Meeting of the Female Industrial Associa-
ti0n.
There was but limited attendance in the Supe-
rior Court of the City Hall yesterday of this asso-
citation, no doubt in consequence of the unfavora-
BILE state of the weather, which threw damper
upon them for the present. Shortly after the time
appointed for the meeting, Miss Grey, President of
the Association, took the chair. She read series
of rules for the government of the Association to-
gether with list Of the officers for the ensuing
year, which were carried unanimously. A series
OF resolutions were then proposed, having tor their
object the support of the Association, which were
carried in like manner.
Miss GREY then proceeded to read an address to
those present. She congratulated them on the bold
position they had taken, upbraided their employers
for the manner in which they had oppressed them,
and said they would stand 1t no longer, as they on
ly asked for justice and would not be content with
less. She stated that there were stores where fe
males are the tit attendants, but which are hlled
by young men, capable OF more athletic and health
tul service. This growing evil, and although
they would not willingly express any desire to IL
nit the bounds of freedom, yet it was notorious
fact, that numbers of those so employed having no
other occupation, arrive In numbers by the packe!s
from Europe. In conclusion she observed, we have
now formed our association. 1t founded on the
principles Of justice and right, and we dc not de-
spair Of success. Let Us stand shoulder to shoul-
der in this struggle The press the mighty lever o.
civilization has spoken out, and the strong force OF
| public opinion Is with US. l repeat again, " Who
would be free, themselves must strike the blow"
A resolution was then passed unanimously for es.

ceedings Of the employers, and soliciting the pa

was passe d in like manner, edJournlng the meeting

bers of the press, would be respectfully invited to
attend.
S,The president then invited those present to sign

several came forward for that purpose.
We are requested to state that Mrs. Stephens was
not present at recent meeting OF this association
as stated in some of the papers. II was merely that
Committee should be appointed TO wait on that
lady, requesting her to write an address to the pub
