SLOAN & CHACE
STRIKERS WILL
RETURN TO WORK
Sentiment in Favor of This
Course in Vote Being
Taken Today.

The strike at the Sloan & Chace
plant, corner of Thirteenth street and
Sixth avenue, which has been in prog
ress for the past two weeks, was
broken this morning, when the
strikers, in a stormy meeting at
Smiths hall, corner of Fourteenth
street and Sixth avenue. voted to re-
turn TO work. There were about 35C
men to walk out at the start of the
strike.
Carl Larsen, organizer of the
brotherhood of Metal workers, who
has been in charge of the strike,
stated after the meeting that the
strike was still on, although permis-
sion had been given to the strikers tc
return to work If they so desired
without being classed as strike
breakers.
THE strike was for an eight-hour
day and ten per cent. increase in
wages. When the men walked out OF
the shop they were unorganized, and
labor leaders state that this was re-
sponsible for the failure of the
strikers to secure their demands
Then, again, many of the skilled ma
chinists who were at work in the
plant secured jobs in other shops
while the strike was in progress. leav-
ing the strike drop fiat.
II IS generally understood by the
strikers that Peter Weber, president
of the Sloan & Chace company, Is de-
termined to refuse work to many OF
the men who were instrumental in
having the strike called and who were
active on the picket line.
Several OF the strikers applied for
work this morning and some were
told to return Monday, while others
were notified that they could not come

PROGRESS|VES
HAVE DIFFERENT
OPINIONS, TOO
Will Put Up Complete County
Ticket, but May lndorse
Others Candidates.

Internal disensions are not confined
to the local Republican party by any
means, as was apparent today when
representative Bull Moosers were ap-
preached in regard to their views as
to the party policy in the approach
ing campaign. Whether a rock-ribbed
Progressive ticket shall be nominated
or a coalition slate indorsed is the
yexing question.
The ultra radical party men,
headed by Walter A. Simpson secre-
tary of the executive committee. are
inclind to the belief that only tried
and true Progressives should be
named, while the more conservative
are equally convinced that they
should indorse candidates already in
the field as the nominees of an exist
ing faction or league.
The latter element is not disposed
to indorse the full ticket of any party
or organization, but to select such
candidates on any or all tickets as
seem best fitted to bring about the
overthrow of the alleged special privi-
lege in Essex county politics. The
head of the coalitionists is Howard s.
Dodd, Progressive State committee
man from Essex county, who re-
marked this morning in regard to the
situation
"By indorsing such candidates on
other tickets as meet the approval of
the rank and file of our party mem
bers, we will rid ourselves of the
stigma of being office seekers and at
the same time will contribute sub
stantially toward the election of men
who will give the people of this coun-
ty clean, honest and decent govern
ment. Although my name has been
several times of late mentioned as
the Progressive party candidate for
register, | want to say that ] was
never consulted and that such use of
my name was wholly unauthorized,
/ am not and will not be a candidate
for any office on the ticket this year.
"The attitude of the Progressive
party in this and other counties" con-
tinued Mr. Dodd, "is best indicated
by the text of the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions at the Asbury
Park conference last July.
The report in question is as fol-
lows:
Progressive Position.
"The Progressive party of New Jer-
sey intends to place complete ticket
in the field in every county at the
coming fall election. If the advance
ment of our principles can best be ac-
complished by nominating non-par-
tisan ticket, it is our intention to
nominate such a ticket. The reasons
impelling 100000 citizens to turn
from the leadership of the Republic
can and Democratic parties in 1912
are the reasons why the Progressive
attN chould confinup To exist today
Conditions in the old parties have
not been bettered-in some cases boss
ism is more prevalent and open, and
the leadership as reactionary as ever
Nowhere have conditions become so
changed that there is no longer need
for party whose chief aim is to fight
special privilege, corruption and bos-
ism in every form.

TRADES COUNCIL
BACKS R|LFERS
AGAINST COLGATE
Delegates Go on Record as Ap-
proving Secretary's Cs~se
on Legislative Matters.

Labor men in Newark and Essex
county, as represented in the Essex
Trades Council. are solidly behind
Secretary Henry Hilfers. of the State
Federation of Labor and of the
Trades Council, in the latter's con-
troversy with Senator Austen Col
gate over legislative matters at Tren-
ton. Delegates to the Essex Trades
Council last night by unanimous
vote reiterated their Endorsement of
Secretary Hilferss course before the
Legislature, and by the same token
placed their sign OF disapproval on
the action of Senator Colgate in writ
! ing a letter to the State body which
requested that Secretary Hilfers be
eliminated as the labor representative
at Trenton because he was persona
non grata in the Senate and that the
work he did be delegated to Henry
J. Gottlob, another local labor leader.
The controversy between Senator
Colgate and Secretary Hilfers has
arisen over Mr.. IIiIfers's criticism of
Senator Colgate's stand on labor mat
ters at the last session of the State
Legislature, and particularly with the
Senator's support of the state con-
stabulary bill, which the federation
opposed and which failed of passage
by the Legislature. Mr.. Hilfers has
taken occasion to publicly oppose
Senator Colgate's candidacy for gov
ernor, and furthermore, he was a
member of the legislative committee
of the State Federation, which made
a report to the annual convention of
the State Labor Federation at jersey
city this week, criticising Senator
Colgate and declaring him to be the
representative of the Manufacturers
Association, which is declared to be
against the unions in legislative mat
ters.
1t was largely this report to the
State Federation which brought forth
q letter of reply from Senator Col
gate on Thursday of this week con-
/ tanning the attack on Hilfers. Mr..
Colgate gave the letter to the press
and declared that he had also mailed
n copy to the State Federation of
Labor, to which body the communi-
cation was addresses. SO far, ac-
cording to the statement of Secretary
Hilfers, the letter has not been re-
ceived by the State body or by any
of it's officials and that he has no
official knowledge of 1t.
The federation will hold sanother
meeting within a month, when the
communication may be received I'M
til then Secretary Hilfers says he will
not make a reply. At last nights

Secretary Hilfers in brief way told
of his duties at Trenton, and it. was
following this explanation that the
delegates again indorsed his course,
although they had done so several

LONDON, Aug. 21-The greatest
naval battle of the European war
may have been fought in the gulf OF
Riga yesterday. Every effort was
being made here today to obtain more
details of the action reported by the
Russian war office in an official state
ment declaring:
Strong forces of the German fleet
have penetrated the gulf of Riga and
fighting with our ships continues"
A German fleet of ten dreadnoughts
and battle cruisers, with number of
armored cruisers and destroyers, ap-
peared off the entrance to the gulf
on accommodating expedition few
days ago. Immediately afterward re-
ports came from Copenhagen that
several units of the Russian fleet
were bottled up inside the gulf, and
that the Germans planned to pene-
trate the gulf and destroy them.
Though the narrow entrance was
thickly strewn with mines, the Off
cial statement from Petrograd indi-
Gates that the Germans succeeded in
forcing their way through.
The whereabouts of the dreadnoughts
of the Russian fleet. the Slava, Inn

IT'S UP TO US

A paragraph is fitting around in the
press to the effect that 1.-THE future
may be bright for some, but the road
will always be dark for others.
Of course some pessimist wrote it,
for pessimists always mill around in
the shadows.
AS matter of hard fact, this world
is always just about what we choose to
make it.
1t we pull long face and go out
hunting for troubles, we find them in
punches.
If we saddle ourselves with case of
the blues in the morning, and hang
onto it with death grip all day,
and take it to bed with US all night; we
will probobly find life's pathway shroud
ed in gloom.
But it will be gloom of our own max
ing, and we will be getting only that
which we sought.
But how different is the other side?
God inflicts us all with certain trou-
bles, but He also gives us brains, ant
determination. and a will power with
which to rise above the petty perplexi-
ties and tribulations of life.
The bright side of existence is al
around us-in front of US everywhe ere
we turn-constantly knocking for ad
mission.
1t is ours for the taking.
The man or woman who cannot fee
thankful for the pure air, and the brigh
sunshine, and three meals a day, i
something less than a normal humal
beng. There IS screw loose SOM
where.
Even the animals of the earth an
, the birds of the air are not SO degenel
: ate in their class, for they seek alway
: for the brightness of life.
And is our intelligence and our wi
S power inferior theirs, that we shoul
: live with an ache and die with grunt
0 Every trouble inflicted upon US is fo
e our own ultimate good, and they are il
i fiintesimal when compared with tn
Il joys of bright mind, a clear conscienc
e and determination to reap to the full
n est of life's blessings.
Z If the road is dark to some, it is b.
e cause they do not use the brains whiC
y God gave them in overcoming the ol
Is stacles which He in His wisdom hi
IT placed in their pathway.
le Our future is up to US, to make or
m mar, as we choose. .-Ec.

SUFFRACISTS' DEMONSTRATION

A delegation from the Delaware
Equal Suffrage Association numbering
about fifty will go to Philadelphia Sat
urday morning on the IL O'Clock noon
boat to take part in the suffrage parade
which will form in Washington Square
at 3 o'clock.
The delegation from Wilmir gton will
include not only Wilmington suffragists
but those from New Castle, Newport
and Arden. The delegation will be led
by the New Castle Fife and Drum
Corps of twelve pieces. The bands
men will go up on the same boat with
the suffragists and will lead the delega
tion from the boat to Washington
square when they will fall in line with
the Philadelphia procession.
The Wilmington Clubs new banner,
containing Delaware's insignia, the
yellow rose and the date of organiza-
ton, November, 1895. will be carried
/ for the first time. 1t was designed ny
| Mrs. William Stanlar, Miss Winifred
Bach and Miss Mathilde Seipp. 1t has
been suggested that those taking part
in the parade wear white dresses with
yellow girdles and white hars with yell
low bands and carried Wilmington pen
nants. However, if it is not conven-
lent for members to dress in that man.
ner, they will not be restricted in the
matter of dress and may wear anything
they choose. 1t is hoped that as many
members of the Delaware Equal Suf-
frage Association as possible will take
part in the parade and will join the
delegation going up on the II O'Clock
boat Saturday morning.
This parade is entirely under the aus
pices of the National Equal Suffrage
Association and is not to be confused
with any activity of the Congressional
Union. So far Pennsylvania has not
become interested IN Congressional
Union work. After the parade mass
meeting will be held at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House. The route covers II
r blocks. Those who do not wish to cover
q the entire distance of parade may fal
n out at any time.

CATTLE PERISH in BARN

Fifteen cows, three bulls and one goat
were burned to death and several sets
of harness, much farming machinery
and great quantity of stores were to-
tally destroyed Monday evening when
lightning struck the big barn on John
w. Talley's farm near Talleyville and
started fire which burned the struc-
ture to the ground. The total loss will
amount to nearly $4,000 on which
there is about $4,000 insurance. Ten
horses were taken from the barn in
safety!
Early in the evening that section of
the country was swept by terrific
electrical starm. The lightning was
extremely sharp and the flashes follow
ed one another in rapid succession.
Members of the Talley family had been
to the barn about three minutes before
tne fire broke out to see that every
thing was all right.
Suddenly there was terrific crasf
and binding flash which shook the
residence and other houses in the vi
cinity. One of Mr.. Talley's sons was
reading the paper when he glanced
from the window toward the barn ant
found it in flames. He gave the alarm
and he and his father and the farm
hands, together with people from tn
neighborhood, rushed to the scene.
When they opened the door, the!
found the interior of the barn in flame
the fire apparently having sprea
through the entire building with start
ling rapidity. The lightning bolt,
seemed, had gone straight down throug
the roof and into the barn and whe
the rescuers attempted to get in, the
found the place so choked with smok
and flames that it was impossible

over eight hours. The employment Of
the prisoners is an experiment.

State State Board of Agriculture, is
proving to be great success. Up to
