REAL ESTATE ACTION.
BY j. B. Tarbox ct Al. Against Sc

Suit was brought, yesterday, in the
district court, against the Security In
vestment company, by Jasper B. Tar
box, Eva Tarbox and Marion Lamprey
to quiet the title to certain property in
Florence and Rice and Irvine's addi-
tions to st. Paul. Plaintiffs allege that
defendant company's claim to certain
interests in the property is based on
a pretended sale on mythical tax
judgment in 1894, by reason of an al
legged non-payment of taxes for 1892;
that this judgment is invalid and void
because the court never acquired juris-
diction and the commissioners of Ram
sey county failed to designate an Of
fetal newspaper in which the delin-
quent tax list for 1892 should be pub
lished.

ors in the employ Of this company have
been working at small wages for many
months and that vest and pants max
erS were unable to make more than $6
to 81 per week. 1t said that the scale
it presented to Mr.. Ley to sign was
far below that received by union tall
ors elsewhere. Besides this the COM
mittee alleges that the workmen were
compelled to take jobs home or rent
a room at their own expense. 1t Is
claimed that Mr.. Ley did agree to sign
the scale several days ago, if the COM
mittee would make it to apply only to
clothes that sold in the suit for more
than 500. This proposition was not ac-
cepted, the committee says, because
nowadays not one suit in a dozen GUS
tom made sells for more than $40 and
consequently such a scale would be Of
no material benefit to the workmen.
The committee of the tailors' interna-
tional union will come to the assist
ance of the strikers, if the necessity

Manager Ley says the cause of the
strike was the refusal of the company
to accede to demand of the tailors
for increased wages. The trouble had
been brewing for several days, Man
ager Ley said yesterday, when almost
the entire force of journeymen quit
work. The men demanded an increase
of from Is to 20 per cent, Mr.. Ley says,
over the wages of $40 to SIS a week.
which they were receiving. Their rea-
sens were alleged to be the increase
in the price of commodities. The COM
pany considered the matter and, ac-
cording to Manager Ley, when the
strikers presented scale, offered to
sign it as applying to all suits or over
coats exceeding 500 in value. The men
refused to consent to this concession,
insisting that the proposed scale cover
all work, it is said, and went out on
the strike. Manager Ley says the
men will be given until noon today to
accept the conditions of the company,
when. if no agreement has been reach
ed, new men will be employed and
none of the strikers will be taken back
under any circumstances.
