A communication from one of the for

Charles F. Brown & Co., informs THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS that the employees did
not go out on strike. but that they were
crowded out.
The men, it is claimed, were given
twenty-four hours notice that their wages
were to be reduced one-half without rea-
son being assigned for it. The firm said
they would hire boys to make the hoops
for the men at forty cents per 1000. This
the men claimed could not be done, for it
requires very expert hand to do it.
The boys refused to do the work and
the men were therefore unable to keep at
their benches for want of material and
were compelled to lay off two days.
The writer stated this was what the
firm wanted for they had determined to
hire Hungarian Labor The regular men
were ordered out of the boarding house
owned by the company and it was given
over to the Hungarians, who began work
for their keep and 50 a week while learn
their trade.
The men had no homes and are now
living in an old COW shed near the County

wages earned by the regular men had
been but So week, and thai being unable
to save anything from so small an amount
they were in a helpless condition.

THE NEW JERSEY TITLE COMP ANY.

It Has More Thought About Its New
Building than About Consolidation.
The Evening Journal produced SEN
sation last evening that made everybody
laugh, in its announcement that pro-
ject is on foot for the consolida-
tion of the New Jersey Title
Guarantee and Trust company with
the company recently started by
the lawyers. No such consolidation is
thought of. But smaller guarantee
company, that started in advance of the
Lawyers Company, became anxious to
consolidate with the Lawyers Company,
and the two may merge.
The New Jersey Title Guarantee and
Trust Company is still endcavoring to
obtain possession Of the property, No. SO
Montgomery street, before May l, in
order to begin work upon it's new build
ing. This building willoccupy the entire
loJ and will be model of architectural
beauty. The basement will be devoted to
safe deposits and trust business of the
company. and will contain fire and bur-
giar proof vaults, with retiring rooms,
strong boxes, storage rooms and all the
latest and most improved safety deposit
vault accessories.
On the floor above will be the office OF
the title guarantee branch of the busi-
ness. while the other floors will be de-
voted to the records aud plant of the COM
pany.
The officers of the company claim that
an erroneous impression of the purposes
for which the company was formed pre-
walls among the lawyers. Instead of be-
ing organized to injure the lawyers or their
business the company was organized to
protect it. The New York Title Com
pany, when it had finished its plant in
New York, Kings and Westchester coun-
ties, came over to Hudson county and was
preparing to make similar planr of this
county. A few well known lawyers became
aware of the project, and in order to keep
out the New York company, whose pres
ence meant an injury to every lawyer in
the county, tooks steps to organize the
New Jersey company.
They secured charter which conters
upon them exceptionally favorable privi.
leges and invited every lawyer and real
estate agent in the city to join with them
in forming the company.
In the schedule of prices the New Jer-
sey Title Guarantee and Trust Company
has always treated the lawyers of the
county with liberality.
For example it will furnish them for
$12 chain of title TO any piece of land in
Hudson county from Colonial days, and
will furnish for $6 all the necessary in
formation concerning title, but without
