LABOR ITEMS.
Strikers Claim to Have Ten of
the New Arrivals.

The importation of non-union molders
reached this city yesterday morning about
O'Clock, and the race their manager had
in bringing them here was exciting to the
last degree and full of adventure. Thirty
six of them left Philadelphia one week ago
last Thursday, en- route for this city, via
the Southern route. One of these men was
union m0lder, who went from the San
Francisco union to the national conyen-
ton, and then hired out as a non-union
molder. This was part of the unions
plan to defeat the foundrymen, and they
feel gratifed with the result.
Out of the thirty-SiX men who started,
nine deserted before reaching New Orleans,
and in Arizona one or two more were left
because it was discovered that they were
not molders, but had hired themselves out
simply to secure passage to the Pacific
Coast. Two of the latter were printers.
On Monday afternoon at o'clock special
train with the twenty-three remaining men
passed Mojave. and they arrived at Pert
Costa at 4 o'clock yesterday morning The
foundrymen had chartered two tugs on the
afternoon previous to meet them, and
knowing this to be the plan, the molders
also chartered tug for the same purpose,
and the arrangement was to be there when
the newcomers were landed. They were
little late, however, and before they could
come ashore the passengers of the special
had been shipped on the Sea Queen and
started for the city.
She first landed at North Beach, where
seven men were taken off for the Risdon.
then she went TO the sea-wall and landed
five more for the City Works, and the re-
mainder of the list were taken to the Union.
Out of the twenty-three who arrived the
molders claim to have ten, eight OF them
molders and the other two seamen. 1t was
stated at the molders' headquarters last
nigh. that one of the new men at the City
Foundry not being mOlder has been put
at labor, and three of those at the Union
have been treated likewise. The eight
molders captured by the union will return
East to-day.
The striking molders received $3.50 from
the Gold Hill molders yesterday.

PRIZE BABIES.
0ne-Year-Old Jumbo and Wee Mite
of Less Than Three Pounds.
Gil in,

one-Year-Old Jumbo and Wee Mite
of Less Than Three Pounds.
There was a strange sight in Fifth
street store recently.
A crowd of women, each with babe in
arms, had taken possession of the place.
The mothers were chatting and discussing
the merits of their respective offspring,
while the latter were cooling or crying. as
the mood struck them.
A month ago firm on West Fifth street
offered three prizes. One was for the hea-
West. one for the ligbtest and the third for
the babe nearest the average weight. Each
of the winners was to receive $50 carriage.
The only conditions were that the babes
should not be over year old and should be
weighed in the front window of the estab-
lishment during July. The names Of the
winners were to be announced at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and so the mothers
had brought their infants to learn the re-
suit. The little contestants were tuckered
out in their best and made a perfect Babel
out of the place. There were babes of all
sizes and strength of lung. During the
month 3S2 OF the little ones had been
weighed in the scales.
When Elmo Mablekamp's name was
called a small, neatly dressed woman
struggled up with miniature Jumbo.
Elmo is a strapping boy, II months old, and
is the heir of John Mablekamp of $50 Barr
street. He weighed thirty pounds ten
ounces and had been awarded the prize as
the heaviest baby. He reached out for the
carriage and might have done it some harm
had it not been removed from his grasp.
Mrs. NJ. Z. Holleman Of Mount Washing
ton was next called to the front and
brought with her mass of linen, in the
CENTER of which could be seen the face of Il
tiny cherub. The babe was weeks old,
and, with clothes and all, weighed just two
pounds and eleven ounces. 1t was a we'll
disposed mite, for it never whimpered
when the crowd gathered around to catch
glance or chuck it under its wet chin. Miss
Holleman had won the buggy as the light
est babe. Side by side, the two winners
presented sharp contrast.
The average weight of the 382 babies was
seventeen pounds eleven ounces, and the
third prize was given to Miss Maria Wise,
IL months old, OF II Coleman street. who
tipped the beam at exactly that notch.
There were many disappointed mothers.
but the babies did not seem to care. Nice
souvenirs were distributed among those
who had failed to get prize.-Cincinnati
