The trouble growing out of the eight hour movement in this city is rapidly subsiding, and is is now thought things will retura to their former basis, although 1t will take a long time for business to recover from the shock it bas received. In nearly ali of the manu- facturing establishments of the city work has been resumed on such terms as the parties interested could agree to, In many of them tne employés are working on the old ten bour system, with no change in wages. In others they are working only eight hours a day, receiving one-fifth less pay than formerly. At the machine shops and freight houses of the various railroads a sufficient number of hands are engaged to carry on the regular business of the roads. Some of these employés are working ten hours a day and others eight—the latter in all cases receiving less wages than the former. The Central Committee of Workingmen has issued the following address to the workingmen of the Stare:— We, the Central Executive Committee of the city of earnestly solicit the co-operation of the work- imgmen of the State in their determination to stand by the law making eight houre a legal day’s work, and use ail lawfal means to secure that end.
