ANOTHER STRIKE AT THE GLASS HOUSE
A committee OF the union miners called
at the ROOSTER Office last evening and
stated that the men working for kssley
& Brooks intended to ;Sgsin 60 out on
q strike. Their reasons for the action were
given by one OF the committee in about the
following language:
For several days past the old foreman Of
the "Glass House" bank, the one in which
We are now working, and another man who
worked while we were out on a
strike, have been working at clean
ing up the South Wheeling Bank
We had no desire to make any kick, how
ever, aud said nothing about it. Several
days later we noticed other men of the
same stripe working around the bank, but
said nothing until we ssw miners coming
out of the bank. when we came TO the con.
clusion that coal was being mined by
these men who worked in the Glass
House bank while we were out. Iester
day We saw Kssley / Brooks wagons 60 to
the bank and haul coal away; then we came
to the conclusion to kick.
I'VE approached the proprietors and
asked them what it meant and were in
formed that the bank had been leased to
these men and that they were running it
on their own hook, but the fact OF Kssley
4 Brooks wagons hauling away the coal
was not explained, and we intend quitting
work tomorrow"
After hearing the above statement a
REGISTER reporter called at Mr.. Brooks
residence, but found that gentleman out CT.
the city. he then called upon Mr.. hasley,
at his home and Intercepted him in re.
gard to the statement
Il understand there is trouble between
you and the miners again, said the report.
er. rs there any truth in the statement
Don't know much about i" answered
the gentleman.
We'll, the union miners say your South
Wheeling bank is leased to the displaced
men, which is only blind intended for
the union men. Is thsttrueT
81 don't know much about i" reiterated
Mr.. Kasley.
Did the committee OF UD:on miners call
upon you this evening" queried the re.
porter.
Yea; but l was away at the lime they
called.
Thai wa ell the satisfaction to be gotten
fem Mr.. Kssley and the reporter LETT
The miners committee also stated tnat the
men employed in the bank which furnishes !
about onethird ofthe coal for The Whitaker :

LEISURE FOR LABOR.
Workmen About TO Move for
Shorter Hours.
The City Council to be Asked to lnau-
gurate the New Order Of Things
by Adopting the Eight
Hour Rule.

The labor organizations of this city have
for some time past been earnestly consid
eripg the advisability Of restricting the
hours of toll to eight per diem, and the
matter has about reached that point when
deHbera'ion and discussion can legitimate
IL give way to dec g We acton. 10 fact, a
at p in ths direction of attaining 70: wage
workers shortening Of their hours Of
labor has already BEEN made in the action
of the bricklsyers, who have, in obedience
to an order from their National organize
ton, substituted nine hours for ten as a
day work, with corresponding. reduction
in wages from four dollars per day to three
dollars and sixty cents.
The next move in contemplation will be
the petitioning OF the City Council by the
labor organizations Of the city for the uni
verssl adoption of the eight hour system
in al works and enterprises under munici.
pal control. This step, il is claimed BY
advocates of the new dispensation, will not
only alow to the workmen some time for
recreation or social intercourse or for such
OF or purposes SO may suggest themse yea
! to the individuals co lcerned, but will neces-
ssri give employ nent to a consr6 cradle
additional numbe. Of men, thus directly
bene6tting the poorer classes OF
| the community. For Instance,
it is pointer OUT tina; at the city gas works,
where a turn now consists of twelve hours,
two turns day, there will be work for one
half more men than are now employed bY
| reason OF the substitution OF three eight
hour turns tor two of twelve hours. AT the
water works the came thing would occur,
while the force employed by the Board Of
Public Works would have to be largely
augmented to do the work now performed,
the men going to work at eight o clock and
| quitting Al five.
In conversation yesterday with number
OF Knights of Labor there was general
expression of confidence that Council
would grant the prayer of the petitions,
/ and by laying down the rule that, in mu.
nicipsl matters, eight hours should consti.
tute a days work, pave the way for the
! general adoption OF the new rule and ma
terislly aid the Efforts being made all over
the country, for the improvement and I'D.
vancement Of the lsboring classes.
Il is hoped by the local labor organiza-
tons to have the eight hour rule uuiver-
sally adopted in our manufactures aud
mills during the coming summer, and no
Efforts will be spared which may contrib
ute to the accomplishment of that end.
OF course, the restriction of TIE hours OF
labor to eight will, in most cases, carry
With it a pro rata reduction in wages, but
this the workmen are prepared TO accept,
believing the benefits sccraing from the
new system will more than compensate for
the pecuniary loss.

miles from Emporia, Kan, on the 9TH. Is. b.
Jacobs, a farmer, saw the storm coming and
gathered his wife and two young children and
his brother Charles in wagon and started to
flee, but they were overtaken by the torrent.
Mrs. Jacobs and the younger child were
drowned. At Fl. Scott on the same day q
severe storm occurred. The house occupied by
Sarah Brown, a widow, was swept about 100
yards down the stream, where il lodged among
the trees. Mrs. Brown and four children were
in at the time. The water rose rapidly around
1t to the depth Of several feet. The mother
held her little six months old infant in her
arms above water, leaving her older children
TO care for themselves. She suddenly noticed
that her ive-year-old boy was drowning, and
in attempting to save him the infant slipped
from her arms and was drowned before aid could
reach it. The remainder Of the family were
rescued. AT Springfield, Mo-, great damage was
also done. Women and children were carried on
horseback and on mems shoulders from the
lower parts of the city to places of safety. No
loss of life is reported from this point, but prop
erty to the amount OF $4,000 was swept away.

Two sailors, just arrived in San Francisco,
Cal, tell romantic story of shipwreck and
residence on a small island in the Caroline
group. They were wrecked in the vicinity OF
the Island of MOkin, which they reached with
great difficulty. To their surprise and joy
they found the spot to be inhabited. They
were treated very kindly by the people, who
extended to them every hospitality. They
were taken TO the huts OF the inhabitants and
made at home. The natives are described as
fne-lOoking people, but having very little inter
course with the outside world. After sojourn
of a year and quarter they were taken off the
island and finally brought to San Francisco by
the ship II. L. Herman.
