MORE WORDS OF APPROVAL. Many More Testimontals I'm Support of she Courierss POsftioR-Words From Many Quarters In Hearty En. dorsement.
 The position of the COURIER in regard to the demand made upon it to turn out faith ful employees receives many more words ot approval from our citizens and many like testimonials have been received in writing through the mail.
 Said Dr. Harwood yesterday to COURIER representative: Certainly I will give my opinion. I say freely that my sympathies are with the position taken by the COURIER and think that everybody's are. With re- gard to the present labor troubles here and elsewhere would say on general principles that think every just minded man sympa- thizes with every man who does not receive 8 fair days pay for fair days work, and there are no doubt many heartless and un- is no doubt also that the best workingmen stand in their own light when they demand equal pay for days work for all other men at their trade. It is obvious that superior workman or fast workman who makes such demand abdicates his superior position and places himself on equality with the drones and the incompetent workman. Dr. liar wood here incidentally cited Philadelphia as 8 city where strikes among workingmen are few and the general condition of large num- bers of its workingmen is easy comparative Iy, there being so large proportion of them owning their own little and pleasant homes. Continuing he said: have no censure for employers who are just, considerate and gen. erous, and believe workingmen should have fair pay. The constitution of the United States and the laws afford to all men the same chance to get on in the world. The same high authority accords to all men free dom of opinion, and no dictation that in- fringes this freedom of choice is permissible. make these statements hastily, but you are at liberty to use them.
 workingman said: am of the opinion that no one will dispute that the spirit of dietation, as in the case of the COURIER, is wrong. Workingmen see the point readily and they object most heartily to the forcing of one set of men out of their places to make room for others, and I would say that here in New Haven we have employers whom it is & pleasure to work for. For instance, could
 
 shops when they don't know whether they can sell it or not, being determined to give their men work As long as they possibly can. Then they keep their men in when having applications from equally good workmen ~ho are out of work and would work for less They do not cut down men when it would be to their interest in a money point of view to do SO. and when many would think it no more than business like to make Q cut down.
 Judge L. E. Munson-The COURIER is right, and having nobly run up its flag and nailed it to the masthead, stand by it.
 If the other city papers would endorse the COURIER platform, it would be vastly for their interests and the interests of the peo- pie in the long run.
 When the political fight was going on be- tween President Johnson and Secretary of War Stanton, Senator Sumner telegraphed to Stanton Stick" and Stanton telegraphed back to Sumner 'tStuck," and the country applauded the result.
 The people now, irrespective of political afinities, say to the COURIER stick, and let the COURIER respond back stick, and the people will applaud the decision.
 Said Police Commissioner Hart: The posi- ton and attitude of the COURIER is just and comments itself to all fair minded men. The dictating to employers whom they shall or shall not employ infringes the rights of freemen.
 Rev. Father McKeown, pastor of the Church of the Sacred Heart, said: agree with both Father Russell and Father Mulhol- land in this matter, and it would be very un- just to turn out your old and faithful en- ployes because men who would not let them join their union want their places.
 Rev. Dr. Beardsley of St. Thomas church said: Stand firm. am an upholder of law and order and don't believe in strikes and boycotting, and in me dictating whom or what men the COURIER or any other firm shall employ.

 NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 25, 1886. To the Editors of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Gentlemen-I am of the opinion that every fair minded person will denounce boycott on your paper, under the prevailing circum- stances, as great injustice and imposi- ton upon "human rights" The demand or rather the tyrannical dictation to discharge from your establishment men who have been faithful employees for years, for no oth- reason than that of being "non-Typo- graphical union men," is against the laws of humanity as well as against the laws of the statute books. The writer of this himself has men in his employ who have faithfully performed their duties for nearly twenty three years and they have found an honor and I should feel just as indignant as the was demanded or dictated to discharge such men for such an unwarranted reason.
 Yours truly,
 WM ScHo1JHoRN
