| duty TO come forward now. On Saturday last
| three hundred dollars had been paid out of thai
society to sustain the strike, and he hoped, there
fore, they would not be backward.
Mr.. GRANGER, another secretary, then read a
list of the names Of the members of the society," re-
guessing them 10 state whether they belonged to
any shop or not.
The reading of the list occupied very long time
Mr.. MATHEWS then addressed the meeting, and

pointed to wait on the German Society for the pur-
pose OF reconciling the two bodies into common
mode Of action, in which the interests Of and
German brothers will be attainxble and identical
MIR. MATTHEWS having read the resolutions, offer
ed some observations upon them He said the only
eectual way they could proceed against the stores
that were holding out, was by the organization of
shop meetings. They could not do without them.
In London there were house Of call, where all
the honorable part of the trade met and delibera-
ted, but the case was different here, and shop

one thing he wished to mention, and he requested
the reporter OF the Herald, (the only one presently
10 take particular note OF 1t. In some instances
the tailors had been misrepresented in the papers
They had been set forth a set Of burglars. IL
the editors of papers knew the position in which
the tailOrs were placed, they would not say word
all the work given out. Does this look like dis
honesty: Some Of The bosses had come forward
to pay their bull Of prices; among them, was Dew
lin, who stated he had lost $5O0,00 during the
year Let that go forth and if the press will
not do US justice. We have right TO be party
to any contract made for our labor.
The resolutions were then adopted, and COM
miitee were apPointsd to confer with the Germ ms
At this stage Of the proceedings a man was
brought into the MEETING ia state Of great excite
meni, and in his shirt. He stated. that two boys
and man had brought him there with his bundle,
but that he worked for the advance prices.
Mr.. DoNNsILY desired HIN to go away.
Mr.. DoSNKLIY then read preamble and resolu.
tons handed to him by Mr.. Duane, Of the Ladies'
Shoe makers Society, which were also presented
by him at the Congress- Of Trades. They have
already appeared in the Hrah Their purport is
to sustain and sympathize with the tailors and to
censore the press and the polica.
Mr.. DoNELIY stated that these resolutions called
forth discussion at the meeting Of Congress, and
he wished to know whether the meeting cons-
dered them too strong or not. 1.-TWO voices-No.
NOD Then ] will so report to the Congress OF
Trades to morrow evening.
MIR. EDWARD MAtI.oS moved that vote Of
thanks be given TO the Ladies' Shoemakers' So
cieiy. He did 80, in order that, thirty or forty
years hence, they might look back to this bond Of
The resolutions were adopted.
Mr. MArIos said the next thing TO be done, was
Germans were not as practical as they ought to
have been, and In many respects he did not like
the way they got on. He would urge the change
TO the German committee to-day, He perceived
that u was the wish Of the majority Of that body
TO unite with the Germans. He had been of
dine rent opinion. as they were well aware,
changed, but be adopted their opiaion that they
might all work together. (Cheers) IL was most
important that the Germans should bring their bill
to the standard ct this body. Some OF the prices
they had set down for articles for the Southern
market were so extravagant, that II was impossible
for The bosses TO pay them. But, still, he would
strike for the Germans well as for themselves.
Mr. DoSNHLLy-lf the Germans will not agree
to your bill, they will be prepared TO give you an
answer tonight Take IL into Considerations, there
fore, what you will do in that (Cres of"Wc
will tell you now.") No. IL Is better to consider
Il well to-day, and finally decide tonight, for we
will stand TO whatever we shall say then. For my
own part, would rather lose the strike than sepa-
rate from the Germans
The meeting then adjourned till the evening, and
the members organized into shop meetings.

II was stated by the COMMITTEES, that the Germans

alteration in the list Of prices, which were con-
sidered so extravsgsnt, that u was impos,
consent 10 pay them. The report, sent in
by the German portioS Of the journeymen tsilors,
was read To the assembly, who were some what
irrifsfed At the manner in which the former ex-
prcssed themselves, and at the unfounded accuse
lions to which they alluded. The report being ra-
ther incoherent in itself, and deviating entirely
from the point OF question. II was almost imposs-
bic for the srbly 90 adopt any definite resou-
ton concerning their future mode Of action After
remarks in favor Of their cooperating with |
the Germans, despite their unreasonable prices for
the sake Of maintaining before the wsrld the post
