ing of VIC rkingmen held in Allegheny City on

places Of the strikers in the Pittsburg iron
works. The meeting was addressed by sew
eral working men, and passed resolutions adj
vocating the formation OF a National labor
party, and declaring that "the workingmen OF

nary free immigration of laborers to the
United States, from any country on the globe,
yet do oppose, and hereby earnestly do protest
against all organized purchased importations
OF iaborers, seconded by manufacturers, for
the purpose OF foverstocking the labor market
OF any one locality, feeling they do that
such importatons are hostile 70 all Just rights
and interests Of home labor, resulting at the
same time injurIously to the imported laborers
themselves, and inevitably leading to pau
perism and crime" They also passed q resc-
luton cal ling for q State Labor Con vention of
Pennsylvania, to consider various subjects OF
interest to the working people. 1t is an
nounced that at the latest mail ates that the
