WANT THEIR MONEY
SUB-CONTRACTORS OK TIE CUSTOM HOUSE
HEARD FROM.
Claims Asgrsgating Tw1 Or Thee Tallsaai Dollars
Awaiting Setilsmeut-Aa Inspector Looked
For To-Day.

Some of the contractors on the work done
during the past year at the custom house
and postoffice, under the contract for
repairs and improvements awarded the
firm of McCarty Il Baldwin, Of Washing
ton. ID. c.. by the Treasury Department,
have been a little uneasy, since the compile
ton of the work, regarding their pay for
materials and labor used in and about the
building, and yesterday they took advant-
age Of Mr.. McCarty's presence in the city
10 make some earnest enquiries rs to when
the money owing would probably DE forth
coming. Among those to whom money is due
are J. \. Holiday, carpenter work and mill
supplies, the amount of the claim being
$50: Moore X Shook. painting. 300; Will
bur Jacobs, brick work and stone setting,
S73l, and others. and ii is alleged that the
understanding when the work was sub-let
was that the payments were to be made
monthly. II is further asserted that no
payments whatever has as yet been made,
and there appears 10 be good deal of un-
certainty as TO when the money will be
forthcoming.
tits understood that an inspector from
the Office of the Supervising Architect of
the Treasury Department will be here TO-
day or tomorrow, and from that fact, taken
in connection with the presence of Mr.. Nc
Carly in the city, it is surmised by some
that at least part OF the money due from
the government on the contract has not
been paid over 10 the firm, and if so, it may
account for the non-payment of the sub
contractors.
\ day or two will probably throw good
deal more light on a matter which is inter
esting 70 quite number of people.

north side Of the building, retired about )
o'clock, leaving a lamp burning on the
table, close TO an open window. Inc

lamp TO explode, the burning oil setting
fire to the carpet and the bed clothing
When Coyle awoke he was surrounded
bv fire and the room was filled with
smoke, but he had presence Of mind
enough TO seize the remains OF the lamp
and dash it out Of the window, and then
turned his attention to fighting the fire IN
the room. The attention Of numerous pc
destrians was attracted TO the fire, and sew
eral gentlemen ran into the house, one OF
them breaking the door open and aiding IN
putting out the fire, while Coyle was taken
out of the room and placed in the hall. lie
was bleeding from n cut on one OF his
hands, and his right thlgh was also cut anu
burned a physician was sent for, and the
patrol wagon ordered, as Coyle expressed
a desire to 90 10 the Hospital, but by the
time the wagon came il was ascertained
that his wounds were not serious, and the
wagon was sent TO the stable again. n
quilt, the carpet of the room and a feather
bed were all considerably damaged by the
fire
In responding to the alarm one OF the
Vigllant horses became exhausted, and fell
in front OF the Opera House, creating some
little additional excitement for few min
uteS.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
BETWEEN FIFTY AND SIXTY EMPLOYEES OF

Quit Work Because Of the Presence Of Two Non
Union Msn-A Statement Of the Trouble
From All Interested Parties.

About noon, yesterday, the union men
employed at the Nail City Lantern Com

between fifty and sixty, quit work, and I'M

matter will be adjusted by arbitration, and
il is hoped a result will be reached salts
factory to all concerned
One of the striking workmen SAID
THE trouble grew out OF the employ
ment by the company of two non-unlon men,
one driver and the other porter. Ihey
were handling the goods made by the union
men. and when work with the wagon was
slack. and there was plenty to do inside,
they helped work in the building. We
have been trying to get them TO Join the
union. but they wouldn't do it, and after
exhausing every means in our power we
struck, The strike was ordered by the
shop committee, and all the union men are
out, or will be this evening. ! suppose
there are between fifty and sixty strikers.
At the office of the firm, the following
statement was made:
THE strike was unexpected by US. II
appears that there has been some trouble
brewing between the two non-union men
and the union employees, and the fore
man reports that an effort was being made
to have the two men join the union, but we
were not looking for a strike, and will have
to close down, or nearly so, right in our
busy season. The trouble may be settled,
but in what manner or how soon, it is hard
TO say"
Thctwo non-union men We're seen, and
they said: -
I'VE have been intending to join union,
but not the union of Lantern Workers, and
this fact seems 20 us TO be at the bottom of
the trouble. We have been approached by
some Of the men, and asked TO join the
union, but refused, and instead of giving
US Il chance 10 join the Warehousemens or
ganization, or some other appropriate body,
they struck about noon. The first floor
men, at the presses, went out first and that
threw the fourth floor men out Of work,
and they had TO follow. We have been
doing the fair thing, and there would have
been no cause for complaint had they let
us alone -
