8 PRINCE ERIE'S STRIKERS. The Strike at an End and the Prince Avenged, The Cause of the Movement—The Erie Machine Shops Deserted-—-The Strikers Paid Off and Discharged in Re- taliation—Sther Workmen in League with the “Outs.” ‘Pee strike of the mechauics employed by the Ene Raitway Company at Jersey City continued yester- Gay and reached its crisis. In order that the pablio may have corre@ information as to the origin of the present difficult tween Jim Jubilee Fisk and Com- pany on the one hand and their employés ou the other, the following short history of it will be found eprortune:— TOW THR STRIKE CAMB ALOU, It will be remembered that a stuular diMeulty oc- @arred last fall. {1 was all about the regularity of pay day. The workmen cow plaued that they suffered great inconvenieuce on account of the company mot paying them regularly on the days stipulated, Ithad deen agreed aud promised by the officers of 4be company years ago that the wages earned for a month should ve paid the men on or before the loth day of the succeeding month. But this agreement was but seldom kept by tue company. Bsually tie payma: did not appear before the 18th and some- tues not before the 16th or 20th day of the suc- eeeding month, and the workingmen, dependent m@pon the regolar receipt of their hard-carned wages bor Miecting the:r own little bills at the butcher's, ‘dhe grocer’s and the Janulord’s, bad their pauence wot only eeverely tried but were often put in want and suifering, together with thetr families. 1¢ 13 agerted by the men thas the pay for March, 1865, was not received by them until the 200 day of April following, and that similiar, though not quite so had, instances of inexcusable delay were rather the rate than the exception. ip Uus regular succession of irroguiar pay days originated tie strike of last tall, which was general amorty tle operatives on the whole line of the Erie Ralwey, trom Jersey City to Dunkirk and Buffalo, aad. op the braach roads, The strike at that me, on the part of the operatives, was managed by the Executine Committee of he Mutual Protective Associatien wf the: Erle Railway Bmpioyes,’ amd this committee had a conference with day Goud, the Preanient of the road; dims Fisk, its comptroiier, and LL wh Rucker, generail supermtendens At this conser- ence, it 1s said b,¥ those who pretend to know, Jin Jubtiee, Jr., was Very emphatic in his expressions favoring the star Ml taken by the striking working- men, one of his qleclarauons bemg reported as fol- dow: Damn it, when [ do work for anybody t waut my pay when the work Ja done; that’s all our men want, and they’ shail Lave it, so help me God," The result of this Conference Wis an agreement signed by Jay Gould : tad dated October 24, 1509, con- taming tae following BUpuiatiol ‘his commuttee agree to make the pwy day the 15th, except Jersey Clty, which is to be paid on the 12th, as heretofore, ‘with the understandiny that if by any accident you (Jay Gourd) or some other authorized oficial shail no- tify all the master meWanics of the facts, with the understanding that thi shall not occur if it is possible for the company 20 avoid 1.” Though not very lucid grammatically, this agreement, sigued by Jay Gould, was understoo& to mean that in Jersey City the men in the worksimps should be patd regu- larly their wages for the month on the Lzth day of the succeeding month, and & the company, by any accident, should be prevented from doing 80 notice of the fact, together with a full statement of the eause, should be given to he men through the was- ver mechanics, OTHER CAUSES OF DISSATISFACTION. But the company did not keep the terms of this agreement, not even since October last. 1 the men but rarely came before the men did not complain, work the beginning of the present month, how- ever, another and, in their opinion, very serious cause of dissatistacuon was given theamen. Ou the 3d day of January, 1870, the first working day im tie year, the working hours per day were reduced from tento eight, and a corresponding reduction made in the pay, namely, twenty percent. The.operatives believed they saw inthis a deep laid plan Lo reduce wages generally. They knew from pereonal experl- ence that the amount of work required by the com- pany had not lessened, for aithough tie hours of work ‘were reduced, with # corresponding subtraction of Wages, new hands were engaged daily and hints were muiuereus that the day's work would shortly again be increased to ten hours, without any increase ef pay. This exasperated the workingmen. To it came stil another cause of compiaint. Tuere are employed im the Ene #uops, m Jersey City, some forty operatives who live at Paterson. They used to receive. free passes over the road to reach the place of their employment ip the morning, and return home in the evening. Lately these tree passes were witharawn and the men received tickets, for which they were charged tweive and a half ceuts per day, which was deducted from their wages. Wiih atl these various causes of dissatisfaction working upon the minds of the employés in the shops .came tue Mast pay day, as per agreement. ‘THE TWELFTH OF JANUARY. ‘The men, as a matier of course, expected their pay on that day. They were at work as usual during tne forenoon, and returned to Uieir siops aNd Look ‘up work again after the dinner hour had expired, About two o'clock In the afternoon, seeing no pre- parations to pay them, hearing notuing of the ar- Fival of the payuiaster, the Executive Committee of the association of workwgmen employed by the Erie Railway watted on Mr. Henry L. Brown, the master mechanic, to inquire whether they were Wo be paid oa that day. He replied that he would amake inquiries at the general office of the company, corner of Twenty-third street and Kighth avenue, in this city. At Lbree o’clock he received the following answer:— Ruse Basnway TeLxGrarn, Jan, 12, 1870, By telegraph from New York to H. 1.

LD. i A copy of this despatch was at once communt- cated to Mr. George Keasley, the President of the Jer- -— City branch of tae association of workingmen, ‘who read it to the men in the shops. A short con- ference followed, during which it was aacertaine at jeast, so the men affirm—that the stavement in the despaich, of money having been sent “over the river” to pay part of the meu, was not true. ‘ney couciuded that the promise of payment Was & mere shift to obteim delay, and about ten minutes to Jour ali the hands 1n the car works, the Fepair shop, she blacksmith shop and the machine @hop—about 360 in number—resolved to svop work, and they immediately eft. Of this they informed Mr. Brown, who stated that they were wrong; that ‘the only cause of the delay was the absence of Mr. Doremus, the paymaster, who was believed to he wick, A comniittee also waited on Mr. Hull, the amuaster of the motive power, who compiamed that the men did not give the company time to prepare the pay rolis; to which the comunittee replied that ‘whe me lists of the employés were sent in by the Zoremen one or two days before the close of the mienth, which, according to the agreement (copied above) gives the company fourteen days’ time, a suiticient term, in the opinion of the men, to tintsh the roll, Nothing, uowever, came of these conter- ences, Od ail tne hands stopped work, as they had reselvedto do.

M. Thia energetic #iand taken by the conpary somewhat started che den, but it was ineffecttal as an inducement for them to re-enter the shops and return to work. Shortly after, by order of Nr, Vuits, the despatcher of engines, a written notice was posted up in tle engine house, calling upon al engimeers to Keep 2 time table of ali repairing done vy them to engines during vie continuance o: the swzike of the macain- sig, and the engineers were privately informed Liat by doing such repairs themselves while the strike aconuinues they would favor the company and be paid exiza for this additional work. But it was re- iarked that none of the engineers felt inclined to comply with this request, At nine o'clock A.

Shortly before noon, near the oftice door of the repair shop, a notice, signed by. Mr. H. 4.

Astroi through the shops of the Erle depot re- vealed a somewhat remarkable scene, In the ma- cbine room of all che numerous mactinery but three turning lathes were at work, attended by appreu- uuces und some foremen, and ove flue-cutting ma- chine. Ali the forges in the blacksmith shop, over & hundred, were cold and deserted, except two, and not much work was done on these latter. The mighty sieap engine was revoiving its immense fying Wheel, Dut all that vast power was uselessly spent, mo Workingmen being there to utilize it. A locomo- Uve, No, 240, Which Was expected to be ready for use on tue road by yesterday afiernoon, rested its huge frame quietly on the rails, and not @ finger Was raised to give it the last few finishing touches. But men, workingmen, employes of the company no longer, Were there, picking up and packing U their tools, looking here for # hammer, there for a spike, hero for a clitset and there for other thing; talking in vubdued tones to each other; some laying jans for emigrating West, others for openiwg ness On thelr own account, while Many were in favor of stringent measures known to workingmen’s associations and trade untons, in order wo prevent tae company from replacing their discharged me- chanics by others, A case im point Occurred, Seve- ral blacksmiths haa come over trom New York who had appliea tor employment at the company’s Works some time fo and were pronused engagements. When they ard of the strike from their elow workingmen they declined to enter the company’s service. Other efforts made by the company to ob- tain @ fres!; il of boiler makers, the men assert, have also jailed. Whether this was true or not could not be ascertained with any degree of cer- mows Purther developments are 100) for to- day. THE TELEGRAPHERS’ STRIKE. ‘The telegraph operators held their regular meet- ing yesterday ut their headquarters, No. 270 Grand street, Listle of interest transpired until Messrs, Brown- ing and Troup, of the National Lavor Union, visited the mecting and addressed the assemblage. Mr. BROWNING assured the strikers that the brick- Jayers, his own craftsmen, would in a few days give them material aid in the way of contribution. He alluded to the Conspiracy law, of which the Western Union Company threaten to avail themselves, and urged them to pay no attention vo it, Jor, said ne, they won’t have me to get oul a warrant before the law is repealed, Mr. Tour, who, with Mr. Browning, has just re- turned from Albany, where he has been urging the repeal of the Conspiracy law, addressed the meeting ina very encouraging manner, assuring them thac they had nothing to fear as regards the success of their strike. He said the sirike had only just com- quenced, and those present were only the skirmishers in this Contest, The grand army of workingmen throughout! the whole country, six hundred thou- sand strong, had not yet been brought to the frout, and others are coming, as in the caxe of Typograph- cal Union No, 6, Who had so maguanimousiy volun- teered practical assistance to tae tune of five nun- ared doliars. This, he continued, is only a forerun- ner of what is yet to come if the Western Umon Company do not draw off sheir forces and discon- Unue the fight. ‘Tbe strikers’ duty was to stand out firmiy and unitedly, They owed this muet to the ‘laboring nen and women of we entire land. Mr. Troup sald he had spoken to repre- sentatives of the workingmen’s unions in Troy and Aibany, aud they assured Nim that they would stand by the strikers Co the last and that they had alreaqy placed thetr treasuries at their disposal. Mr. CONWAY, of the fainters’ Union, also addressed the iueeting and spoke many words of encourage- ment aud cheer to them. Mr. Browning offered his services, which were graciousiy accepted, vo act m connection with any or all Committces tu attend meetings of the different labor organizations for the purpose of properly stating their case and soletting aid. Afier appoimting Mr. J. H. Kmerick to receive all contributions oa behalf of the league the meeting ad- Joarned to meet agai to-day, The Surveyor of the Po Union. The Surveyor of the Port of New York, quite w worthy official, it is true, and whose business ail mercantile men acquamted with the bureau are familiar with, requires a telegraphic operator at the Custom House, to recelve such messages as are transmitted from the barge office on the Battery, ‘There 1 no law governing the appointment of clerks ip this = establisnment = «that gives \he Surveyor the power to select and appoint an operator directiy to perform this charac- ver of work, and thus this omission in the law 18 gotien over by selecting an additional general clerk designed for the telegraphie position, Who 14 timme- diately after appointment detailed to perform such duties, Such is the manner in which the Surveyor obtains his operators.

The pubiished cards of the Western Union thas their oMces this way are filled with operators is simply “bosh.’”? They have not ten per cent of a full supp'y, and that has been done by closing country offices. The Western Union, in or- der to discourage the friends of the opposi- tion companies, have reduced their tarifs from 100° to 200 per cent, therepy hoping to kill them off, The strikers say that the losses to the Western Union in the fight shall not be reimoursed by reduclig operators’ wayes—that the growth of the opposition companies will increase the want of operators, and hence competition will increase ‘wages, The West ts bein repialy covered with opposi- tion lines and the Western Unton have left notning undone to stop their extension.

As the particulars of the affray have already been published m these columns @ brief recurrence to the main features of the shooting will at present suffice, The deceased, in company with three other men, ail of whom, 111s said, were partially intoxicated, entered the store of the accused on the evening nawed, and, being in a quarreisome mood, Brophy commenced to abuse and afterwards assaulted Spollen in his store. Brophy’s friends joined in tae quarrel and subsequently dragged the accused out of ns house and there abused Lim shamefully. The wife of the accused, on coming to beg protection for ner busband, was also beaten by Nis assailants.

No other resource was lefi to the prose- cntion than to recommend to the Court to order the drawing of the remaining members of the jury from the town boxes, and this was done. Th : fence, however, urged that from the aiticulcy already experienced in getting unprejudiced jurors from the town any further attempts m that direction would be Joss of time, and insisted that the county at large should be drawn on | py ‘the = Sheriff. A good deal of discussion took place between the contending counsel, ana nally the Court ordered the Sheri to bring th the town box and draw from it 120 names. This waa the entire number iy toe box, Tis morning at nine o'clock the wearisome work of challenging these Jarors for principal cause and examining them by triers was commenced.

Increase of $7,500—A Good Stroke of Polley by the Prince of Erie’s Law- yer — Mr. Beeeher’s Retirement from Public Life—Piymouth Church in Debt. A meeting of the members of Plymouth chureb was held last mightin the lecture room. ‘The at- tendance was not large, the meeting not numbering at any time during its short soesion more than seventy or eighty persons, including about thirty ladies, ‘Though the atvendance was small, in comparison with the roll of eburch metabers, which numbers nearly 2,000, the object of the meeting was a very important one, for it was the voting on the question of a large addition to the pastor’s salary. The result, after a debate, which ts given below, was tyat Mr. Beecher’s salary is increased $7,500, tustead of $5,000, as originally proposed. For this very handsome vote Mr. Beecher is mamly indebted to the manipulation of the meeting by Mr. Shearman, the attorney of the Brie Railway and the Jegal adviser of the Prince of Erie, who accom- plished this somewhat delicate matter with a skill that was quite equal to bis reputation as a lawyer. After the meeting had been called to order by the clerk of the church Mr. Howard was voted to the chair, The minutes of the meeting of the trustees, held last Thursday evening, wiex the proposal to in- crease the pastor's salary $5,000 lor this year wae referred for consideration and decision thereupon to this meeting, were read and confirmed. Mr, Beso then moved that the salary be in- creased $6,000, as recommended by the trustees, Deacon Hureuisson then formally seconded this motion. Is was sbout wo be put to the meeting for a vote, when Mr. ClavLin moved that the salary be increased $7,500, which would make the salary $20,000. He urged that tuere could pe no doubt that Mr. Beecher earned every cent of it, and he Bad no doubt chav it could be paid by the charch. ‘(bey were all avreed vhat Mr. hea her was worthy of it, for without him it would twupossible to rae tie large sums of money that bad been raised. Deacon HUTCHINSON said thas his friend, Mr. Clattiin, was not present when the estimates of ex- peudicure were prepared for the ensuing year at a Teceut meeting of the Board of Trustees, Strictly speaking the church was not out of debt yet, and the Board had made a careful estimate of wnat their expenses Were likely to be, and they found that they would have a clear $5,000 surplus. Ever since he (Mr. Hutcninson) bad been on the Board there had been a debt and the $5,000 was all that they would have to spare. ‘There was @ genera! short conversation as to whether the $5,000 should be @ donation or an in- crease for the present year or @ permanent increase, in which there did not seem to be anything very ciear in the minds of any of the speakers. Mr, SHEARMAN then ros@ and said that he objected tothe form of the resoluuion, which was a recom. mendation to the trustees. ‘ne society had only a very small piece of which = was that relaung wo the pastor's salary, and he thought the church shonid be careful in keeping that within their own disposition, end not allow the trustees to 1x the salary. He algo thought that tnis should not be put in the form of adouation, for if auy man had earned this money Mr. Beecher had earned his, If it was intended to make Mr. Beccher a present let them subscrive for that purpose. ‘this money ought not to be disposed of to Mr. Beecher as though i were the uwarding of any par- ucular favor. It was earned by Mr. Beecher aud nos by the Churen, and with the disposition of that monty, whether i6 was more or less than he required, was not, he thought, the question, He was of au opinion tat the salary of $12,500 should be raised $7,600 and that would make the salary $20,000. Mr. Beecher could obtain at elsewhere; he was getting ov it life, and it was known that he intended to retire irom nore prominent public lite ag early as he could. In view of these lacts he thought it was tue duty of the church to give 8 muci as 1 Was possible for them to give to the pastor, Deacon HUTCHINSON said that he must not be un- derstood as objecting to an increase of Mr. Beecher’s saiary, buche wished the meeting to undeistand that the church was im debt $2,500 already, Mr. CLAFLIN said he smiled at the idea of the men. tion of this two thousand tive hundred dollars dept, whe church had been in debt since he was a mem- ber of the board in amounts varying froin one thou- sand to seventy-tive thousand dollars, and certainly lwo thousand five hundred dollars was not likely to frighven them. A standing vote was taken, and the result was that a resolution was passed, virtually unanimously, ‘nat the salary of tue pastor be $20,000, ‘The meeting then broke up, all the young people adjourning to the “sociable” which was going on to the scnoolroom. ARIONISTIC EXTRAVAGANZA. ‘The season is full upon us in which Prince Carni- val hoids sway and roies us with nis iniroitable sceptre of fun and folly. The “Comus,” led by Dr Korn, opened last Sunday at the Germania Meee || bly Rooms; and the “Mainzer Carnivals Verein,’’ directed by President Sauer, also held forth on the same day at Geib’s Walhalla, in Orchard street. Last evening the jolly brothers of the Arion and their mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts opened their carnivallstic extravaganzas also at the Ger- mania Assembly Kooms, in @ manner creditable to the committee of arrangements, and with undoubted success, as the unnsual Dilerity of all their guests fully proved. The committee known in Arionite terminology as the “Kleine Rath” were the princi- pal point of attraction, All the eleven gentlemen compo sing it, none without the hirsute ornament aistingotshing man from the other sex, were dressed in women’s garments of the last century, with tre- mendous Jocks, curis, huge waterfalls and the pe- cunarly modern ‘jockey hat,’ with feathers and roses, ‘They looked admirably ¢arnivalistic, and it increased the fun when their “presidentess,” Mr. Anton Menkel, declarea that they were ‘women’s rights male women.” ‘The wine card was especially interesting. Inatead of the usual names on the bottles could be found mass wine, chaplain, pastor, deacon, prelate, bishop, archbishop, cardinal, patriarch, pope, &c. Several witty and humorously sarcastic compositions, in verse und in prose, were delivered by Mr. Joseph Neustaedter ia defence of men’s rights, Mr. Rudolph Schindler in defence of women’s rights, Mr. Philip Stanfer iu favor of woman’s political and clubisu- cal combinations, Sougs were sung, and then a pause ensued of ten minutes, aller which the “Kleine Rath” reappeared a8 bishops in fall ornate Charch costume, representing the Ecumenical Coun- cll, Aud the fun proceeded to its end, Mr. C.

As waster of monies, In gorgeous costume, acted Mr. Paul Schoen. ‘The hall was handsomely decorated with wreaths of evergreens aud flowers, with drapery and comic paintings by Mr. Stoeck- harat. The large hall was crowded with the beat German society of the city, the whole ausemblage—the maie portion with their gaudy fool's caps and the ladies im evening dress—presenting @ yrand coup @oil.

The society is composed in main of the graduates of Manhattan College and the De La Salle Institute in Second street—young men of high literary culture, who have organized for the purpose of mental advance. ment. The scene in the hall was very animated, over 2,000 peopie belfg present, the major portion of Whom were of the Juvenile ik, The exercises began promptiy at half-past seven, with the over- ture, “Tivue,"” by Mozart, rendered by the band, ‘Which consists entirely of amateur performers be- longmg to the association.

It is a funda mental error to sappose that the issuing of demand notes WO be used as currency forius @ part of the ne- cessary business of banks and bankers, The Injurl- ous eifects resaiting from an indiscriminate issue of bank notes led to the separation of the issue from the banking department of the Bank of England and the suppression of the privilege in respect to ali future banks and bankers. The proper business of bankers has nothing to do with the issding of ‘paper money,” or demand noves to be used a3 money,.any more than with the metallic coinage.

Though it may not ve adimissible for governments to enter into commercial transactions or into busi- ness compeution with the public, it does not follow that it ought not to do whatever the principles i- volved mm providing the nation with an adequate supply of paper money clearly indicate as needful to be done, If the principle be once established that the government is the proper agent for providing ait kinds of money coustituting the circulating medium, und bas power to “regulate the vaiue thereof," 10 clearly follews that it ought to provide the necessary machinery for ts mavagement.
