in the district were going out to do wash
ing to eke out their means OF existence.

still remain idle, with the exception of Ret-
cham & Co 8 yards, where seventy five to
one hundred men are at work, and at
Spty's yards, where there is light force
employed The lumbermen generally will
not concede the eight hour demand. Sew
ersl squads Of heavily armed police are pa
trolling the entire district, and preventing
the sssemblage of crowds just as was done
Yesterday. There is no violence or die
order reported from any section. McCor-
mick's police guard has been reduced to
FIVE. The sash aud door men and other
factories are running as usual.
