movement Of tho American Federation OF
Labor will be taken. 30 far As outward indi-
cations 20 everything Is quiet enough in the
labor world, but beneath the seeming indlher-

element united with vague feeling OF uncer-
tainty as to the results Of the struggle now to

the carpenters and jolners, and the employers.
In New York city very little will occur to-day

who arc to act hero will continue at their work
as heretofore and will take no part In any OF
the demonstrations In favor Of the eight-hour
movement.

lployors have agreed to concede tie eight hour
day. but have refused to recognizable carpen-

dorsed by that OF the employers. This act is
entirely different from that OF the rnions In
other parts Of the country whore the question
OF recognition does not come up at all in this
city. for instance the delegates OF the United
Brotherhood and the Amalgamated Society
treat with every one Of the employers iudlvid-
ually. and are Indifferent to the question OF
recognition. So long as the employer will
agree to pay the present price for day Of
eight hours he may do as he pleases, say these
