MESSENGER BOYS
DEBATE STRIKE
Chiefs Argue Over Date
for Action-May Wait
Until Election

Because OF dissensicn among the
chiefs, the messenger boys strike
probably will be postponed for at least
a week.
The disagreement lies. it became
evident yesterday at a meeting Of the
messengers in Floral Hall, between
one leader called de Boss"-he is a
seasoned organizer who lacks several
years Of being old enough to vote
and another leader always referred to
as "De Free Thoughter.'
"De Boss" wanted to call the
strike tomorrow morning; "De Free
Thoughter" wanted to wait until the
day before election. In this discrep-
ancy Of a single week lies problem
which is to be definitely settled at an
other meeting tonight at "A East
Fourth Street.
High Prices Affect Strike
"De Boss" is extremely perturbed
over the high cost Of living, and
wants his followers to begin drawing
better wages at once. Besides, ne de-
clares, "the capitalists have gang
sters following him day and night. so
the sooner the strike is on and won
the sooner he will quit shying at his
own shadow. 49,
As 70 the high cost Of living. he
takes this view:
A wear ago a messenger boy could
90 in some good, respectable one
armed restaurant and get GOOD re-
spectable meal for 10 or 20 cents
which was well within his income. But
not so to-day. Instead, he goes IN
the same restaurant, spends so or ~
cents, and when be comes out MS
appetite is fully as acute as 1t was De-
fore he entered. =, .,
But "De Free Thoughter"-so called
because he was one day apprehended
in the act of speaking from soap
box in Union Square-pleaded tnat
1000 boys must be members OF the
union before a strike is called-high
cost of living or low-and wanted 70
rlay the big card on election eve, so
that New York will have difficulty IN
getting its election returns unless the
unions demands are met by the A. u.
T. Company.
Boys Seem Apathetic
The boys themselves don't seem to
care much either way. During the
last week they have developed stlll
another issue in the strike, which IS
occupying their minds. They have de-
cided that it's unfair for a messenger
boy. when he enters an apartment
house on Riverside Drive, TO be COM
pelled 10 90 in via the basement.
they're not tradesmen, they declare.
and don't like 70 use tradesmen
entrances. SO they expect 70 moor
porate in their strike demands a pro-
test against apartment house superln-
tendents in general, by which 1t IS
hoped a front door reception VIII re-
place the old basement welcome.
The hundred or more boys present
at the meeting yesterday afternoon
applauded when de Boss" asked II
they were ready for a strike to-mor-
row. but they seemed just as enthu-
siastic when DE Free ThOughter" ad-
vised waiting another week. To-
nights meeting will prove whether
free thought or the high cost Of liv-
ing has the frmer grip on New YORK

Wittpenn Like Wilson

my objection to the election Of
Wittpenn is that he is part and parcel
of President Wilson's outfit He is
running on the shoulders of Wilson.
He manifestly indorses and approves
all of Wilson'S foreign policies and Of
fetal acts. He has repeatedly so de-
clared in his eulogian of the President,
who appointed him to the Office he now
holds as Naval Officer of the Port of
New York. If Wittpenn were elected
Governor he would be coached and con-
trolled by Wilson and his official ad-
visers.
81 don't know Walter E. Edge-never
spoke a word 10 him in my life-but |
know he is a true Jerseyman, able and
energetic, with long experience in our
State Legislature and governmental
affairs, and consequently must possess
Z full knowledge of what is required of
the Governor Of our state. He is good
enough for me TO support"
Colonel Price said he hoped Novem-
Der 7 would see the beginning Of the
end of wisconsin in New Jersey and in
the nation, and that il would be
stamped out for all time"

Outrages Still Going On

"Outrages committed by MeAlcahs
on American citizens are still gong
on. and so is the Presidents watch
full waiting. while he Is giving the
American people words, words, words
and adroit and facile elocution. As
Jerseyman and an American 10 tne
manner born, am bitterly opposed
70 Woodrow Wilson for four more
years in the Presidency of my coun-
try. He has been fully and fairly
tried and found wanting.
Furthermore, President wilson IS
clearly breaking faith with the whole
people of our country by his shame
less violation of the provision OF the
platform adopted by the convention
which nominated him for the Presi-
dency to the effect that We favor q
single Presidential term ana
we pledge the candidate Of this con-
vention TO this principle He has said
nothing about the one-term principle
since his election in 1912.
81 don't know Hughes personally,
but | do know he made a good Gov
crnor of New York and an able justice
of the greatest legal tribunal in the
world. He is good enough Morgan
for me TO vote for TO defeat Wood
row Wilson for another four long
years as President Of the United
States.

The Einures of Fate.

MaTgory Golden, alone in her Ia theT's library stared apprehensively about that massively furnished room as though dreading that some new terror might leap out at her from its shsdowy corners. She was unnerved not only by the disquieting disappear anee of David Manley but also by the thought that she was still so surround ed by the tides of evil.
 As she sat there, deep in thought, she was depressed by the sudden sus- picion that some one of the many servants in that house was 9 traitor to his master. Yet as she checked them oyer, one by one, she found noth- ins on which to ground this ghostly suspicion. She remembered that she had once been suspicious even Of Man ley himself, of this serious-minded friend who hid his true feelings be- hind Q mask of light-hearted irrelev- ancies. And there were things in which she herself had not been alto gether candid with him. There was, Tor instance the matter or Tito, the Amazon parrot. She had not confided to AIanley the fact that in that bird, stumbled across in a fancier's shop. she had found an old friend. a friend dating back to her unhappy days in the Owls Nest. And she sighed aloud as she gathered up the papers on the rosewood desk and turned to the vault to which she had forgotten to restore them.
 "Twenty-one. thirty, forty-two, six ty," she repeated, recalling her fath- er's instructions over the wire. For ward and back and forward and back again, for it's a four movement dial, whatever that may meanl"
 The vault door opened, obedient to the combination, and seeking out the inner compartment marked "J" she

at this door when a heard a voice, and at first he thought it was a human voice, crying shrilly through the gloom.
 Let me outl" was the frantic cry close above him. Let me out!" Crop ing and paving along the wall, his hand came in contact with the rung of a narrow iron ladder. He caught at this ladder and drew himself up, for he now stood shoulder high in the ever-mounting flood. On the topmost rung, as he mounted, he found a shak- ing and feathered body clinging stub bornly to the rusting iron, beating with its beak on the hollow sounding boards above his head.
 In flash Manley himself was shout dering up against these boards. There was the sound of a rending staple. and iR another moment he was swarming up through the ruptured trap door. catching at the parrot as he vent

in this rat hole Why can't Legar get back here where he belongs and do his own stickup work?"
 '1 tell you the docs up to the Col den house Ilakin' his haul when the coasts clear! And if you wake that king there you'll have to cut out the red-eye and keep busy chokin' off his holleri"
 Manley could hear their shuffling feet as they recrossed the rough floor ing and then the scrape and rasp of the rusty lock as they once more turned the key in the door. But the moment they were gone he was oEce more busy with the cotton rope about his wrists, for what he had overheard increased his passion for liberty. When man, however, is still youth fully blind enough t6 believe in his start, to nurse the delusion that some special genius has singled him ort and watches over him, he is not easily dis couraged. Yet Encouragement came, and came in form most unexpected, even before Manley's hands were free.
 It came, in fact, in the form of green-bodied parrot creeping stealthily through the rusty cross-bars grill;ng the transom above the locked door. He watched the bird slip into the room, climb along the rusty iron gas jet, deliberately turn it on.
 Manley knew what this meant, and it spurred him to even more frantic efforts to saw through the cords, still holding him a prisoner, for already the fumes of the escaping gas were reaching his nostrils.
 When one strand of it had parted, and he had uncoiled the rest of it from his ankles, his head was swimming and his legs were unable to support him. So he crossed the room on his hands and knees, caught at the rusty gas pipe for support and painfully drew himself upright. His trembling hand went out, found the gas jet, and turned it off And the next moment he fell face down on the rough floor, and lay there in a gray daZe of weak ness.
 How long he lay there he could not tell But he was aroused by the sound of thick voices from the outer cham Der, punctuated by the shrill cries of an angry and scolding woman. He pulled himself together and possessed himself of the brick bat, as a weapon.
 He waited, scarcely breathing, as the door was flung open. So quick, however, was the entrance of the first intruder that Manley could not lift his missile before the darkness had swal- lowed up that shifting shadow. But standing in the lighted doorway was a second man, crouched low and leaHRg forward with blinking eyes, blu> IT, reled navy revolver in his hand. Man ley, eying that evil face as a sharp shooter eyes his target, let fly with his

 The stopping man went down like g clouted rabbit, without sound. But even as he fell the first intruder, al the far end of the room, struck a match. And at that second figure Manley let drive with the only missile at hand
 The heavy glass lamp, hurled true sent man and match against the case side in shower of oil and broken glass. But Manley did not wait to wit ness the result of that second assault. He leaped for the door, caught up the blue-barreled revolver from the hand of the stunned man on the threshold, and drove for the heavier door at the end of the outer chamber.
 But this door he found to be locked. He was on the point of starting back in search of timber heavy enough to batter down that barrier when all movement was arrested by an uproar of sound that fairly drove the breath from his body. For the shower of oil that fell about the lighted match at the vaulted end of the side chamber had sunk into the. litter of rubbish beside the powder cases. had burst in- to flames and had crept closer about those wooden cases until the licking tongues of heat had reached the explo- sive.
 Yet even as Manley stood there, lighting for breath. a second surprise both confronted and engulfed hir. Following close on that telltale roar of sound came an even more bewilder- ing rush of water, tearing through the lowroofed cellar like a thousand hounds let loose And he knew then hat the explosion had broken down he walls between him and the East river at high tide.
 He leaped in the direction of the iccr, iI- the hope of getting it clussd.

 She crossed to the desk and took III the receiver.
 Do you know who is speaking?' demanded voice which sent a thrill of apprehension through her forward stopping body. And the question was repeated as she sat silent, staring be fore her.
 "Yes,' she finally answered, trying to steady her voice. Its Legar."
 The wire brought his answering laugh close into her ear.
 You know the voice, l see. And think you know the man. So listen to what l have to say. I've got your friend ianley, and he'll stay where I've got him.

sons were killed and four injured
here today when an automobile was
demolished by a freight train at a
railroad crossing. The dead are Mrs.
BIs5e, Mrs. Anna Paar, George Rob
erts.
The party was returning from a
tripto the country and did not see
the train because the viewof the
crossing was INSTRUCTED by a street
car. The automobile was carried GOO
feet on the engine pilot before the
train could be stopped. The two wo-
men were thrown out and ground to
death under the wheels.

AMERICANS LIKE NOISE

Of all things which Americans de-
test quiet comes first. Take as aproof
this matter of pianos and talking ma
chimes.
Every workday there now comes
from American factories an even
1000 pianos and about 1900 talk
ing machines. You will notice that the
piano has not been entirely silenced
by mechanical music.
Indeed, the value of pianos made
daily IN our country is three and a
half times as great as the value of
Photographs, but the number of pia-
nos now turned out is smaller than
it was five years ago, while the num-
Der of its great rival is increased bv
half.
Uncle Sam tells US that two years
ago we paid $15, 100000 for talking
machines and 81, 100000 for the re-
cords which they played. No wonder

WILSON'S PROGRAM

Washington, June6- Plans for the
democratic national convention with
particular reference to the platform
were discussed today by President
Wilson with his advisors at the cabi-
net meeting and at informal white
house conferences. Senator James,
who is to be permanent chairman of
the convention, and Representative
DOremus, chairman of the democratic
congressional committee, participated
in the discussion.
The President, who is preparing a
draft of the platform, Will not com
plete his work until after the republi-
can convention. The tone ofthe docu-
ment will be influenced by the action
of the Chicago Convention.
With the idea of eventually pro-
ducing a perfect human race, an Eng
lishman has as a nucleus six children
of as many nationalities and will add
five more to his colony.
The doors of a new street car, de-
signed with the safety of passengers
in view, cannot be opened while it is
in motion and the car cannot be start
ed while they are open.
Telephone poles of glass, nodded
over a heavy wire net, are being made
in Europe. These poles are rarely
broken, will neither rot nor rust and
are impregnable to insects.
