"The New England Industrial League is the
plVot on which all the various labor associations
s,ould revolve aud If the men who govern that i'm
p,rtant organization are true men-if they are tit
fG the tmeg and for the great work which they
hive undertaken, then may we expect that this
tine pextyear we shall have reason to look back
uon our lators with feelings OF great satlsaction.
in the meantime, the meetings OF every Trade
Ehciety ahould be at once resumed and instead OF
taking about " hats of pricee," the whole labor
saeetion should be discussed, and the true remedy
printed out. The League ought to take the initia
tive in this matter aud again hold iss meetings
weekly. large public hall should be also en-
geged, in which the various trades could hold their
respective meetings and one evening of the week
be set apart for general meeting Of all trades,
when addresses snd lectures could be delivered by
the eblest men in the movement.
Theae are a few OF the duties which we shall be-
called upon TO discharge during the Fall aud Win
ter, and let US hope that every man connected with
| the movement Will be prepared to discharge that
which devolveH upon BIN with vigor and determi-
nation.
All engaged In this work may expect that cal
umny and visuperation will do their worst-that
every time server al the press, who fances he mas
an interest In the present anomeoug state Of So
ciety, will exhaust his power of abuse upon them,
! That their motives and principles Will be mlRcon
srued or falsely stated, and that persecution will
bh resorted to- drive them from the path of duty
No matter " Perseverance" must be our word,
and our lsbors will be rev srded with the most tr
unphant success. We will return to this matter
again.
