Riverhead, L. January 23 A bill has been received by the Board of Supervisors from the Kings County Penitentiary for the board at that institution of every tramp sent there from Suffolk County. The bill was returned, the Penitentiary authorities being referred to a chapter in the laws of 1885, which provides for the payment by the state of the board of tramps sent to the penitentiary. The bill charged the county $2.50 per week for the board of its tramps, and it was a big surprise to the local officials. One of the Supervisors said: "If Suffolk has to pay the board of those tramps, they might better be sent to the County Jail, where we pay less per week and get something in return.

Stone breaking here will cure the tramps as quickly as work at the penitentiary." The matter has been referred to Counselor Timothy M.

BtmR ALICE ATHERTON, in Her Laughing Songs 10 Big Acts. Jamaica's Firemen, Smarting Under Alleged Unfair Usage, Threaten to Resign. NO COAL NO SUPPLIES, NO CASH Why the City Was Compelled to Send $4,000 Worth of Material to the Woodhaven Department. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. January 23 The volunteer firemen of Jamaica are feeling highly dis contented over their treatment by the city authorities and are discussing the question of resigning their situations.

The only considerations that have held the men together thus far are the social features of the company, life and exemption from jury duty. There are seven companies in Jamaica, with about 180 men: "Woodhull, Excelsior, Fosdick, Distler and Resolute hose companies with 25 to 30 men each, Atlantic Hook and Ladder, with 35 men, and Continental Hook and Ladder, with 20 men. Chief Tully sent out from Brooklyn last spring an inspector to examine as to the amounts necessary to maintain the several companies and a report was made that $1,200 was all that was necessary for the Jamaica Fire Department. This amount small as it was, has never been expended. A coal bill of over a hundred dollars is stiir unpaid and a bill for the services of twenty five or thirty men who stayed in the fire houses day and night during the blizzard, under orders from the department, at wages of $2 per day each, is still unpaid.

It is not known whether 'the gas bills are paid. No money has been expended for apparatus of any sort since the city took possession of the fire houses and property. Ths discontent of the firemen has been largely augmented by the action of the city in recently 'turning over the meeting room of Ex selsicr Hose Company on Union street to the Health Department, compelling the members of this company to take up their carpets and remove all their furniture down stairs in the apartment occupied by the apparatus. Under the provisions of an act passed by the legislature last winter the Fire Department of Woodhaven receives $4,000 per annum and the city has furnished It this year all in new apparatus. The volunteer fire department in that place owns the fire houses occupied by the several companies.

This department consists of a chemical engine company at Aqueduot, a union hose and hock and ladder company located on Broadway, a union hose and hook and ladder company at Ozone Park, a similar organization at Union Course and the Lalance Grosjean fire brigade at Woodhaven. Last week the several companies of the Woodhaven Fire Department received from the city a large supply of first class new hose, galvanized iron pails, rubber pails, axes, rubber gloves, smoke glasses and other necessary articles, the bill for which amounted to within a few cents of the $4,000 necessary to be appropriated under the law. The au therl'ties left nothing to be expended by the men. The firemen allege, however, that they are satisfied at the generous provision made for them. The Richmond Hill firemen allege that they have received all the coal and supplies that they need.

The village trustees before consolidation made liberal provision for all the companies of the village. Engine' Company No. 1 has a large two story house on Spruce street, near Atlantic avenue, with one of the finest and latest designed steamers and a fine hose cart. Forty five men belong to this company and the officers are overrun with new applications. Hook and Ladder Company No.

1, with twenty five men, is accommodated by the use of the first floor of the large village hall building, now used by 'the police on the upper floor; Hose Company No. 1 has a new house on Jefferson avenue, near Broadway; Pecore Hose has a fine new house on Chestnut street, near Jamaica road. The above companies are all well supplied with apparatus. Columbia Fire District, between Jamaica and Richmond Hill, is also provided with a small house and plenty of apparatus.

Approximately 10 Per Cent, of the Working People Organized Competition From Immigrants. Albany, N. January 23 The annual report of John T. McDonough, as Commissioner of Labor Statistics, shows that the number of labor organizations which reported to him in the third quarter of 1898 was 1.0S7, as compared with 1,009 in the corresponding quarter of 1897. The increase was principally in the building, Iron, and steel and clothing trades.

The total membership of all the unions at the close of the third quarter of 189S was 163,515 men and 7,505 women. From March 31, 1897, to September 30, the number of organized wage workers increased 20 per cent. "A question of Interest," McDonough says, "is as to what proportion of all the wage workers of the state are organized. There are no statistics giving the total number of pereons in the statu who could ba classed as 'wage But making an estimate from the statistics of occupations in the state in the eleventh census of the United States, and allowing for ihe increase in population since 1890, it is probable that the proportion of all the working people in the state who arc organized is at present not far from 10 per cent." The report gives the following table, showing the number and percentage of unemployed persons among the members of iahar organizations for the seven quarters from January, 1897, to September, 1898: Unemploy.

McDonough reports that in view of numerous complaints from latwr organizations as to the adverse effect of immigration on the trades in this state, the bureau determined early in the year to ascertain the facts from those directly affected, through their unions or accredited representatives. Toward the close of the first quarter there was sent to every trade union in the state a schedule containing these questions: (1) "Has your trade been affected by immigration during the past six years?" (2) If so, how many of your members have been displaced by immigrant's?" (3) "Have wages in your trade been reduced by reason of competition of immigrants?" Responses came from 1,039 organizations, having a membership of 774 unions, with 105,889 members, replying that they were not affected, while 205 organizations, with a membership of 70.000, reported that they were detrimentally affected by immigrant labor. This competition was felt by the workers in 85 trades, or 45 per cent, of the covered by the research, and its influence was observed to some extent in every general industry except that of glassworkhig. It was reported by 154 organizations that in six years 17.322 members were displaced by immigrants, and 97 unions, having a membership of 22,318, declared that the term of employment of these members was materially lessened, with a resultant decrease in watte earnings, by the surplusage of labor brought about by newly arrived aliens overcrowding the trades. The report shows that during the year ended December 31, 1898, 5,100 persons registered as applicants for positions at the free employment office maintained by the department in New York City.

The greatest demand upon the bureau was for women as general houseworkers. and it was impossible to supply all the calls for servants of this class. "The moral effect of this bureau on the intelligence agencies of the city," says Mr. McDonough, "has been to force many of them to now advertise that thoy 'supply help free to Nevertheless from time to time, complaints have reached us of unfair treatment from peoplo who have paid fees in these offices to secure employment. order to eradicate stich practices I would recommend that the power to grant and revoke licenses for intelligence agencies be vested in the Commissioner."
