WOrkmen on the big hotel. which were supposed to
be satisfactorily arranged 10y the appointment OF
John A. Rice receiver, 10 be rs far from set
Element as before. The men, who returned to their
work on the promise made by the company Of
speedy payment Of all their claims have met
with continual disappointment in their cx-
pectahons. The payment has been delayed from
day TO DAY under one preteXt or another. The
wages due them date from the frsl of June, and,
Notwithstanding the varous statements which
have been made to the contrary. nothing has been
paid the men for work since that date excepting
the compromise Of 20 per cent for the June wages.
The whole amount now due them amounts to more
than 100000
Day before ,sterday when Receiver Rice went
down to the beach and offered certificates for the
wages instead Of cash payments as had been prom
Ised, all work stopped and the dissatisfied workmen.
about $50 in number are now celebrating on the
measures which they can take to obtain their
money. Everything is done in a quiet and orderly
way aud no fear OF any disturbance IS fclt A com

Foreman Reliley that the man upon whom he called

certificates would be, they had not yet been put
on the market. IT, however, the men could afford
to hold them and wait for their pay, they would
soon rise TO their face value They would probably
decide TO wait lew days at least before taking The
GER Icates. IN hopes that The receiver would make
II a part cash payment.
Money is much needed by many of the men, rs the
supply which they bad when they arrived IN many
cases has gwen out. Ihe hOtel-Keepers also. who
board the men tog the company have refused 10
supply them with food alter Saturday. unless some
more satisfactory adjustment can be made. All OF
the men whO have been boarded by the company
complain bitterly OF the fare which they say is very

mcndurabe, and those who have had the
means have found other places where
they can get good board at more reasonable rates.
