The weekly examiner., 1891-08-01

up all over the unorganized districts of the Western and Southern stat es, and some in the Middle ste tes and even in New Eng land.
 Our Prohibition neighbor, the Home, has this in reference to the cutler's strike in Meriden: sThe men of the grinding and finishing department at Miller Bros. cut lery shop, are out on strike. They left because green help was imported and brought into the shop to learn tho business. The twenty odd men who are out are skilled workmen, and according to reports they feel that the green hands were inn ported to take their places soon as expe- dient The claim is made that there are men working in this shop who cannot aver age dollar day for the entire year. And yet the cutlery business is 8 highly pro- tected ssinfant industry" and Secretary Rockwell of this particular company spends great part of his time in Washing ton striving for still higher tariff in the interest of the aoorksngnsen!
 
 Comptroller Staub with the Grand Army and soldier vote the next time he runs, for refusing his endorsement to the payment of the funeral bill of expenses of soldier Whelahan of New Haven, who claimed to be an orderly of Gen. Grant. They say this act of the Democratic reca lcitrant off, cial necessitates the burial of the soldier in Potter's field. And the Democratic papers may retort, "Why can't the governor pro vide for the payment of this bill as he has for all the others refused the endorsement of the comptroller, if he and his friends are so patriotically interested in the final disposition of the remains of one of the saviors of the country" Iris all "bun- combe,n , gentlemen; ;and there are are few at least of the old soldiers that know it.
 Three conductors were discharged on the Wethersfeld avenue horse railroad line this week for Knocking down." one of whom had been in the employ of the company for 15 years. "Spotters" were put on the track. The pay of the conductors and drivers is about $9 per week for 12 or 13 hours day. Almost any kind of a political job brings 5000 at the least, figureheads from $3, 900 to $5, 900; and the and driver will vote for no other man than the politician and figure head,-in order that he may be ever open to the temptation of taking illegally that which should belong to him by right. And there seems to be no way to reach the be- nighted to get an idea into their heads that might help them to see their folly and change their actions. They "have no use" for anything like THE EXAMINER. It doesn't give them enough of the gossip, the ball games, the horse races, nor notice the daily arrests of the bummers, and other things of such signal importance
 The newly formed clerks association are said to bevery mad at Mulcahy the 'tKlo- thier.'' He is the only one in the line re- fusing to sign for the early closing move ments. s.during the warm weather. Even the to have signed the very benefcient docu- ment. We presume the reason for Mr. Mulcahy's objection is that the most of his trade comes during the evening hours. It seems mean, 'tis true, that one man should stand in the way of such a worthy pro- ject. But the clerks cannot consistent ly blame MT. Mulcahy. They no doubt, are all believers in the doctrine of indivi- dualism, and as such, should find no fault at it's practice by any one. MT. Mulcahy is looking out for his own special interests the same as they are for theirs. They must blame the system, not the individual who works up to it-and then work to change it for a better one where the inter- est of one will not be in conflict with that of all the others.
