The bother over the chieftaincy of
the fire department is resulting in the
holding up of the pay of all the de-
partment employees.
Controller Howell declines to accept
the certitication Of Acting Chief Suy-
dam and will not cOuntersign the pay
roll unless Chief Hickey's signature ap-
pears upon it, along with that of the
acting chief. Yesterday Chief Hickey
offered TO join with Acting Chief Suy-

until the trouble is finally decided be-
fore the controller is asked 10 pay
either of them. The parties will meet
today to consider this.

Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: In this mornings issue of The
Tribune, in an article signed by r.. =
Williams, pen-piCturC is presented in
the last two paragraphs which, if true
would be only too pleasing 10 such gem
tlemcn who lean on the same side of
the labor problem as the subscriber 10
the article. To quote Mr.. Williams: "he
that joins a labor union gives away his
rights as a frce-will agent ana gets
very little in return for it" This would
lead one to believe that workman, on
joining union of his craft, does so for
the sole purpose Of paging a per capt. /
sum monthly merely for the benefit of a
few leaders who give him little I'm re-
turn" But happily such is not the case.
If the building trades were not Organ-
izcd today they would he i'm lhc condition.
of those in the poorly organized cities
outside this rneion,' who are forced to
work for that which their masters wish
To give them. | also fan TO see the con-
sistency of Mr.. Williams statement that
''he who joins a labor union gives away
his right as free-will agent" when il
is considered that he Is "A member of the
builders exchange, an organization that
Is working to defeat the purpose of the
building trades, To keep from their en-
ployes that which rightly belongs 90
them, ana also working an injury to the
general mercantile interests of the city
by refusing TO comply with the Just re-
| quest of their wOrkmen.
As regards pity for the families of
the men, etc." | believe that it would
| be such as was bestowed upon poor Laz-
| arls at the time he was seated at the
| rich mans gate
Trusting that Mr.. Williams will banish
| the belief that the majority of the
| building trades are Of the Judas class.
| and 10 think better of labor organiza-
tions as e whole, bid him good night.
| Yours truly,
j. j, Morgan.

mutual consent, Mr. Bennett selling
his interest to his former partner,
Joseph Fl. Simonton, who will con-
tinue the business at the same place.
The outstanding accounts will be

Mr.. Bennett will devote himself to

weeks. Everybody indebted is re-
quested to call at once and pay or ad-
just their bills.
Mr.. Simonton Wilt change the

ness in this city for more than twenty
five years, and has hundreds of friends
who will wish him success.
Mr.. Benefits health is somewhat

The Crescent.

AS in the past, so in the future, the
Crescent bicycle leads and will lead
the procession. Not satisfied with
past triumphs, it starts in for the sea-
son of 1893 with better and lower
priced wheels than ever before.
William Scherffius has received a
dozen new wheels, among them a '99
chainless, which is offered for $50.
This wheel is simply perfect. In any
detail it cannot be excel]ed, and the
aggregation of all that is best puts it
clearly at the head of the, list Of inn
proved wheels.
The '99 model of chain wheel has a
number Of very desirable improve
ments, and is strictly first-class, and
yet it is offered for $500, while the
'9S wheels, as good as the best, is sold
for $4,000. The new Juveniles, with
all the features of the higher-priced
wheels, sells for $500.
Mr.. Scherffius has all these patterns
now in stock, and only asks the wheel
ing public to call and carefully exam
inc them.
