elsewhere in to-day's Gazette, the master car

Friday night to consider the request OF the jour
neymen carpenters for an increase OF wages after
the lst proximo. Several of the master carpen-
ters who have been conversed with on the sub.
iect express their belief that the request will
not be granted. They acknowledge that con-
sidering the pay Of other mechanics the request
is by no means unreasonable, but say that the
scarcity of work will compel them, in few
days, to discharge some of those they now cm-
pluy even at the present low wages.
