| Local Labsrerr Protesting Against Chean
Italian Labor-Bad Accident.
otten the attention OF the people is
called to the fact that laborers who
nve In this town and pay taxes are
idie or forced to go somewhere else for
WORK as gang OF Italians are kept at work
on the streets.
Those people do not live in the town,
do not buy anything and the taxpayers
are losing money by having such laborers
at WORK on the streets because they are
not capable OF doing or will not do as
much work as an ordinary man can do.
They are no benefit whatever to any
body, they herd together In novels over
the Providence line, walk out here every
morning, manage to put in their hours
and go homo again at night.
Even IL they did live here and done
their trading, 1t is question whether
II Is benefit to the people and town or
not. or course they work for less pay,
but even II they do they get more than
they are worth.
The money that they get is the tax
payers money; 1t is being used to,make
improvements In the town and when
there is any OF that money to be spent on
any improvements to be made the men
who live In the town should be given the
preference and paid fair wages.
The Republicans started In with their
year OF misrule by cutting down the pay
OF all laborers Some of the men would
not work at the reduced rate and went
elsewhere for employment and there
the town fathers who always claim to
| look after the interests of the people
went and got gang of laborers, some of
them half grown boys, and brought them
here to do the work that by all that is fair
and just belongs to the men of this town
and for which they should receive fair
wages.
Go anywhere, wherever any work is
| being done by the town, and all that can
| he heard is the jabber of the gang whom
| the boss has to stand over them to keep
them from becoming ossifed.
They are the kind of men that cannot
be trusted to do any work unless they are
watched and then they cannot do as much
| or as good work as men that can be hired
right here In the town and who want
work.
What does all this hypocritical talk
about giving the people OF the town or
the Industries of the town the preference,
amount tor Let anyone take a walk along
| High street and he will readily see Just
| how much preference is given the town
| workmen.
| The voters of the town should look at
this in the right light and no matter what
party is In power demand what is fair and
just. The laborers got reasonably paid
while the Democrats were In power.
A CHASTITY Find.
About year ago there was an almost
unbearable stencil In one Of the houses
belonging to Officer Pollard on Bagley
street, and 1t was thought that it came
from the sink drain. This was repaired,
but the stencil continued. Yesterday he
went to the house again and found that
the family residing in the lower tenement
had taken up some OF the boards in the
cellar, intending to put down some new
ones. The man had found a sort of
skeleton OF foetus and had thrown it in
the privy vault. Medical Examiner Kelli-
her OF Pawtucket was notified.
| A Bad Accident.
| Yesterday RIM. Burns of Crane q Burns,
undertakers, was out riding with a friend
who is a stranger here showing him the
sights. He drove up to Stump Hill and
when he was coming back down
Reservoir avenue the wagon ran into the
horses heels, the hold back straps being
too long. The horse which is spirited
animal began to kick and twisted around
quickly to one side, throwing out the two
men.
The horse got away and jumped over a
stonewall at the side of the road, smash
ing the wagon badly. The animal was
caught and was uninjured. Mr.. Burns
was somewhat bruised but his companion
escaped injury. /.
Resurrection.
| Some OF those who write for newspapers
from this place are beginning to resurrect
the same old chestnut that was sprung so
many times last year, the "Uncas Club"
something that never and does not exist.
1t is tiresome to read such stuff and there
Is no room for such an organization and
| IL there was there is no use for 1t.
| Central Street.
| II would puzzle anyone to tell how the
work is being done on Central street.
| The street is now blocked up in two
places when there Is no need of it.
| Even II there was, Saturday is a tad day
| to close tho street.
| Work was irst begun widening the
street at the Mill street corner.
This was partly finished and all the
store doorways were bloc ked up with dirt
and stone, when the gang of laborers was
taken away and put at work on the other
end In front of the Fales estate.
The people on the lower end of the street
are entitled to as much consideration as
Mr.. Fales, and the job should be finished
where II was begun.
| Surveyor Patt has charge Of the work.
This morning the grocers on the street
could not get to there stores with a.team,
and the street looks as though there had
been q cyclone or earthquake.
