Pay Day on the Docks Yesterday
Rather DiscOuraging.

Yesterday was the poorest pay day Oh
the p. II. X. docks that they have had
for many months. The checks ranged
from $50 to $36. The latter being the
trimmers pay. Last month it was SAG
making ten dollars less this month in
their pay.
Some of the merchants said you could
not tell it was pay day in the evening, as
business was dull and no signs of money
floating about. The size Of the checks
will account for that. Ii is claimed that
the largo cars now bringing in the coal
enables them to empty them so quickly
that many more men are on the docks
than are really required there. That is
outsiders talk. No doubt there are many
glad to have the work with one another
TO help all to keep going until the hard
times are over, which, SOME say, VIII
not be until after election.
1t would he very discouraging il more
men should be discharged. The coal
docks have always been the life of the

place there in the way of a rush or a
slack time affects all of Amboy, natural

hear of a rush again.
