1000 Employees of Massachu-
sets Governor Quit
Shops To-day
WANTED 20 PER CENT.
INCREASE IN WAGES
Men Said That Foss Refused
to Submit Grievances
to Arbitration

Boston, May 25.-Twelye hundred em
ployes struck to-day at the shops of the
Il. +. Sturtevant company and the
Becker Milling company at Hyde Park
Both companies are controlled by Gov
ernor Eugent Y. Foss OF Massachusetts
| Tie strikers demand twenty per cent
wage increase and improved working
conditions. Most of the strikers are
men, but several women quit in sympa-
thy with the men.
The strike followed vote which was
taken at a mass meeting last night
al which it was stated that strike
might have been averted had Governor
Foss consented to submit the mems
grievances to arbitration.
Governor Foss in refusing the de-
mands recently announced that unless
he imported help it would be necessary
to shut down the plants. At that time
he said that conditions growing out Of
impending changes in the tariff laws
had bearing on his decision not to
grant the increases.
Advises Pattern Makers.
o. L. Preble of the Pattern Makers
league said last night in part: "Gov.
Foss has got TO be shown and | am
glad that you are going to show him.
The members of your committee seeking
to get some concessions from the gov
ernor have met with failure, and their
appeal for arbitration has been laughed
at. The governor was not convinced
that You men would strike, but believe
that he will be convinced tomorrow
morning
1T is beyond my comprehension why
the governor permitted this action to be
taken tonight. He will regret it. This
is business proposition with us, despite
the fact that Gov. Foss has taken it very
lightly. We have something to sell, and
that is labor; and we are going to re-
ceiye fair price in return for IT,

The first week in December Mr.. Growcher
sits and scowls.
His line of talk is something like a dis

He says this shopping early cry is ali a
needless row.
Ii he were running things there'd be no

The second week he takes a look into the

His smile is supercilous as he ambles OF

If early shopping's mentioned he will give
Surly shrug
And end the conversation by remarking

The third week he will turn his eyes
away and grit his teeth
And try to look annoyed when he OBJ
serves a holly wreath.

The Thirteenth Motor Killing.

Another life taken by motor car IN
the city of Washington. This brings the
total of deaths in the current calendar
year To thirteen and emphasizes anew
the fact that the streets OF the capita'
are not now safe for pedestrians rms
accident occurred at a street crossing,
the victim and his companions making
their way from curb to curb at the resu-
Iarly appointed place. 1t appears that
when the motor approached tney were
compelled To hasten their steps, ana one
of the boys, becoming confused, stepped
back and Was hit. Doubtless this action
was directly responsible for the collision.
and perhaps blame cannot be attached TO
the driver of the car on that account.
Nevertheless ii must be borne in mind
that pedestrians are by this time so ac-
customcd TO the rush of motors across
street intersections at unchecked speed
that they feel under compulsion to dodge
and give the cars the right of way. Not
until the pedestrian can be assured, by
d general and specific observance of the
crossing rule, that the motorist will have
his car under control and will himself
take pains to avoid a collision will he
be able to cross the streets in confidence
The very fact that this backward step
OF indecision and sudden alarm may
be expected should make the motorist
particularly careful whenever he ap-
proaches a crossing, and, of course. when
he sees that any pedestrian is about to
cross. Safety at the street crossings can
only be insured when the motorist as
sumes the responsibility Otherwise. il
the pedestrian assumes the responsibility
there will be uncertainty on both sides
and accidents will continue, with addi-
tons to the death roll. How to make
this responsibility of the motorist effect
i've is for the courts to determine in such
cases as can properly be brought before
them whenever a crossing collision be-
tween car and pedestrian occurs. The
training of the motorists in this respect
can Just as well be brought about by
cases based upon non-fatal accidents az
| upon those that cost life This process
| OF education through court examples
should not be undertaken in spirit of

New York.

The most significant announcement
made III connection with yesterdays re
publican conference held in New York is
that nearly every republican of impor-
tance i'll the state present. 1t shows
that the leaders of the party there are
aroused to the opportunity to recover
control of the state. An unprecedented
democratic wreck in the city and'an un-
precedented democratic mess at Albany
should yield much to the republicans if
they go in the right way about ilnprov-
ing the occasion.
Action is demanded at once. The repub-
licans will control the new assembly,
which meets next month: and although a
democrat sits in the governors chair that
fact need not mean d deadlock on impor-
tant legislation Gov. Glynn is no de-
fender of his party's derelctions. but is a
reformer himself. with definite ideas of
the shape reforms should take. So that a
republican assembly. working properly
for reforms. should be able to reach an
agreement with a democratic executive on
matters pertaining to honest nominations
and elections to office, and honest dis
bursements of public moneys for public
purposes.
Mr.. Root presided yesterday and ad-
dressed the meeting. He presided at Chi
cago last Year, and indorsed the means
adopted for the nomination of Mr.. Taft.
Mr. StimSon, friend of both Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt. was present, as was
Job l.. Hedges, who headed the repub-
lican state ticket last year. Another no
table in attendance was William A Prem
dergast who last year supported Mr..
Roosevelt for President, and was re
elected controller last month 10y an enor
nous majority on the city fusion ticket
He has returned to the republican party
and will support its tickets next year,
and later
All of this has value outside New York
valuable as it is there 1t is something
worthy the consideration of the repub-
lican national committee at the meeting
which will take place in this town in a
few days, for the purpose of devisinS
means for rehabilitating the party
throughout the country. 1t shows that
there is a competent force left for fight
ing purposes, which only needs reorgan-
iZation and intelligent and progressive
direction to make things hum again

The Big Cities Are Learning.
From the Springfield Republican.


That the skyscraper evil in New York
must be checked is the unanimous con-
clusion of the committee on building
Aneny, the borough president of Manhat-
tan If the regulations agreed upon by
this body of architects, engineers. real
estate men and city planners are adopted
no building can be erected to a height
of more than eighteen stories, though
towers may be carried as much higher
as the owner pleases. But eighteen
stories is the maximum for solid build
ings and is to be permitted only where
there is plenty of space, as at street cor
ners; otherwise the limit set is sixteen
stories. And beyond that there are re-
strictions based on the width of the
street which must be half the height of
the building, and zones are recon-
borhoods by buildings of an undesirable
type. Altogether the law proposed is
progressive, and for New York nothing
short of revolutionary and it is to be
noted that action is being urged on pre-
cisely those economic grounds which
We're urged years ago by reformers, but
at the time received little notice. Quite
aside from esthetc considerations, high
buildings have been found to destroy the
rentable value not only Of neighboring
buildings, but of the skyscraperS them
selves, which the committee finds TO have
been 'smothered by their own growth .
In short, 1t is not feasible architecture
for general adoption. and New York is
being forced like Chicago, to fix limits
in self-defenSe. This measure NAV be
defeated but sentiment is growing SO
rapidly that the adoption of restrictions
is now looked upon as inevitable

Squeezing the Loan Shark.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The decision of the appellate court in
New York sustaining the conviction and
sentence of one Tolman, a notorious
usurer. ought to have a salutary effect
on the sharpers who have made it a
practice to charge exorbitant interest
rates against borrowers. 1t means that
Tolman, who is accredited with having
made a fortune in the business, must
serve six months in the penitentiary. in
stead of escaping on a technicality or a
merely nominal fine.
This is the course of treatment most
likely to break up the sordid games con-
cealed beneath the cover of charitable
motive in advancing money to the poor
and needy. 1t is unfortunate that the
benevolent organizations which earnest
ly and honestly attempt this work,
charging the legal and reasonable
amount of interest, should be constantly
brought into disrepute by the blacklegs
who operate under high-sounding names
and hide behind young woman employees.
