The Nationa] Labor Gon vention resumed its deliberations in Baltimore yesterday. The committee on the eight-hour system and kindred subjects reported as fellows: ‘Whereas there comes from the ranks of labor & demand for more time for morai, intellectual, and social culture, and believing that this de- mand is the result of that condition of progress in which the workingmen of this nation are prepared to take a in the scale of —— intellectual life: Therefore, agitate the eight-hour question publicly and privately, and to effect some plan of organiza- tion v! ‘we may secure the combined strength of the workingmen of the nation to effect this great iabor reform. After some discussion the ‘was recom- Mitted, by a vote of 28 to 23. The Congress then adjourned until two p. m. uring the afternoon session the committee on Trades’ Unions and Strikes ‘was submitted by R. C. Cameron. as follows: ‘nizing as & fundamental truth that «in union there is strength,” and believing, also, all reforms in the labor movement can only be effected by the intelligent and systematized effort of the industrial classes; believing, also, that effort can ac it best be directed through the channel of trades organivations, recommend that local unions be established in every city where none exist, and international unions in every branch of industry, as the first and most important duty of the hour, ana claim that no man has rmed that duty either to himself, his family or his fellow- workmen, who has heretofore neglected or re- fused to doso. Believing, also, that the efforts of this Convention should be directed to de- vise the most available and practicable means by which united action may be obtained, and knowing that a large number of our skilled mecbanics are excluded from these ‘iza- tions by past delinquencies, which it would be judicious to overlook, would recommend that an invitation be extended to all such to re. enroll themselves in the grand army of labor, and that ail local anions be earnestly requested to extend the “olive branch of ceive such applicants in a spirit of concihation and fratern: ling, and that the ist of Janu- ary, 1867, be named as the time when such op- portunity shali expire by limitation. Your committee would also suggest that a more rigid enforcement of the ap} renticeship system should be observed, believing that such action would redound to our own interests, as our trades’ unions are, or should be, organized on the —— of ype 3 a quid an equivalent for value received, ands, long as “botches” are — as competent werk- men this principle is virtuaily ignored. They would also suggest that as there are a great many laborers who do not form part of trades’ unions, and as it is desirable to bring all within the ranks of the labor movement, thata general Workingmen’s Association be Tecognized as belonging to the general tion, and its delegates entitled future Labor Congress. Your committee would also recommend the pomp pe the tr institutes, MA ums an yooms wherever prac’ and that said Institutes be erected oTWith poseed the subject of ikes, | u wo sub) of stri your committee give itas their deliberate opinion that as a rule they are productive of great in- jury to the laboring classes; that many have N injudicious and ill-advised, and the re- sult of wy eee rather than principle: that those who have been the fiercest in theiradyo- cacy have been the firstto advocate submis- sion, and woulda therefore, discountenance them except as rnier resortand when all means for an amicable adjustment have been exhausted.

Nor can this be taken as a me- nace to employers, knowing, as we do, that the ewe involved is not aggressive but de- lensive in its character, founded ou the prin- ciples of eternal truth and justice. On the contrary, they believe it would be the means of creating a bond of sympathy between em- ployer and employee, and ina) a reign of confidence and mutual esteem in piace of the antagonism and jealousy at pres- bag doom A Teport on corporative associations and - sonal Tabor was su>mitted and adopted. or The committee on convict iabor made the following report: «The question of convict labor has been con- sidered at scme length, and the committee are of the opinion that, if convict labor cannot be entirely abolished, the same yey should be demanded of the United and the ‘ve States of all contractors securing convict labor at that price paid in the work- shops outside of the prison, and your commit- ,” and re- gislatures for action on the subject.” Mr. Schleger, from the committee on perma- nent organization, presented the revised final Beit Te Oo re: s Congress organize a per- manent National Labor Union, by selecting oe appa poner officers:—A president at jarge one vice presidentat large, and one vice ident in each State, Territory and District represented in this Congress, the same vice presidents to &ct as corresponding secre- taries for the labor organizations in re- spective State, one recording , and one assistant, on: corresponding secretary and one assistant, & treasurer, anda finance com- mittee of three.
