CITY OF DEERlNe.
A Strike Among the Italians at Work on
the Sewer.

The work on the Deering sewer came
to standstill again yesterday. The big
pipe has advanced as far as the Portland
d Rochester crossing at Woodfords, and
there it halted yesterday. The cause
was a labor trouble. In the crew of
thirty Italians were ten who decided
that their present wages of about 81 40
day was too little and they announced
that the wages should be $500 day for
eight hours. The other twenty were
satisfied and did not wish to begin an
agitation; but the ten told them that
they would shoot them if they did not
acquiesce. So the strike began: and
there was no work yesterday. There is
considerable uncertainty as to how
much of the $1.40 cents per day the
laborer really has for himself. M.
Flanagan, the contractor, pays the men
Individually; but the ''padrones" or
Italian labor contractors, who secure the
help, have a claim on the men, and no
one knows just how much they take.

MAJOR SUSIE SWIFT.
A Fascinating Story of the Work Which
the Army Is Doing for the Submerged
Tenth the World Over-The Shelters,
Food Depots and Training Shops of
London


A very good audience gathered last
evening at City Hall to hear Major Susie
Swift, the young graduate of Vassar
College who has taken up Salvation
Army work and is now one of the ablest
and most efficient assistants of the
Booths in London. Before Major Smith
was introduced short, typical Salvation
Army service was held, many of the au-,
dience joining with enthusiasm in the
singing. Adjutant Bringle, who was
formerly Methodist minister and now
commands the district of Maine and
New Hampshire, led this service and
made most appropriate introduction of
Major Swift.
Those who did not hear this cultured
and earnest young woman last evening
missed a story that was more than in
teresuing. Many have heard in agener al
way of the social work that has becom
such feature Of philanthropic and reli-
gious effort of this day; but they have
not heard it tod in so fascinating a
manner, illustrated with so many re-
citals Of actual experiences, and narrated
with the vividness of diction that culture
and zeal united can command. Major
Swift, in pleasing, earnest voice, began
by speaking of the magnitude of the
work which she was to describe. They
have more than ITO ms titutions con-
nected with the work of the Army.
Therefore the very complexity of the

scheme which has been put in operation
by the great machine of the army in the
last 81 months, makes it very difficult to
be included in the limits of one address.
General Booth and the Salvationists aim
to put before the starving, the intemper-
ate, the man and woman who have been
convicted, the ordinary opportunities of
the cab horse. For when General Booth
looked about to find the worst treated
animal on the face of the earth he found
it in the London cab horse. Yet even
this beast had three things; food, to en-
able it to do its work; shelter,
and some one to help it up.
And there are thousands of
men and women in London who do not
have food and shelter. There are. on
the most conservative estimate, $4,000
such persons in the city Of London to-
night, and they are in the great cities of
this country also. There is one worker
in New York, who gives a breakfast every
morning to 500 members of what he calls
the tramp club, the condition of admis-
sion to the breakfast being that the men
should have tramped the streets all the
night previous.
Major Swift spoke most entertainingly
of her experience with the Army work
in London. There are several depart
ments Of it. First, they aim to succor
those who have no place to lay their
heads. One night in the autocratic West
End of London, Major Swift found a
door, shivering woman sleeping in a
doorway. She awakened her, and asked
her if she could sleep in the cold, hard
doorway. .sOh, yes, mum, could be
comfortable if | did not have to wake UP
SO often. If L could only get whole
nights rest! But I cannot sleep over Is
minutes at a time.n
How is that2" asked Major Swift
ssWhy, every 10 minutes the policeman
comes along, and it is move on and
then have to move on to the next door
way
For such women the Army have in
Whitechapel a lodging house which is do
ing much good.
Another class that is receiving particu-
lar attention is that composed of the
worthy poor, whom lack of work has
reduced to starvation. The new social
scheme of the army has this class partic-
ularly in view. although it works equally
for the outcast of every grade. A case
that Major Swift related shows this
work There was in the East End of
London poor woman with girl fifteen
years old and a boy ten years of age.
The woman could earn at match box
making only Is cents week, with which
she had to buy food, clothing and fuel
for the whole family. OF course she
could not do it. She went to the poor
authorities. They could take her and
The boy, but notthe girl. But how could
she leave the girl of fifteen to the mer
cies Of London streets? So she tried to
starve along. She took the boy out of
