Arrest Of Alleged Thieves.

They Attempt to Play an Old Game and

Four men who gave their names as James

they went into James Wrinn's saloon No. "a
State street, and after calling for drinks,
played the old dodge of getting bills of large
amounts changed to small amounts and con-
fusing the proprietor in such a manner that
they got not only their own money, but his
also. After successfully working their
scheme they left the restaurant
and Mr.. Wrinn found that the
gang had taken with them more
money than they were entitled to. He
followed them to the depot and informed
Officer Cowles of the theft. The latter tele-
phoned to the police Office and Lieutenant
Wrinn sent three officers to the depot and the
entire gang were arrested. The men were
searched at the police Office and the total
amount found in the pockets of the interest

The Tailors' Strike.

Nearly all the iourneyman tailors in the
different shops of this city are out on a strike.
For some time they have been dissatisfied
with the wages they have been receiving, and
at the first Of the week presented bill of pri-
ces to their employers, and their demands
not being acceded to, quit work yesterday
Among the prices in the bill presented is
5000 for dress coat; $500 for double-breast
frock coat; $500 for silk vest; $3.50 to $1.75
for other vests, according to quality Of goods
and $500 for all fine goods pants.
Merchant tailors claim that they are paying
substantially the same prices as those above,
and on some articles more; but that the jour
neymen demand eXhorbitant prices for ex-
tras, e. G. $1.00 for trying on dress coat, and
other charges.
The merchant tailors declare that they will
not accede to one demand Of the journey
men, and will get men Immediately from
Chicago to fill the vacant benches.
The journeymen are equally confident, and
say they will not go back at the old rates.
