 New York, July 5.-Fourteen con- tracing firms affiliated with the New York Iron League hae filed papers in the State Supreme Court asking for an in junction restraining mebmers of the union from picketing their works and damages in the sum of $5,00O.0O0 agoinst the In- ternationtal Association of Bridge Struc- tural and Ornamental Iron Workers.
 They are the contractors who refused to sign new wage agreement with the union, resulting in strike on May l.. A great majority of the New York Iron and steel construction contractors have agreed to the increased wage scale and are at peace with their employees.
 These firms insist on operating on an open-shop basis and in using their in fuence through the Iron League to ne prive contractors who sign up with the union from getting material and sup plies for construction work.
 The open-shop bosses have also brought suit against P. J. Morrin. indi- vidually and as president of the Inter national Association of Bridge, Struc- tura1 and Ornamental Iron Workers William J.

JOHN E. JEFFERSON (Continued from Page One

Another policy instituted under MT Otterson also proved a costly failure for the big firm. This was the estab- | lishment of tsores in the leading cities and wholesale establishments at diff ferent points of the country, the idea being to reap all the profits for the company and cut out the retail store owner and hte distributor in the large centers. The scheme looked good at the start as explained by Oterson and his packers because it took in many re- tailers by selling them stock in the company and giving them exclusive agencies.
 But it wasn't as good as it looked. The large distributors, made sore by the company's attitude toward them in shutting them out, came back by re- fusing to handle the goods. Hardware dealers also cut off from Winchester supplies, also came back by refusing to handle htem also unless on competi- tive basis with the company stores, so  ures because other merchants had put an almost as effectual ban on Winches- ter goods as had organized labor men who refused to use the tools. The finale came few weeks ago when the Winchester store right in New Haven, the home of the industry, was admitted Ia failure and was closed, another store bein ggiven the agency for Winchester goods.
 The fall down of Winchester's speed lily followed the war, the big munitions plant at loss for war contracts and munitions immediately starting wage slashing epidemic and then an exten- sion of it's manufactures into many foreign lines it had never attempted to handle before. Specially appointed assistants to MT. Otterson also began program of elimination of the highly skilled and we'll paid men and substi- tuition of so-cal1ed specialists at low wages. The result was inevitable i'll a falling off of production and quality which has finally had the result of a complete reorganization of the com pany policies. I MT. Otterson is graduate of the U. s. Naval Academy, but put in very little time with the navy in return for his education. He married into one of the wealthy New York families con- trolling large block of Winchester stock and was sent here as their rep resentative and finally elected preident and given full charge.
 MT. Drew, his successor, now is rated as man of directly opposite policies to those of Otterson. He lost no time in summonin gheads of all department: and so informing them and asked theil cooperation in bringing the plant back to its former high place in the manu- featuring world.

COAL MINE
 ACCIDENTS FOR
 MONTH OF MAY

Accidents at coal mines in the United States during May, 1924, killed 131 men according to information received from State mine inspectors by the Interior De partment through the Bureau of Mines. The production of coal during the month was 38, ,o81 900 tons, making the fatality rate 3.3o per million tons This fatality rate may be compared with a rate of $40 for May, 1923, and an average rate of 3.68 for May during the ten years 1914 to 1923. For bitrminous mines alone the fatality rate for May, 1924, was 3.04 per million tons, as compared with 2.8o for May last year and ten-year average rate of 325. For anthracite mines alone the rate was 4.o5 per million tons, as against 6.1s for May, 1923, and ten year average rate of 5.84.
 Accident records compiled by the Btu reau of Mines for the first five months of 1924 show 1,132 lives lost, representing a fatality rate of 4.81 per million tons of coal produced. For the same period last year the death rate was 3.o4. The five month fatality rate for bittnninous mines alone was 473 in 1924 and 3.65 in 1923; for anthracite mines alone 1t was 5.21 in 1924 as compared with 5.53 in 1923.
 With no accident reported during May causing as many as five deaths, the record for 192b to tn end of May shows five major disasters" with an aggregate loss of 384 lives, as comparer with five sini- lar disasters during the corresponding period of 1923 with a loss of 150 lives. Expressing these facts in rates per mel lion tons, the fatality rate from ina jor disasters" stands at 1.63 for the five months January to May, 1924, and 0.55 for the same period of 1923. The only class of accidents showing increased la tality rates in 1924 as compared with 1923 is explosions of gas orcoal-dust.

STORM OF PROTEST
 FOLLOWS PROPOSAL
Scheme To MOdernize Part Of Bavarian Settlement Is Opposed

AUGSBURG, Bavaria, March 15.- Proposals to modernize part of Augs- burg, where for centuries there has been located one of the worlds oldest, es- tablished charity settlements, have aroused storm of protest. The colony consists of t54 fwo-family houses and the occupants make their homes there under an endowment arranged in 1519 by the house of Fugger, one of the old est families of Europe and which was enormously wealthy in the middle ages.
 Augsburg has always taken a pride in that part of the municipality set apart by the Fuggers as a home for the destitute of all time. About the time the charity was founded it is said Jacob Fugger, the textile king of those days, financed the election of Charles V, the family being rewarded in many ways for, their services to the kaiser. It is recorded in history that tbe Fug- gers in 1538; were given permission to establish their own mint and to turn out as much gold and silver coin as they desired.
 The charity colony is fenced off from Augsburg proper and the inhabitants administer their own affairs to limited extent with the burgomaster Of Angs- burg as oyerseer. The old residents of Augsburg insist upon keeping "poor town" as it has been for centuries. :,

HOME WRECKED BY HAPPY BABY
Papa Worried So Over. Thumb ?'s Sucking Mama, Had To
 Eyict Him

NEW YORK, March 15.-Has ia ] ther the right to object to his two
 months-old: baby sucking her thumb! Has a mother the right to condone her baby's wllims and take the object l ing father to task for his criticism! l These questions today are before the
 New Jersey court of errors and appeals | to decide. Thus tar the controversy has broken up an otherwise happy New Jersey home and has resulted, in a di- yorce Now the entire matter has been placed before New Jerseys highest trib- 1 unal for review. The contestants are
 George w. Campbell, formerly of Jer- | sey City and now of No. 1a5S Bryant I avenue. the Bronx, and Mrs. Anna Blackshaw Campbell, the sister of Chief O! Police Fred Blaekshaw of Ridgewood, N J. The ..baby" now almost eight years old, is Airline Louise Campbell, | now with her mother. Just as she was the innocent cause of the divorce she is
 now the reason for the appeal made by | Campbell over the decision made by | Vice Chancellor James Fielder in the Jersey City chancery court that he | might see the child only oh Sundays and | legal holidays. : Campbell, who was a we1l-known l Jersey City singer as we'll as a teacher | of music, married the popular Anna Rlackshaw on June IT, 1915.

 the parents separated.
 1 A short while after the separation
 Campbell instituted divorce proceedings
 in the Jersey City, chancery court
 charging constructive deserti0n. Dur l ing the trial which followed, Mrs.
 Campbell admitted his charges, but put in unique defense-onc which has. gene down as history in, the New ter
 sey divorce courts. The defense was that Campbell tortured the child in
 what she termed was his overanxious.
 ardent desire to make the baby perfect. | The one outstanding element of the
 torture, she said, was his insistent re-
 fusal to permit Airline to suck her
 thumb. Every time he saw the thumb
 in the infants mouth he was mortified
 and declared that the little face of the
 baby was being distorted by the prac- | tice, she testified. One night he
 awakened her. she said, to show her the
 baby s awful habit.
 ,Lifeswith Campbell, because of this,
 became unbeardble,' Mrs. Campbell de-
 clared, and she thereafter refused to
 permit him the right of husband to
 remain in the rotn with her and the
 child. As result of the admissions of his wife, Campbell was granted di-
 vorce which became permanent in July,
 1920.
 | In the decree. of divorce custody of
 the baby was awarded to Mrs. Campbell The father was granted the privilege of
 visiting the child Sundays and on legal
 holidays. He insisted upon modifica-
 ton of the order, but it was denied on
 the theory that the mother knew what
 was best for the child.

FOUR MEN LIVE BY ,'
 EATING PORCUPINE.
However, They Never Are Killed
 Unless Life Depends On It

SEWARD, Alaska, March 15.-An unwritten law of the north, never to kill porcupine except for food, was recalled to old-timers here when four men with two gasoline boats were cast up on a rocky and inhospitable shore of Cook inlet, on the other side of Kenai peninsula from here, and remained month before they were rescued. They lived on porcupines and clans. When they were brought off by the jhalibut boat Jugoslav, they were in tip-top condition.
 To slay porcupfne wantonly is, in the code of the prospector and musher, as wicked as to depart from shelter without replenishing the supply of dry kindIing. Porcupine immunity was founded on the frequency with which men whose provisions became exhaust ed in the wilds were succored by the flesh of these animals. The Alaska porcupine, sluggish being, is easily overtaken by man and succumbs quick ly to clout with a stick.

WOMAN AT 1)9 IS RADIO FAN.
Grandma Chappell, Niece Of
 Revolution Betains Health <; .t. And Memory

SEEKONK, Mass, March 15.---Mrs. Maria Horton Chappell, the oldest per son in New England, observed the 109th anniversary of her birth Tuesday. She was born in Rahoboth, near Swansea, March II, 1915. She had several uncles who were in the Conti- mental forces during the Revolution and she can remember events that took place when John Quincy Adams was President.
 Luthers Corners, where she lives, makes something of an event of the birthdays of Grandma Chappell, and school children called Tuesday at the, home of her daughter, Mrs.s Frank B. West, to congratulate her, hear some of Ter "reminiscences and eat some of her daughters cookies.
 Dearest of all the incidents of the day to Mrs. Chappen was the visit of her son, Herbert R. Chappell, of .Willi-. mantle, Conn.,, of which he formerly was mayor. He never fails to eat Thanksgiving dinner with his mother, nor to visit her on her birthday. on that occasion bringing carnation for each of her birthdays and one to grow on. He is seventytthree.
 Because of the interest of her family and neighbors in her welfare and to her own keen mental faculties, Mrs. Chap pell does not dwell in the past, but takes an active interest-in current af- fairs and is an ardent radio fan, hay ing received set as gift from one of Der grcat-great-grandnephews.
 Until three years ago Mrs. Chappell was able to read, without difficulty. Cataracts are forming now and her eyes cannot deciplfer ordinary type. Re flection from snow makes it particular Iy hard for her to see in winter. She IS well and vigorous, however, and re- gards the precautions taken by her daughter, who insists upon accompany7 ing her if she goes for stroll, as ridiculous.
 Mrs. ChappeH is the widow of Ralph Chappeii, builder, who died in South Nlndham, Conn.,, in 1883. She moved to the home of her daughter in Luthers Corners in 1888. She is a descendant of a Huguenot family. that came to America in 1560. Her husband was a descendant of John Charpell. who came to Boston from England in 1885. Her sons wife is descendant of John Web Ster, who was governor of Connecticut in 1856,
 Mrs. Chappell had four brothers and three sisters, all of swhom lived : to be more than ninety and one of whom reached the age of ninety-seyen years
 Although niece of the Revolution" several times over, Mrs. Chappell never has sought to become member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Massachusetts department of the Organization has taken up the matter independently, however, and it is ex- pected she soon will be certified as a member.
