TYPOS WALK OUT.
Compositors Protest Against a Gut
in Their Wages.
Publishers Pleaded Poverty and
Wouldn't Yield.
Citizen, Times and Standardization
Afected-The Latter Gives In.

One hundred and fifty-nine competitors
employed by three Brooklyn newspapers
went on a general strike this morning
against what they term an organized at
tempt on the part of the Newspaper
Trust" to reduce their wages from 20 to
40 per cent
The papers affected by the strike were
the Brooklyn Citizen, Brooklyn Stand
ard u MON and the Brooklyn Times. The
publishers declare that the proposed re-
duction does not exceed 10 per cent, and
that their action was made necessary by
the general depression in business.
The newspapers proprietors say that
the strike was wholly unexpected. They
had no animation of trouble until they
arrived at their offices at o'clock this
morning and found their composing
rooms abandoned.
Publisher Bridgman. of the Standard
Union, when seen by an Evening
World" reporter this morning said:

Brooklyn. and was admitted to 81. 900 bail,
furnished by ex-Supervisor Baisley and
William Warner. OF Flatbush.
The charge against Capt Hendrcksen

OF William W. Siliman, Livingstone

NJ. J. DRuMMoND, W. V. b.
With the letters from Miner and Drum
mond in hand 1t did not take the New
utrecht citizens long to figure out the
post and lamp is sll.lO. For the other
street lamps the price quoted is SOLO.
Out of the 1000 in New Utrecht about
200 are corner lamps: One thousand al
Sl110 would cost 81 100. The other 3,0CC
lamps at Sl0.10 each would cost $50, 300, or
a grand total of Sal, 400.
But Boss Furgueson expended $4,000 OF
the taxpayers money for lamp posts
which can be purchased for s4l, 400. Here
Is a shortage of nearly $4,000
Who got this money?
The gas company, under Its contract,
places all lamp-posts in position free OF
charge, so there remains nothing for the
town to pay except the stated price for
each lamp and post, and the annual ex-
penditure of S2S for gas for each lamp.
Recently additional lamps have been
furnished as needed by the gas company
instead of by the contractors, the town
paying the gas people the same price as
was paid Drummond and Miner.
! The difference between the real cost of
the lamps and posts and the price actu-
ally paid by the town of New Utrecht.
Is about 81 on each lamp complete.
| Taxpayers of New Utrecht Will think
about this when they cast their ballots
at the town election on Tuesday next.
