STRIKE OF ANOTHER KINDA strike has oc-
Cured, we have been told, among the stone-cut-
ters who have for some time past been SO busily
engaged in cutting out trench for the iron track
Of the city railroads. We suppose that the danger
Of being themselves struck by the sun suggested
the idea as there is but small difference said to
be between them and the Company matter Of
three cents per foot. We hope to hear Of speedy
adjustment of the difficulty asthe work is of great
Importance and should not be delayed.
