SHOW OF STRENGTH.

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 26.-With
more than $4,000 employees of the
General Electric Company voluntarily
idle, this city faces an industrial crisis.
However, aside from numerous meet
ings of workmen and orderly crowds
in the streets and about the bulletin
board in front of the various labor
union meeting halls there is no excite
ment resulting from Tuesdays walk
out of nearly all the force of the larg
est manufacturing plant of its kind in
the world.
Throughout the city there was an
atmosphere of preparation. In dozen
or more labor headquarters meetings
were held and preparations begun for
what many fear will be a lengthy
struggle. In a central hall heads OF
the various unions met and discussed
ways and means of carrying on a
strike, should one be called. Mean
while the leaders were emphatic in
| their statements that there is no strike
as yet. They explained todays walk
out as demonstration of strength to
show that the General Electric Com
ipany cannot crush unionism."
The union workmen are not look
ing for shorter hours or more pay,
they point out, but correction of what
they claim to be an unjust discriInina-
tion against two of their companions
Frank E. Dujay and Miss Mabel Leslie,
both of whom have been active in
union circles. The two were laid OH
recently, the company claiming theiI
removal was part of a policy Of re
trenchment. The union workers, how
ever assert the laying off of the two
was due to past activities in labo
union circles. They also claim tina
the receipts for the carrent month ex
ceed by more than $1,O00,O00 the re
ceipts for November, 1912.

ed the Democrats would be able to
agree upon vital features of the bill
and unite upon amendments to the

ing before subcommittee of the leg
islative investigating committee Tues
day, Dr. Y. E. Gordon of Chicora, Miss,
declared that his name on the papers
on which Mrs. Alice Shear, formerly
of Chicora, but now of Pensacola, Fla,
was committed to the East Mississip-
pi Insane Hospital was forged. Testi-
flying further DR.. Gordon declared that
he was never called upon to examine
Mrs. Shear before her Incarceration
in the Meridian Insane Asylum and
that he had never seen the papers that
were presented to him Tuesday. He
said that he knew Mrs. Shear before

he had no reason to believe that she
was insane.

er sensational chapter to the Shear
