SOME SIDE LIGHTS
OF NEW YORK CITY
Told BY Walter Trumbull in
His Own Immical Way
of Doings i'm City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

A truck filled with sugar crossing
the Fifty-ninth street bridge somehow
caught fire. This naturally tied up
traffic, which normally is heavy over
that centrally located span. Finally
they managed to put the fire out.
But meanwhile something else had
happened. The heat had melted the
sugar and it descended to the road
way of the bridge in the shape of
sirup and flowed. heavy and thick,
in all directions. This caused a traf-
tic tieup to which the former one
was nothing. Sand and small gravel
had to be procured in large amounts
and spread to give traction. 1t was
several hours before the tangle was
Strengthened out.
A man who had been signing other
persons names to his checks got
caught at it and found himself in
the penitentiary. Every inmate has
to work for his room and board up
there, so they gave the forger a job.
He was assigned to teach penman-
ship.
Francis Alhertanti tells me
story Of Owney Madden. generally
designated as a racketeer and unde-
sirable citizen. but of whom Father
Cashin. former chaplin at Sing Sing.
once said that he had helped more
ex-convicts 90 straight than all the
refOrmerS. 1t seems that Madden
had an Office in a building on Broad
way where there was a frail look
ing elevator man. For several days,
this man was missing and Madden
asked where he was. He learned
that the elevator man was at home
In bed and it looked as if he might
stay there some time.
This was not so good, as the man
got one of those trick salaries-the
trick being to live on it. Madden
went to see him. He made him roll
over with his face to the wall; and
said he wanted to see his back.
When the man was thus engaged,
Madden slipped two 500 bills un-
der the pillow. Then he left. And"
says Mr.. Albertanti, Il sure would
like to have seen the expression
on that mans face when he slipped
Sc hfsy III
head and found that money"
/ always have liked the story of
the benevolent gangster who was
too kind-hearted to see the poor of
Hell's kitchen suffer from the win
ter weather during a coal strike.
Solely from motives of charity, he
took a gun. held up three coal
wagons, and made the drivers dump
the coal in the street. It didn't
stay there any longer than it took
10 get baskets and boxes to gather
il up.
Three wOuld-be robbers tried to
hold up a Brooklyn hospital. Police
captured them. Now they feel sick
er than the patients.
Chister Fl. Aldrich, the noted
architect, says he considers the
Morgan library the most beautifully
designed building in the city. Be
cause of its size and surroundings,
many pass 1t by without much mo-
tice. The Empire State tower still
is doing a lively business with sight
seers. The usual thing is for a
building to support tower, but this
tower supports the building. John
Law, former Notre Dame center and
captain, is a renting agent at Rookie
feller City and coaching football on
the side.

PAPER MAKERS
HEAR HOOK

At a meeting at the labor temple
last Sunday afternoon, nearly hun
dred local paper makers were ad-
dressed by Archie Hook, treasurer
and general organizer of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Paper Max
ers.
Mr.. Hook explained the workings,
conditions and rights of the workers
under the NRA code. Lively and keen
interest was shown by the large crowd
present. Many questions were asked
and answered, and much information
given out. Another meeting will be
held shortly. The sincerity and ear
nest effort of Mr.. Hook in behalf OF
the workers interest is making deep
impression, and the workers seem
anxious to learn more from him.
Mr.. Hook will be in our midst for
some time, during which he will point
out to the paper makers the advan-
tages of organization.

DRESSMAKERS TO
GET MORE PAY

Philadelphia, Pa. (ILNS)-Phila-
delphia's 5000 union dressmakers
have received wage increases ranging
from 20 to so per cent, Elias Refs
berg, international vice president of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, announced. Reisberg
said the increases are the result of
two weeks negotiations between the
union and the Philadelphia Dress
Manufacturers Association.
The union asked for a 20 per cent
increase because of the advance in
prices of commodity goods. During
the negotiations, the silk dress code
was drawn and approved by the NRA
administration. Under the fina'
agreement, the $4,000 workers in the
so silk dress factories are to receive
code wages which represent an in
crease of more than 40 per cent over
current rates
Although there is yet no code for
the cotton dress and blouse industry
the cutters in the cotton dress shops
will receive the wages paid cutters in
the silk shops, establishing $24 to
$40 scale. This scale represents an
increase in the various classifcations
of cutters from 80 to so per cent.
The other oDeratiVes i'm the cotton
dress division of the industry are
given a blanket 10 per cent increase
until permanent piece rates are es-
tablished by a code. The increase
under the new agreement is in addi-
tion to 20 per cent increase gained
during the recent general strike.

pose of receiving entries, contracting

doing many of the other preliminar-
les necessary to conducting big
show, such as the Butler County Fair
always proves to be, successfully. The
secretary's office is about the busiest
place in the county today. There is
little here to remind one we are in a
depression period.
Entries are coming in by the hum
dreds and Secretary Brown predicts
there will be more for this years fair
than was ever made before. He has
surrounded himself with an efficient
corps of assistants with Peter Sci
bold again as chief assistant, and that
speaks we'll for the success of the
1888 show. With Pete in charge all
is sure to go well SO far as the secre-
tary's office is concerned. This is
petes nineteenth year on the job and
he knows all the oldtime fair fol-
lowers.
