A mass-meeting of workingmen was held at Vorwnerts Turner-Hall on West Trelfth street Jast evening for tife purpose of considering the various laws fn favor of the workingmen now pending before the Legislature, and to agitate the establishment of a National Burcau of Labor Statistics. The workingmendid not turn’ out as heavily as was expected, only about 100 persons being present. The meeting was organized by the election of Mr. Coldwater as Chairman and Mr. Morran 23 Secretary. After the Chairman had stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of considering the establishment of & Natlonal ‘Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the reading of a bill in rezard to this matter introduced in the Legislature by Mr. Sheridan, ! ME. PARSONS was introduced as the first_spesker. He, after referring to the small number of persons pres- ent, and sttributing it to the poverty of the workingmen, who could not afford to come wut ii such bad, weather, - mot bhaving shoes, went on to _say that those Who 'had come came to give _expression to the necessity of estal ing such a branch. They could not give "much “heed to the. pro- fessions of oflicials and poiiticians, for it hss al- ways been fonnd that aiter clection they cared but little for the workingmen. He hoped the Representatives of this State would prove an exveption to the general rule. They had the night to demand that the Representatives work. in the'r interest. He referrcd to the Conviut- Labor bill, which would have been laid upon the table but for the noble staud - taken by Senator Kehoe. The workingmen would remcmber him ai the ballot-box. Convict labor came into direct competition with them. They bad their wants ond social duties which bad to be paid for, which the convict had not. If the convict comes into ompetition with G0 or 70 cents & day, they, the workinz- man, would be driven to starvation or a still worse fate. Convict-labor benefited oniy the contracting classes, but not the gentral publie. There was also a law before the Lugislature in regard to the collectivn of wages. ‘Those who had no lai suits for the collection of wages did 1ot know how hatd it was for the worlangmen TIf they won the case in the lower courts it was carried to. higher ones, and years were consumed before the case was . decided; in the meantime the laborer could live om sawdust, mot to speak of the cost of cmg&;w on these' suits.
