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

One hundred and ffty-nine compositors
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 rs to
40 per cent.
The papers affected by the strike were
the Brooklyn Citizen, Brooklyn Stand
ard-Union 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 intimation of trouble until they
arrived at their offices at 5 o'clock this
morning and found their composing
rooms abandoned.
Publisher Bridgman. Of the Standard
Union, when seen by an Evening

CARPENTERS SEEKA COMBINE
May Try to Force Other Trades
into Submission.
Leaders Are Attempting to Effect a
Reconciliation.

Labor's fight against labor, which has
long been brewing In this city, and
which was openly declared yesterday by
the proclamation Of n strike by the
Board of Walking Delegates Of the local
trades unions against the Brotherhood
of Carpenters, seems very remote from
amicable settlement to-day.
The Brotherhood of Carpenters. which
Is the most powerful Union in the
city, and numbers 600 men, is said
to hint at organizing a combination
with the Steamfitters and Elevator
Constructors unions, which shall COM
pei! the other thirty-three trades In
the city to quit their present affiliations
ana mock under the new standard.
The Board of Walking Delegates met
again this morning at Fernando's Hall,
tifty-iifth street, near Third venue. to
receive reports of committees and dis
cuss the proposition OF the Operative
and Ornamental Plasterers' Jnion for
the bringing about of a reconciliation
Of the contending forces.
Henry II. T%renor. General Treasurer.
and I. J. Mcclure. General Secretary, Of
the United Brotherhood OF Carpenters
and J%oiners, arrived in this city yester-
DAY, and after investigating the causes
that led to the strike against the mem
bers OF their organization came to the
conclusion that the carpenters were JUS
titled In refusing to obey the order of the
Board of Walking Delegates to strike
against the steamftters. and that con-
sequently the strike against the carpen-
tiers was unjustiiiable. as there was no
principle involved. but only IA fight
among competing organizations.
Messrs. Trenor and Mcclure will pro-
pose a conference of all unions engaged
In the present struggle. 1t will also be
proposed that In the future no steps be
taken by local boards against unions
affiliated with National organizations.
unless the officers OF the latter have
been consulted.
At the meeting OF the Board last night
the delegates received and read n letter
from Edwar b. Cooper, President of the
Mutual Reserve Fund Association, pro-
posing a conference with representatives
of the Board. This was accepted.
Tomorrow the Central Labor Union
will meet at Clarendon Hall and will dis
cuss the action OF the Board of Delegates
In declaring the strike against the Broth
crhood OF Carpenters.
The Board OF Walking Delegates is
vested with general power to transact
all business for the trades, but their
action is renewable by the Central
Union, which Is a convention acting d.
rectly under orders from each OF the
trades.

out of the 1000 in New Utrecht about
] 900 are corner lamps. One thousand at
Sll.l0 would cost sll 100. The other 5000
lamps at SOL each would cost $50, 800, 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 Sal 400. Here
is a shortage of nearly $780, 900.
Who got this money?
The gas company, under its contract,
places all lamp-posts in position free of
charge, so there emains nothing for the
town to pay except the stated price for
each lamp and post, and the annual ex-
penditure OF SOS 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.
