Bowery Tramps to Join Coxey.
NEW YORK, March 81, 1S94.-''All we
want is leader" said Jimmie Grant, we'll
known member of the hard luck army that
| has its headquarters at No. Al Bowery, to-
| day, referring TO the movement to or
ganize a Coxey band in New York.
oWere ready to go. There are two hum
dred of US here that would be glad of an
| opportunity to get out of town if we only got
| on the other side of the river A man who
claimed to represent Coxey gave us
a call last night and told US we were
likely to be called upon any time now
| to fall into line He said he was merely
waiting for the necessary stuff. and that just
as soon as it came he would get us together.
He will have no trouble in getting thou
sand men in this block to join him If he can
assure US that we wiH have place to sleep
| and something to eat"
Robert Hyde, who is manager of the
Windsor Hotel on the Bowery, believes there
| is no organized movement. If there was, he
says, he would know it. Some of the men
who stop at his place had been
asked if they were willing to join
| Coxey. The man who made these
inquiries was a stranger. He had been at
| Windsor several times within the last few
| days He didn't look, added Hyde as if he
were able to get himself out of the city.
Every tramp on the Bowery is intereste
| in the scheme, and is anxiously awaitin 3
