Trouble.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The closing of
the Singer Sewing Machine works at
Elizabethport yesterday throws $500
men out of employment. The pay roll
amounted to $40 1900 per week. The
trouble which has been brewing for
many months was precipitated yesterday
when Controller Carlton and City Treas
urer Wheelan of Elizsbethport went to
the factory and made levy for $4,000
claimed to be due on the last assessment
of taxes. The company claims the city
owes them $15O, 900 advanced when the
municipality was in financial difficulty,
and which it is alleged the city refuses
to pay. Orders were issued last night
to run the shops of the company in
Scotland on double time SO that
the bus, ness of the compa-
ny will not be interrupted.
The city officials claim that the CON-
peny always closes down about this time
OF the year, and now they refused TO pay
taxes and make complications possible,
80 that they may have good excuse for
shutting down. An indignation meet
ing was attended by 1000 workmen.
held last night, at which crest excite
ment prevailed. Threats are being made
to wreck the city treasurer's house. A
committee was appointed to call on the
president and ask that the factory be
