rFrom The Newark Mercury Nov. CT

from the Newark Mercury Nov. 81
The workngmen OF this city who are out OF employ
will meet the Military Common this morning, at seven
o'clock for the purpose Of devisng means to obtain work
Meetings Of similar character with that in contemplation
have been held in New York and elsewhere, but do
not know that any good grew out of them. Something
ought undoubtedly TO be done for aboring classes,
by out of door assemblages, is, to the least of it,
very questionable. The attendance will of course be
large there being several thousand persons of
poymen in midst all of whom will feel interest
in the meeting
The feeling among laborers that they should be do
ing something for themselves has been extending very
rapidly during the past week and saturday, the Street
Commissioners Office besegcd with large crowd of
men, principally of foreign birth, beseechne him TO give
them work the streets So great did the crowd become
that the presence Of the police rendered necessary
order and the being assured that the city
would give them work possible, finally dispers
ed but gathered about the vicinity groups, discussing
the "hard tines gentleman who had just procured
safe, wished il removed into his building and making
application to two three for their services was
beset by the whole crowd which seemed to obtain
labor even rewarded with only trfing remuneration
The generally appeared disposed to be quiet though
displayed disposition 10 make trouble demanding
as right that the city should either give them work or
bread.
The day police we understand, numbering sixteen men
andfour officers, held meeting few days since and sub
crbed enough funds buy twenty five barrels of -four
which they purpose distribute through the appropriate
channels for the benefit of the poor and destitute The
parade the force has been abandoned the
erng contribute what would cost them to the poor.
The -four learn, will be ready for delivery whenever
the Relief Committee may ask for IL.

SELLING BREAD BY WEIGHT.

The Special Committee appointed by the Board Of
Ccuncmen consider the proprety of having all bread
sold by weight met at P NJ, yesterday, in the Library
City Hall
The committee did not feel themselves authorized to
FIX the price of bread, but they unanimously in
favor Of having uniformity the weight of loaves estab
nshed.
Mr. McFadden, baker, agreed with the opinion
Of the committee. Het bought ii would ruin many
bakers 10 establish arbitrary price for oayes, but
that all loavss should have uniform weight, and
those bakers who made the loaves the best and sold
them the cheapest would have the greatest of
customers. No bakers, he said, ever adulter-
ated their bread, il there any aduteraton
h in the -four when ii was bought. Bakers always
used potatoes in their bread TO extent but this
done 10 make the bread better not cheaper because
tatoes dearer than -four. Alum used by the
bakers 10 make the bread whittier and keep the dough from
running while il raising
The committee decided TO report in favor of passing
ordinance that every baker should make his bread up
ioayes weighing either two four pounds and his
rolls that there will be six pound every loaf TO be
branded with its weight and the initials mark OF the
baker II any baker should violate this ordinance his
bread to be seized, condscated, and heavy fine impos
ed upon him.
