MORE PAY WANTED
ny tho Printers for Ovcrwork and work



Senator Hawley yesterday introduced in tho
Senate joint resolution authorizing the Public
Printer to pay an advance Of 80 per cent. on the
regular price fixed by law for all work performed
on public printing on Sundays, legal holidays,
and between the hours Of midnight and a. m.
A petition signed by Ave printers accompanied
the resolution
We, the undersigned, a committee representing
Columbia Typographical Union, No. 10l, OF this
city, respectfully represent TO your honorable
committee that printers employed in the Govern.
ment Printing Office are during the session OF
Congress frequently required TO work after IL
o'clock midnight during the week, and sometimes
on Sunday; that since the foundation OF the
Government Printing Office, and up to last
for such work price in excess OF that
paid for work performed during the regular hours,
namely; from 8 a, m. till p M; that last Deem
Der Public Printer Defrees decided that the law
passed February 10, 1877 prevented him paying
such excess, and that thereafter he would pay no
greater price than forty cents per hour; that the
Hon. s. p. Rounds the present Public Printer, has
knowledging the injustice of the law that such
work, performed during such unreasonable hours,
is Tulnous to health, and therefore should com.
maud higher price that II is the custom in all
printing Offices In the United States and Canada to
pay an excess of the usual pay for such extra
work and, in fact such is the custom in all trades.
In view of the above we respectfully petition
your honorable committee to so amend the law
Of February l6, 1877 As to allow the Public Printer
to pay such price for such extra work, performed
during unreasonable hours, as may 10 him seem
just.

An omoer VINO Throws stones.

Yesterday afternoon policeman John
Quincy Adams, without his star. was on the
ball grounds at Union street, ostensibly TO
help preserve order, but in fact to witness
the game in which he took the most inter
est Whenever he saw q little shaver at
tempt to come in under or over the fence
the valiant ''cop" would seize stone and
hurl at the intruder, at the same time
gruffiy ordering him to get out. One stone,
thrown with great force, just escaped crush
ing lads skull, the little fellow barely
lodging in time. Toward the close of the
game Adams noticed boy about II years
old sitting on the fence above the
seats for spectators. Walking across
the grounds he seized large, round
stone and let it drive, striking the lad on
the right side, just below the ribs. The
child was badly injured, and for while
had hardly enough breath left to cry. He
was cared for by some men present, wht
berated Adams for his cowardly and un
manly act. The officer scowled savagelJ
and tried to justify his course. Mayo
Wales has indeed a treasure, but our citi
zens have now another evil to fear besides
the officer who uses his blackjack-th'
policeman who throws rocks at children.

their ignorance of ruling market prices, and
declare their intention to get even with the
shrewd dealer.

Resumption of the Iron nsllls.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 21.-The differences
between the manufacturers and iron workers
having been settled, large number of the
mills started up with full complement of
men to-day, and others will be in operation
by Monday. The best feeling exists between
the employers and employees, and all sides
appear to be glad that the strike is over. In
the blooming department of the Bessemer
Steel Company at Homestead, where 3
strike occurred several months ago, the
men refused to work to-day because the
management discharged Critchlow, who
attacked Fowley in an incipient riot
Fowley, who was non-uniOn man,
shot Critchlow, and has since been
at work at the mill. In order to save
trouble Fowley resigned and Manager VIII
liams then discharged Critchlow. The
decision of the Amalgamated Association In
the matter will test the alleged reforms in
the rules for the government of the mill
committee. The trouble at Homestead has
been adjusted, and the men win return to
work on Monday. Both Critchlow and
Fowly have been relieved from duty.
