THE SAILORS LANDLORDS.

ANOTHER DEVICE OF THE sEAMAN's ENEMY.
There seems to be no end to the cunning
devices OF sailors boarding housekeepers TO impose
upon the sailor and TO interfere with the legitimate
business Of those whom they consider their foes The
circumstances connected with the interminabe be-
tween the landlords and the nited States Shipping Com
missioner are familiar. Toward the Commissioner the
landlords seem at length to have apsed into silence and
ouetude and the shipping OF sailors at the seamen's
Exchange goes on almost with its old time regularity.
Detentons short and not Of serious nature, and
will probably be long before seamen as plenty as
they were year ago. But there is another institution
against which the landlords to be marshang their
forces The Sailors Home on Cherry-st. Is large
boardinghou conducted under the auspices Of the
seamens Friend Society. During the recent
troubles with the Shipping Commissioner, the
Keeper Of the Home was not connected with
the conspiracy to defeat the Commissioner in the
shipment Of crews. Many OF the sailors obtained
through the shipping office have from the Sailors
Home and this in direct opposition to the wishes
OF the landlords the keeper Of the house aroused
their hostility He member of the seanen's
Boarding House Keepers Benevolent Association. but
was recently expelled for furns to the United
States Shipping Commissioner BY tins expulsion he
considered himself little injured and for time oOn-
Quoted bis business with the same before.
There is also society called the Neptune Benevolent
two societies linked together that they form In
effect society. The seamen's Boarding House
Keepers Association ut recent meeting passed
utOD that runner IN the employ OF memOers OF the
association could work for the Sailors Home This was
communicated 10 the Neptune Association, and in
sequence the runners for the Sailors Home have
Informed the keeper OF that institution that
they can no longer remain In his
vice. The business OF the runner is TO board
vessels on their ARRIVAL in port and solicit the
the house which they represent The Sailors Home is
left destitute OF runners and few men outside Of
the Neptune Association would TO undertake the
duties OF such position, since II is generally well known
that the class which would be bitter foes have few
pies as 90 their conduct toward enemy. IL Is too
early 70 Judge what Will be the result Of this latest strike
on the mart OF landlords and runners though the Home
must OF course be temporarily injured by the determined
front shown by the members Of the beamens Boarding

THE CIVIL JUSTICES SALARIES.

The fight between the District Court
Judges and the Controller in regard to their
salaries has not stopped yet, although the
late decision of the Court of Appeals, giving
the victory to Judge Quinn, who brought the test
suit nominally concluded the matter. The new Char
ter which went into operation April SO fixed the sala
res OF the District Court Judges at 5000 annually but
the supplemental Charter passed last Saturday, in
creases it to 5000. For May the Controller has with
held payment OF the salaries 70 all the employees OF the
District Courts He claims that during the interval be-
tween April 80 aud June IA the Judges should receive
payment Of salary at the rate OF 5000 year. as that
was the sum fixed by tho Charter and after that at the
rate determined by the supplemental Charter
The Judges insist that they should be paid for the
month OF May at the regular rate Of 10000 year,
claiming that according 20 Judge Fanchers decision,
unanimously affirmed recently by the Court Of Appeals,
they are not attached any OF the Departments Of the
City Government, they officers or employees 0f
them though entitled by law TO have their salaries paid
by the city As their salaries first fixed by legis
atve enactment they cannot any event be changed
except by q special act and provision OF the Charter
is imperative them. The new judiciary article Is
also brought forward to show that interference with the
salaries is unconstitutional.
