OUT ON A STRIKE.
The Employees of Helwig's Chair Factory Quit
Work. Owing to a Strange Disagreement.

The employees Of Helwie's chair factory, at
New York and Ellsworth streets. went out on a
strike last night, and the shops will probably
shut down for the present in consequence
There was no dissatisfaction at the wages paid,
but the causes for the strike were as follows:
Most of the men (l25 are employed in the sew
eral departments are members of the Knights of
Labor, and, in accordance with the resolutions
recently adopted by that body fixing eight hours
as the measure of days work, notified the pro-
prietors that on and after May they would ex-
pect eight hours to rule instead of ten hours, as
at present The communication was received,
and the men were ordered to work at 6:30 o'clock
yesterday morning, half an hour earlier than
usual On assembling they were addressed by
the proprietor, who informed them that
he had fixed twelve hours as the
measure, and would expect two hours
extra work hereafter. Nothing was said during
the day, but, when the tenth hour was passed
yesterday, the men quietly dotted their aprons,
donned their coats and hats. and walked out
Only few signifed willingness to remain,
and these were persuaded to desist by the strik-
ers 1t is impossible to tell how long the lock-
out will continue, or what the outcome will be-
although no violence of any kind need be feared
The men Were quiet but determined, and ex-
press themselves as bound to carry their point.

connc,Imen and Aldermep ElIrible.

AS there is great inquiry and some uneasiness
concerning the eligibility of councilmen and
aldermen for equity, township and State Of
fees, the law is here given: Section 8 of the
act approved March IA, 1867, was amended by an
act approved March 6, 1877. The act of 1881,
the Van yorhis amendment amended the act
OF 1867, which had been repealed by the act of
1877; therefore the amendment was null and
void
This being the case. Alderman Granville NJ.
Wright is eligible for the iudgeship of the Grim
inal Court Alderman King for the shrievalty,
and Councilman Henry L. Smith for the county
treasurership

AT the meeting of the Democratic township
committee last night the following were appoint
work: Sim Coy, Sterling r. Holt, VIM. K.
Sproule, NJ. r. Shields. VIM. Hugo, Albert
Sahm, and Thomas O'Nell. The chairman, sec
rotary, aud treasurer act with them as ex oficio
members of the committee. The effect straight
ening the city lines will have on certain pre-
cncts if the ordinance is passed before the cleo
ton was canvassed, but the committee decided
for present purposes to follow the old lines or
the wards and precincts is to be- pushed. This
work many of the committee agreed to do them
selves and thus save expense.
