AT the meeting of the French International
Association OF this city yesterday, letter from
Mons. Dupont, Secretary Of the French section Of
the International Workiugmcn's Association in Lon
don was discussed At length. Mr.. Dupont asked Tor
the afh'iation OF the New York French Association
and all other American worknamen's Associations
with the international Association and this propo-
stion brought remarks from Mr.. Dubouchy, Mr..
Osborne Ward and others. Mr. Ward, who has
just returned from an extended tour OF several
years In Europe gave an Interesting account Of the
operations and rsmihcatons OF the International
Society In Belgium, England, France, Austria, Ger
many, Italy, and Spain. In the two last named
countries. said Mr.. Ward, the Society is growing
rapidly In numbers, power, and influence, and In
the other countries named II hos the power when.

that seeks TO iuJure the interests OF workingmen.

the hands OF Kings and EMPEROR and deciie II for
themselves As they have to do the nghting In the
event OF war they propose to have voice in the
making OF war or peace.
Mr.. Ward thinks that the workingmen Of this city
and country have now greater need than ever to
organize great political party, which should be
able TO demand Of the state Legislatures and OF Con-
gress their rights and to enforce them. The one
sided legislation of tho country is rapidly curtaing
ana will soon and forever destroy whatever rights
are still left 70 tho laborine classes. Therefore
workingmcn should organize Trades Unions
In this city and throughout the United States, based
not simply upon trades calings but upon nation
alities, as Frencn German, and English mechanics.
The interests Of all workingmen wherever found
are identical. and they should be united in action
Mr.. Ward urged therefore that these Unions should
be represented in animal congresses, and In the
Grand International Workingmen's Association.
which numbers not only hundreds but millions in
Europe, who have the power OF revolution If they
desire to exercise 10.
The meeting appointed Central Committee to lay
