WORN SUSPENDED AT CIGAR FACTORIES

Reduction Of Wages by Manuiacturers-Iow
cept Reduction, but their "Unioms'' Will
Not Allow Ii.
Several cigar factories In the lower part OF the
city have mad to suspend operations on account Of
their wOrkmen giving up work. 1t cannot be called
strike, and yet the enect is the same. few days
since Messrs. Stratton, Schmtt Storms who carry
on two of our largest cigar manufactures called their
employees some two hundred, together ana told them
tnat they would be Obliged 10 reduce their wages.
The reason given was that they had been paying
war prices up to the present and the late changes
In the corresponding values OF gold and currency
necessitated reduction. The proposed reduction
was fourteen and onc-quarter per cent from the
wages they had been paying. Not word OF fault
was found by the men at the proposition, the rea-
souaDleness OF which was at once fully and freely
admitted. Their only answer was that they would
be obliged to leave the matter to the Cigar Makers
Protective Union, Of which they were members
The matter was duly referred to the union ana
Yesterday morning the result was made known IL
appears that oil the unions Of which there are four,
have as one OF their leading rules that no member
OF the union to which he belongs. On a vote being
taken the case in point 1t was decided that the
nrOposed reduction should not be acceded TO- aud
thus 1t was reported. The men expressed
regret, but said there was 40 help for u.
Messrs. Straton, Schmitt Il Storms said they
sequence, work was suspended. The factories OF L.
H. Reed, as also one OF Mr.. Stachelberg and those
OF several others, are closed for the same reason
Altogether over six hundred persons nave been
thrown out Of employment. lt Is proposed Dy ine 4,
latter to try and effect agreement on the part OF
the respective unions to which they belong 10 accept
the proposea reduction. The neu SEQ taa Sttuarl oa
aud cannot aroId " lie idle.

sIgGULAR CASE OF ASSAULT.

Citizen Mistaken for Burglar and Struck
ON the Head with Axc-Danger Of Enter
ing the Wrong House.
A sadly illustrative Of the danger OF drinking
to excess and going home In an oblivious condition
was yesterday brought to the attention OF Coroner
Flynn. Martin Graham. VINO lives at 754 Second
avenue, is honest and industrious man amt
usually is very temperate IN his habits. On the even.
ing OF the 2sth ult Martin met some old friends and
by them was induced TO take few glassea
Of liquid beverage, which eventually reduced him
almost TO an UNCONSCIOUS state At late hour
Graham started Tor home, but, unfortunately for
him. mistook the house OF German Tor the one 0c-
cupled by thmsef and, ascending the steps ap
piled his key to the night-lach, which 1t exactly
fitted In moment Graham found himself In tne
hallway confronted with a German who, knowing
the intruder had no legitimate business there, ma
turally suspected he was u burglar and tblef. The
occupant OF the house cried to his wife to bring
the axe, anu on receiving that deadly weapon
tGraham being unable to explain his mstaKe) dealt
him powerful blow on the head with II, knocking
him to the floor. Graham soon recovered sumcienty
to go home, and mas since been under The care OF
DR.. Mccain, of 23l East Forty-frst street. who Is
fearful his patient has received fracture OF The
skull.
Dr. McGahn. not knowing what the result OF the
assault Oh Granam may be, thought 1t important TO
notify the Coroner, In order that his nntemOrtem
statement might be taken. The German who COM
mlttcd the assault on Graham IL known and can ba
secured II his presence should be reauired.

THE EMIGRATION COMMISSION.

What tho Legislative Committee Did Not
Discover-A Source Of Income Not Hinted
At-How Ship0wners Pay for tho Mauten.
ance Of Insane Emi9rants.
Although the investigation INTO the management
of the Emigration Commissioners by the Assembly
Committee on Commerce ana Navigation was con-
Quoted with much skill and most commendable In
dustry 1t now appears that the examination of the
Commissioners failed elicit all the facts. In the
testimony taken at Wards Island and at Castle Gar
den there is not word about "bonded passengers'
and the income derived from the shipping merchants
on their account, and as the aggregate amount paid
into the treasury Of the Commission annually from
this source large 1t is safe to presume that
body Interested In keeping the committee In the
darK.
1t appears that besides the So SO received BY the
Commissioners Of Emigration Tor eaca emigrant
money from the owners Of the emigrant vessels on
account OF "oonded passengers" 1t Will be remem-
bcred that the report OF the examination OF the
Commissioners Of Emigration at Castle Garden, pub.
lished IN the HERALD II was stated on the authority
100000 annually received by the Commission
was from the per capita tax Of So so levied the
owners OF the vessels bringing over the emgrants,
and tnat they had no other income. 1t was
also stated that the income OF the Commission was
the emigrants on Wards Island In proper manner.
Owners OF vessels employed III bringing out emil
grants are required by law to give bonds TO the
Commissioners Of Emigration for the maintenance
or insane and other undesirable cmigrants that may
be Ound on board when the vessels arrive IN port.
1t rests with the Commissioners their agents to
decide who among the passengers ana emigrants
are to be cassed as undesirable" and therefore
bondable; and 1t Is alleged that, for reasons which
can be understood, many emigrants are entered on
the books at Castle Garden as belonging to this class
who never become charge TO the state Accounts
kept Of oil the insane blind and disabled per-
SONS who arrive, and the owners OF the. ships IN
which they come charged with their maintenance.
When the number OF ships engaged In carrying emf
grants from Europe to this port considered and the
fact remembered that the Commissioners OF Emigra-
tion about TO build an insane asylum on Wards
Island at cost OF $3.50 900 for the accommodation
OF persons OF ungound MIND who noat here In the
tide OF emRi alton, will ut once be perceived that
the revenue derived by the Commission from ship
owners from this source must be very considerable.

a round sum annually account OF these 'bonded
passengers their little bill for this year being
$1,782 20. There In no means at hand just now VI

Commissioners would, II properly expended, defray

'Rev. DR.. Rowland elevated the challcc after the

Is strange and unaccountable mistake. There was
no elevation" or any act appr0ximattng thereto.
There was nothing done with the chace that is not
customary In all Protestant Episcopal churches

the Introduction of ceremonies into a church which
protests against the doctrines which those cere-
monies symboze are things with which we have
no sympathy 1t would not be necessary 70 notice
this matter but for the fact that SO much has taken
place OF late which has distressed and alarmed ear

seem proper to aiiow any statement to pass unno-
