DORSEY URGES
END Of Strike
Addresses Girls at Meeting
In Effort to End
Strike

Telling them he was their friend
and urging them to go slow in the
step they are taking and not to trust
too much in the organizers who are
leading them, Mayor Frank Dorsey
this morning addressed a gathering of
fifty girl workers from the Koch
Waist Company and the Perth Amboy
Manufacturing Company who have
been out on strike since yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Between seventy and eighty girls
are now out on strike n in the
speeches of the organizers this morn
ployed in the plants of this city would
walk out If enough pressure was
brought to bear on them.
Yesterday afternoon when some of
the girls were seen by an EVENING
NEWS reporter they were not sure
why they were on strike, but today
all declare that they wan. better
shorter hours. At the meeting of the
girls held this morning in the top
floor of 1876 Smith street, Mayor Dor
sey; /. T. Madsen, president of the
Board of Trade, n Fred l.. Hilton,
secretary of the Board of Trade, wait
ed upon them as a committee to ar
range some way in which q SETTLE
ment of the differences could be
made.
The girls informed the mayor that
they are required to work nine and
one-half hours a day, that the factory
was dirty and the money paid was
rot enough on which to live. They
said they could not stand the condi-
tons any longer n for this reason
were forced to walk out.
Mayor Dorsey told the girls that
he thought they should make an in
v~estigation before they take too great
steps, or line up with some outsider
who ZONES to the shops. He remind
ed the girls hat they were passing
through times when everyone needs
a dollar and that there are some
three hundred people in the city at
the present time who cannot get
work. Demand fixes the price OF
labor, said the mayor, and told the
girls to ascertain the conditions OF
the employer before making too great
demands as he must compete with
the markets of the world.
A girl getting 81 a week, said the
mayor, Is not enough no matter what
business she is in. He told them how
the organizers come to the city and
after getting them to strike and or
ganize and then in about two weeks
go away and leave them to shift for
themselves.
1t was advised by Secretary Hilton
and President Madsen, Of the Board
of Trade, that the girls appoint
committee of five to meet with the
mayor or a committee of men from
the city and the owners of the factory
M see if some arrangement can be
made between them so that the girls
may return to work.

Assembly Tries Again Today
to Elect Speaker and Organize
Continued from paee -
McAtccr Not Adverse.

Contrary to published reports, most
of which were based on statements of
the Republican leaders, Assemblyman
James ]. McAteer of Hudson county,
the Democratic candidate for speaker
of the house, is not adverse to decid-
ing the question of the deadlock by
the drawing of lots. Last week it
was announced that both McAteer and
Pierson, the Republican, were opposed
to this method of selecting the speak
er. When approached on the sub
ject Mr.. McAteer said: II am not
opposed to deciding the question by
lots, providing that method is accept
able to the thirty Democratic mem
bers of the house. l am open and
ready to have the speakership decid-
ed any way the members on the Dem
ocratic side say it ought TO be set
tied"
Then you are not opposed to the
Tipping of a coin?" he was asked.
II am not" vas the reply. II I'M
in favor of putting the names in a
hat, for instance, and letting some
stranger from the gallery come down
on the floor and pick out the name of
the man who should be the speaker.
However, I would not want to decide
the matter in private with Mr.. Pier
son, because l might have to walk out
of the conference the loser and do not
feel that 1 could face my Democratic
colleagues after that"
Mayor Frank Hague, the political
mentor of the twelve Hudson assem-
blymen, was here this week in the
Legislative corridors. 1t was rumored
that the Jersey City executive had a
proposition to offer in settlement of
the speakership controversy, blu;
when approached on the subject said
that so far as he knew there was not q
new twist. turn or angle to the situa-
ton. Men in the Hudson delegation
denied the stories Of a rupture among
its members, and the idea of a break
in the Essex delegation for some Re-
publican for speaker, was also
secuted.
Assemblyman Harry G.. Hershfield
OF Passiac county, came to the Repub-
lican caucus scheduled for this morn
ing on the speakership, prepared to
offer the proposition that McAteer, the
Democratic candidate be elected for
half of the session and Pierson. the
Republican choice, for the other half
This idea has been discussed for
more thar a week but 1t only took
definite shape this morning. Hersh-
field said he figured the session would
run two months after the house is or
ganized and hat Mr.. McAteer would
be unanimously elected speaker to
serve until about March 10, when it
would be understood he would re-
sign. McAteer, when asked II he fav-
ored this Idea this morning. declared
himself unalterably opposed to II.
"If / am elected speaker / will not
resign" declared the Hudson assem-
blyman. They can try that out with
some other candidate, but not with
me-"

SAYS Gates WERE
LOWERED ON BUS
E. ]. Pribulo, Who Escaped
Fatal Accident, ContradiCtS
Statement of Policeman

A statement made this afternoon
by Edward ]. Pribulo, one of the oc-
|cupants of the California Loading
Company bus which was struck by a
Central railroad express train last
Friday night, killing two, contradicts
the information secured at the scene
of the accident shortly after it hap
pened that the gates were down and
that the car was not in first class
running order.
According to Pribulo the gates
were dropped on the a just as 1t
was starting to go across the tracks,
the radiator getting the full force of
the blow. The engine, he claimed,
was almost upon them and the chauf-
feur had no time to back the car
from the track.
Mr.. Pribulo also stated that he was
certain that no policeman tried to
stop the car by jumping in front of
it and he goes further to say that
there was no officer at the scene of
the accident.
Patrolman lLudwigsen, who made
the full report of the accident to the
police, was at the crossing at the
time the fatality occurred, according
the local police record.
AS to the car not running as 1t
should, Pribulo asserted that it was
in fine working order from the time
it left Morgan. If the gates had been
down as they should have been. he
declared, the accident would have
been averted.
The gateman on duty Saturday
night was questioned concerning the
gates by two reporters a few minutes
after the accident and he asserted
positively that they had been lowered
a considerable time before the train
came. Thus the statements of the
gatetender and the occupant of the
car conflict. Pribulo states hat he
was the last mar to leave the car.

A Romance In Pine.

Some of the chances to get rich by do
ing nothing which have been improved
or escaped during the past generation
make rather interesting reading. One
which came to the attention of the
Democrat the other day is especially so.
The accuracy of the statements here
given would not be difficult to prove.
Some time in one of the early years of
the twentieth century an Oxford County
farmer sold his farm for $4,000, which
was then q large price for farm, and
moving to larger town, thereafter lived
the life of . retired tiller of the soil,
caring for bis house and garden, working
a little at odd jobs as he pleased, and
mostly enjoying bis we'll earned leisure.
By his friends he was pointed out as an
example of man who had Hgot rich by
sitting down and letting bis pine grow"
Within eighteen months from the time
the farm was sold the purchaser had
taken from Il pine stumpsge enough to
make good the price paid for the farm,
aud be also then engaged In the sport Of
sitting down and letting the pine grow.
That was some years ago, but not long
enough for money at interest to double
itself at any obtsinable rate The land
has now passed into the possession Of
the Du Pont Powder Co., and in the
transfer of considerable quantity of
real estate the territory comprised In the
farm mentioned was recently appraised
at q little over $4,000.
