ALDERMEN PAID ENOUGH.
SO Declares General SickEes-
"&2. 900 Year Too Much"

Major General Daniel q. sickles. formerly 8
member of the Board OF Aldermen, strongly
disapproves Of the bill at Albany to increase the
salaries Of the members OF the Board OF Alder
men from $1,000 to $4,000 year.
u have always considered he said, that
$1,000 a year was more than generous payment
for each member of the Board Of Aldermen,
but now that the board has been stripped Of its
franchise granting power-which means prac-
tically the only power it ever had-I can't for
the life of me where it is entitled to any
pay at ALL
THE increased remuneration will not in my
opinion. tend TO enhance the character of the
board. The hest City Council we ever had was
when the members received no payment The
finest governed cities in the world to-day do
not pay their aldermen"
General Sickles, as Is well known, lest a leg
IN the battle of Gettysburg, and IN referring to
this in connection with his duties as a former
councillor he said smilingly:
when 1 was an alderman considered that
a year, for the reason that was the only MEM
Der on the board that had 20 get along on one
pedal extremity, and IN order 70 assure myself
being present at each meeting OF the board I
had to hire a cab to take to the City Hail
and also to get home again. Aside from the in
convenience, the expense made a mighty big
hole in my $1,000 year. Cab hire. as you
know Is something to be reckoned with in this
city Of New York"

BIG LAKE STRIKE ON.
'Longshoremen Go Out at Midnight
-F9llg 10000 affected.

Cleveland, April SO-The threatened striks az
lOngshoremen on the Great Lakes will go into
effect at midnight tonight. This positive state
mont was made at the local headquarters OF the
'LongshOremen's Union here to-day. Vessel
, owners and shippers declare that the Lake Pi-
lots Union and mates will not be recognized un-
der any circumstances.
The LongshOFemen's Union includes, in addi-
tiOn to the dock workers. vessel mates, fremen,
oilers and water tenders The refusal OF vessel
owners to recognize the organization Of the lake
pilots which recently became affiliated with the
IOngshoremen led TO the breaking or Of negO-
tiatiOns between fhe carriers and the union
when they met 20 agree wage scale for the
present season. The mates also claimed the
right to belong to the union.
Vessel owners here to-day were making every
effort to get all boats in port loaded and sent
out Of the harbOr before midnight. To avoid
congestion in the river all incoming ore laden
vessels arriving after midnight will tie UP IN
the outer harbOr during the continuation OF the
strike.
This strike will affect fully $4,000 men. 1t is
a subject Of grave concern to vessel men and
shippers. especially those at the head OF the
lakes. A tie-up OF ten days even will set the
Lake Superior feet back more than six million
TONS
F. r. Gilchrist. treasurer of the GIlchrist
Transportation COmpanyf which operates one Of
the largest feet on the Great Lakes said to-day:
1t is the old fight Of two years ago over again.
Then there was strike to have the captains
recognized as union men, That settled, and
now come the mates through the lOngShOreuleu
and ask to have the Mates Union recognized. A
captain and mate stand in the same relation 20
the vessel owners as do the superintendent ot a
factory to the manufacturer. The vessel owners
think that they are entitled to at least two rep
resenatives on each boat who are not affiliated
with the union. A mate stands next to the cap
tain and tt is necessary, the vessel owners hold.
that he should not be connected with the union.
Lake Carriers will be called Immediately 70 ar

Albany, April 3O.-There was no cessation IN
the battle between Senator Page and the Raines-
Malby element in the Senate which is trying 20
prevent the consideration OF the new Mortgage
Tax Repeal bill tonight. Senator Page contin-
ued his plan of holding up every bill which It's
champions sought to get to third reading, re-
gardless Of the holding up of his own measures
IN the Assembly in retaliation for his campaign.
HIS opponents, resolved to prevent the passage
Of the bill at all hazards, took an early adjourn
ment tonight leaving a huge calendar almost
untouched. Even the ReappOrtionment bill went
unconsidered. They seem almost anxious to
make necessary an extra session rather than
nave the Mortgage Tax bill come to a vote

feeling against them,' explained Senator Page.

general orders, or in some way reach vote on
tne mortgage Tax bill, now held in general

When Senator Raines. at 80 o'clock. moved
TO adjourn Senator Page and several others
protested. urging the short time left for the
transaction OF business and the vast number OF
bills on the calendar. Senator Raines then sug-
gested making the calendar a special order for
tomorrow. Senator Page objected again, but
on the assurance that II would help him some

Senate to convene an hour earlier, however.
The Page bill, killed by the Assembly. pro-
vided that the New York Board of Elections
might split any district having more than FIVE
hundred voters. Assemblyman Merritt moved
to recommit the measure.
II admit he explained that my motive in
so doing is not very high one insist that

or force an extra session because he can't get
either house to put through his Mortgage Tax
bill he ought to be disciplined, and don't know
Of any more effective method than by killing his
