OCCUPATION TOO SOLEMN Coffinmakcrs Ask for More Time to Lighten Their Gloom. NEW YORK, June 18. If the coffln-makers' coffln-makers' strike shall spread much further fur-ther among the factories of this city it may become necessary to bury the dead In union-made boxes put together by ordinary carpenters in the next few weeks. The surplus of caskets on hand is said to be quite small. The strikers,1 who desire shorter hours, say the work makes them melancholy and they need more time In the sunlight sun-light and to mingle among those who are not always thinking about death.
