FEWER MEN AT WORK.
Idle strikers are Drawing $1,000 a
Dav from Central Labor Union.

Rochester, n. Y, July 1.-The strikers
did not parade yesterday, because of the
intense heat. They were gratifed to
hear that fewer men were at work on
buildings than ON Saturday and say this
is IL point in their favor. 1t was said
by the contractors last Friday that on
Monday they could get all the men they
wanted. but today found them worse
off than last week. Contributions are
pouring in from all the cities in the
State.
The lahorers who would 90 to work
because they are in present need of the
money can get their regular days wages
by calling at the Office of the Central
Labor Union, so they can get as much
by staying idle as they could by working.
Even the most obtnse are brought about
by this argument. 1t costs nearly $1,000
day to keep this up. The men are paid
at 10 o'clock in the morning and o'clock
in the afternoon, in order to prevent
those who are working from imposing on
the union by getting their pay in both
places.
The strikers now include 500 Germans
and $50 Italians There are only fifty
Americans in the lot. There will he a
hig parade on the Fourth, with three
bands.
