years old
On February 27, the Insurance Association held

81 574 Ii III cash and bond for 600 Tor invest
Inent. he SAID he had the money at home and
would produce IT, but upon being pressed, acknOwl
edged that lac had loaned IT, He was given time TO
make the amount good. The officers OF Columbian
Lodge then called upon Mr.. Mehck
TO produce 5000 of the lodge money
which had been intrustcd in his care, but he was
able 10 do IT, As the treasurer was under bonds
to both organizations nothing was done to compel
him 10 make immediate payment, and his friends
felt assured that he would be able TO raise the
money m tune, when he could release some of his
capital from his business. 1t was only ascertaincd
yesterday that he had left the city. Yesterday be-

the bill was to break up the combination al bniiaio
which has been a source IF much complaint 10r
many years. owing to the eXorbtant charges maze
to boatmen for handling grain. 1t was contendtd
that the bill would not effect this, as the Legislature
has not the power 10 dictate TO an elevator OF ware
house owner or lessee what he shall charge, any
more than il has the right to dictate to grocer or
butcher what he shall demand of his customers;
Ii was asserted that the bill was simply introduced
to crafty the desires of bOatman who is employed
and supported by the Canal Boat Owners Assocla-
tlOn TO attend TO their interests at Albany. Ihere
was no anxiety felt with regard to the BILL f0r III
the event of its passage nobody, would pay any
attention to il. The bill fixes the rates lar
below the actual Of labor, and even II IT coma

Brooklyn elevators would be the only ones 10 come

AZ ANSWER To TIE KyIGHTS or LABOR.

With reference TO the charges made against the
Glen Cove Manufacturing Company by the Knights
or Labor Wright Durycs, the president, SAID yes
tcIday 20 a TRIBUNE reporter that there was not a
single assertion that was true.
"ALout 100 employees he continued, "struck a
few DAVIS ago for higher wages, but there has becn
10 general strike Ii has been said that the wages
averaged 81 a day. That Is not 50. The lowest
wages pad have been 81 l2i2 a Gay, and
some WOrkmen receive as much as ~.
Ii is true that nearly all the
men live in houses owned by the company, but they
are only charged from 81 30 to 50 IA month. ms
is less than they cOuld secure similar accOmmoda-
tions elsewhere. Extras are allowed them besides.
1t Is alleged that the employees are compelled to
trade at the companys StOre--a most absurd clam
We pay them their wages in full i'll money every
month and the fact is that there has never been an
order on the store given since 1t was started. ire
wOrkmen buy great deal at the store, but II IS be-
cause il is to their advantage in the way OF prices
Most of the employees are members OF the
Land League, and instead of that organ
izatiOn being opposed by til company,
its meetings have been held in Il hall owned by one
of the propuetors of the factory The other charges
that We have ntcrfered in family matters, or eli
deavored 10 control the votes OF the workmen, are
simply absurd
How do you account for the troubleW
A man who some time ago obtained work in the
factory has been melting the employees To strike.
There is pretty conclusive evidence that he joined
them for the purpose Of gaining their confidence,
ana that lie is in the service OF some organlzaton"

10 the RAZOR Of the Trtbune.

TO the EdttOr Of the Tribune.
SIR ] think have right to object to the
heading which you have put the letter you publish
this morning from Messrs James K Osgood Co. The
statement which these gentlemen complain may be
" scandalous," but it is not " tatte." What sad
ia my letter to The Times was the
exact truth The words l quoted were the very words
used by authorized Of the house OF Osgood for
receiving subscriptions in this city to the "Cyprote

we are concerned, these statements are
wholly false And if anyone claiming to repre-

responsibility, and entirely misrepresented po
sition and opinions" This denial headed
"They object to scandalous tattle." We submit
that the mere statement OF these undlsputed facts
shows the heading 10 be exact and apt.
