cUsToM-HoUsE employees STRIKE.
A hundred and twelve employees of the
New York custom-ho went on strike
this morning Their duties consist priIci-
pally in handling packages from abroad and
loading and unloading them upon the carts
of Contractor Simon Hess. They say that
their contract with the Department calls for
eight hours day work from them, and that by
forcing them TO work longer the government
violates the eight-hOur law. That applies to
all Federal employees and that the whole trou-
BILE is caused by an effort of an outside con-
tractor TO get control of the work for the pur-
pose of putting Italian laborers in tbeirplaces.
The strikers are all Republicans. but they are
most bitter in their talk against the Govern
ment this morning.
