isfaction which existed among the employees at the
Brooklyn Navy-Yard, in consequence of some irreg-

men held meeting in the Navy Park, and resolved

thew would neither work themselves, nor allow any
one else to do 90. If the men have any legitimate
ground for complaint, the authorities would no douot
nav every attention to the matter If 1t were properly
represenied 20 them; but if the employees take the
law into their own hands, as they have resolved TO
do, they will be sorry for 1t.
