MODERN LABOR MOVEMENT
AS BULWARK OF JUSTICE

The labor movement, in spite of its
shortcomings and insutticiencies, is the
greatest bulwark of right and justice
for the millions who toll 1t is the
movement which protects the man
and woman who work from the many
forces of selfishness and self-aggran-
dlzement which would deprive them
Of the just fruits of their toll. 1t
Is labors Rock of Gibraltar, against
which the enemies OF labor will dash
themselves to destruction in their at
tempt to frustrate the aspirations OF
labor to obtain it's just due.
The labor movement works for the
good of the working class and through
II for all humanity.
Long live the labor movement!

1900 ARTISANS
MUST QUIT JOBS
Conference on Wage Rates a
Failure, Sixteen Plants Will
Shut Down.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 22.-SiX-
teen sheet-iron and tin-plate plants,
employing more than 1000 men, will
close down for an indefinite period on
July /, it was announced today, as a
result of the failure of the Amalga-
mated Iron, Steel and TiRpate Work
ers' Association and the owners of
the plants to agree on wage rates at
the conference which closed today.
Early in the session it was init
mated that no advance in wages
would be asked by the employees, but
several days ago they demanded con-
cessions which the plant owners re-
fused. declaring that a state of de-
preston existed in their business
which made any advance in wages
impossible. The men asserted, how
ever. that the mill owners misrepre-
scented the situation and that condi-
tions are by no means as bad as they
claimed. The representatives of the
men left here today declaring that
they will not return to work unless
their demands are granted.
A conference between the workers
and mill owners in the bar iron in
dustry held here last week had a
similar ending.

IFrom a STAR Correspondence ]

WASHINGTON, June 22.-For forty
years Stevens Institute of Hoboken,
n. j., has been trying to collect the
sum of s45,75O and interest from the
government. Congressman John J.
Eagan has taken up the old, old
case, and by his well-known persistent
methods 1t is expected that the matter
VIII come nearer to a settlement now
than it ever did before. He has drawn
bill calling upon the secretary of
the treasury to pay to the trustees of
the institute the sum due it. The
matter is now before the sub-commit-
tee on claims.
The old claim has become historic
and its history is interesting. 1t dates
back to July /, 1862, when Congress
passed an act imposing taxes on lega-
cies, inheritances, etc. This was one
Of the numerous Civil War measures
to provide funds for the great con
fiict then raging.
When the elder Edwin A. Stevens
died in 1868 he left a block of land in
Hoboken and s50O,O0O to be used for
educational purposes. This was the
beginning of Stevens Institute, which
was opened as the Stevens Institute
OF Technology in September, 1871.
DAdOi iAiC al VI July l. loOls anu
its amendments, the bequest of Mr..
Stevens was assessed by the national
government at s45,750 Although
other eduoa tional institutions for one
reason or another failed to pay the
amounts assessed against them the
trustees of the Stevens Institute paid
its tax within twenty eight days after
the receipt by it of the bequest from
Mr.. Stevens. The trustees of the in
stitute who were also designated as
the executors of Mr.. Stevens's estate,
were his widow, Mrs. Martha B. Ste
vens, Samuel 3. bod and William H.
Shipper.
Under the act of July l, 1862 above
referred to, tax was laid on a be-
quest made by Matthew Vassar to
Vassar College at Poughkeepsie, New
York Vassar College received this
bequest a short time before Stevens
Institute received its bequest from
Mr.. Stevens. Vassar College, however
neglected to pay its legacy tax to the
government, and on July Is, 1870, six
months after Stevens Institute had
paid its legacy tax, the forty-first
Congress passed unanimously a

Celebrate Centenary of
Elizabeth Sunday School

ELIZABETH. June 22.-The Sunday
school of the First Presbyterian
Church, in Broad street, was 100
wears old yesterday, and in celebra-
ton of the event special exercises
were attended by representatives
from nearly every Sunday school in
the city.
The exercises began yesterday morn
ing. when Rev. DIR. A. Woodruff Hal
sey. of York, secretary of the Board
of Foreign Missions and a former
member of the Sunday school, made
an address. Rev. Wilbur Force
Whitaker, the pastor, also made an
address. Ebert n. Renshaw, super
intendent of the school. presided.
Members of the school took part in
the program. Special music was a
feature.
Immediately after the service the
congregation gathered at the grave
of Rev. DR.. John Mcdowell, founder
of the Sunday school, and placed a
wreath on the tombstone.
The anniversary exercises continued
yesterday afternoon. Addresses were
made by Rev. L. e. Hubbard, Rev.
Sidney S. Conger, of Mexico City, and
the pastor. A history of the Sunday
school was given by James B. Noe.

CONGRESSMAN EAGAN FRAMES BILL TO
GET GOVT TO RETURN $45,75O TO STEVENS

special act relieving Vassar College
from the payment of its inheritance
tax. At the same time the same Con-
gress passed an act repeating the in
heritance law itself as applied to
charitable and educational institu
tions, but the law failed to make any
provision for the return of the taxes
to the charitable and educational in
stitution or institutions which had
paid such taxes, and as consequence
the Stevens Institute of Technology
has never been able to recover the
taxes so paid.
one of the chief objections which
the treasury department has urged
against the passage of previous bills
for the relief of the institute was
that if the bill should become law
it would create a precedent that
could be followed by any and all
other institutions which paid the
same tax. DIR. Humphreys, president
of Stevens, has always contended that
there were no other institutions af :
fected in the same manner as was
Stevens. He requested the treasury
department 10 examine it's books dur
ing the time the tax was IN force,
but this the department declined TO
do, claiming that il would be practi-
cally Impossible 10 go over tut poOhS
at this late day.
Congressman Eagan then suggested
to President Humphreys that he
write a letter to every educational IN
stitution which existed during the
years the tax was in force, namely
from July. 1862. to July, 1880, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether any
such institutions had paid such a tax.
President Humphreys did this and
addressed two letters to all educa-
tional institutions now in existence
and which We're in existence between
1862 and 1870. 1t was found that
there were about 80 such institu-
tions. DR.. Humphreys received re-
plies from all but few of these in
stitutions, and in only one or two
cases did it develop that the taxes
had been paid and then in very small
amounts.
Armed with this evidence Congress-
man Eagan and DIR. Humphreys ap-
peared before the sub-committee OF
the committee on claims in Washing
ton today. 1t is on this evidence,
coupled with the other facts in the
case, that Congressman Eagan eX-
poets favorable action on his bill.

AFTER ROBBER|ES

Tea Stores.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY. June 22.-Ten
months after a series of daring day
light robberies of several tea stores
in this city, the police yesterday
arrested Harry Kuhn, twenty-four
years of age, of 374 Wilton street,
this city. He was arraigned today in
the Second Criminal Court and held
without. bail for a hearing by the
grand jury.
Two stores of the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company in Jersey
City were entered in daylight in
August of last year. a couple of days
apart, and robbed, after the manager
had been held up with revolvers.
Three men were in each robbery and
their descriptions tailed in each case.
The police searched for a former en-
ploye but they failed to find him and
it was not until yesterday that they
arrested Kuhn, who they say has
confessed
He told the police that man
known to him only as '.Hennie." and
a third man whose name he did not
know, both of whom he met in a
saloon, planned the robbery of the
store at 230 Bergen road Kolhn
waited outside the store while the
other two went inside. Then he says.
he ran away. He met them a couple
of days later in the same saloon and
! they told him they got nothing from
| the cash drawer.
Then it was they planned the second
robbery. this time selecting the store
at 1877 Monticello avenue. They got
S44 here and the prisoner says he got
his share and decided to leave town.
He went away and remained away
nearly a year and was back in Jersey
City only two days when he was
picked up by Detective Gallagher and
| locked up.
