THE MASONS' STRIKE AT HALIFAX. —Thirteen
out of about thirty master builders in Halifax have signed
the agreement for a reduction in the time of the masons'
labour from ten to nine hours a day. With two or three
exceptions, these masters have large works in hand, and
.
they are anxious to push them forward. Those masters
who refuse to sign the agreement are likely to be awkwardly
fixed, for nearly all the men lately in
their employment
have left the town, or are preparing to do so, to enter upon
other Jobs.—lfanchoter .Examiner.
