The result was verdict of mot gull

There are three other indictments upon

as this was supposed to be the strong

for the first time in the history of the

Mr.. Patterson, head waiter of the
Plankinton CAFE was prevented with 9
fine gold watch upon his departure for
Chicago on the 20tt inst; where he was
united in marriage to one Of Chicago's
bellies. How many Afro-American head
walters, who have been overs crew of
men for little over 80 days, have ever
received such present? It plainly
shows Mr.. Patterson's popularity with
his white walters, while Mr.. Afro-Amer-
Jean would say that he bad to contribute
to hold bis position. White walters as q
rule, have more respect for their super

have very little for theirs. He goes into

d:sobey his rules. He is looking for full
pay ard all the idle time he can get. He
would rather displepss aRuest than to

Too Much Ado xxxI
About Notbtn0!

they reduced the wages Of the deck
hands and firemen S. per month
and they agreed 10 restore the first
of April to the old rates, but the owners
were too greedy and refused to pay the
men the rates agreed upon when the
traffic was extra good, their boats were
loaded down with passengers and
freight.
The boat ran down 10 Astoria and re-
turned making the round trip in twenty.
four hours. There's where the hands
were in constant drudgery with
scarcely any rest.
The men struck for the old wages of
$50 per month. If ever a man earned
his dollar day, it was on those trips
and yet the company refuses TO grant
the men the pittance. 1t is too bad
their boats wasn't where the Sullivan
and Bunker Hill mills stood, without
the passengers, that is the first "trip s.
Friedman took TO Astoria, and being an
eve witness will give a description how
a boat can run with new hands. The
whole amount that the experienced la
borers demanded more per month, the
boat could have made in one day. We
were delayed over two hours in Portland
before starting, but rather than TO pay
the deck hands and firemen the amount
previously agreed TO, they picked up a
crew Of new recruits, thereby endanger-
ing the safety Of the passengers, the
freight and their boat, and it put the
whole work on the mate, for none of the
new recruits could max landing.
They didn't know how to put off a gang
plank nor how to tie line, and it took
double the amount of men to load and
unload the hand trucks, and many
narrow escape the merchandise had
from being thrown overheard, both i'm
taking ashore and putting on if it had
not been for the pilot and mate treb-
bling their work.
They were lucky in having the old
mate and pilots and each OF them treb-
bled up in their labors and after fash
ion they arrived in Astoria several hours
late while they had the swiftest boats,
and on account Of it lots of their traffic
went 20 the O. r. q y.
About twelve years ago Friedman was
again an eye witness to a street ear
strike, on Broadway, New York. The
strikers were all gentlemen and they
won. 1t was rather amusing how they
did. got on at Broadway and Spring
