Schools Not Bricks
And Mortar, But
Teachers And Books

These words of Daniel G. Gilman,
president and founder of Johns Hop
kins University, written in the decade
of the civil war, might well be apple
able to the Palisades and it's school
problems:
"It is not bricks and mortar, but
men and books, which constitute a
university. We delight in appro-
pirate and decorated architecture. 49,.
But we trust that a desire for suit
able edifices will not prevent a supply
of higher wants. Let first-rate teach
ers be first secured. Let no expense
be spared to secure the highest edu-
cational ability which the country
will afford. Then, as the scholars as
semble, as the courses and plans of
the university are developed, let such
buildings go up as will best provide
for the wants which have been
created"

INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE.

On Tuesday night last, about 9.55
o'clock, when many Palisadians and
Hilltoppers generally were about to
begin wooing the drowsy god, there
was a tremendous explosion that
hoisted windows everywhere. No
body at that time could locate the
trouble, but it developed later that it
was caused by an explosion of dyna-
mite at the Englewood rock crusher
in Jones road between Fort Lee and
Englewood, back of the golf links.
1t was some bump Of an explosion,
and was heard all over Bergen county,
According to reports, no one was
hurt. The crusher plant belonged to
the Prentice Company. All the en-
ployees were away on account of the
hour.
Charles Gallagher, the night watch
man, who was asleep in the steel
house, about 300 feet from the crush
er, was thrown from his bed by the
force of the explosion, but was not
injured.
The crusher, while situated in En-
glewood, is on the hill section in
dense woods.
The entire front walls of the plant
was reduced to kindling wood and
one of the, large stone crushers twist
ed and bent out of all possible repair.
The other was forced out of plumb
and considerably damaged. The en-
CINE, it is said, escaped damage.
From reports Wednesday morning
it is thought that dynamite was used
and that the charge was set under
the front walls of the building.
The fact that the company's maya
zine, where their dynamite is stored,
showed no evidences of being tam
pered with, leads to the belief that
the explosion was the result of spite
work.
In speaking about the accident, an
official of the company said that the
plant had been partly wrecked by fire
last year and that they had been
robbed on a number of occasions,
their engines being stripped of all
brass trimmings.
The firm brushes stone for local
purposes only, it being used on the
streets of Englewood. Spring opera
lions were only begun on Monday,
with one day shutdown on account
of rain.
The plant is valued at $4,000.

Edgewater Strikers
Continued from page u

Monday, March -, when we asked
permission of the sugar house to
present our grievances, they refused
to listen to us. At that time the COM
pany was stocked with enough raw
material for the filling of orders for
two weeks: they could afford to wait
for three weeks before they would be
tied up by the strike. A committee
Of the strikers went many times to
the works to ask to be heard but
were refused. Last Friday after the
company had secured all the help,
such as it was, they wanted, they
sent up word to US to ask what we
wanted.
"On hours of work up to March
Is, had been II and 10, for day and
night work respectively The lowest
price men received 10 cents an hour
and the highest % cents. We de-
manded an increase to % cents and
26 cents an hour; on Sunday nights
our hours were from 8 o'clock till 7;
for this period we demanded time
and half pay; also for overtime.
"At present there are $50 men still
holding out, with so or 60 working
in other concerns such as the Amer
lean Can Company, the coal docks,
railroad and SO on.
ga most unjust proceeding on the
part of the company was the whole
sale cleaning out of our steel lockers
of all our working clothes and be-
longings. These, we were informed,
were dumped into fifteen barrels and
burned up in the great furnaces.
Rubber coats, boots, tools, overalls,
cans, pals, and even watches were
destroyed"
Others of the men talked and COM
planned of the mule-like treatment
to which the men were subjected;
they were driven like cattle, and
foremen put over them who were
good drivers. These insisted that
the work be done in three shifts of
eight hours each at fiat rate of 25
cents an hour.
The strikers are made up of Lithu-
anians, Poles, Russians, Slavs and a
few Italians, none of whom could
understand the others language.
Something under a hundred of the
strikers have taken out their first
papers. On March 10 last the sugar
strikers were organized into
branch of the Independent Organiza-
ton of Sugar Workers of the United
States States. ---e-.-.-s.
Rumors are rife that in addition to
the workers of the Warner Sugar
Refinery and the Midland Linseed
Oil Company who have already gone
out the Corn Products Company, and
the Spencer Kellogg Company's men
were preparing to walk out. The
Barret Manufacturing Company, it
is understood, have granted their
workers demands for an eight hour
day.
Among the dozen or so plants
along the Edgewater river front it
is estimated that the workers in the
various concerns number about as
follows: Warner Sugar Refinery, $50;
Corn Products Company, 700; Gen
