STRIKERS STILL
REMAIN FIR
No Trouble Regarding the
Removal Of the Steamer
Republic

In the position CT the striking ma
chinists there is no change to-day, the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company
and the J. Morton Poole Company still
refusing to accede to the mems de-
mands.
AT this mornings meeting of the men
in Turn Hall, w. II. Blake presided,
but no business was transacted beyond
the reporting Of the men. Many Of the
strikers were interested in the horse
show parade, and the program pre-
pared by the painters, which was to
have been given to-day, was postponed
until Tomorrow morning. when an es-
pecial entertainment will be given.
NO TROUBLE ABOUT REPUBLIC.
The steamer Republic. which has
been undergoing repairs at the Harlan
and HOllingswCrlh C0mpanys yards
was removed on Monday to the Pusey
and Jones Company's yards. Contrary
to report there has been no trouble
made by machinists over the transfer
of the boat. There was a quantity OF
machinery upon the decks OF the steam
er, the work on which had been COM
pleted, but owing to the steamer Den
yer lying at the wharvec OF the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Company, il
was impossible to get the Republic un-
der the shears, and as the steamer was
due to go on its route in a few days, il
was deemed advisable to move her tc
the Puse yand Jones Company
wharf, and place the machinery in posi-
ton. No machinists are at work on
the boat.
ONE MAN WAS DISCHARGED.
1t is said that the captain OF the Re
public made an effort to engage the
striking painters from the Harlan and
Hcllingsworth Company to work on the
steamer, but that the offer was re-
jected.
After consultation Of a committee OF
strikers and members OF the firm of the
Delaware Machine Company yesterday
afternoon, the company agreed 20 a nine
hour system, to take effect at once. Last
night meetings OF the Moulders Unior
and the Painters Union were held. lively,
new members were initiated into the
painters organization.
The men up until Monday intended TO &,
to the works and get what was due then
yesterday on that day. however. the,
heard that all the painters who called for
their money would be told that their ser.
vices We're no longer needed. There was
but one q the painters who called for
his money yesterday. He Is said to have
been discharged.
