There IL reason to believe that a

troll squadron, of which Commodore j,

quarters probably will be iixed at New

WILL FRESHMEN JOIN?
Press Feeders Claim They, Too, VIII
BE Called Out.

BE Called Out.
The press feeders strike did not progress
to any extent yesterday, and there was no
change in the situation until near evening,
when the employing job printers had meet
ing, decided not to recognize the press feed
ers' union nor to treat with the men as an
organization. If this course is persevered in
the end of the strike Is not yet in sight.
The pressmen's union will not, SO far as
Is known at present, take any stand in the
matter They went out temporarily and
asked for instructions from headquarters.
The instruction they received sent them back
to work and the press feeders are standing
alone. 1t was given out that the pressmen
did not Join in the strike because of the fact
that the feeders did not take the usual
course agreed upon of giving thirty days no
tice of a strike. This would preclude the
necessity of the allied crafts joining and
supporting them. 1t is contended by the
press feeders that thirty days notice was not
before the chiefs they will be Joined by
others in the strike.
The action of the employees in refusing to
recognize the union makes it clear that the
job printers are going to fight the strikers.
At some of the Offices yesterday there were
a few applicants for the places vacated by
the striking men, but their places are by no
means generally filled. The men are quite
as firm as the employers and declare that
they will not return to work until their de-
mands are met.
One of the employers in speaking of the
strike said that they did not regard the
press feeders as strictly skilled labor and
trade in a few months. In spite of this
statement there were very few job presses
that were being run in this town yesterday
except by the pressmen.

Tenants on the Ground Floor of the
Central Market.

Assistant Corporation Attorney Taylor was
requested yesterday by members of the coun-
Gil committee public buildings to draw up
notices terminating the leases for the lower
floor of the Market house. Mr.. Taylor stated
that as he understood the request, all the
persons occupying space on the lower floor
of the Market house, with the exception OF the
Manufacturers union and the cigar store, were
to be served with a notice to remove.
The meeting Of the committee on public
buildings has not as yet been formally called.
although four Of the six members understand
that a session will be held either Monday or
Tuesday afternoon.
The report of the city treasurer for June
shows that S154 SO was collected for rents in
side the Market house during that month
and $16050 from the same source for July.
AS one OF the aldermen stated last evening,
It would appear from these figures that the
revenue derived by the city from the rent Of
stalls in the Market house did not amount
to much, and that more real benefit would
be derived by allowing the Manufacturers
union the entire floor Of the building at a
nominal rent.
The occupants of the stalls which it is
proposed to vacate are much exercised over
the matter, and will make an effort to re-
main in their present locations The rent
paid to the city is low in comparison to what
stores in the immediate vicinity could be
secured for and for this, If for no other
reason, the occupants do not care to vacate.
