THE “HOLD UP” OF LABOR. | To-morrow night at the Murray Hill Lyceum the workingmen of the city will meet to protest against the “hold up” by the Board of Alder- ‘men of franchises for great public improvements, The meeting was ‘called by the Central Federated Union, and will be addressed by Comp- troller Grout, John S, Crosby, ex-Senator John Ford and Alfred J. Boul- . The Aldermen seem to have overlooked the highly important fact that in “holding up” the franchises of the Pennsylvania Railroad and er corporations they are also holding back work and wages for thou- of New York's laboring men. This is a very serious matter. The extraordinary prosperity of the Bty during the past few years has been due in large measure to the con- uction of the Subway and other great public works. To continue and this prosperity further vast improvements are planned, Any- which delays them hurts labor more than it does capital, The latter yorks and earns while it waits, as the former cannot. ‘The ‘powers that be” will act with simple prudence in heeding this Three incidents in the day's news give encouragement to the people The Grand Jury at Chicago has indicted T, J. Connors, general tendent for Armour & Co., for tampering corruptly with a wit- ‘ess, a former employee of the company, whose testimony was sought Jn the action against the combine, The Beef Trust fooled Commissioner Gariield and ls now trying to thwart the criminal prosecution.
