| Coiored Men Leaving.
For sometime past this village has had
| Us regular population increased by
number of colored men who were en-
gagged by the National Construction Com
panv in making the immense Central
avenue sewer. These men have been
good citizens and now but few Of the
large number remain.
"The cause OF 80 many going away, said
one OF them today" Is that there has been
q strike at No l shaft, and as we could
not get decent days pay We are going
to quit. The No. l shaft Is the most un-
comfortable place to work, as the water
is continually pouring down upon US al
the time while at work, and 1t Is necessary
to wear a rubber suit. We have been
getting f2a day for ten hours, and We
asked $225 for eight hours or f250 for ten
hours, and also a dry house TO change in.
They refused to raise the pay and we
stopped work. They paid off Tuesday,
and most of the men have already gone"
The leaving OF the men will take a good
sized sum OF money from the place week
ly. II 10 said that no others have been
secured to fiji the places.
Turned or the Gas.
Keeper Costigan, IN charge Of the Bon
Marche Clothing House, has had several
funny experiences within the past few
days, and yesterday added another to the
long list. The gas company shut of the
gas and thee vas no steam heat, which
placed him n al uncomfortable position.
He purchased lamp and oil and held
forth as usual. II is thought that before
long a settle nent will oc made and the
store be opened.
