producing com
munity of the State. Any Interrupt
ton, however slight, of this enor-
mouus trade, would be exceedingly
costly. To stop it for any extended
period would ruin scores of manu-
facturers and throw out of work
thousands of artisans.
Il, therefore, feel warranted in
earnestly requesting you, as acting
governor of this State, to call a spe-
cial session of the Legislature, to be
held at the earliest possible moment,
for the purpose of enacting the legis-
lation demanded by the situation"
