Mr.. EDTToR:-A few words in regard to the
late strike OF the Journeymen Plasterers' Union
the public generally, as reports derogatory to
the Union have been freely circulated by our
late employers. There has been a series of
resolutions adopted by us some two weeks
ago, OF which the several employers received a
copy, warning them against employing brick
layers to do plastering, thereby infringing on
our trade.
As firm in this city has seen fit to employ
brieklayers on their work, in direct opposition
to the resolutions passed by us, we feel it our
duty to the trade generally, to resist this ag-
gression on our rights.
We are now prepared to furnish builders
and the public with any number of first class
plasterers at short notice. See advertisement
