CHAPTER III-AH-H-H!!!

New York Herald, Nov. 9. Notices were put up in Higgin’s carpet factory, West Forty-third street, last night, that the force is to be reduced one-half on Saturday, throwing about 600 people out of work. The factory ha been running with a two-third force since last June, and next week it will necessarily be run by one-third of its original force. The notice has caused a good deal of consternation among the hands, as it is not known yet who will have to face the winter without work.
