To thia demand our employers refused to concede. We have laid our grievances be'ore them; we have endeavor ed to reasomwith them on the circumstaneos which have forced us to this alternative, but without success.

THE CITY RAILROADS. ‘Tho strike of the employes on three lines of our city ratiroads came to ap end yesterday, asthe stock and shareholders, after consultiag together, resolved to accede to the demands for higher wages. A visit to the various depots during the moroing showed the determination of those doomed to ‘‘earn their labor by the sweat of their brow” to resist to the last the monopolists of capital. An embodiment of the state of affairs will be found below — THB FOURTH AVENUE. ‘The directors of the Fourth Avenue Rajlroad met on ‘Thorsday, night and agreed, after some discussion, to ac. code to the wishes of their employes. The cars therefore were run yesterday as usual. The pay of the drivers and conductors will in future be $1 8734 per day. THE SIXTH AVENUE. The directors of this company also held a meeting and resolved 10 give the conductors and drivers $2 por day. ‘THE SEVENTH AVENUE BELT. The Seventh avenue live, which is supposed to belt the city, also found it necessary to come down with the dust and give to labor tho value required—that is, $2 per diem. THR BIOHTH AVENUE. The Eighth Avenue Company, having considered the thing maturely, came to the conclusion about noon that they had better come into the ‘general rise,’’ and they 41d 0 by giving both drivers and conductors a guarantes of $2 a day henceforth. THE NINTH AVENUE. Nearly all the cars of the Ninth avenue line, which is under almost the same auspices as the Eigh*h, wore run Ding yesterday from noon, on the understanding that the stondard adopted by the other limes* sould be guaranteed to them—namely, $2 per day. TH® TENTH AVENUE. The machinery of this avenue was set in motion about half past twelve yesterday, and altnough the employes had previonsly railed at the employers, the lattor | thonght ft best to carry on the railroad in accordance with the wishes of the working classes. THE RAILROAD DRIVERS’ ASSOCIATION. The drivers of the different railroad cars throughout the city have been maturing a plan for some time with a view to forming & protective association. This plan they bave now dotormined to carry out, and funds havo been subscribed for that purpose. THR BROOKLYN RAILROADS. ‘Thero bas been no strike on the Brooklyn railroads, The Presidents of all the lines have signified their readiness to advance the wages of their employes as soon as pis- sible, The Brooklyn City Ratiroad Company advanced the rates some days since from $1 60 to $1 75 per day to conductors and drivers. The Coney Istand Company have advanced the drivers’ wages to $1 60 per day and re- duced the hours of work.

Having read an article in yesterday's Hexap, purporting to be the proceedings Of a meeting of m ster sbipwrigbts, held on Monday, Oct. 26, we were struck with the discrepancies it exhibited from the report of the samo meeting sent us by their s6- cretary. Inthe printed report a very important resolu. tion is left out, and another, extremely bitter and hostile, ia inserted in tte stead. The following is the resolution, & part of which—in italica—was jeft out, which is cou- Clusive evidence labor, as the ordinary creased in proportion to the increased demand of cemts.)? yy have, by thua abandoning their strongest point of dofence, acknowledged the righteousnoss aod the justice Of our cause and the corresponding weakness of their own, by substituting @ resolution full to overflowing with calumny apd faisehood. The following is the resolution referred to:— ed, That the rizht of dictation to us by the smatyled Association We consider arbitrary, Hh) rant iu fis character to be submitted to, pt iUiv calculated to injure both the ewployed and the em | ployer. We moat emphatieally deny the assertion and challenge the proof. ‘here aro certain inalienable rights that Jong bo the workingn which are sacred, and wiil bo asserted and defended by all legal and peaceable means in his power, Ono is the God-¢i right to appraise the valuation of his own ekill aud labor, without which he is not one re from an abject slave, Another of those rights, which. thank Ged, have not been wrested from Us, is to peaceably associate together, take counsel from each other as to the best mothod of advancing our inter- eats and elevating the profeasion, Labor, singly or indi- viduaily, is unable to copa with capital, and more especially when it (capital) combines and hurls its tre- mendous power at a t me when labor is least able to com- Dat it. What resource 1s loft us but to put our shoulders to the wheel and help each other? Can our employers tell us how wo can gain our ends by any other method? Just now they are acknowledging the truth and force of our logic by entictag from our told a few misguided members, and by honeyed words nnd flattering promises smoothing the otherwise rough path from pouor and principle to baseness and subserviency. We trust they will see the error of their ways and repent before it is too late, Can our employors inform us when they called a meeting without notice from employes and advanced the rate of wages? Individual cases have no doubt occurred general movement to that end ever was Inaugurated, ever will be or ever can be as long as the almighty dol- Jar rules tho conscience, the principles aud every charita. ble, humane impuise that ever gu or contyolied the actions of man. How, then, can labor assert its rights? How can it ever hope to receive @ just and adequate com. Pensation uniess they form assdciations an’ work for each other's interests? Gur employers tell us if we will throw our badges, the emblem of our association, io the river, they then will not hesitato to give us the wages we demand. ‘Must we be compelied, like serfs, to accept the humtlt ating terms offered us’ Must we surrender every high and ennobling feeling that ever stirred the besom of an American mechanic to the dictation of our employers? May God forbid it Our association i# our only anchor of safety, and we will not abandon it In this the hour of our Rreatest need. And in this our resolution we ask the sym- pathy and extend tho same to our brother mechanics en gaged in the same great and good work, Our employers, in the report which we have quoted, say:—“Moredver, wo believe that the advance, if al: lowed, would severely endanger the sipping interests.” Which leads tho intelligent mechanic to inquire whether tho shipping interests are paramount to hia own. If oye or the other mast suffer, surely the duty he ower his family and bimself will dictate which course to pursu Preservation is the jaherent law of nature, Ho w false to the dictates of bumanity did be The idea is very prevalent in uniaforme price we demand is exorbitant, out of all proportion ‘other mechanical pursuits, which is very erroneous.

In this very important item of trade the prices of making have been #0 depreciated that it is scarcely pos- sible to realize how any one could Ive from the proceeds of sucb work. The average price now paid the poor working woman for making a whole suit of boy's cloth. ing is sixty eight cents, and for this mirerable pittance She has to spend her vigor of life at the rate of fourteen hours a day. ‘This is really too exacting TASSEL MAKING. Ten yours ago the tasselmakers of New York could earn, without any extraordinary exertion, over six dollars per week, and live comfortably at that. Now they ro. ceive only four doliars, aud work from half-past six A.M, to ten P. M. Formerly smal! tassels were meade at one dollar per gross; now sixty-two conte is all they bring. Largo centre tassels used to be eighteen conte a pair, they now receive tea cents a pair, while the employers obtsia higher prices for the goods, At this work the operative can cara from forty to mixty cents per day, and pays iwo dollars and Ofty cents per week for board, which waa for merly only one doliar and twenty-Qve cents, ome of the young women who work fu the shops have widowed mothers to support. They make their own dresses aud do their own washing after the day's work is done UMBRELLAS AND PARASOLS. Umbrelia sewers aod parasol makers are @ class who are particularly affected by the bigh rate of provisions, a# Ubey scarcely receive enough wages to buy thread aoa one comfortable meal during the tweaty-four hours. NOOR SKIRTS. In this expansive branch of business the wages are tremely poor. Last summer three cents per grees was paid; but at the present time only one and « balf cent is the ultimatom of the market, How many of our fine fashionable ladies ‘spread themselves ' on Broadway and Fifth avenue without ever casting a thought on the sweat and misery which ¢ atone (as they think) to their Movements, The gay belle, whore ‘“flounces shake per fume from every fold,’ little dreams of bow #he has ‘wrung the poor human heart (or ber display of gaudy and ephemeral rotundity. PHOTOGRAPHIC CARD MOUNTEHS. This is another class of persons (principally females) who have to stand op thelr feet from morning until night, end receive from three to four doliare per week. Good bands can mount one thousand cards per day. Apyreo tices are paid neariy as much as vider haoda THE BURNIAHERS. For tablespoons tbe burnishers were formerly paid one c@Ot each, aod they could burpish from thirty vo thirty. five per day, but if any were badly dono they must be done over the next day.

Tho business ts tedious work, and when they get home at night they are too tired to do anything Dut get their suppers and go to bed. WOOL SORTERS AND FINISHERS receive three dollars per week for sewing and assorting The exponses of these operatives aro quiteas heavy as those in other trades, DRESSMAKERS receive threo dollars per week, from soven A. M. to seven P. M., and often until ten o'clock, without any extra pay. A number of this clasa stated that on these wages they supported aged parents, or young brothers and sisters, CAPMAKERS ‘are paid thirty-five cents per dozen, A smart woman can complete one dozen in a day, by working early aud late. BOBBIN WINDERS fro receiving two doliars and fifty centa per woek. Some time ago they asked for three dollars per week ; but it was not granted. Sore of the girls in one shop quit work, and the weavers had to wiod their own bobbins. After being out of work twoor three days they applied for some pay that was due them, and could not get it, the Drutal foreman threatening to kick them down stairs if they demanded it again. Finally they resumed work at the old rate. Some of these operatives have aged parents to support, SEWING MACHINE OPERATORS are generally paid three cents for fifty yards of stitching, and in some shops they are fined five cents if they aro Dehind time five minutes of a dark morning. Fine shirts are paid for at rates varying from fifty-five cents to one dollar and twelve cents per dozen, and if brought to the shops with a button off the work girl is charged twouty ve cents for “fintsbing,’? which the foreman saya ‘will have to be done in the shops. A great deal of unnecessary fault is found with the work, and, when completed, the girls say that in some shops they can never reckon on getting the agreed price. In 1860, for fine shirts they received one dollar per dozen, They now got from Mity-flve to eighty cents. Flannel shirts that 6 sold for threo dollars each the maker only receives ten or twelve cents for. VESTMAKERS. A woman oan make one vest a day, for which sho re- ceives from forty to @fty cents, At this rato sho can earn about thirty cents per day, or, by working until tea and eleven o'clock, eara Gfty cents.
