went on a strike about two weeks ago for

for 50 % per day, some Of the employers
paying the adyan e, and others still hold
ing out, and saying they will not pay il. !
cannot state what the result will be, but my
best wishes are with them, for they Ger
tainly earn three dollars per day at their
work then they only have work about nine
months out Of the twelve, which reduces
their wages considerably below three dol
lars per day The employers should not
object to paying the advance ON account d
present contracts, for they had been mott

NEW YORK, May 25, 1873.
RENEWAL or THE EIGHT HOUR sTEUGGLE.
The labor element Of the metropolis is
again in a commOtion. This time it seems
to be fair fight between the jlurneymen
carpenters and their employers. You will
remember that this time one year ago the
carpenters struck for eight hours, and after
some resistance upon the part Of the bosses,
the eight hours WAS conceded reluctantly
by them They determined, however. that
it should not last long, for, said they,
4" as soon as we have the opportunity
thoroughly 70 organize We will crush you
strikers and you will be forced TO e. back
to the ten-hour system" Following the
carpenters strike we're the other great Ia
Dor agitatlons, which lasted far into the
summer. Trade was paralyzed and build
ing was brought to a standstill. Contract
ors we're unwilling to undertake Jobs while
the remuneration for labor was 50 unset
tied, and the result was the discharge Of
about one third Of the journeymen from
every shop.
PRLPARING POR THE STRIKE
The carpenters having secured the city
for employment, were in many instances
compelled to accept ten-hour work and
last fall many employers, seeing their op-
pOrtunity. forced the men baca to the Old
system. The winter Was a hard one for the
workingmen, and early IN the spring the
carpenters found only about one-thlrd u
their number working On the eight-houT
Y system.
In March the employers having perfected
\ their organization, voted not to hire Jour
neymen for eight hours a day The work
ingmen began to prepare for the struggle
4 They secured the cooperation Of the Anal.
gamated, who are backed by the great
English organization, having 81, 900 mem
bers, and $500, 900 sterling IN their treas
| ury They counted their own money auC
found $50, 900 IN their treasury, and Z. UOt
names on the societies rolls, and believing
that the time for action had come, On Fri.
day evening unanimously voted 70 quit
work to-day and not TO resume until the
eIght-hour victory 10 ours.
The struggle will be long and severe
The strikers and the employers are thor
oughly organized The former, however,
are unanimous, but the employers are dl

hour system, and earnestly opposed tn,
