The LABOR QUESTION II New YoRK-The
hrepresslble conflict between labor and capital
will GO on. The master mechanics of the civ
are discontinued with the eight hour law, and
nave resolved not to employ any man who will
not work ten hours a day. The workingmen on
tLelr part seem resolved to maintain the adj
vantsg &c they have gained, and so we are threat
ened with psraly zation of business Just at the
moment every one is looking forward to the
opehlng OF the spring trade. The argument of
the master mechanics is that the eight hour ava
tenn exerts ademora lizing influence on the men,
and Is driving trade from the city. The way
tney propose to remedy the evil is, however,
much more likely TO damage than to serve the
interests OF the city. Can no other means he
