tenement-house cigarmakers who struck
some days ago, this makes a total of 5000
men and women employed in the manufac-
ture of cigars who are out of employment
in New York
The direct cause Of tie trouble is the re-
fusal of the employees Of Levy Bros. to de-
clare their strike against the new uniform
price-list off and return to work. In nearly
all the fifteen shops the cigar packers are
still at work finishing up what stock is made
up on the tables. By Thursday afternoon
the packers in all the shops will have joined
the ranks Of the idle. The committee Of the
Cigarmakers' Progressive union was in S IS
sion at Lincoln hall Wednesday. The union
will pay those of its number affected by the
lockout at the rate of IS per week until
some settlement is made

Col SNOwDES. who was superinten-
dent Of the Philadelphia mirt for many
years, and who is recognized authority
on coinage, SAYS that ex-Congressman
Horr's declaration that there are fifty
million counterfeit silver dollars ln cir
culation is ridiculous. He says that it
would be impossible for outside parties to
coin and circulate imitation dollars in any
considerable amount without detection
The dollars could not be minted without
costly machinery of special patterns. The
old fashioned method of moulding is a
very slow one, and the coins so made
would be palpably inferior to those mint>
ed By machinery. Then, granting that the
coin could be made of standard metal
and in perfect imitation of that manu-
featured by the government. how, asks
Col Snowden, could 1t be made to cir
culatc freely, With all its appliances
the government has been able to float
only fifty million silver dollars in seven
years Evidently, counterfeiters could
not duplicate this issue secretly and by
paid agents. Again, where and when
was the necessary bullion purchased!
Col, Sncwden concludes that there are
very few counterfeit dollars in circuIs>
ton; fewer he thinks, than any previous
time in the history of the government.
/; looks, in short, as If Mr.. Horr was in
dulging himself a little in that propensi
ty for joking for which the rotound exe
member from Michigan is so famous.
