LABOR DISPUTES.

Much discussion is occasioned among the long
shoremen and stevedores and others engaged in
similar labor III view Of the announced intention
of several large steamship companies to reduce
wages from Monday next about twenty five per
cent from the current rates. At the dock OF the
Old Dominion line the reduction has already gone
into effect, but, as yet no line or house employing
members OF either OF the labor unions has made
the reduction. For plain WORK, such as handling
gram. plenty OF labor Is TO be had at the rates
offered, and the employers, in view Of the low
sarin OF neights and lack OF business,
But the unions number about 10000 men,
and all are prepared to resist the cutting down.
Roger Burke, the President OIL Union No. 2, which
ls the largest and most important, said yesterday
that he thought the attempt to reduce wages
kind would certainly be resisted by strike. The
men could now earn fair living only when they
were fortunate enough to get work at night upon
late steamers. Many had not peen employed half
the time since the panic last fall and there were
more who were earning IS week than there
were earning SIC. The wages OF non-society men
had IN some cases already been reduced as on the
Old DOMINION line, at pier 81 North River but all
union men were stiii paid the regular
he believed, would join IN an attempt TO
cut the wages down, as 1t would result III their
own embarrassment He said tnat unless sucn an
attempt should be general there would be no gen.
eral strike, but only strikes against such employ
els as engaged IN the movement. The men obliged
TO leave work would be aided by the unions, winch
are IN q prosperous condition. His own lodge
had fund OF $4,000, and the others had good re-
sources. Although inexperienced men might be
obtained Tor some or tue most simple work the
business OF loading and unloading vessels was q
regular trade, winch mad TO be learned like any
other, and an attempt 10 employ unframed hands
would IN most cases be found a failure oy snip
owners ana merchants. IL was possible, he
said, that such attempts might lead to violepse
on She part Ot some OF The 'ioncshoremen, but
any riOting or disorder woaid be dlscountenanced
by the men as a body as they knew that 1t would
deprive them OF public sympathy. A convention
Q1 1'longshoremen, consisting of one representative
Tor eacn hundred workmen, Will be held next Fri
day night to determine on q plan or action.
The coopers' dispute remains unchanged. Bosses
who resisted the regulations OF the unions have so
far secured all the labor they required, their work
being mainly repairing or sugar ana molasses
casks. No serious dlifcultv has occurred or Is
anticipated IN the snops where regular work Is
was hunted at between the locked out men and
their bosses Will De eiectually prevented by
vroper police vigilance.

RoBBING A TRAIN.
Daring Robbery In New Jersey
"Hcavinx . Peter On tho Drag"

A Daring Robbery In New Jersey
'sHeavinx . Peter On tho Drag
One or the boldest robDeries ON record OF an
express company's sale took place last evening on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western train at
about elghty-fve miles nom this city. The
Oswego express arrived at oxford, N. j.,
at seven O'Clock, when the express
messenger employed by Westcott co.
secured the door OF said car and went TO another
car to make some arrangements about freight.
Upon the arrival OF the train at Manunka Chunk
it was discovered by the messenger that the car
had been entered by robbers and the safe had
been thrown out on the track. An entrance
had been efected from the roof by breaking
the windows and then pushing the door
back. The men must, IT is thought have swung
iron rod running parallel with the sides OF the
car. 1t is thought possible that it is some person
or persons connected with the railroad who COM
mltted this daring robbery. The name OF West
cotrs messenger who was IN charge OF the
bears a very good reputation for sobriety and
honesty. 1t is thought that the ROBBERS mad some
accomplices waiting on the road with instruments
10 break open the safe and decamp, speedily
as possible, knowing that every moment was
valuable. The train had run twelve miles before
that daylight Will give some clew for the detec-
tiyes, who are already at work at different points
At one O'Clock this incoming HERALD reporter
called at Westcotts office, in PARK row, in this
city, but was unable 10 gain any lniormauon, tne
ONCE being in charge OF porter. The porter was
asked what amount OF money Is carried IN such
safes as that just stolen-whether $4,000 or $40 coo
on an averageg His reply was, 'Both are right"
No means existed, therefore, as the HERALD is
going to press OF finding the extent OF the rob
berry.
1t was reported last night at Newark that De.
tective Wamood is TO commence working up the
case. In thieves language the aoove is known as

CURIOUS CASE OF FALSE PRETENCE.
A Well Known Citizen of Newark Con.
yicted of a Grave crime.

A Well known Citizen of Newark Con.
yicted of a Grave Crime.
Considerable Of sensation has been created in
Newark over the conviction OF Mr.. James r. Gil.
more, well known citizen, OF false pretence.
The case mas several curious phases. Some time
ago Mr.. Gilmore married wealthy widow, Mrs.
Burnett. He was accounted quite wealthy and
owned large amount OF real estate In the lat
ter, emulating the example OF good many other
wealthy Newarkers, he speculated largely, but the
fall in the value of real estate during
the last few years caused him to
lose largely, so that property for which $50,o0O
was paid became worth scarcely half that amount.
Some time ago Mr.. Gilmore disposed OF some prop
ertv on South Orange avenue on which there was
q mortgage OF $4,000 Among the purchasers
LelbsteIn. Leibstein went before the last Grand
property under false pretences pretended that 1t
suit was the finding OF three indictments
against Gilmore charging him with obtaining
money under false pretences. The accused was
tried on Friday and Monday on one OF the indict.
ments. The jury found HIM guilty, an6 he Is now
awaiting trial on the other two indictments unless
he should plead cult cOntendds. Owing
to the position the defendant has occu-
pied IN business ana in society and to the
TACT that probably there are many persons OF
bis class who are In the same position II the truth
were brought out Mr. Gllmore's case is the sub
ject OF widespread discussion in Newark business
and social circles.
