This change in sentmept--if it be a change-is

could have been settled without resort to arms.

German Meeting ia New York.
The Association of German Taiiors, lately or
ganized for the purpose of uniting m the genera
labor movement now in progress among the work
iBgmen of this city and vicinity, held mass
| meeting ON Monday night at the Steuben II louise
Nos. 29l and 293 Bowery.
1t appears that most of the work doing il
New York by taiIors is on military goods, and tha
prices are SO low that it is impossible to make
living. The object of the meeting was to obtair
better wages, by presenting memorial and com
plant to Government.
1t was stated that the movement thus initiated
will be a truly formidable one, as the number o
taors in this vicinity is between 49, 000 anC
$4,000, chiefly German, and that the single So
ciety acting last night has no less than 200 active
members.
: The meeting vas conducted with much warmth
and spirit, but adjourned with unaEimity of senti
ment and evidence of perfect good feeling. w
learned from several members that the depression
. in their trade is terrible.
