18 SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVEETISEMI SPECIAL. ADVERTISEMENTS. JUDGE GOULD SCORES MARRIAGES and DEATHS NO WAGE REDUCTIONS, REITERATES GOMPERS SB 0PPEMHEIM.6LUMS Fulton and Bridge Streets, Brooklyn Important Fur Sale To-morrow we offer the entire stock of Mink, Chinchilla and Ermine Neck Pieces, Muffs and Sets, At Less Than Cost Sale of Fur Coats and proclaimed the theory that the law of supply and demand' governed all things; that 'labor is a commodity to be bought in the open market." and that the wages paid to labor were of necessity controlled by the law of supply and demand. That law has its place in nature and in primitive conditions; but when we realize what science has done and what progress has been made to overcome primitive conditionsin machinery and tools.

In transportation and transmission and that the original conception of the law of supply and demand has been largely overcome, surely we can claim that that so-called law can be overcome by intelligent, comprehensive and determined action of the wage-earners, who, by their associated effort shall refuse to have their brain and brawn, weighed In the same scale with the side ot a bog or a bushel of coal. "Not in the history of our country has there been what baa been termed a shrinkage of values so great as within a few months past. That shrinkage occurred not upon aotual, tangible values, but upon Inflated or watered stocks, which In the financial vernacular are termed In former periods, when shrinkage of inflated values occurred, its general influence upon Industry was almost immediately to affect the real values of production, which in turn were forced upon the toilers in the form of reductions of wages, bringing in their wake an industrial crisis and panic. Our federation claims that If all labor will unfalteringly adhere to the determination to resist any and all reductions ot wages, we shall not only avoid the misery, poverty and calamity of the past, but we shall teach financiers, employers and economists in general a new philosophy of life and industry, the magnificent and humane influences of which will live for all time. "In our country, with the wonderful fertility and extent of our land, the magnificent ingenuity of our people, and particularly the tremendous energy and Industry of our workers, there Bbonld not be any workers who are workless.

We claim that a reduction of wages is senseless, for these reasons: It compels retrenchment in the household economy ot the workmen affected; it curtails, therefore, their consuming power, which reacts on the manufacturers, and brings about further reductions of wages, and this keeps on In an endless chain. It brings In Its wake poverty, misery, suffering and stagnation, until the lowest ebb is reached. Then comes the turn in the tide, and the wage-earners have again to begin anew the struggle for increased wages, with all that that means. "There is neither economy nor wisdom, judgment nor humanity. In such misconduct or misconception of Industrial affairs or duties.

If our captains of Industry fail to profit by the lessons and experience of the past then, at least, the wage-earners of America will teach the lesson from which the human family will reap untold blessings."

Master. George M. Duval, Secretary pro teni. Grants Injunction Prohibiting Them From Boycotting the Buek Stone Co. AN UNLAWFUL COMBINATION.

Calls the Boycott an Illegal Conspira cy to Destroy Company's Business. Washington, December 17 In the case of the Buck Stove and Range Company of St. Louis against the American Federa tion of Labor, involving the right of labor to boycott business houses which labor organisations regarded as "unfair" to them. Justice Gould ot the District of Columbia Equity Court to-day granted a temporary injunction asked for by President Van Cleave of the stove company to prohibit the Federation from contlnu-ing to boycott the company pending a final settlement of the case. A bill In equity was Sled by the com- I pany last August for a permanent in-1 Junction restraining the Federation from i boycotting the company and putting It on the "unfair" list in the Federation's official organ, and later a supplemental bill was filed, charging that notwithstand ing the pending proceedings the Federa tion was Btill actively engaged in pressing the boycott, and a temporary in junction, passed upon to-day, was asked tor.

The case will now proceed to a final hearing, which is not expected before early next spring. The court, In render ing its voluminous finding, explained that there were several points which be had not taken up in the present decision, including the question whethor the boycott came within the inhibition ot the Interstate Commerce law. Owing to the preliminary nature of to-day's proceedings, there was no notice ot appeal by the counsel for the Federation ot Labor. The court made numerous citations of de cisions in cases involving similar Issues, including references to rulings by Judge Taft, the present secretary ot war, then judge of the Circuit Court, in the action of the "Toledo, Railway vs. Penn sylvania Company," and proceedings brought in various states.

Judge Gould declared that it was not surprising that there was so little difference of opinion among the courts upon the question involved, and at the conclusion that such combinations as that disclosed by the affidavits filed by the Buck Stove Company In this case were held to be unlawful was based upon an appreciation ot the fundamental rights of fre9 men in a free country. He said there was little room for argument or discussion of the question whether the plaintiff company had shown the existence of an unlawful combination and conspiracy to destroy his business, and that the record leaves no doubt that tne plaintiff has been and still Is the object of a boycott, using that term "In the most obnoxious sense, an unlawful conspiracy to destroy its business, such a conspiracy as has received the condemnation of every Federal and state court In the country before which it has been brought for criminal action, legal redress or equitable injunction. SEA CLIFF BEACH CLEARED. Old Bath Houses Going Big New Pavilion to Be Built by a Syndicate. (Special to the Kagle.) Sea Cliff.

L. December 17 The Sea Cliff beach will soon be entirely cleared of the unsightly and unsanitary collection of bath houses which have disfigured It for years. The last of the buildings, excepting those which belong to the vil lage, Is now being torn down. It is tne Hall pavilion, at which scores of visitors and residents have bathed dally during the summer. The houses on the Geissen-halner property, which were bought by the village with the land will, it Is understood, be taken apart and removed.

This will leave the end of the beach owned by the village entirely clear and ready for the building of the pavilion which is planned to replace the small houses. There are some differences of opinion among those who are interested in the building of the pavilion, as to the Blze. The most conservative of those interested In the company, think that a pavilion ot three hundred bath rooms will be ample, and say that should the Tillage grow so that more bath rooms were needed, it would be an easy matter to add tbem. Others, however, think the building should have at least four hundred houses, of which a certain number should be set apart to rent to taxpayers of the village whose small houses have been taken down. The fact that the houses have all been removed will necessitate the building of some kind of pavilion in time for next season's bathing, as the real estate agents say that there must be somo pro vision made for the renters of cottages, who formerly rented bath houses with the cottages.

CHARGE UNWARRANTED. Amity ville Negro Had No Idea of Stealing Employer's Horse and Wagon. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. December 17 The only man so far acquitted in the County Court, which Is now on its second week hore, was Leon Smith, a young negro of Amltyvllle, who was freed of a charge of grand larceny yesterday in stealing a horBe and wagon. Just as the Jury left to consider the caBe.

the prosecutor announced to the court that he would consent to a dismissal of the indictment, so the Jury was called back and directed to find for the defendant. Then a burglary Indictment against the same man was also dismissed. "The case should never have been brought to trial," said some of the Jurors. "The boy worked in the livery stable. His employer told him he could take a horse and go for a drive.

The boy did not return with the rig until the next morning, and then he was drunk; this the boy admitted. What sort of a grand larceny charge is that. We are disgusted with such cases." C. B. Partridge defended the man.

IT CAN DE DONE, TOO, HE SAYS 'Will Teach Financiers, Employers and Economists a New Philosophy of Life." Samuel (ionipers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers, were present last night at the dinner of the Civic Federation, which was held at the Hotel Astor. Mr. Gom-pcrs was to have attended the dinner to Register Boulion.

in this borough, but, he said this morning, when President Eliot of Harvard uttered some thoughts about labor unions being "commercial associations" he had to remain to reply to him, and then it was too late to get to Brooklyn. But President Gompers did not only reply to President characterization of lubor unions as "commercial associations." He said other things which sounded strange in the large gathering, in which many representative capitalists were present, and it was this: "Since I have been in New York to-day I have been approached a dozen times by bankers, financiers, capitalists, in open conversation. In written communications and in whispers to the effect that wages must come down; that the laboring man must make up his mind to bear his Bhare of the hard times, "And 1 turned to these men and I asked them whether the soil of our country is less fertile, the treasures beneath the soil less valuable, men's minds less active, the laboring men less industrious. Wherefore, I asked them, is there reason or necessity to thus attack the American standard of living of our warkingmen? "The history of industry demonstrates that every such reduction of wages, in tended to meot such conditions as now exist, has only accentuated the situation, made matters worse. When you reduce the laboring man's earning capacity you reduce his consuming power, and thereby intensify what was already bad enough.

"So I say to the employers to the bankers, the lawyers, the manufacturers, the mine operators, to all employers that If they now attempt to reduce wages they are not going to have the easy sailing they hud a few years ago, for the American worklngman has come to the conclusion that if for any reason the financial situation is as it is and I shall not suggest any reason to-night It was not, at any rate, due to any fault on the part of the working people. "They have made up their minds that they are not going to be tho chief suffer ers because of an artificial panic, or of one caused by the blunders of those in charge of the finances of the country." John Mitchell, when it came his turn to speak, accentuated what Mr. Gompers had declared to be the policy of labor organisations. He did not say it as bluntly as the president of A. 0f but it meant the same; Just here," he said, in the course of his speech, "lot me say a word to the employer.

It is not going to make the trouble any less by reducing wages, though there may be such a movement on foot. Experience has shown this." An Eagle reporter saw Mr. Gompers this morning, just as the meeting of the Civic Federation was called to order. He was correcting copy for thi Federatlon-Ist and trying to listen to what was going on at the same time. He was asked to give the Eagle his views more In detail in regard to bis position on so important a subject.

"I recognize that the old school of political economists cannot understand this stand which we have taken, because they hold that the so-called law of supply and demand governs wages. The declaration which I made last night is not new to us. In my reports to conventions for years past I felt It Incumbent upon me to press home upon the attention of labor the economic unsoundness of the old school of political economists, who advocated the assent of workmen to wage reductions as a means to what they were pleased to term tho way out of an industrial reaction or crisis. Not alone, however, in our conventions, but In the gath erings ot labor generally, 'No reductions in wages has been the slogan and watcn-word. "During former periods of industrial crises or trade stagnation, when labor complacently acquiesced in wage reauc tions, the political economists of the day DIED.

There Is some speculation as to what the attitude of the mayor will be if Tammany goes ahead with Its plan re-elect Ahearn. This may be indicated by the vote of Alderman Reardou, who comes from Maurice Feathersen's district. Featherson has directed all the primary fights on behalf of the administration against Murphy's leadership and the Tammany men are wondering if he will support the mayor if the latter-openly shows that he is opposed to Ahearn's re-election. Tammany has enough aldermanle members in Manhati tan to bring about the re-election. LIEUT.

MR LITTLETON MAY APPEAL. Thinks He May Tet Succeed in Testing Power of Removal. Election Thursday.

The Board of Aldermen is now likely to be enjoined from proceeding with the election of a successor to Borough President John F. Ahearn, whose removal by Governor Hughes was sustained yesterday by Justice Greenbaum in the Supreme Court. The mayor has Issued a call for a special meeting of the aldermanle representatives from Manhattan for Thursday afternoon, but from the way in which Mr. Littleton spoke this morning he may sue out an Injunction, restraining them from holding the meeting. The mayor's notice of the meeting was issued notwithstanding the tact that Mr.

Ahearn has not been officially notified of his removal. Justice Greenbaum's order was served on the mayor yesterday afternoon, but Corporation Counsel Pendleton neglected to serve a similar order on County Clerk Doollng. The county clerk, there-tore, has not filed the official order of removal, which he received from the Governor, nor has he notified President Ahearn. Mr. Littleton claims under this theory that Mr.

Ahearn Is still the legal incumbent of the office of borough president. It Is said that this technicality will form the basis of Mr. Littleton's Buit to secure an injunction to prevent the aldermen from acting. He had not made up his mind yet whether or not he would appeal from Justice Greenbaum's decision or start some other proceeding to tebt tho Governor's power of removal. With Tammany men It was a matter of common gossip to-day that in the event of the failure of all legal proceedings the organization will stand by President Ahearn to the last.

The wisdom of such an attitude on the part of the organization was at first doubted, but it is understood that Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, has come to the conclusion that the organisation Is under so many obligations to President Ahearn that it haB no other alternative. Ahearn, In his capacity as borough president placed the entire patronage of his office at the disposal of the organization, and only men were appointed who had Mr. Murphy's support. In reelecting Ahearn Murphy is simply supporting one of the underlying principles of Tammany, to stand by a man who has stood by the organization.

Tho Tammany leader was at the Fourteenth street wigwam this morning, but he declined to say what the policy of the organization would be. "You can tell better about that on Thursday afternoon," he replied, in answer to a question who would be Mr. Ahearn's successor. This statement would seem to indicate LOST AND FOUND.

LiOUQR MEN IN JAIL; NO WRITS ARE IN SIGHT Counsel Promised to Get Clients Out in Habeas Corpus Proceedings. SO FAR HAS FAILED TO DO IT. Sheriff Told Over 'Phone ustice Carr Was About to Sign Writs Yesterday Perhaps He Didn't. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. December 17 Very amusing, quite spectacular, and somewhat sensational proceedings took place In the County Court here last night.

It was a "session extraordinary," and unique in court proceedings here. The fun commonced as soon as William Lye of Southampton was placed on trial on a charge of selling liquor In dry Southampton. Lye was in Jail, he having been arreBted on a bench warrant, nnrl hln hail hning forfeited. His attorney of record was H. XL.

How ell. Another attorney, Mr. Bracnen ot Manhattan had been conducting other features in the defense. The attorneys themselves had become mixed somenow over the case, so neither was In court. Lye, who is a young Bnglisnman, saiu that his attorney had promised to be In fi o'clock but Judge Grilling in sisted that the case go on.

"DO yOU WISn IO engugu auj ui lawyers present?" asked Judge Grlffing. "I hardly know what I want to do, was the reply. "Well, I'll assign one. Mr. Raynor (ad- a i v.

Rnvnor nf Oreenport), will you look after this case? "I'd rather be excused for I have a number of other cases to try, was the lawyer's answer. "All right. air. iiauu w. of Riverhead), you defend this action, P188-." hnnnr.

and I know nothing about it. but I' take it and Mr. Hand started in on his gra tuitous Job. The lury men were Three were secured before the even- ing recess, si wo -me, ic3 --h tn bin lawyer noon session nye ki, and dlscharked him from the case, with rfMn't feel very Ut course, ju. badly he was working without pay anyway.

Spectators wer considerably amused after the evening recess began to see Le Roy E. Raycor, tne lawyer wuo nam could not possibly attend to the case in the afternoon, walk in and take his place beside the defendant, juubb looked up with a questioning glance. District Attorney Furnian promptly asked who was appearing, Hand or Raynor. Mr. Hand replied that he did not know.

Then Mr. Raynor got up and moved to have it appear on the record that he had been retained at the recess. Then M. Raynor took exceptions to tne trial of his client on several grounds, all of which were denied. He made a lot ot other objections to the indictment, which he believed faulty, but he got no satisfaction for his trouble, and was finally forced to begin on the axaminatlon of a Juror, whom he finally excused.

Later a Jury was secured and the people's case was presented. This morning when the case was canea nu urauic entered, and the Jury returned in three minutes with a verdict of guilty. The greatest Interest prevails through- nm.nt. (n llnMOP nllPntlnh. A UUL LUC wuilij 1 Manhattan lawyer advised the men to get arrested ana get in jaii, tueu get them out Monday on habeas corpus.

The men did as told, but up to a late hour last night no habeas corpus bad arrived. This was what bothered Lye about his attorneys. It was an adroit move on the part of the district attorney. He knew this man's lawyer was not In court during the afternoon, so he promptly moved the case to trial. Lye did not like to explain that his lawyer was coming with habeas corpus, so he had to submit to being forced to trial without having had a chance (because he was locked in Jail) to subpena witnesses for his defense.

During the afternoon a man called up Sheriff Wells. "I am at the Brooklyn Court House. Tirm I tAll n.lffln. that Justice Carr has signed writs of habeas corpus lor ail ot tnose liquor ausnuaui. and will you please be ready to bring them to Brooklyn to-morrow morning?" "All right." replied sheriff.

Shortly afterward the man called up again, repeating the request. "Are those writs signed or not?" asked Sheriff Wells. "No. they are not signed, but Justice Carr Is about to sign them. I will have the writs there to-night." "Then you want me to go and tell Judge Grlffing a lie, do you?" "Well, you can simply say that you believe the writs are Bigned." "Thank von: vnu had better come out and tell him yourself." But the writs did not coma on any train yesterday evening, and one of the cruel features of it was that Sheriff Wells spent a part of the afternoon figuring up a nice bill of fees for taking the defendants to Brooklyn.

He got the amount up to $167 and wondered how the sum could be Increased. Just as he had got through figuring another telephone message came that the writs would be sent out In the morning. People around the court house. Including some of the defendants themselves, begin to believe the writs will never appear. Help Jintnre Core Your Consth.

The connection between the two sewers is what is known as a stolen one; that Is. it was laid, probably In the night, by private individuals seeking an outlet for the pipe on Bleecker street. Mr. Warner complained that the sewage backs up in the pipe because the Queens Bor-oiiKh sewer Is four Inches larger than that in Kings. He was promised that some relief will be given as speedily as possible.
