The Labor Movement.
New YORK, June 27th.-At nearly all the
Trades Union meetings yesterday it was
stated that the demands of the members had
been granted by the employers. Since June
the working men have demanded concessions
Of time on more instances than an increase of
wages The idea that the workmen should
have half holiday Saturday is now being
prominently pushed to practical solution
here.
The men who are managing the movement
are sapguine of success, and even say if the
New York manufacturers will not concede
this demand the mechanics, who are anxious
for the success of the Saturday half holiday,
will follow the movement to other places
Those employers who refuse to give their
men half holiday claim that the concession
would often place their business in jeopardy.
One large manufacturer said to Tribune
reporter that large contract had been
lost by him because his men were
taking a half holiday Saturday. This pre-.
vented him from completing the work as soon
as rival firm, whose men are working 60
hours weok Other firms engaged in the
iron business say that where the men stop
work at ~ o'clock Saturday the expense Of
running the shop is nearly the came as if a
full day was used. The half.holiday men
say, in answer to this, that in shops where
the concession has been granted the employ
ers are fully satisfied with the amount Of
work done, and believe it is even.

Grand Jury to-day and to make some inter.
esting revelations to that body. Pitney is
understood to admit that there were improper
things done under cover of the contingent
fund, and it is known that the details pub
lished by the press, in spite of the secrecy of
the Treasury officials, were substantially cor.
rect He claims that these expenditures were
made by the direct authority of his superior {:
that he ought not to be held responsible for
them, and that he is not willing to be made q
scapegoat.
