Settlement Meetings of the Packing
Box Makers Bakers, Granite Cut

To-day the strikers enter upon the ninth week OF
their crusade for reduction OF the hours OF labor
The record OF the past week has not been OF a ma
ture to encourage the men who have so long, per-
slstenty and bravely stood out against the capt.
tasts, the result OF the weeks movements having
been on the whole somewhat unfavorable. Yester-
day was one OF the duest days at the various places
OF meeting witnessed yet, and though still assert
ing their determination to hold out to the bitter
end, feeling or uneaSineSs Ia beginning to be
felt, and considerable impatience manifested about
the maj result The employers feel no better than
the men; their interests have greatly suffered and
are still suffering from the strike, and they are
anxious for compromise on fair and honorable
terms.
The master marble cutters will resume the ten
hour system which has caused the workmen to en-
gage In another strike, but with slim prospects OF
success. Some of the furniture makers are also
returning to the old plan asserting that they pre-
fer complete ideness to the present ruinons state

two thousand dollars among those who were be-
ieved to be really In need, the amount given being
In proportion to the necessity OF the Many Of
the workmen. who have been strike for six
weeks have not applied for relief and have not re-
ceved a dollar from the League.
IL ~ 10 be hoped that the close OF the present

interminable strike and see the relations between
The interests OF the city and the entire country

The Granite Cutters.

~ . meeting OF the granite cutters yesterday the
delegates of previous committees We're discussing
the present standing of the association. Mr.. OSul-
livan delegate from Westerly, wished to say some
thing in reference to his intercourse ana business
with Mr.. Patterson. Mr.. PATTERSON some time ago
charged the westerly men on strike as being the
cause Of his losing $4,000 charges, &c. The organl-
cation wish the public to understand that he
brought the strike upon himself and that the dam
ages and expenses were incurred solely on his own
account, taking as he did, unskillul w0rkmen into
his employment and paying them more than
his contract could allow for the special purpose OF
keeping them at work while the Westerly men were
on strike. They consider, however, that he full
filed his duty with the building committee OF the
Masonic Temple and eyculpate him from all blame
in that direction. While saying this they only
wished he would deal fairly with the granite cut
tiers themselves. They wish not to interlerere with
Mr.. BattesOn's business damage 1t in the least,
but to settle II possible the difficulty between him
and them, and on this account announce their
readiness to meet at any time the gentlemen OF the
building committee, which he was ut liberty to
select for that purpose,

The street Car StnbIemen.

The strike OF the stablemen employed on the
Broadway street car line still continues but owing
to the prompt measures which had been taken to
supply their places the inconvenience is not so
great as 1t would otherwise have been. The
Superintendent has employed new men to take the
places of those who have left or work and did not
find 1t very difficult to procure them. On the
Seventh avenue line the stablemen also still on
the lockout. The conductors and drivers still
performing their work, Notwithstanding the
Influences that have been brought to bear
upon them to force them to act to the
contrary New men have been advertised
for by the company to supply the vacant places,
and the company absolutely refuses to take back
any men who have left OF work. On the Sixth
avenue line the new men are still at work. and no
attempt has been made by the strikers to interfere
with them, or modest them I'm the discharge OF their
duties On the Eighth avenue and the other lines
everything goes on as usual, and, Judging from APP
pearances 1t IL not likely there will be any strike.
50 far as the eght-hour movement Is connected
with the street car employees IL cannot he pro-
nounced a success, and there Is no likelihood that
lie will be so.

The Marble Cutters.

The majority OF the members OF the Marble Cut.
ters' Protective Association met last evening at
their regular meeting hall, on Third avenue, nc
eight O'Clock p. NJ, for the purpose OF taking into
consideration the late proposed design of reunion
with the other stone-cutting organizations and OF
taking measures to prolong their strike until they
obtain the eight-hour system from the marble
bosses throughout the city, Though the meeting
was altogether private enough could be cleaned
from few reasonable members to understand how
determined the men still are. They have now been
six weeks on strike, notwithstanding the numerous
disadvantages they have already endured. They az
firm that common laboring work Is more acceptable
to them than to work Mt their trade longer than
eight hours per diem: hence they have sent very
many OF their organization to work In other States
throughout the Union under far different and
much more unfavorable auspices. The bosses of
the marble cutters, on the other hand, have en-
ployed very many OF the organization according to
the eight-hour system. The organization therefore
reasonably cxcupates every member who either
publicly or privately can secure employment ac-
cording TO the eighthour system, but express them
selves most determinedy in continuing the strike
should their demands not be fairly compiled with.

win be called upon this year, 1t is reported, by
the Board Of State Assessors, TO pay the sum OF
900 for state tax, against 81 ,056 216 raised
last year. This is owing to the fact that the rate OF
tax for State purposes has been increased from
six mills to one cent per dollar The Brook
lyn authorities claim that this is decidedly
unjust and out Of all proportion, and they will,
therefore appeal to the state Assessors for reduc
ton OF said rate.
