| SrEuBExvILLK, April 15.-The difficulty
| between the journeymen tailors OF this CITY
and the merchant tallors, which resulted
/ in the inauguration of strike on the Ersl
| Monday of this month. seems TO De nc
nearer an end now than it was week ago.
| M. +. Miller has signed the scale, but SO
| far all the other merchant tailors refuse 70
| do so. They claim that the prices are ex-
orbitant, out the men, on the other nano,
say that they are fair. Tne mercnant
| tailors have combined together and are
sending their work away to New York and
| Cincinnati to be make and say they Will
never give it to the men. A comparison
of the new scale with that OF last year
shows that the only increase made is ior
| fine worsted goods, fine French casslmeres,
and other goods of like nature naVllg
been placed in the same class they were Ia
before. The men say that the principal
opposition comes from the fact that since
the formation of the union the merchant
tailors are debarred from having SUITS
made at low figures during the dull season,
and that they didn't want any scale at all.
The Elks, as an order, has become very
popular in this city. Since u mas moved

meets once week instead OF semi-weekly,
as was formerly the custom, and at the reg

three candidates were infatuated ana three
more will be initiated on next wednesday
