CENTRAL TRADES ASSEMBLY.
The Fight of the Coach Drivers Ap-
pr0ved-Kelly's Ten-Hour Surface
Railroad Bill End orsed.

Railroad Bill Endorsed.
The Central Trades Assembly took up
the union coach drivers trouble with
some members of the Undertakers' Asso.
citation and thoroughly discussed it last
night. Joseph Fullem, of the Hudson
County Association of Surface Railroad
Employees, who is a member of the Arbi-
tration Committee which succeeded in
prevailing upon Undertaken Boylan to
live up to his agreement with the Coach
Drivers Union, was elected chairman for
the session.
In tile course of a lengthy discussion it
was demonstrated hat the Coach Drivers
had succeeded, with the assistance of
other labor organizations, in checking
what appeared TO them another effort on
the part of the Undeftakers' Association
to break up the drivers union. Under
taker Coyle was the single representative
oil the kicking undeftaksrs at the pres
ent time who was not willing to abide by
his agreement with the union. but the
coach drivers are confident that he will
yield.
"The agreement of the Coach Drivers
Union" said a member of it last night,
with each individual undertaken was
that he would employ none but union
help IN his business. We insisted on this
as protection to scale of wages and
hours of labor, and we think we had as
much right to demand that all help be-
long to u union as the Undertakers'
Association had in compelling all under
takers in the county to join their organi-
cation. Nj. Coyle signed our agreement
last year, but is now violating its terms
by employing four non-union men. He
says they are apprentices, but we claim
thai these men, who are all owe twenty
one yeas of age, should not be employed
at seven or eight dollars a week when
Mr.. Coyle agreed with the union TO pay
twelve dollars"
A resolution calling upon all labor or
CARNATIONS to back up the Coach Drivers
Union by ever possible means, especially
remembering those undertakers who per-
sisted in hght1ng union labor, was unani-
mously passed by the Assembly.
A copy Of Assemblyman Kelly's ten
hour bill for surface railroads was read
and endorsed, and it was further recon-
mended that all organizations send petit
tions to the Legislature urging its pass
age.

PROPERTY W IRIS DISAGREE.
Linden Avenue Sewer is a Bone of Cor
tention in G~reenville.

Linden Avenue Sewer is a Bone of Con-
tention in G~reenvilie.
The improving and paving Of Linden
avenue from Bergen avenue to the Central
Railroad bridge, which was to have been
commenced this week, has been postponed
for the time being owing to the opposi-
ton Of several of the leading property
owners.
The avenue in question is one of the
finest and most popular in Greenville, but
it sorely needs grading. paving and inn
proving in other respects.
Reuben Simpson and others drew up a
petition requesting the improvement.
Everything went smoothly at first and
with few exception, all the property
owners signed the petition, knowing at
the time, OF course, that they were being
PROFESSIONALLY assessed for the improve
ment. The few exceptions. however
have caused all the trouble. They claim
that the improvement is needless, and
have ~1haugurated q strong opposition to
the work. With DR.. Albert Ligiiot at the
head, q second paper has been drawn up.
requesting the Street and Water Com
mlssioners not to burden the property
owners with further assessments, m
protesting vigorously against the action
or the S1gners of the first petition.
AT the request Of several property
owners" said Mr.. Simpson last evening.
II had the petition drawn up. Among
those who signed it were T.. E. FreeI,
Jacob Kiefer, G. Schnolze, Michael
Schultz, Sr., E. Edinger, H. Noble, Nj.
Bamber, e. Genuers, myself and others,
representing almost one half of the prop
erty on the road. Charles Stooeken,
who owns considerable property
on the avenue, refused to
sign, but he promised me that he would
not oppose. | have learned, however,
that he has Joined with DR.. Lignot in the
remonstrance, as have several others
who previously signified their willing
ness to have the improvement brought
about. The petition / got up was put
before the Street and Water Commission
ers. They agreed to make the improve
ments and advertised for bids and remon-
%strances. The remonstrance referred to
was then made and the Commissioners
set the hearing down for March 3.
The whole trouble lies in the fact that
a mistake was made in making the pre-
iiminary estimated assessment. 1t was
figured at SS2 per lot. Of course this
would be high. but on looking into the
matter we find the assessment per lot
would really amount to not more than
$5l. making quite a difference"

LIKELY A SUICIDE.

When He Was Found Drowned.

John King Had just Lost a Situation
When He Was Found Drowned.
There is every reason to believe that
John King, whose drowned body was re-
covered from the canal on Wednesday
morning, committed suicide because of
domestic discords. Until a week or so
ago King lived at No. 419 Avenue ID, Bay
onne. He was employed in the Tidewa-
ter Oil C~ompany's establishment at Con-
stable Hook, ard he worked steadily,
making good wages. Three weeks ago
about one hundred of the refinery's m
ployes were thrown out of work, and
King was among the victims. Being un-
able to find work in Bayonne, he moved
to this city with his second wife. It is al
legged that the woman made life some
what miserable for King. Kings first
wife bore him nine children, all OF whom
are said to be living.
