The Eight Hour law, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, went into effect to-day, and the laboring ‘men are celebrating it by an imposing demonstration. ‘The industrial establishments of the eity are closed and the laborers and mechanics are thronging the streets, Operations in the railroad shops, on new buildings, and im fact in every department of active industry, are sus- pended, and the day has been turnod into s general holi- day, to which has been added an imposing procession and mpeeches this afternoon. ‘The procession formed this foregoon and bas paraded ‘Shrough the principal streets of the city. From five to eight thousand laboring men were in the ranks, embra- Ging stone cutters, marble workers, carpenters, ship- carpenters, caulkers, blacksmiths, bridge builders, moulders, boiler makers, wagon makers, railroad em- ployés, curriers, &c., each association carrying on trucks drawn by long teams of horses the emblems of their trade in practical operation, A tall rigged ship, with men at work upon it; a steam engine im -motion; @ shoemaker’s shop and funeral care, were among the features of the procession, Flags ‘and banners by hundreds floated above the procession, on which were various mottoes, such as ‘In God is our ‘Trast;” “Eight Hours and No Surrender; “ For the Benefit of the Rising Generation ;’’ + Illinois on the Side of Reformation ;” ‘‘ Hurry up Governor Fenton ;’’ “Fhe Millennium ‘of Working Men; “Burial of Old Ten Hours.” ‘The procession was about an hour in passing a given Point, and was continually greeted with cheers by the thousands Of workmen in the streets. In the afternoon speeches were made to them by several advocates of the eight hour law, and at evening they quietly dispersed. THE EMPLOYERS NOT TO YISLD, How the atrike wiil result noone can tell. The boiler manufacturers will adhere to the ten hour plan, aua close their shops rather than yield to the new move- ment. The sash and blind makers refuse to pay more ‘than eight hours’ pay foreight hours’ work. The cwnors of planing mills have determined to discharge eight ‘our men. . Plumbers and marble workers will make no Concessions to their men, and tanners will close their establishments rather than pay more wages, Painters have agreed to pay nine hours’ wages for eigmt hours’ work. The railroad companies, without exception, are ‘wmited in saying that they cannot carry on their busi- Mess with oight. hours, and aro discharging every man ‘who demands that basis. ‘The printers decided last might to take no part in the movemont, and will work as here- tofore. The railroad companies are discharging men very rap- idly, and :t Will be bard'to 4 their places; and nume- _ Fous buildings in process of erection will have to remain 4m statu quo for some time to come. At the reaper fac- ‘Many establishments are employing and paying men by the hour, but the feeling On the part of employers is almost unagimous tn favar of paying bat eight hours’ pay for eight Qeurs’ work, and they will close their es- tablishments rather than yield, ‘In the meantime, the rs determined to labor eight hours for ten hours’ pay, and witl wot con- ede an inc to the employers’ demand. The employers threaten they will bold out for s year if necessary, and thas for the time being industry may ke sald to be para- lysed. Many persons are apprehensive of riots in case ‘amy laborers should choose to go to work on the em- ployers’ torma, but at present there is little danger. &e. . ‘With the Pelice—Business Suspended, &c. Cmcaco, May 2, 1867. ‘The larger part of the manufactories are still closed, At an early hour this morning the eight hour laborers gathered jn force, and proceeding to the extensive shops @f the Iilinots Central Railroad, drove the men from their work ‘and closed up the shops. Tne chief eect of the med seemed to be to close up every estab- Mehment in which eny ten hour men were at work. ‘Their next raid was upon the lumber yard of King & Brothers, at the bead of Canal street, which they sum- marily closed up. They then visited three or four other Dumber yards in that part of the city, and served them fm asimilar manner, [bey subsequently went to the large planing mill of Goes & Phillips, and compelied the propnetors to suspend operations aad their employes to Jeave the premises, ‘Their next demonstration was upon the lamber yards of J. M, Dalton & Brother and Bigelow Bros., which are ecated side by side on the south branch of the river, “whea they were met by a squad of police, wth whom ‘they held a long parley. Shortly after they appeared in force st the Fort Wayne freight house, armed ‘with sticks, stones and clubs, but were unexpectedly met by another squad of police with drawn revolvers, After much loud talk ead numerous ominous threats the the mob's wrath received a gash on his face and nose, the latter being injured very badly. ‘Mann & Soott’s, Armour, Dole & Co.'s and Fiat & ‘Thempeon's elevators were also closed by the mob. ‘The police force has been strengthened, and are gatbered at the various etations ready for any emerg- At present all work 1s suspended. 4 The Movement tu St. Leie-Great Demon- tration in Ite Faver -Speechese—Reselutions NEW “YORK “HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1867—TRIPLE SHEET. 3 i d i i i i | hi EESES” fen? it Ee 288 ist Ey Bl ; il rn 2 Journeymen Carpenters’ Union.

The pace now became accelorated by Eilis pressing very hard on Income and ing him before they reached the stand in 2:46.
