contractor, stopped work on the ground
that they had been unfairly treated by the |
contractor, who refused to pay them for the !
work they had done, and in Overcharging |
them for the supplies he had furnished, such !
as charging each man for three drinks a day
when it vas understood by all that the three |
drinks were to be furnished free Of charge. |

money. that the Jetty Company had not
given him money enough to pay them off,
but that he expected to receive funds
enough to settle all their demands.
This, il appears. did not satisfy the
