CLAIMS BACK WAGES FROM CITY.
Painters Suit Brings Up Question Involving
More Than $5,00O,OOO.

A question involving claims of more than $500 =
600 against the city came before Justice Blanchard
yesterday, when James J. Carey. a painter in the
Fire Department repair shop, applied for leave to
serve amended complaint in his suit TO recover
Sl75 from the city on account of wages he claims
under the Prevailing Rate of Wage law.
The original act was passed in 1884, and amended
in 1897, and again in 1899, and provided that all
mechanics, artisans and laborers in the employ of
the State or any municipal, corporation should
receive as wages the prevailing rate. The subject
was Itgated in more than test case. ard the
law was finally declared constitutional by the
Court OF Appeals
Ex-Chief Judge Parker. who wrote the ma toritv
opinion held that in cases such that of Carey
where the plaintiff had not protested against the
rate of wages paid him, he should be considered
TO have waived his right to recover

pie Miss Roosevelt's going away gown is of gray
broadcloth, and, II the gossip of intimate friends
