A few of the rollers and twiSieTS, with their
employees. have resumed labor IN The tacto-
ries, but the greater part, influenced, it is said
by two or three Of their rim. leaders, still hold
off. They seldom appear upon the streets,
nut when they do they are quiet, and appear
coutented, and coolly remark when question
ed as to their intentions that they reckon
they can do without the manufacturers Is
long as the manufacturers can do without
| them. 1t is said that one of their preachers
| in his sermon on last Sunday eXhorted the
strikers to hold out TO the bitter end. In the
mean time the manufacturers seem perfectly
Indifferent about the present aspect OF affairs,
and some say. strike or no s'rlkc, that they
have no particular desire to open their iac-
tories Just now. In fact, one OF the leading
manufacturers, of his own free will and ac-
cord. closed his factory several weeks ago.

one Of the manufacturers, the figures which
show the amounts paid week before last for
one weeks work 10 nine of the roles ana

81 20. out Of which the roller or tH-ter
saves from Sl2 to ga per week after paying
those who STEM for h.p. But the more eX-
pert and industrious make much more than
this.

proposed by the Board Of Manufacturers will
