torn Nary Yard.

BosToN, Nov. 10.
About 1900 Navy Yard workmen assembled
on Bunker Hill this afternoon, when the Com
mittee of Conference with the Commodore of
the yard made report.
The report in effect, was, that the Commo-
dore said his Instructions from Washin gton
were, that the men should go to work at sun
rise, whenever there were but ten working
hours between sunrise and sunset, and he
could not go behind that order. Also, that he
had appointed a Committee to enquire into
the operations of outside yards, and commun-
icate the result to Washington. He said he
would receive such men as would come 10
work at roll-call in the morning.
The workmcn, however, decided that they
would not work, except under the hours here
tolorc constituting days work.
1t is rumored that general strike is con-
templated among the workmen in the iron
establishments at South Boston, and other
parts of the city.
