BRooELYS, N. Y, April 28.-There ls
no percsp,ible change 10 the strike at the
sugar re6neries either st Green Point Or

closed, and no attempt is being msee at
resuming operations. The strikers are
gathered in knots on the streets near the
warehouses and factories quietly discussing
the situation. Their red ribbons are con-
spicuously displayed on their coat lappelS
and the determined expression which their
faces wear leaves no doubt Of their inten-
ZION to fight to the bitter end. The manu-
facturess, on the other hand, appear to be
confident that the men cannot hold cut
much longer. Another week, said MIR
