Strikers on Top.
NEyg York, July 21.-About 1000 brick
layers, 8, 800 laborers and 1000 hod-hoisting
engines and trainers struck work this morn
ing, because their employers refused to
grant their demand that nine hours shall
constitute a days work instead of ten.
The employers. who denied the request,
say they can get other men to take their
places, and whether they can or not, it
will be but few days when the men will be
willing to return under the old terms. The
bosses who granted the nine hours think
the others foolish, as they will have to
Weld in the end. AS fast as men strike
they are reported at the headquarters of
the respective Unions. About 35 en-
ployers have allowed men to work ON their
owl terms. Hugh Malone, who has
charge of the erection of the new Ex-
change, says the building trade is very
lively and he does not think the boss
builders can afford to have their men 60
on a strike for any length of time, without
real loss. Nearly all the large builders
will grant the demand. The strikers
claim they can stand it longer than their
employers can, and will hold out six
months. 1t is reported that many job
men, not 10 minutes before, had been told
to GO to work again. A large number of
bosses held out till noon, then yielded,
thus leaving not over 1000 men on strike.
