BosTos-The Protective Union OF the 25th con-
tains the reports of several Workingmens meet
ines in that city. At the Trades Delegate meeting
held last Tuesday, Mesas. LampreD, Farnsworth
and Marble appeared, from the Sailmakers Socie
ty. The Committee on the Constitution for the new
League reported that they had not finished their
labors as it was anxious to proceed with care, so
as not to come to any hasty decision. The pream-
bic and portion of the rules of the new organiza-
ton were read and the report recommitted. An
interesting discussion took place on the necessity

Anew England Industrial eague," of Bostop,prom-

take their seats at each meeting The various de-
partments Of Labor will soon be represented in it.

Constitution has been adopted by this Society
somewhat similar to those prepared by our New

thusiastic meeting recently, which was addressed
by several eloquent speakers, who appealed strong

the mutual defense and protection OF Labor Work.
ingmen's cooperative Leagues have been formed
in the towns of Holyoke and Randolph, Mass to CO.
operate with the central League at Boston. The
American Union of Associationists meets next
Tuesday at 90 Bromfeldst. The Protective Union
promises TO insert the report the condition OF the
Printers of New.York In its next, together with
"several labor reports and reports OF meetings for
the emancipation Of industry held in Boston, &c.
The workiDgmen of Boston, Pittsburgh, Phladel-

roughly aroused and every day new Associations
are formed either Beneficial or Protective, or both

press, too, generally responds to these movements
