The Striking Cabinet Makers.

l The Striking Cabinet Makers. | NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The prospect for the striking cabinet makers of Hermann's facto- ries is far from encouraging. Some of the better men returned to finish the work they had in hand when the strike commenced. They declared that they would be only too glad to remain in the shop for good, since they fully realized that MT. Hermann's proposition was excellent, but dared not stay for fear of | other strikers and trades unions. Under the l circumstances MT. Hermann decidedto wait no longer for them, and engaged several hundred men in Boston and Philadelphia, where he has branch offices. The passage of these men to this city will be paid by their employ CT, and they will arrive tomorrow. They are said to be all good men, and they will be paid thirty per cent. over the old rates of wages for the first month, and after that they will receive the increase offered the strikers from IS to 22 per cent. above the price paid pre- vious to the strike. The factory will be locked during working hours and every pre- caution taken to guard the new corners against any possible annoyances from the strikers. The strikers met again this morning and lis- tened to numbers of encouraging speeches from members of their own organization, as well as from representatives of other shops and factories. They resolved to remain firm in the position they assumed, and not to re- sume work till every one of their demands have been acceded to. Yesterday they for the first time accepted some pecuniary assist ance offer them.
 Meeting of the League Officers.
 ROCHESTER, Feb. 26.-The officers of the Base Ball League are in session at the Os- borne House in this city. The board of directors, consisting of Hurlburt, Evans, Sage, Thomer and Lodsn, met this morning and prepared report, which was presented this afternoon. The business is entirely se- cret, no reporters being allowed. It has been learned, however, that the six Western clubs will open the season by playing six games among themselves. The Eastern clubs will do the same. Eighty-four games will be played by each club, forty-two at home and the balance outside. The Eastern clubs will probably first visit their oppo- nents in the West. It is thought the schsd- uie which has already been prepared will meet with considerable opposition before being arranged satisfactorily to all parties. There is some talk that the representatives  to rsscind the legislation adopted last year preventing the manager of a club taking seat on the field where his club is playing.
 At the evening meeting an address was de- livsred by President Hurlburt on temperance, in which he argued that men would be far better players on the grounds and more high ly esteemed by the public at large if they would not touch intoxicating liquors in any shape. The following was presented and unanimously adopted:
 Resolved, That in view of the probability that any club now a member of the League forfeiting it's membership by disbandment or inability from any cause to play out its games as per schedule, committee, consist ing of President Hurlburt and Eyans are hereby appointed and fully authorized to ar range with any club in good standing to take the place vacated by the retiring club under certain restrictions and obligations to be fixed by said committee, and provided that such an arrangement does not confer membership on said club appointed or involve any change in the seasons schedule as fixed.
 All the clubs agreed to an arrangement not to negotiate with any player for the season of 1881 prior to October 23, 1880. The follow ing were selected umpires for the season Fred.
