Labor Trouble in New York of a
Rather Peculiar Nature.
New York, March ia strike
among the employees of the new East
river bridge has been ordered. The
strike was begun by the painters on
grounds of rather peculiar nature,
and it is feared will be followed by
general sympathetic strike. on the
part of the iron workers.. The strike
of the painters grew out of the dis
charge of John Hale, one of the paint
ers who was on the scaffold, the rope
fastenings of which broke on Friday,
causing the death of Frank Abortion.
who fell a distance of $50 feet: and was
dashed to death at the base of the
granite anchorage.
Hale, in saving himself, fractured
his left arm and dropped a pot Of
black paint which, in falling, struck
the granite anchorage causing dis
figurement of the surface. For this,
it is claimed, he was discharged.
