FROM NEW YORK.

NEw YORK, March ~, 1865.
70 the Editor or tbs wosKNGuASE ADyoH4Yz.
In my List communication I stated that
the house painters had for some weeks an
der consideration a proposition M work only
eight hours during the summer months, a.
they had done during The wint5r The bat
tie, believe, has been hot and sharp one
there being quite large number opposed to
the movement. The opposition was caused
mainly, | believe, through the dreadful sur
ierings the men have endured during The
winter months. Now, ~ spring approaches,
they are, Of course, anxious TO earn all the
money they can, as il usual at all times
with the working classes, without looking ~
Interior consequences. This il where capital
has always taken advantage Of labor. What
ever it does, Is done systematically, and
with q view 10 ulteIior profits from its IN
vestments. On the other hand, labor new
er looks beyond the present hour Nine
tenths Of the working men to-day, if offered
az advance that would last few weeks, or
told that il they would wait for a week OF
two they might make better bargain for
whole year, would TO their great disadvan-
tsge accept the first offer But after long
debate the party Of progress has triumphed,
and issued their notice to the bosses, that
the house painters will work eight hours per
day, according to the laws Of the State Of
New York, and the wages shall be as they
are now, SO 80 per day. This proposition
means simply ths-we will fix The hours,
and let the wages take care Of themselves
and | make bold to prophecy that in less
than two months the house painters will be
earning $3.50 per day, Of eight hours
We have now two branches Of the build
ing trade working on the eight hour system
in this city-the plssterers and painters but
what Of the othersf Where are the brick
layers and carpenters They have AZ yet
made no sign. Come, gentlemen, 'toe the
mark" and save US from another Bull Run 4
in New York, similar 70 that experienced in
Illinois last year. Look at the responsibility
that Is resting upon you; remember, if the
cause fails, on your shoulders must rest the
blame; there il no rubbing that out. You
must face the music, or forever hide your
reads in shame. Instead Of meeting to ask
or an advance Of wages, 20 in boldly for
light hours, and let the wages take care Of
themselves, which you may rest assured they
will do to your advantage. The task now is
N easy one. The first and second line Of
'reast-works have been stormed, and success
ully carried. Now, you rally to the charge
md we will carry the remaining one, and
be victory 10 ours-and not only ours, but
very toiler's throughout this, our great
ountry, for when New York speak, all 9th
re will soon wheel into line. Neglect this
opportunity, and II may take years to nc
omplish what may now be done in month.
