The Canal Lock strikers 49, They Take
Possession Of the canal Works
at L0CkpOrt.

ALBANY, N. Y, June M.-Digpatches from
Lockport report that the discharged lock-
tenders on the canal at Lockport had seized
the locks and refused to allow any one to
take their places, and prevented boats from
passing through.
LockpOTt Is one of the most important
canal centres on the line, and such action by
the strikers would completely interrupt canal
navigation from the West. The suDerintaud-
ent OF public works has left for the scene Of
trouble. Advices received last night reported
that order has been so far restored by the
local authorities that navigation has
been resumed. The superintendent says the
question raised was merely whether he should
carry out the purpose Of reform on the canals
or not. He intended to discharge all men
who accepted scale money on canals or per-
qutsttes from captains for passing their boats
through In hurry, and would keep on dis
charging, set after set, until he succeeded in
putting honest men in their places. COnsid-
erabEe excitement is visible here among canal
men, who have heard probably exaggerated
rum0rs OF the extent OF the strike. A good
many discharges have been made at this
point.

New York HOtel Keepers ON a strike,
New YORK, June M-Seven hotel keepers
OF this city have issued circular calling for
meeting Of pr0priet0rS and managers TO be
held on Wednesday evening, in the West
minister Hotel, to discuss the advisability Of
forming hotel keepers association similar
to thosein Chicago and San Francisco. There
Is some difference of opinion among the
hotel men as to the object Of the associa-
ton, one asserting it was to crush Judge
Hilton by advising their guests to do their
shopping elsewhere than at Stewart IL Co.'s
He said there was a great deal Of indignation
among the hotel keepers when they saw him
close the Womens Hotel and open it as the
Park Avenue especially as prices were low
The seven signers Of the circular differ,
however, and say they have sent circulars to
both Judge Hilton and Mr.. Henry Clair, and
that they expect to see the latter at the meet
ing. According to them the object of the as-
sociation is to protect the hotel keepers from
dishonest servants and undesirable guests.
