The Striking WOrkmen at Peck Rro- thers' and HI. Hooker & Co.'s Still Out, and Liable to Stay out for Some Tfme-Carriage Body Makers, and
 Other Notes.
 At Peck Brothers shop the striking work men were paid off during the day Saturday, and the moulding room shut down. The whole shop will also shut down, after 8 small job in the finishing room is completed, for indefinite time. A current rumor is that Peck Brothers may close their shops here, as they interested in other concerns else where in the same line of business
 Saturday morning the striking carriage makers of Henry Hooker & Go. held a meet ing in Turn Hall and voted to stay out until satisfactory settlement of their grievances had been made.
 It is now estimated that there are about 800 men in the city out on a strike, and that there is $8, 00o week less earned in the city l The Candee rubber shop closes on Thursday 1 next as usual in the spring of the year. The shop will probably be closed several weeks There are about 1 200 persons on the shops pay rolls.
 Rumors of impending strikes at other man. ufacturing establishments were current Sat urday, among them one that the wood work CTS at Bigelow & O.. s boiler shop were in- tendlng soon to strike Tn sympathy with the carriage body makers
 The striking carriage body makers receive weekly allowance from the general associa- tion of body makers, to help them to hold out. This does not apply to cases where members well fixed or able to do with out the allowance, as is the case with good many of the strikers.
 A prominent clergyman of this city states that he was called to the house of one of the striking carriage makers few days since and found the wife sick having been bed ridden for number of years. The husband had gone to Boston to seek employms lesv- I ing the wife in care of small son, because ! owing to the strike he could not afford to | employ nurse to care for his invalid wife Thus the strike had taken from the wife a husbands needed care, attention and sup- port.
 A COURIER reporter met a journeyman l joiner on Saturday when the following con versation took place:
 Joiner-Do you know what some of these striking body makers are doing! Reporter-No, what is it?
 Joiner-Well, I'll tell you You know they can use hammer, saw and plane, and l some of them have been around getting work of boss joiners and are working for fifty or seventy-fve cents less per day than the price paid to regular joiners. They pretty set of labor unionists, they are. Strike for more pay themselves and while waiting for deci- slon go Go Work and cut under prices in an other trade. don't, of course, in this wish to say all the carriage body makers, because there are many very honorable and estimable men in their ranks.
 Reporter-Well, that is rather queer, that's fact. But are you sure this is true Joiner-Surea Of course am sure. Iknow who the men are, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves. I tell you they will l hear something drop one of these days. By the way, how does the COURIER boycott come ona We'll, it won't amount to any thing. tell you that sensible men are not going to be led around by the nose by that Printers union. The COURIER is treating it's
 men fairly and all sensible persons see it and they will not support such an outrage as is
 attempted by the printers
