LAUGHABLE JUVENILE TURN-OUT.—The turn-out
fever, which is so prevalent at present amongst tke work-
men of this town, has just commenced to infect the juve-
nile portion of the community. Oa Wednesday morning
last • number of youths, employed aa assistants to the
boller-makers in the Victoria engine-works, Kirkdale, con-
ceiving that them wages, which averaged about 3s. 6d. or
4s. a week, were too small, turned out in a body at the
bleakkat hour, and demanded from the manager 51. a week
before they resumed work. The notice was premature
and unexpected, and the workmen were unable to
proceed with their work for want of their assistsnts ; but
all this did not operate in favour of the boys, for
the manager refused their demands, and in a very short
time supplied their places with other lads. In the afternoon
the turn-outs assembled at the gate, armed with sticks and
stones, fully determined to wreak their vengeance on the
young " knobitioks" who had supplanted them. Sorno
stones were thrown into the boiler shed, and at one time
they made a regular attack. Upon the foreman, however,
making his apparance with • stick to repel them, they
instantly decamped, and escaped detection. At leaving•off
' time the turn-outs again met :it the works, for the purpose of
inflict* punishment on the strange lads, and some of the
latter had to be escorted home. Yesterday, it was said, a
few of the juveniles who " struck " obtained employment
elsewhere, and the business at the Victoria engine works
was allowed to proceed in its usual course.—Lirerpool Aler.
