K, Mondays Evansville Courier saws:
81 The Tom Jasper was attached yester-
day, at the suit of several negro deck
hands, who, as we are informed, shipped
for the round trip and demanded their
wages at this port. Captain Burke very
properly refused to pay them their full
amount of wages unless they agreed to
help unload the boat, which they refused
to do, and thereupou entered suit against
the boat for the amount they pretended
to claim was due them. This Is another
case of hardship, which calls loudly for
justice. We are reliably informed that
the crew had an easy time of it on their
way up, having nothing to do"
