United States mail wagons in this city
went on strike at 1880 last night. A
score Of them jumped off their wagons
when they drove to the Mail street end

lived up to- They also demand an in
crease of wages.
All Of the men are employed by the
New York Mail company, which has
stables on East 18th street. At ten

ager of the New York Mail company, and
E. j. Travis made an agreement at the
time Of the temporary settlement Of the
difficulty previously. that the matter
would be adjusted permanently Septem-
Der i. He declares that he has been un-
able to effect any settlement.
