Bremen announced that while con-
versing with this man he had asked
| him how money was to be made IN

Complain of Saturday Night Opening.
A communication from the Machln-
ists' Union Local 340 was received
by Secretary Hilfers, requesting that
! the delegates instruct their respective
unions not to patronize stores that
were open after 6 o'clock Saturday
nights. This met with the disap-
proyal of some of the delegates. VINO
said that the only people that patron
| lied these stores were working men
and also members of unions. the
reason that the delegates disapproVed
of this matter was that one store In
Broad street was mentioned and they
were of the opinion that all the stores
should be included in the communi-
cation. A motion made to the effect
that an attempt to organize the girls
Iemployed in these stores was lost.
! Mr. Hilfers said that it was useless
to try to organize them, as they did
not seem to take any interest in the
benefits that could be derived from
organization. and that he was of the
same opinion as the majority of the
delegates that the council had been
made a goat of long enough. "If
these girls want to organize said
MIR. Hilfers, 1--WE will help them. But
as said before we can not do 1t all.
Delegate Henry ]. Loshe, of the
| Metal Polishers and Buffers Union,
spoke for the branch of that union
| in Meriden, Conn, whose members
have been on strike for the past six
months. On his pleas for financial
| aid the council voted to suspend the
rules and contribute $25 to the union.
Several delegates announced for
their respective unions that they had
voted to contribute towards the liqui-
dating of the debt of the Danbury
hatters. "Hatters' Day" will be OBJ
served on January 81, and this has
ibeen set aside as the day on which
all union workingmen will contribute
the money they earn in the second
hour of that day toward the support
of the Danbury hatters.
Four new members We're named by
President Thomas Drew to take the
place of four who had withdrawn
from the committee of twenty-five to
represent the union men in the coming
250th anniversary celebration of New
ark. Among those named as new
members was Miss Mabel A. Craig,
delegate from the White Goods
Workers Local 113.
Before the nomination of officers,

meeting of the council. Mr.. Hilfers in
formed the members that IF the
makeup of the Legislature this year

taken in thinking the room could not
be used yesterday.
The strikers at the Seidenberg fac
tory were paid off today and invited
by Max Unger, the superintendent, to
return to work Monday. Everything
about the pay-off passed pleasantly
both the superintendent and the
strikers joking with each other, but
refusing to give in in the least degree.
Earlier in the day a committee
from the strikers waited on the super
intendent and presented formal de-
mands of increases in wages from
thirty-five to forty cents per hun
dred for rolling and from seventeen
and one-half to twenty cents for
bunch making. This was the first
time formal written demands were
made.

Crippled Father Hobbies to
Scene of Accident.

Otto Neumann. ten years old and a
pupil in st. Peters Parochial School.
of 679 South Eleventh street. was
killed instantly yesterday afternoon
when he was struck by jitney bus
in Springfield avenue near Eleventh
street.
Witnesses Of the accident say young
Neumann chased a boy out OF store
at 5I4 Springfield avenue in play and
continued after the other youngster
across the street. A trolley ear was
going east and back of it was an eX-
press wagon about twenty-five feet
behind The first boy crossed the
street between the car and the wagon,
but Neuman was cut off
Following close behind the express
wagon, but nearer the curb. came g.
jitney bus with five passengers. 1t
was driven by Frederick Lochman,
twenty-five years old, of GA South
Twelfth street
The Neumann boy, after being cut Off
by the expires swagon. remained close
to the vehicle, apparently intending to
cross the sereet behind it, and not
paying any attention TO the oncomng
jitney. The driver of the jitney saw
the boy and tried to turn out, but the
machine skidded and the left front
wheel struck young Neumann side
ways. The boys neck was broken and
he died instantly.
Two policemen were attracted by
the crowd which gathered and car
ried the boy to the office of a nearby
physician. but the doctor was out.
The City Hospital Ambulance was
summoned, but DIR. Julius Gordon,
who responded, said the boy was dead.
The body was taken to Holes
moreue.
The boys father. who has been
confined to the house with u broken
leg since last Labor Day. hobbled
over to the scene of the accident on
crutches when he heard of it, the
first long trip he has attempted since
being hurt himself.
The boy is survived by his father
and mother and brother and sister
both older than Otto. Funeral ser
vices will be held Monday morning

busses. will not be affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, ac-
cording to Secretary A. e. Holiday,
as had been announced.
Mr.. Holiday today received a COM
munication from Daniel j. Tobin,
general president of the Transfers s
and Chaufreurs' Brotherhood. of
Indianapolis, in which 1t stated that
It would be impossible to issue q
charter to an association composed
of owners of jitneys or employees. He
said that a ruling to this effect had
been made and that the American
Federation of Labor was only open
to bodies composed of workingmen.
The New Jersey Bus Owners As
sociation, according to Mr.. Holiday,
| has sixty-two members and everyone
| of them are in favor of the adoption
| of the ordinance which provides for
a $4,000 bond with the exception of
| that clause that prevents the jitneys
from stopping between the postofice
and Branford place. AS this portion
of the street is the busiest in the en-
tire city the jitney owners figure that
they will lose many a f1ve-cent fare
If prevented from taking on and dis
charging passengers between these
two streets.
| That the city will be the loser and
the jitney owners will receive bene-
| fit by the ordinance which is ex-
pected soon to be passed by coun-
Gil was the assertion of several jit-
ney owners recently. While they
claim they will be injured by rea-
son of being prevented from stopping
between the postoffice and Fran
ford place yet the new ordinance
which will compel each owner to fur
nish a Sc. 900 bond will drive out some
of the more irresponsible owners
BY those it was meant, it was ex,
planned, that some young men who
were employed during the day otter
would take their fathers touring cal
and with it at night would carry
passengers. These people, they be.
iieye. will not take out a bond for 6
few hours work each day.

see among the girls who recently went
out on strike little creatures who did
not appear to be over the age of

/ Hilfers. 1T is my intention to take
the matter up with the child labor
committee.
I'VE want these girls to join a we'll

land you delegates know that il there
| is a better conducted body than local

these girls make but fifty or fifty-two
cents n day. They roll 800 cigars a
| day, but there are enough thrown out
! by their employers as unfit to sell to
prevent the girls from making a
| decent living wage. A union cigar
maker only makes from sixty to
eighty cigars a day, but he gets his
money on payday and living wage
at that
Girls employed in these factories
that are over the ages of sixteen are
kept at their benches for ten hours a
day." declared Mr.. Hilfers. "If they
are under sixteen their kind-hearted
employers only allow them an eight
hour day, so that they can keep with
in the law. From thirty-five to forty
per cent. of the cigars manufactured
in this city are made under these con-
ditions. 1t is the fault of the manu-
facturers that the girls went out on
strike. The latter could not stand the
conditions any longer and they were
forced to strike for better results than
they have obtained in the past. But
they will have to organize If they
want us to help them; something that
we are willing to do, but we cannot

rangements to Seat 10000.

4 noon. Mr. DeVoe said that at a
former meeting of the pageantry COM
mittee Henry wellington Wack re-
ported that the publicity committee
is swamped with requests for ad-
vertising but it was the sentiment of
the meeting last night that the page
ant must be provided for. They
should give us $500" said Mr.. DeVoe.
Miss Beegle was present for time
last night and reminded the com
mittee that her contract calls for
the delivery of twelve talks on the
pageant. One has already been given,
she said, and she urged that arrange
ments should be made to provide
large audiences for each of the others.
'Tt isn't worth while for you to be
paying me for these talks If only a
handful of people are going to hear
them" she told the members.

Miss Beegle also urged the COM
mittee not to ask too much Of the
same people. She pointed out that
the school teachers are at present
drilling children to participate in
parades and in the pageant Her
remarks were made when the COM
mittee was considering asking the
teachers to assist in advertising the
pageant by getting sneir pupils inter
ested.
There was no definite word from
Victor Herbert, the composer, who
has been asked to write the pageant
music, but Mr.. DeVoe stated he felt
it was certain Mr.. Herbert would

The erection of the grandstand had
some attention last night, owing to
the presence of Robert Sellick, of 222
Market street, with model stand.
Mr.. Sellick said he could build the
stand in time for the pageant. He
would rather have six months time,
as he prefers Douglas fir to yellow
pine, and three months is necessary
for the delivery of the fir here.
Mr.. DeVoe emphasized at this point
that 1t is to be stipulated in the con-
tract that all work be done by union
labor. He stated that p. A. McHugh,
the Cleveland bidder for the contract,
had promised to employ only union
help.
Mr.. Stevens will be here next Tues
day, to remain a week. Mrs. f. c.

be largely benefited If a similar asso-
citation was organized here
