New York, June 9. Considerable mer
riment has been caused by a strike of the
paupers in a county alms house just out
side of Jersey City The men detailed to
act as bakers organized and elected a
walking delegate who notified the coun
ty board, in charge of the institution
that his fellows would not knead the
alms house bread until their names were
put on the payroll with the attendants
and other employes.
The delegate explained to the commit
teemen that the bakers were entitled to
pay, because, unlike many other pau
pers, they do not desert the institution
during the summer months to recuper
ate at the seashore and in the mountains,
but remain at their duties in the bake-
shop and work faithfully for the county.
The committees reply to the strikers
was that they would be put to work In
the stone quary if they did not return to
work in the bakeshop.
