The Metropolitan Gasmen-Further Par
ticulnrs OF Their Strike.

The members OF the Metropolitan Gasmens Pro-
tective Union held another meeting on yesterday,
for the purpose OF coming to definite issue in
the strike, which they have been so determinedly
Keeping up during the past four days. They are
strictly SILENT however, when requested to give
information as to what measures they arc going to
adopt, while great Jealousy prevails among them,
because the company have succeeded In employing
new hands in their place. Groups OF police are
stationed at the corners OF the adjoining streets
and around and within the gas works to prevent
any riot that might be likely to occur. The old
hands are under the impression that the company
cannot get along with the new and inexperienced
men they manage to employ daily. They think
there are certain portions OF the machinery which
1t will take some time to understand, and which
cannot be entrusted to them, and, labor
ing under this opinion, they continue in
their unrelenting determination OF purpose. The
company, on the other hand, seem quite confident
they will be able to get along but, OF course under
greater difficulties and ut the risk of making, II

THE STRIKE IN JERSEY.

The statement published in some papers yester-
day that some of the machnsts the Erie Rail

porter at jersey City yesterday afternoon

OF the kind as yet. The reporter called about
forty Of the employees at the depot in Jersey CITY, and
they spoke in the highest terms of Colonel Berthoud
the division superintendent and Mr.. Onderdonk,
the depot superintendent both Of whom
they said had shown so kindly q dis.
position towards the employees that
strike would not be necessary. When some OF the
men complained last year of the low rate Of wages
they received Messrs Berthoud and Onderdonk ad-
United the justice OF the claim and had the wages
increased. About thirty of the men employed in
the machine shop in Jersey City are in favor OF
strike, but as they have been overrued no action
has been taken.

The strikers decks are clearing. All cumbr0us
and useless societies are going out Of existence,
either sinking from sight altogether or returning,
nike the pianoforte and coach makers, to the open
arms Of the employers. They are received on the
old terms, and their humiliation made as little
apparent as possible.
And now there comes into view q new organlZa-
ti0n powerful alike in numbers and resources, that
promises to guide the movement to a broad and
solid success. The history OF the birth Of this
ciety is worth preserving.
In the fifth week OF the labor movement there
was moment when, as already noticed in the
HERALD, crisis came and nothing but defeat and
dissolution apparently in store for the unions
There was no central rallying point or controlling
lnnuence, with the single exception OF the German
Cabinet Makers League, which was bound up in
ton. Unions ike that Of the pen and pencil case
favor, abandoned their efforts to obtain a
reduction OF hours or an increase of wages and re-
turned to the factories There were dissatisfaction
and gloom In every quarter. AT this moment u
we'll known comic singer, Johnny Roache, metal
worker in Roach's iron works conceived a brilliant
idea. He gathered about him half q dozen fellow
TO hall organizing meetings ana singing
reform songs Of his own composition, with
humorous hits at the employers and the Old
system OF things. Reaches movement was q sue
cess. He founded the EightlHour League OF Iron
and Metal Workers, that now, at the expiration Of
two weeks has membership OF over ten thousand,
with funds at their disposal amounting to nearly
thTec-quarters OF million dollars, and weekly
revenue OF nearly seven thousand dollars, which is
daily increasing.
The committees Of this League are canvassing the
New England States, the manufacturing towns of
New York and Pennsylvania and the cities lying
between here and Washington holding mass meet
ings nightly and forming branches at every p0nt.
There be little doubt that the immediate future
Of the eight-hour movement rests In their hands.
