New York, April 20.—A large
ber of boilermakers in this city have
struck for an advance in wages, and
is believed that the strike will extend
all of the steel and iron works in- this
city, be instituted and that a similar movement will
in Philadelphia, Chester,
Baltimore and Richmond.
- The trouble is said to grow out of
fact that many boilermakers are em¬
ployed by yards, the government at the
ent navv and are paid higher
wages than are received by the employes
of private works. The government men
also work a less number of hours a day.
The operators of these private works
claim that they cannot compete with the
governm.'rit in the matter of wages and
hours of labor.

A General Demand Upon the State for
Increased PenMons.
Charleston, 8. C., April 26.—The
federate veterans in this state want big¬
ger pensions. For the past two years
the state has paid a pension of $5 a
month to disabled soldiers or their in¬
digent widows. This costa the state
about $60,000 a year. The following ad¬
dress is now in circulation through
various counties, and will, ft is thought,
have its effect upon the nomination of
candidates for the legislature. •' 1
To the -Disabled ex-Confederate Soldiers ot
graceful neglect by our utterly
to excite the wrath and disgust not only
yourselves, but of every good and true man
in the state. • Now I say to you, assemble,
after due notioe, at your respective county
seats on the first Monday in June next
and act on tbe following or similar resolu¬
tions:
First—That will nominate ' of
you one
your number who is best fitted to advocate
your claims before the coming legislatures
who will ask that the state will grant an
annual appropriation of $150 to every ex-
Confederate soldier of the state who lost an
arm or leg.
Second—That it grant to each disabled
soldier the sum of $i(X) annually.
Third—That we will not support any can¬
didate for the legislature who is not heartily
in sympathy with the resolution.
We assert that the plea that the state is
unable to provide as above is untrue. It
never was and still less so now. Is there s
southern state that has not done more for
its disabled soldiers f Is there one that has
made such rapid and increased progress in
the number of its railroads, phosphate and
other manufactories ? From the present
outlook within a very few years these
sources will reduce our taxes so they will
be as moderate os those of any state in tbe
