IS QUICKLY
EMPT|ED IN FIRE DRILL

The fire alarm sounded. Five hun
dred and fifty girls rose from their
machines, and after placing chairs
on the tables, fell into line and
marched from the four floors or the
building. The fire brigade In one
minute and forty seconds had the
first STREAM" on the fire." and IN
another ten seconds the entire brigade
was on hand.
Such was the scene at the plant OF
the American Undergarment Com
pany, at 36 Green street, where w.
]. E. Seder, supervisor of fire pro-
lection and factory fire chiefs, OF the
department of labor had turned IN
the alarm unexpectedly. With the
exception of Leopold Meyer, of the
firm, no one in the building knew
the cause of the fire bells.
The time when the most confusion
could be found in the factory was the
time picked for the drill. 1t was
exactly 11:53 when the gong sounded.
The power was shut off, the girls
calmly walked to the lines, already
leaving by the four stairways, one at
each of the four corners of the build
ing, and as they left in rushed Fac
tory Chief e. w. We'll. Behind him
were fifteen men from all parts of
the building with extinguishers and
hose. At this moment there was not
an employee except the fire brigade
on the floor.
At each door throughout the huge
plant stood a member of the brigade.
Every door had been opened as the
first round on the alarm sounded.
, Superintendent A. w. McCabe, on
the main floor. directed the emptying
of the building and the return of the
girls. According to Mr.. Seder the
drill was done In record time. Lewis
T. Bryant, commissioner of labor,
has his corps of inspectors working
all over the State forming the fire
| companies and at present he has
400 factory chiefs under his direc-
| ton.
The American Undergarment Com
pany Is several years old.

UNION BARRIERS
DEF|ED BY BOSSES
Shop-Owners Vote to Open
Sundays, Irrespective of
Closing Agreement.

The action of the organized barber
shop owners last night in voting to
! keep their shops open on the Sab
bath, irrespective of the Sunday
closing agreement many of them
signed with the journeyman's union,
created indignation amongst the
members of the union today.
Several impromptu meetings were
\ held in the various shops before
working hours today and practically
every one of the journeymen favored
the calling of a general strike at the
regular meeting. which is to be held
! tonight.
Last Tuesday an ultimatum was
| adopted by the union BARRIERS and
sent to the shop-owners giving them
week to comply with the demands
of the union men, and threatening
a general strike If satisfactory
| answer was not received before the
meeting of the union called for to-
night.
Up to the present time the union
has received no communication from
the master BARRIERS, but it is under
stood that a delegation from the
shop-owners' associations in the city
will wait upon the journeymen in ses-
sion tonight to effect a compromise
if possible pending the action of the
Common Council on the Sunday clos
ing bill presented last Friday night.
A new phase of the controversy
developed today, when a committee
of boss BARRIERS waited on John B.
Manager. president of the Journey
mems Local 319, and said that they
would be willing to grant the union
men whole holiday during the
week, with full pay, IL they would
consent to their keeping the shops
open on Sunday mornings for four
hours.
The committee represented more
than a half hundred of the barber
shops in the residential sections of
the city. They claim that they will
suffer more by the Sunday closing
than the shops in the business Sec
lions, because Sunday was their big
rgest day.
A number of Journeymen were IN
clined to look upon this proposal
with favor, but it is not thought
that 1t will be adopted because 1t
applies to only the shops in the
residential sections, which are, in
fact. in the minority.
Its the most favorable PROPOSE
ton we have yet received from any
of the BOSSES" one of the journey
men said today. land If all the
bosses would comply with this agree
ment we think a settlement could be
reached. 1t would give the men
whole holiday once week and that's
just what we want"
The matter will also be threshed
out tonight at the regular meeting
of the union. Many Of the journey
men have declared themselves in
favor of striking because of the vote
taken last night by the bosses to
keep open on Sunday until the ordin-
ance Is passed and the outcome of
the session tonight is anxiously
awaited by all interested.

THE Lily" Is Seen to Great Ad-
vantage at the
Newark.

"A lily is a woman who grows ole
without love-something that every
woman Graves for sometime in hel
life. In other words a lily is an ole
maid and one lily in a family Is
enough"
Such is the advice that Huzar, his
solicitor, gives to the Comte De
Maigny. in 1.-THE Lily" a four-act
David Belasco production being
played by the Payton company at the
Newark Theatre this week.
Too late does De Maigny, a double
faced old profigate, see his mistake
in trying to make lilies" of both his
daughters, after he had robbed the
older one of her sweetheart, and, as
he thought, given her contentment In
keeping his house for him.
What More Could She Want?"
What more could woman want?
She keeps this house; she is wrapped
up in its work, and she is perfectly
happy" says the count to his solicit
tor on the thirty-ffth birthday of
Odette, the lilly" And Huzar's an
swer is an answer that may be car
ried far into many other homes.
There are too many lilies working.
like Odette, in hard-headed old
fathers house, when they should
have homes of their own. You have
robbed some man of the woman he
loved, and you have brought that
woman misery. Isn't that enough.
without making more lilies?',
Christianne, the counts younger
daughter, meets Arnaud, an unhap-
PLY married artist who has seen his
wife once in the ten years of their
married life. Little lies are told by
the girl to give her the chance to
meet her lover again. Before the
marriage of Max, her brother, to the
daughter of a wealthy merchant,
Christianne is discovered in her
clandestine love affair.
Brothers Engagement Is Broken.
The engagement of the brother is
broken and he vehemently attacks
his sisters name Father and brother
assail the younger girl, and then
Odette for the first time lets out
the sorrow and misery that has filled
her heart, that has wrinkled her
face and lined her hands, and turned
her golden hair to silver.
Like many fathers of today, Count
De Maigny locked all his doors, be-
l!eving that he could bring up his
two daughters lilies, without know
ing men, or love, or things of the
world, but. as is usual in such cases,
his daughters got out by the win
dows.
As Odette. Miss Edna Earle An
drews truly fits her part. She has
able assistance from Miss Mary Ser
voss as Christianne. In the part of
Max. the brother, Arthur Jarrett has
found a role in which he shows to
his best. Joseph w. Girard, as De
Maigny, Is well-knigh perfect, and
Harry B. Roche, as Flock, the cotton
merchant. is equally good. Claude
Payton. as Arnaud,.. the artist, might
be improved upon. $50
