HIcHRINDERS AT WORK.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 27.-Two men
were killed in Chinatown Wednesday
night by highbindsrs. ING Hing was
waylaid and shot by three men just as he
was entering the Chinese theater. The
doctors say he can not survive. The po-
lice have identified Mok Lem as one of the
assailants, and say this attack was due to
a recent assault on Lem in which Hing
was implicated. Lem escaped injury but
his clothes were full of bullet holes. The
other crime was the murder of Tick Ho
Hong. Tick had the bad taste to dun a
Chinaman who owed him. The debtor re-
fused to pay and hired highbinders to
slaughter Tick, and the work was done in
thorough style, Tick being stabbed several
times, from the effects of which he died
early Yesterday morning.

From those who its merits have tried,
And perhaps in the interim died:
From prominent places OF view,

A GIGANTIC MOVEMENT.
Thirty Thousand Sailors and Firemen Will
Demand Increased Pay.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Sailors and
Firemen's union, which was recently or
ganized in this city by an individual sent
faom Europe for that purpose, held a meet
ing tonight in this city. The meeting
was called for the express purpose of en-
dorsing circular which is to be sent at
once to the armatime exchange and to all
the ship owners in this port demanding
that new schedule of wages paid for va
rious services shall be adopted.
The proposed rates are a
material increase in the figures
now paid and the union will ask for a
conference with committee of the ship
owners TO be held about January IA to dis
cuss the question in its varied bearings
The union now has six branches with a
membership of some 5000 men, and it was
determined to back up their demands wi h
monstrous demonstration to be held
simultaneously with the meeting of the
conference committees. In this movement
the Sailors and Firemen's union will have
the support of the several Longshoremen' IS
unions, SO that all together about sc, 0o0
men will be united. On the same
day these longshoremen will demand that
their wages be increased to 30 cents per
hour and 1T is thought by the men that
this demand will be readily acceded to. So
far as regards the Sailors and Firemen' IS
union they have little if and doubt Of their
sucdess, believing that the majority of the
ship owners will readily accede to their
demands, owing to the fact that they can
not obtain non-union crews in foreign
ports owing to the existence of similar or
ganization there of affiliated organizations.
