The Erect Of the New York Strikes.


Strikes sometimes hnre solution not look
ed Tor by either the employer or the employe.
We have recent example, The masons and
plusterers have recently struck for higher
wages and shorter hours, demanding, at the.
SAME time, some regulations respecting the
manner Of conducting the trade, The build
eEs were obliged to yield, but limited their
new contracts as much as possible. The re-
suit is great decline IN the price of building
materials. Brick Is three dollars per thou
sand lower. Lath have declined from siI dol
lars to four dollars per thousand, aud lime
has declined from two dollars to dollar and
twenty-five cents per barrel-
Thus, instead OF cxacttng anything from
those for whom building is done, Or dlnlln-
Ishing the profits Of the builder (tsho has
probably got an advance On his contract BY
pleading the strike), the party Injured Is the
poorly paid class, who 20 into the WOODS and
ret out lumber, who make brick, or who burn
lime, The practical result Of the strike Of
The inasons has been IS If they and the cur
pcnters were each receiving three dollars per
day; the masons. BY demanding and re-
ceiyfpg four dollars, should compel the car
peutera to work for two dollars Per day. we
hare another illustration. The molders
about Troy have been standing ont on
strike recently, during which pig iron de-
cliped seven dollars per ton, and coal two
dollars per tou-the result Of which will be.
that the miners will ultimately be compelled
to accept lower wages. Beyond certain
cost, the building Of houses and tho con-
sfruction OF machinery Is checked when
the utmost cost Is reached, the strike of one
class Of operatives works injury only to an
otner cynss.
