There IRE now $4,000 men in New York
clty's ranks Of organized labor who are out OF
work. This Is an unusual number. even Tor
this season Of tho year. Taking into account
the laborers who are not organised and IN.
Guiding the rest Of the State. the number OF
unemployed in this State at this time may DO
estimated at $4,000. and the fact ia undeniable
that every one of them would now be employed
at remuneratlve wages II the promises OF
Plat, Fassett 4 90. had been kept and tho
Worlds Fair had been given to New York.
1t was In tho building trades especially that
the disappointment was most keenly felt The
winter months are always the hardest dme OF
the year for men employed In these trades.
and 1t was most gratifying announcement to
them that the opposition Of Plat. Fassett q
Co. had been withdrawn. and that there was
prospect Of remunerattve work for year and
ahali or two years. When. therefore. the news
came that Plat, Fassett 90. had changed
their minds and concluded to send the Fair to
Chicago 70 boom the real estate Of Platt's
henchmen wall Of indignation went up from
the thousands OF workmon whose hopes were
thus destroyed.
Now that the time has come for Plat, Fas-
set 4 Co. to be brought to account for this
heartless treatment OF the working men Of
New York. the attitude OF these 5000 unem-
ployed workmen bids fair to verify the predic-
ton OF Mr.. Depew that the mon who were re-
sponsible for keeping the Fair away from New
York would be showed under by 100000 ma
jority. 1t Is true that the unemployed men are
told that there Ia plenty OF work In Chicago.
but they are mostly men Of familea They
represent about 15O. O0O mouths to efed They
