BROOKLYN STRIKES.

The proprietors OF livery stables have determined
to pay their drivers, who have been strike since
Saturday last, $13. This is not agreeable, as the
men say they will not mount the box again for a
fraction less than $14 per week. 1t is highly proba
bable that the employers will give in, the pres
sure brought to bear in favor of the strikers in this
business by the public is very great in consequence
Of the inconvenience experienced in obtaining
vehicles. Coaches for funerals have been largely
employed from New York. The bosses are losing
money hourly.
The mousse carpenters are coming to terms in
Brooklyn, II the statements OF employers to be
relied upon. The carpenters will go to work in
several shops on Monday next at ten hours for
per day.
The 0ilcloth manufacturing strikers have resumed
work under the ten-hour system.
The journeyman BARRIERS of Brooklyn want their
employers to "let up'' on the hours of labor. They
now shave sixteen hours In some Shops and
threaten to throw aside the soap suds and and
hack the razor blade unless their employers call
twelve hours days work on and after Monday

COMMUNICATIONS ON THE STRIKE.
The Ten Hour Men Rise to Rebut.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
VIII you Kindly allow space in your columns, to
bring before the public the following In behalf Of
the mechanics who do not favor the present strikesG
In the first place, we insist upon our right to
work any number OF hours, at any price which we
may see fit to agree upon with our employers and
deny the right OF ny body Of men, who
wages to prevent us by intimidation, violence or
any other means from prosecuting our legitimate
calngs and gaining support for our families In
fringement OF our privileges is now attempted by
the "eight-hour" men, who, while arrogating to
themselves the liberty OF working the number OF
hours they desire, refuse US the same
OF hours we wish-and would force us by threats
and violence to submit to their despotism, des-
polling US OF our rights as American citizens and
the constitution OF the United States
Sec0nd-We would urge employers TO organize,
presenting firm resistance to the awless bands
now threatening the destruction OF their factories
n eight hours Is not ceded, and to take such
measures that those who wish to work on the old
system may be e1ectuay protected from violence.
Thfrd-The object OF the present strike, to every
two hours, ostensbly to be employed in cultivatng
the mind and acquiring better education. But
alasi no one acquainted with the laboring classes
OF this city, mostly composed Of immigrants OF low
jOrity OF cases, the only additional education they
will receive will be learned In the school OF the
liquor stores, and bring added distress TO their
families.
Fouth-Should the butchers bakers, tailors and
other similar trades be successful in carrying out
