Strikes I'm New York.
The strike OF horse-shoers and stablemen
on our city railroads is about ended, without
the increase of pay demanded. Third ave-
nue., where the strike began, reports full
force Of men. The Second avenue line has
all the men needed, paying 81 25 instead of
81, and employing some of the workmen |
from the Third avenue line who demanded |
50 80. The Belt line is also supplied at |
81 20 for horseshoers and 81 25 for stable
men. The Ferty-second and Grand street |
ferry line is still somewhat short of horse
shoers, but the places of strikers are gradu-
ally being filed. On other lines trouble |
seems virtually over for the present.
