PAID AND WILL RETURN TO WORK.

THE TROUBLE AMONG THE CRIMMINs woRKMEN
APPARENTLY SETTLED.
The men working on the Fourth-ave under
ground trolley line. some OF whom went out on
strike on Friday because they did not receive their
pay, were paid yesterday. and the full number Of
hands will probably be at work tomorrow. John
D. Crmmins who is the chief contractor for the
work, said yesterday that the only reason for the
strike was the utter impossibiy Of the pay clerks
to get the money the men In time He added
that he had personally supervised the sending out
of the pay yesterday. and that all the men. ex
cept a few hundred between Tenth and Seven
teenth SITS. were paid before 10 a. m Mr.. Grim
MINIS said that he walked all the way down the
line to talk to the men, and they were going back
TO work as fast as they were being paid.
Mr. Crimmns Is the supervising contractor Of
the work. He has under him the firms of Nc
Mahon Naughton & Co. and T. E. Crlmmns & Co.
The men who have struck are all In the employ
Of the latter firm. Mr.. Crimmins sent the follow
ing letter to the firms Of contractors yesterday
morning:
Gentlemen: The law requires corporation to
make weekly payments Of wages to all aborers
and mechanics While l appreciate that the law
carrying forced work Of construction. | should be
pleased 10 have you arrange 10 pay weekly There
Is no question about receiving the money weekly
If you require 1t, by the presentation of the pay
rolls
Mr. Crimmins reached Seventeenth-st and Union
Square at the workmens lunch hour He ex-
pressed surprise that the pay-wagon had not got
there, as he expected TO meet 1t and see that the
men got their wages. The workmen crowded about
him. and complained that they did have the
price OF their dinner At this Mr.. Crimmins. who
seemed TO have provided himself with coin for the
OCCASION began to throw twenty-five and fifty
cent pieces among the crowd of hungry workmen.
The scramble for the money INDUCED in by
men not employed on the road. The money
strewn about so that some men managed to get
three four OF the pieces OF silver while others
did not get q cent. Mr.. Crimmns assured all the
men that the pay-wagon would be soon on hand
and the money due TO them would be paid. His
assurance apparently satisfied the men. for they
maintained calm attitude. and no attempt at
disorder made.
True to Mr. Crimmns's promise the pay-wagon
soon appeared along the line, and received en-
Enthusiastically. Paying off began at once and with
II the strike probably ended. The WILL II Is
said go back to work on Monday.

NEIGHBoRHooD AND TOOK AWAY
LOT OF GOODS.
A daring burglary was committed yesterday morn
ing in the clothing store Of Marks e. Benson. at
No 1873 East Fourteenth-st. and about 81, 800 worth
Of clothing and mems furnishing goods were stolen.
Although the burglary Is believed to have taken
place just after midnight, the surroundings were
brilliantly lighted with numerous electric lights,
and at no time In the night or day Is the street
there without pedestrians. Notwithstanding this,
the burglars got into the place through the sky
light. which they shattered. and then reached the
floor below by means Of ladder.
The burglars selected the very best suits Of cloth
ing they could find and packed them In bundles
They broke open the private desk OF Mr.. Marks and
lieved that the bundles of clothing were taken out
Of the place by way Of the skyight and then to an
adjoining building from which the street was
reached
Mrs Wagner who lives in Thirteenth-st., direct
ly in the rear Of the store, said that just after
midnight she saw two working at the sky
light on the clothing store, and called her hus-
bands attention to them. He said that the men
were probably legtimately at work there, and
nothing more was thought about them.
Yesterday morning when Mr.. Marks reached
his store he found everything topsy-turvy. Goods
were strewn about the place where they had been
pulled from the tables and thrown on the floor He
found the desks burst open and the skylight shat
tered. He Immediately concluded that the place
had been robbed, and he went to the East Fl1th-st
saon ana D mace We're Immediately sent out
to look for the burglars, but they had not louno
a clew to work on up to late last night so far
MT Marks said that the burglars must have had
a wagon to carry the goods away In.
