Quite a Collection

Quite a Collection
A very remarkable lot of persons
we're arraigned before Judge Fulton,
Saturday morning, to plead to indict-
ments returned, says the Newark
American-Tribune.
1t was remarkable in point of num-
bers, character of the crimes charged,
and the youth and evident breeding
of the most of the men charged with
crimes and offenses, as rule they
were well-dressed, the entire twenty
-four prisoners, and appeared to have
been well-reared. But one other man
was past SO years Of age, and most all
under 40, while half, at least, were 25
years Of age or less. They were
brought in with the irons by Sheriff
Swank, Deputy Brown and Officers
German, Richter and Hurbaugh of
the city force, and Humane officer
Thomas Buoy. Most of the prisoners
took advantage of the right given
them under the statutes to demand a
lawyer by pleading indigency. The
court followed the rule of choosing
from the members of the bar alpha
betically.

Lecture.


Lecture.
Perhaps the most successful enter
tainment given tins season under the
auspices of the Barre Woman's club was
the lecture recital, "Birdland,' given last
evening by Edward Avis. In respect TO
the number OF people present, the affair
was certainly the most successful, for
the auditorium OF the opera house was
filed almost to the last seat. Thanks are
due the teachers Of the public schools
for the interest they instilled into their
pupils and the attentive silence of the
large number OF children is worthy Of
commentator.
The artist, for he must be called such,
was introduced by Mrs. Martin, chair
man OF the educational department of
the club 1t is certain that Mr. Avis
must be a great lover Of the feathered
tribe for no one who was not would have
put the time and effort into learning the
songs OF the various species that he has.
With violin and whistle he initiated
nearly fifty different birds, repeating the

CLOAK STRIKE ENDS.
Union Gets Per Cent Raise In Wages
and Forty nine Hour Week.

Union Gets Per Cent Raise In Wages
and Forty nine Hour Week
The strike Of the New York cloak
makers was ended by compromise.
It was twelve weeks to a day after
the members Of the Manufacturers
Protective association locked out Its
25,000 workers, which action was fol
lowed by the union withdrawing its
$4,000 workers In other shops, inaugu-
rating a general strike of the 6o.0O0
cloakmakers In the city
The three months cloakmakers'
strike, one of the hardest fought in
dustrial battles New York has ever
seen, ended IN a compromise The
workers get more wages and the man
ufacturers get the right to discharge
employees without review OF the
case by arbitrators.
A result on which n majority Of the
manufacturers will probably base
claim of victory is that President II. J.
Vile Of the Cloak, SUIT and Skirt Man
ufacturers' Protective association won
his fight against arbitration There
was no arbitration in the settlement Of
the strike, and there viii be no arbi-
tration Of differences that may arise
under the agreement drafted.
The union retains its right to strike
II it thinks the manufacturers are not
treating the workers right, and the
manufacturers retain the right to ef-
feet q lockout If they think the union
is not treating them fairly. 1t was
the general opinion that there would
be no trouble over either sides keeping
the terms Of the written agreement
and that the strike and lockout pow
ers might be used only in questions of
the discharge of workers.
The general provisions Of the agree
ment win give the manufacturers
these things:
The abolishment Of a protocol
The abolishment Of a board of concilia-
ton
The right to discharge a worker In ao-
cordance with the conditions OF the trade
and for business efficiency.
The union gets these things
The preferential union shop
A 6 per cent increase in wages
A forty-nlne hour week instead Of fifty
hours
A standard scale Of pay for piecework

DARING WHALERS.
Risks They Take When They Dive
With the HarPooned Animal.

Many of the Japanese whalemen are
most expert and daring men. After a
whale has been c0rnered, harpooned
and is slowly giving out from exhaus-
tion the nimble expert Of the whaling
crew must prove his mettle
The skilled Jap, after jumping upon
the animals back and cutting two
gashes~in the head, one on either side,
through which Il rope must be run and
tied, cannot always perform his work
IN one trial. Often the animal makes
deep dive. But the little Jap must
hold fast to his quarry and dive also,
trusting to the fates that his own air
supply In his lungs will last as long as
that of the whales.
The Jap Is safer from being drowned
than from being crushed by the infu-
rated animals tail. If the little Jap
let's 90 1t usually means his death, so
be hangs on to the diving quarry. Ere
quently these Whalemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
Of their crew look upon this misfor-
tune with something of fatallstic re
gard
But the main business In hand is
the capture Of the whale As the fight
progresses and the maddened, fright
ened mammal grows weaker and final
ly is dying the boat crews row closer
to the body and pray for the ease of
his departing spirit Members Of the
crew will call out the words "Joraku,
joraku, jorakuw and on the third day
after the mammal has been hauled
ashore a service Is held and prayers
offered for the animals future content
ment Of spirit
As soon as the animal has been tow
ed to the shore line he is cut up, the
Japs making huge excavations aud
penetrating inside the animals body,
as though entering q mine shaft or
gallery. 1t is grewsome sight, but is
looked upon purely as matter of
course among the Jap whalemen-

State to Insure Workers.

All persons engaged in hazardous en-
ployment by the state, any county,
town or village must be insured by it
under the amended workmens compen-
sation law of New York in the same
manner as private employers are now
compelled to do. In an opinion by the
attorney general it IS held that by
chapter 600, laws of 1916, the compen-
sation law is so broadened as to make
1t cover the employees engaged in dan
gerous occupations by the state on any
of its subdivisions Heretofore the pol
Icy pursued by the state and its vari-
Gus municipalities did not call for such
insurance This policy was grounded
on the belief that since the stHte and
its municipalities We're not engaged in
business for pecuniary gain their en-
ployees did not come within the provi
sions of the compensation law,

Wherever the Scotchman goes he be

fuence on our country
Our first newspaper was published
by a Scotchman; Scot first won In
ternational honors for American let
ters the steamboat, telephone, tele
graph and electric light were devised
by men of Scotch descent. The second
college in our land was founded by a
Scotch divine; our constitution was
framed and adopted largely by the in
fuence of two Scotch lawyers; our
most ma jestic orator, our most win
ming politician, our most metaphysical
statesman, our greatest diplomatist
and our greatest poet were of Scotch
lineage. SO Of many of our business
captains and railroad magnates, almost
one-half of our presidents and large
proportion OF our cabinet members,
judges and governors. Was there ever
such drain Of leadership upon like
area?
The Scotch have not alone helped
make America They control Austria
LA, direct New Zealand, lead Canada
and rule Africa For centuries Scot
and Briton were bitterest enemies. Ed

London The union when it finally
came was one Of crowns and not Of
