THE TROLLEY IN H0BOKEN
President Dodd Refused to Discuss
the Action of the C0uncilmen.

There is rnuch indignant comment
heard in Hoboken over the attempt of
the Council to prevent the introduction
of electricity on the elevated road. The
company has been busy at work erecting
poles between the tracks on its elevated
structure for weeks past and the line of
poles is almost complete.
There was no objection moved to the
introduction of electricity on the Jersey
City end of the elevated, but when the
company began preparations to do away
with the cable, and the Roboken fathers
heard of it, the latter passed the
resolution as related in last
nights JERSEY CITY NEWS, to have
the company enjoined. The reasons
given for passage Of the resolution are
few.
Councilman Kelly, who introduced the
resolution, said the poles were being
erected over city property just as much as
if they had been put up on the ground.
He added that the company
had not received permission TO use
electricity as motive power.
These are the only reasons given for
the action of the council. I asked Cor
poration Attorney Minturn this morning
If the franchise of the elevated railroad
specified the motive power to be used.
He said it did not, but the company was
acting under a general law passed three
years ago by which they were allowed to
use their discretion In the selection Of
motive power. He also said that he did
not know if the company couId be en-
joined from putting up the poles, but
was looking up the subjects.
President Dodd this morning declined
firmly to have anything to say on the
subject, He said he must refuse to talk
about the matter until he hau an oppor.
tunity of consulting with the company g
counsel. The work noticed Is still going
on and will proceed until the Injunction,
if any is issued, is served.

INCREASING VALUATIONS.
Hugh Dugan's Personal and Owen
Maguire's Real Property
Sized Up.

The Board of Com misSioners of Appeal
met this morning to afford County Collec-
tor Dugan and Owen Mcguire an oppor-
tunity to show why they should not be
assessed at greater values than the Tax
Assessors had seen fit to impose. Cor
poration Counsel Edwards was expecte d
to be present. but owing to
the argument of the great South
Cove case in Trenton before the
Court of Errors and Appe ais, he was
absent. Corporation Attorney Hudspeth
appeared for him as advisor to the
Board. Tax Commissioner Priqge was
the only member of the Tax Board on
hand and Collector Dugan was absent.
Captain Jack Graham, who served the
subpPnas, acted as Sergeant-at-armS and
ushered in Mr.. Owen Mcguire.
Before entering into the details of his
powers the Board had to increase valua-
tions. The Senator replied that
in his opinion the Commission
ers had the same rights the Asses
sors had. Referring to the absence
of Collector Dugan, MIR Hndspeth said
that if he had been cited to appear and
failed to do SO, the Board had authority
to place a valuation upon Mr. Dugan's
property, which the possession of facts in
the hands of the Commissioners war
ranted.
Owen Mcguire of No. sl9 Newark ave-
nue. had been assessed So. 600 by Tax Com
missioner Prigge for 1891. and $500 had
beeu deducted because of the Firemen's
Exemption act making his total assess
meut but 800 on a lot more than 200
feet long and 60 feet wide at one end and
25 feet front on Newark avenue.
Facing Newark avenue on the lot is
three story frame house, and at the rear
is two story frame dwelling. Mcguire
said he did not know the value Of the
property but admitted that Anton Brown,
Deighbor, had offered him Sc, 900 for it
and the offer had been refused.
Tax Commissioner Prigge said she did
not think the property had been assessed
at proper value in 1891, and confessed
that he had made an error. He said this
year it was increased $1,000. He could
not explain the cause of the error. The
Com missioners of Appeals decided to in
crease the value TO 81. 600, and will notify
the assessors of that conclusion.
From the evidence in possession of the
Board it was learned that Hugh Dugan
had not been assessed nsthing for his
pc rsonal property at No. 488 Gran street.
feed and hay warehouse, aud the Board
Of Appeals ordered that the Tax Commits
81 oners assess it at 50, 500 for 1891 taxes.

CUTTING THE SCALE.
The Carnegie Managers Want
Lower Pay and Midwinter
Readjustment.

PITTsBURG. Pa, July l, 1892. One ray
of hope was received last night, and the
Homestead affair may yet be settled.
Andrew Carnegie's upper mills on Thir-
ty-third street yesterday signed the Anal
gamated scale.
This mill employs 1000 men, and is in
the great Carnegie trust which goes into
effect today.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July :, 1se2.-Thus
far everything is quiet here, outside OF
the occasional running out of town of
some stranger suspected of being spy,
or nOn-union workman.
The unexpected move of the firm We'd
nesday night in shutting down the Car
nege mills rather pleases the men. Had
the latter struck, the firm might have
been justified in running in non-unfon
workmen, but since the men have been
locked out, they are placed on the de-
fensiVe. and of course are all the more
rabid.
Yesterday morning tremendous mass
meeting was held, attended by few hun
dred Amalgamated men directly inter-
ested, aud 1000 other workmeu who
sympathize with the organization Ed
ward Richards was made chairman of
the meeting, and w. L. McConegly secre-
tary The former said that the objects
of the gathering were simply to discuss
the present and prepare for the future.

How the Manager StroVe TO Force
Down Wages-A Little
Ray of Light.

P1TTsBURG, July 1, 1892. This morning.
July l, fully 10000 workmen throughout
this country are idle. Many thousands
will be idle because of strikes and because
of the annual shutdown.
The workm en- affected this year are
numbered among the iron and steel and
glass trsternities. The Amalganated
iron and steel scale so far has been
signed by but few firms. These firms
will continue work, but the hundreds
that have not yet signed will shut down.
In addition to this, many that have
signed the Amalgamated scale, and many
that have not signed, have decided to
shut down for two weeks, at least. on the
pretence of beginning work on summer
repairs.
Heretofore the Amalgamated Assecia-
tion has decided when such shutdown for
repairs shall take place. This year the
manufacturers have taken the matter in
hand, and decided to begin the annual
shut down tomorrow. Many firms, of
course, will work out present orders and
the effect may not be immediate, but that
$50, 600 workmen quit work tomorrow Will
be proven by the events of the next two
weeks.
TIN PLATE PEOPLE SIGNED.
In this grand shutdown, lockout or
strike. as the case may be with each or
any individual firms, the sheet and tin
plate manufacturers must not he con-
sidered.
The re are from twenty-five to thirty of
the firms in the couHtry and all have
signed the scale, and for the tin plate in
dustry 5000 10 $500 Amalganlated men
are bound to work for year. Many of
these mills have pudding furnaces at
tached and these furnaces have agreed to
the So. so amalgamated scale for boiling.
Repairs are necessary, however, even in
these mills, it is claimed, and many will
join in the shutdown tomorrow.
GLASS TOO.
In addition to the hundred odd thou
sand iron and steel workers. puddlers.
mechanics. railroaders and laborers who
quit work today through hard necessity.
nearly 1000 glass workers will be idle.
These glass workers have either been
given notice to quit until repairs are
made and other agreements have been
made, or they have quit of their own
accord.
The annual summer lethargy is upon
them. They are away for fishing or
hunting trips, or they have received for
NAL notice from flint glass manufacturers
and officials of the United States Glass
Trust that their positions are vacant, and
they must apply for another years work
under another years scale.
What all this means in the glass world
can only be proven by time. The manu-
facturers have made an innovation in
their summarily notifying their men of
discharge. 1t may be only an earlier an
fual shutdown for the usual repairs and
| it may mean that the men must ask for
unemployment at less wages.
