Men Out Of Employment.
P0UGHKEEPsIE, Oct. 81, 1873.
The most serious results are following the labor
panic In Dutchess county. Here In Poughkeepsie
the distractions TO Industrial pursuits are just
beginning to be felt. Just east OF here the brick
makers have all been discharged and work In the
brick yards has been discontinued. Boss car
penters have also discharged many men. and busi-
ness In their line is at standstill. Arnold Co.'s
chair factory, where many hands are employed,
has commenced running on three quarter time, as
also J. G. p Yelverton's turning establishment and
other manufactures In the city Will, no doubt,
follow suit. But perhaps the worst blow has
been received at wappinger's Falls, eight miles
south OF here, where are located the Dutchess
Print Works OF Garner Co.. which have employed
1000 hands. Garner a Co., also have extensive
print works at Little Falls, N. Y; Cohoes, Roches.

When the fact is stated that the works at all OF
the above named places employ 10000 hands, and
that the pay roll amounts to about 100000
month, one can calculate what an amount OF
misery and sadness that brief telegram carried
into thousands Of households. At the Wappingers

was interviewed. He stated that all but about 100

could not tell how long work would be discon-

winter. The outlook is certainly gloomy. The
operatives stand In squads around street corners,
or sit pensively In stores or about the village
saloons. But very few talk OF leaving as yet. The
last pay day was Saturday (day before yesterday,
and then they received their notification OF the

them to the storekeepers; but much to the sur.
