RACE TROUBLES IN NEW YORK.
The Long shoremen at Mallory Wharf Fear
Displacemant by Negroes.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA race war of
considerable proportions has been 60
ing on at the Mallory steamship pier
daring the week. The white men
who were employed in loading and
unloading the Mallory steamships
rose up in arms az ainst the increasing
number Of negroes who were employed
TO do that work. The fight was made
not only on the score of color, but it
was alleged that the colored men
were working for less wages than the
white men. The negroes came
from Texas on the steam
ships aud are said to have
been r0ustabOuts from New Orleans
and from along the Mississippi where
they were engaged in handling cot
ton. Last week negroes came in large
numbers and the white men deciled
that they would stand it no longer.
They were receiving 80 cents an hour
and they said cOiOred men worked tor
70 cents. They began TO make it I'M
pleasant for the cOlured men in the
holds of the vessels. Several of
the negroes found bales of
cotton falling from the hooks
and came crashing down the hold
missing them. Several
fig hts also took place among the
whites and blacks. Then the white
longshoremen demanded the dis
charge of all the negroes on the pen
atty of strike. The company there.
upon discharged all the negroes, but
the whites say the company is pre-
pairing to bring negroes enough north
to take the place OF all white men.
