THE CIGAR MAKERS.

They Hold Meeting and Resolve to Ask
an Increase of Wages or Strike Till the
Last Armed Foe Expires.
A Meeting of the Cigarmakers' union
was held last evening at Druids' hall, No.
81 Jackson street, for the purpose of TAX
ing definite action with reference to an in
creased compensation of 81 per thousand
forthe manufacture of cigars. John No
Ian presided, J. II. Reinhardt Oficiated as
secretary, and there was present q large
attendance. Along in 1873, when the gov
eminent tax on cigars and manufactured
tobacco was increased, factors and deal
ers being unable to increase
the price of the commodities,
reduced the compensation of hands, with
the assurance that when sales reached
such limits as to permit their SO doing, the
pay of employees should be in
creased. This has been done from
time to time since the reduction
mentioned, and affairs between manufac-
turer and employees have progressed to
large extent satisfactorily. At the last
session of congress, as is known, the tax
on manufactured tobacco was reduced,
| and employees realizing the saving that
| 1, made the demand for an increase of
81 per thousand over that at present
paid. The general impression seems to
be that manufacturers will accede to the
demand. A meeting is reported to have
been held last week, at which the subject
is said to have been fully canvassed, re-
sulting in a ddcision to comply with
the terms proposed as soon as the
| same are announced. A number
of manufacturers were seen personally,
all of whom denied there had been any
meeting, but stated they had already an-
ticipated the request for an increase, or
would consider the same when it was SUBJ
mitted. The meeting last night was held
with closed doors, but line of action was
agreed upon substantially to refer the
matter to employees of shops for action
These will, to-day or tomorrow, present a
| petition for the increase sought to their
employers, who will be requested to fur
nish an answer at an early day, to the enc
that reports may be made to an adjourned
meeting to be held next Monday night. II
satisfactory no further agitation of the
subject will be had; otherwise matter:
will be so shaped as to eliminate without
further delay. Members of the union be-
lieve that their requests will be conceded
and no occasion for a strike occur

4 landlords Con.plai,.t.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Of late we have seen in every daily
paper in this town repeated urgings to
build dwelling houses" for the many who
come here and seek such, and not finding
what they seek, turn their faces to other
cities, ETC., etc.
The papers stated Just as often that no
better investment was to be found the
world over than building ''houses for rent
in st. Paul. Being g patriotic citizen,
owning some nice lots aud harboring
earnest wishes to invest my means to best
advantage, at once began to look forward
to building some dwellings for rent" As
preliminary measure I interviewed
several gentlemen of my acquaintance,
of whom l knew they were owners and
/ Ieasers of dwellings, to get some reliable
hints and their own experience. Mr.. Editor!
I don't want to build dwellings to rent
now. They utterly discouraged me. They
| advised me to lock my money in my iron
trunk, sit on it and bark all night; they
| advised me to spend my wealth in royal
riotirg; to buy government bonds at So
| per cent. and put them III a vault; to make
| a trip around the world in .. S. man-of-
| war: to give it to the poor; to build pri-
vate railroad; to hunt for the North Polar
| Open sea. etc. One said: 30, yes, renting
dwellings is a good thing, much goodel
than getting the rent. sold my dwell

that can blow the roof off and the doors

can't get the renter out either. The land
lords here are outlaws and the renters hav,
them every time. A man who pays hi
rent forces you to spend it from montl
to month in Improvements, or will leave
and the man who pays no rent is satisfied
| to stay forever, and the law efectually pro
tests him.

The Ricer.

The river rose four inches during the
past twenty -four hours, ending last even
ing, and reports from below indicate it to
be bank full The islands above the city,a
also that below the bridges ARE overlooked to
a large extent, and if the water makes much
further advance they will soon be totally
submerged. River men seem to think the
river has attained its extreme height for
the present, and unless copious rains
are the rule above here during the current
week, no apprehension of flood need be
entertained. There was but one arrival at
this port yesterday, the ''City of st. Paul, y
which came in late during the afternoon
from eagle Slough" laden with cordwood.

Below here, business is picking up re
markedly well, and the season can be sal
to be fairly opened. The lumber trad
has called into service every availabl
craft on the river, and this with the pas
senger and freight traffic just beginning

and 8 a. m. in all points west OF the
Rocky mountains, or the Pacific division.
The meridian time for the United States
is based from east to west upon the
time at the seventy fifth, ninetleth, one
hundred and fifth and one hundred ana
twentieth meridians, respectively. Inc
territory included in the plan is subdi-
vided so that the Provincial standard
governs roads in the Dominion of CANADA
east of Quebec and the other British Prov
inces. The Eastern standard governs
roads in the New England and Middle
states, West Virginia, Virginia and North
Carolina and South Carolina. The Cen
trail standard governs roads in the re-
mainder of the Southern Atlantic and
Gulf states, and the Western states to
line drawn from north to south, west or
the Missouri river, and crossing 1t only TO
touch terminal points of roads or
divisions at Fort Pierre, Dako-
ia, Fort Niobrara, North Platte and
Culbertson. Neb., and Fort Wallace and
Sargent, Kan, Mustang spring, Texas, ana
point at the junction of the Rio Pecos
and Rio Grande rivers. The Mountain
standard finds its extreme western points
at Missoula. Montana, Salt Lake and FRS
co, Utah, and Fort Yuma, Arizona. The
Pacific standard governs all roads west of
the imaginary line on which these points
are located, and all other territory west OF
the Rocky mountains. In each case the
standard governs the sections mentioned
from the extreme northern to the extreme
southern points of the railroad systems OF
| the United States and Canada. The
plan makes the division in accordance
with no geographical or scientific
divisions, and is arbitrary only IL
SO far as is necessary to make the stand
ards change only at terminal points, or a
the ends of divisions, as it would be i'm
practicable to change the standard at {
point midway on division of road. TIT
plan, though devised simply in the interes
of practical railroad work, conforms yer!
nearly to those presented by scientists IL
regard to the establishment of standards y
time.
At the meeting of the General Tim
convention in st. Louis on April IL, wher
railroad managers representing 5000
miles of road in operation in the Northern
and Western states were present, tn
standards were unanimously adopted. Tn
Southern Railway Time convention at it
meeting in New York Friday also unani
mously adopted these standards.

wires, on one side of the street, have been
cut down for three blocks, being lowered
to the ground with derricks. On the Op-

at least, support three cables, containing
forty six wires. These poles will be still
further abbreviated by cutting off theiI

poles above the cables. The appearance OF
the street when the work is done is much
