Of i-far
It sso refes the fact of the annually increasing cot
of living in New York City as being nc,usst-
ertwith decreased wages. 1t further represents thst
they unwilling to do anything caculs,e1 to mar
the good feeling which so generally existed between
employers and employees. A large nv nber OF the
employers refused to agree to the scale of prices, and
| eventually they entered ihto combination to secure
| themselves against the demands made upon them.
| AlCng with them were the plush and fur dealers,
! and other wboieeale dealers in materials used in
the fabrication Of hats. This combination suddenly
assumed formidable aspect, so that nothing but
| gres, determination of purpose and an intelligent
faith in the sb,eness Of their demands could in
duc4 the iourueymen hstters 70 remain fixed in their
| demands for a return to former prices. Employers
who willing to pay the prices asked for, had to
labor under the disadvantage of being refused sup
ply Of plu.b fur, aod other maersls by the dealers
| in those articles. at length the matters struck.
Every jourreyman halter in New York aud Philadel-
phs, excepting those who we're receiving the prices,
tured cut refusing TO work another hour until they
could obtain their demand The batters Of Boston
and other cities also threaened to pursue the same
course but tie employers in these places dscreety
deemed il the wsest plan to pay their prices and a.
low their business to go on uninter lupedly. Some
workmer who went to Ne wsrk to ask for employment
were refused the same from the fact Of their bsng
| New.Yerkers and members of the Trade Association.
Assistance extended by all Of their fellowcrafts-
men who were in employment in other pisces and
also by the Hatters Of England. The mechanics of
| other traces also came to their all. Among
| other bodies that of the printers in this
city gave them the sum Of $500. There
was 70 falteirg the part Of sings man,
although over 800 were strike, no appeal was
made through the press, not newspaper took up
their cause il fact both combinations seemed to have
good reasons for coucening from public notlcs the
remotest idea Of strike. The employers doubtless
regarded public opinion, while the employees as
reidly estimated that regard by determining to take
! no urmanly advantage. The contest was strictly
betu cen capital and labor, and they had "a fair field
and no favor" For five weeks the Hatters re NAMED
faithful to their side of the question, during which

turers bound themselves to forfeit $40 to the associ
alton for every man they employed at the strikes
retes; and soma Of them employed nearly 800 men
each Every conceivable pen was tried on the part
of this conbin alton to break up the phasnx of labor,
but every new effort seemed weaker than it' prede
cessor The of fur snd plush began to feel soft,
| and showed indications of submission, and utmstely
the Hat. finishers Trade Association were notified
that the employers had agreed to adopt their &c lie of
prices as the standard for wages with certain modh'
cations TO be made by the Hatters themselves. Ac-
coIdnely the Hattcrs held another meeting, a. which

prices which was mutually adopted, the result being,

as ffeIcly es ever. The average wages which Joar-

reserved, tburnipg publicity; by their firm and
straightforward course Of conduct they have achieved
