THINK OF THE
MONEY YOU CAN
SAVE ON SHOES

Clarence ]. Bloenker of St. Louis,
Missouri, writes, Il have a pair of
shoes with Neolin Soles and have used
them for two years. l think they will
last another six months"
MIR. Bloenker also recommends
Neolin Soles for their comfort and
w~aterproofness-
1t is a remarkable fact that Neoin
Soles cost no more than others that
give only ordinary wear. You can
get them on new shoes in many styles
for men, women, and children-and
they are available everywhere for re-
soling, too.
And look at the money you save
because you need fewer pairs of shoes
with Ne6lin Soles. Remember-these
soles are made by Science to be espe-
cially tough and durable. They are
manufactured by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Co. of Akron. Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels--guaranteed to
outwear any other heels.

CHECKERS AT PIERS
ASK FOR 81 A DAY
Quality of Their Work Is At
tackled by Ship Men

Clerks and checkers at the piers laid
their grievances before the National Adj
justinent Commission at the final open
session held yesterday. filing demands
for 81 day, forty-eighl hour week
and double time whenever they are
called upon to work on salvaged ships,
wrecks or ships containing acids or other
poisonous substances.
There were several varying statements
made of the quality Of the work now
done by the checkers, the contention OF
Clement II. Belts, representing the
steamship men, that the checkers fire.
quently let ship sail off without get
ting its stated cargo, and often sent on
an entirely different class of goods The
remark touched off the gathering ire OF
James Hennessy of Local 874 Of the
International Longshoremen's Associa-
ton.
He defended the checkers as being
thoroughly conscientious workers. II
their morale had suffered at all It was
because of the policy of the International
Mercantile Marine in hiring inexperi-
enced non-union men for that work.
Turning to Frank Toppin of the /. NJ.
NJ. he shouted that the New York Po-
lice Department has put more clerks and
checkers to work on the piers of the l.
M. M. than any other agency" and more
particularly than Local S74. Hennessy
did not name any policeman whom he ac-
cused of being employment officers and
his charges were not questioned. MIR.
Toppin did not enter denial
Hennessy said one of the big objec-
lions was that the /. NJ. NJ. had hired
one or two dancing masters to work as
checkers.
I'VE don't want men like that around"
he declared. They get these jobs just
to get the air. They never were aboard
ship in their lives and they didn't
know what they were expected to do"
The committee then gave consideration
to the complaints of Baltimore steve
dores and longshoremen at Hampton

CONFERENCE HELD ON
N. Y. SHIPYARD STRIKE
1t Is Said so, 900 Men May Be
Ordered Out.

A plan of calling a strike in all ship
wards located about the port or New
York, with a view of enforcing a de-
mand for a forty-four hour week and
rs per cent. increase in wages, was dis
cussed yesterday at a conference OF
union officials representing actual snip
yard workers and various other trades
which contribute directly or indirectly
10 the making OF ships.
Although the conference was secret
and although those participating I'm it
refused at its conclusion to make known
the number of unions they had been
able to interest in the proposal OF
strike, II was said last night that should
a strike be called about $4,000 men Will
be ordered to walk out. No one con-
cerned would say yesterday whether. II
strike is called, It will be called at
once or not until after a week or more
warning has been given.
The conference was held in the offices
Of the Association of New York Ship
Workers and Caulkers at So Duane

The olive branch came from the op-
orators side, the motion to proceed to
negotiate new contract, "in accordance
with the call of the conference" being
offered by one of their number. II
was conceded that the gap between r'rir-
ers and operators was a wide one. but
representatives of both sides expressed
hope that ii would be bridged and that
the threatened strike of 1000 men on
November / would be averted.
The Washington agreement was the
only question before the conference to-
day. John T. Lewis, acting president OF
the United Mine Workers, first offered
a resolution that the agreement termi-
nate at the end of next month.
p. II. Penna of Terre Haute, spokes-
man for the operators, moved as an
amendment that April 1, 1890, be fixed
as the date of expiration as provided In
the Washington agreement. When II
came to a vote operators and miners
supported their respective delegates. The
motion to proceed under the call of the
conference was then unanimously
adopted and adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.

OF personal adornment. including a
diamond bracelet and a gold cigarette
