SUES CHATHAM ON
TWO UNPAID BILLS
Status of Water Board Figures
n Emergency Electrician's
Action.
a _
[Special to the Evening Star.]
MORRISTOWN. April 24.—The
borough of Chatham was the defend
ant in a civil suit in the District
Court yesterday, before Judge Oliver
- K. Day. The suit was brought by
Walter Smith, an electrician of Chat
ham, who claimed the new Board of
/Aldermen of Chatham had turned
fown two of his bills amounting to
J100.60 for services as emergency
borough electrician during the sick
ness of the regular borough electri
cian, Harvey Vance.
Smith showed that he had been
working for the borough In December
of last year, and had been paid with
out hesitation, but when the new
board came In on January 1, it turned
down his January bill and also his
February one, refusing to pay It on
account of the charge of an Item for
automobile hire. It developed that
Smith had been hired by the borough
clerk for the board of water commis
sioners, which Mayor Page, of Chat
vjiam, has declared to be out of exis
tence. Borough Clerk Patrick Reilly
was a witness to prove the existence
of the board of water commissioners
by an ordinance as LeRoy Glbby, of
Summit, who has been appointed
borough attorney, would not admit
It
A smile ran around the court room
when Mr. Reilly was asked by Nath
aniel C. Toms, of this town, attorney
for Smith, If E. M. Faulks was %
member of the water hoard and he
id he did not know for sure. A.
at. Trowbridge and William Hopp'ng,
who said they were members of the
water board, testified to approving
the two bills of Smith, which the
borough had refused to pay. DeRoy
Bidding, the borough counsel, told
Judge Day that he had only been
appointed on Monday to his new posi
tion and asked for t'me to look Into
tho law on the case. The latter grant
ed him until Monday to submit a
brief before rendering a decision.

TO GO ON STRIKE
Will Quit Work on May 1 Be
cause Masons Will Not En
ter Agreement.
[Hpnlil to the Evening Star.]
SMMIT® April 24.—Preparations are
being made for a strike of the union
laborers here on May 1. With the
withdrawal of the demand made by
the members of the Carpenters’
Union for an increased wage of from
$3 110 to $4'per day, to take effect May
1, and the renewal of last year’s
agreement between the Plumbers’ and
Painters' Union with the bosses It was
believed there would be no labor
trouble here.
The laborers, however, insisted that
the officials of the Masons' Union
enter into an agreement with them
beginning May X. The officials of the
Masons' Union, however, declined,
giving as reasons that the Laborers'
Union is only a State organizat on,
and is not affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and, fur
ther, that the laborers' have no agree
ment with the bosses as to a wage
scale, nor have the Journeymen
masons.
The laborers say that the masons
agreed one year ago to recognize
their union. This the latter deny.
John Srencua. president af the local
laborers' organization, declared to
day that May 1 a boycott on the
masons would be declared here.
Srencua added that arrangements
have already been perfected whereby
the local mechanics or bosses would
be unable to get laborers to work
with the masons from this State.
James Telford, president of the
Mason’s Union, said today that he
had been advised of the contemplated
action of the laborers.
“Let them go ahead,” said Telford.
"The first trouble they start we'll
take care of them. We haven’t any
agreement with the bosses ourselves,
so, even if we could, we would not be
likely to ‘butt In' on the laborers'
trouble.”
Some of the laborers declared the
1. W. W. will take up the fight In
their behalf, now that the local
Masons' Union has refused to aid
them. It is understood the officials
of the laborers' State organization
are making every effort to prevent
the local laborers from going over to
the I. W. W.
High Mass for Frank Jacques
