mere intelligent very reflective. and along South
street there were scores OF gatherings earnestly
discussing this the latest phase Of the strike. The
result oil these discussions, In many insran ces,
was the conviction that 1t didn't pay to be-
long to such union; and II the leaders
wouldn'r allow them to 90 to work at once they
will throw or oil allegiance to the organization
and do the oest they can IN obtaining employ
ment. Beside this fact there was but little new
along the East River yesterday. The police stlll
guarded every dock where work was going on,
but no outrages occurred, save one, that could be
learned.
At pier No. co. Messrs. G. Il. Mallory CO., bust
ness OF loading and discharglng was very brisk.
The firm have three steamers to load this week
and the same number to discharge, but they ex-
press their ability TO be time IN every case, as
the non-society men are working very salts
iactorily.
Messrs. TapscotJ Co. Will commence work this
morning with outsiders II their old hands do not
then return, and believe they will have no trouble
in getting their ships away as the business de-
mands.
Messrs. snow h Burgess will also begin work to-
day, and 1t Is the opinion of gentleman In their
employ, fully posted in the matters of the strike,
that the union will 'spir into pieces before many
days" The nrm anticipate but little trouble In
the future.

ana badly beaten. The assault temporarily
stopped work, but 80 soon as another foreman
was procured It went on as before. 1t IS about
time the union men learn that interference with
those who do not belong to the organization is
the worst possible thing tnat they can do.
Work was also going on In loading the Mobile,
New Orleans. Jacksonville and other Southern
packets by nOn-society men.
