!. DEMOCRATS TO WIN
kearny MayOralty Candidate
Confident of Success i'll
November.

That Democrats in Kearny have
excellent chances for winning at the
November election was the state
ment made last night by Walker W.
McCarrol, who is the choice of the
kearny Democratic Association for
the Democratic nomination for
mayer. Mr.. McCarrol explained that
In allowing himself to be candi-
date he is making a personal sacri-
flee and intimated he might have
not been able to secure the nomina-
ton had he sought it.
He scored the present administra-
ton for the ever increase in taxes
and made reference to an editorial
which appeared in a Kearny weekly
recently wherein a statement was
made to the effect that candidates for
The mayorality should be made to
demonstrate how the proposed re-
duction in taxes would be brought
about zone way to do it, said Mr..
McCarrol, would be to eliminate the
Gold Dust Twins of the Second
Ward"
Howard Heating, a representative of
the American Federation of Labor,
attended the meeting. He made a
plea for support OF Mr.. McCarrol. lie
declared it the duty of every union
man to vote for Mr. McCarrol He
said that the Democrats had done
more than the Republicans to further
union labor conditions in Kearny.

cussed. Although it was not finally
decided upon, it is believed Edward
Gaffney will receive the Endorsement

OLNEY IS OFFERED
AMDASSADORSH|P
President Proffers Former Sec.
retary of State Post to
Court of ST. James.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Presi-
dent Wilson has offered to Richard
Olney, of Boston, secretary of state in
President Cleveland's cabinet the
post of ambassador to Great Britain.
1t is not known whether Mr. Olney
the matter had not gone so far as
the sounding of the court of St.
James as to Mr.. Olney's aeceptability.
The smbassadorship to England is
regarded the most important of all.
No appointments to the other i'm
portant diplomatic posts had been
finally decided upon today.
Some Massachusetts Democrats
have felt that their State was slight
ed in the makeup of President Will
sons cabinet. and it is believed that
this fact had some weight in bring
ing Mr.. Olney's name to the front.
Some doubt was expressed today
whether Mr. Olney would accept the
post, because he is rs years old and
has had an exceptionally active life.
In official circles it was thought
Great Britain would not be likely to
held two cabinet positions under
Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Olney's legal ability, admins
tration advisors believe, would be of
great value in the conduct of the
Panama canal negotiations, and they
are anxious that he accept the Lon
don post

Paterson Strike.
PICKET SYSTEM WILL BE
INAUGURATED BY LEADER
Working Operatives Will Be
Visited and Asked TO Join
the Strikers.

| PATERSON, \. J.. March s.-9Big
Bill" Haywood. fighting head of the
Industrial Workers of, the World Is
here today to organize the silk strike.
He intends to start a picket sys-
Item and close. if possible, the few
small mills still operating. His work
ers will visit the homes of those mill
hands who have not Joined the strike
and make an effort to persuade them
to quit.
The labor leader was given an up
roarious greeting by big audiences at
two mass meetings today, one in Hell
vetia Hall. the other in Turn Hall.
The police We're on hand, but, acting
under instruction of Chief Bimson
made no effort to interrupt Haywood
since he urged the strikers TO use
peaceful methods.
Haywood was enthusiastic when
interviewed by the Evening Star cor
respondent today. He believes that
the strikers are going to win the
greatest victory in the history of the
silk industry
Practically all the mills are closed
| down. he said. "A special effort will
be made to close the smaller mills
now open. A picket system will be
inaugurated and the homes of the
| operatives still at work will be Wis.,
| tied
What we're fighting for is an
| eight-hour day. a general increase in
wages and the abolition of the three
and f6ur-loom system.
| ut was this innovation-the three
and four-loom system-that really
aroused the millhands and brought on
the strike. When four looms were
used instead of two, there was i'm
mediately more work for the en-
ployees and fewer employees needed
Our contention Is that no operator is
to use more than two looms.
Our slogan will be An eight-hour
day That is what the l. w. w.
stands for.
I'VE are fighting for that in Akron.
o., where $4,000 rubber workers are
on strike, and we're going to win
there, too. Everything is favoring
the strikers.
"The efforts of the l. w. w. have
always been directed to reducing the
hours of labor and thus give en-
ployment to more men, and at the
same time raising the scale of wages.
so far we have taken no part in
the garment workers strike. But in
this silk strike we intend to win.
The silk industry is al a standstill
We have justice on our side. We
have the power. And we are going to
