The young boys employed at the Glass-house as "enders," became very indignant at the proposed reduction of ten cents a day on their wages, yesterday, and conducted a strike. They threw down their tools and refused to work without they got the usual price, which is thirty-five cents a turn. Mr. Hemingray very wisely let them go, and today he is busily engaged employing others who are glad to get the chance to work at the reduced price. The blowers will be delayed one or two days, in consequence of the strike.
