A resolution was passed authorizing the issue of Croton main pipe stock to the amount of $100,000, In offering this resolution the CoMPTROLLER re- marked that he was under the impression that the laying of these pipes was not done under proper plans, They might also have been laid in unneces- Sary sireets, He did not mean to reflect upon the action of the present Commussioner of Public Works, ag the gentieman had had no opportunity to change contracts and agreements entered into by his predecessor, Mayor WIOkHAM did not think it within the Province of the Board of Apportionment to di- rect through what streets water pipes snould be lata or te control the Department or Public Works, Comptroller GREEN then said he did not wish to contradict or contravene the Mayor upon this mayer.

This was also laid over vader the rules, The COMPTROLLER next called up Nis resolution authorizing him to dispense the $20,000 appro- priated for payment of expenses iucarred in tracing Ring robberies. Accompanying this reso- Intion was @ memorandum irom Mr. Charies O’Conor, certifying as to the necessity for the pas- sage 0! this resolution by the Board. Alderman Lxwis objected.

LABORERS The Reduction of City Work- ingmen’s Wages. “4 ITS EFFE or: Action of Tammany Hall and the Republicans. LETTER FROM TiStemer bs A WORKINGMAN. The issue between the politicians and the labor- ing classes, growing out of a reduction of wages on public works in this city, bas assumed threaten ing proportions during the past week. Tammany Hall bas brought trouble apon tts shoulcers in this connection, The leaders have had several secret consultations. They appreciate the danger oftampering witn the poor man, The maiustay and backbone of the Tammany organization in all 1ts victories has been the !aborers, Irish and Ger- man, The kid-glove element who sup at the Man- hattan Olub and perambulate Fifth avenue in ele- gant broadcloth may do very well as ornamental statues for political decoration, but when elec- on day comes the borny-fisted sons of toll are the men who do the voting and work arouad tne wards, A shower of rain will not keep them away from the polling places. They do not fear soiling patent leaiher boots or swallow-tall coats, They hold the balance of power; nave at least 40,000 votea out of the 130,000 generally polled. ‘These men are therefore worth cultivating by the politicians. DEMAGOGURS AND WIREPULLERS, however, geverally succeed in throwing dust in the eyes of this class of men. [tis now a litsle over four months before an election can take place. A democratic Mayor and Commissioner of Public Works, together with several republican oMcials, hold a meeting and agree to reduce the laborers’ pay ou city works to twenty cents per hour, ts justice ig anovuer question, A storm is raised. The men strike On the Boulevard. Soine of the trades unions of the city denounce the action, Xhere is bitter denunciation of Tammany Hall and the politicians by the laborers, What is to be done? The leaders in the Wigwam percoive that @ mistake has been made somewhere, A meeting of the General Committce ts called. Reso- lutions are introduced in opposition to this reduc- tion, Judge Clancy attempts to secure their passage. An immense majority of the committee Qninn isin the chair. ‘Boss’? John Kelly wishes the resolutions sent before the Committee on Or- ganization. The “Chief Justice’ decides in favor of “the Boss” and the meeting breaks up in an uproar. Here was a dilemma for Tammany. ‘The democratic Mayor had acquiesced in the resolutions of reduction, Mr, Wickham had been announced as ‘my candidate” at the nominating convention of “Boss” Kelly, When a leader taug publiciy claims to own a candidate, body ana soul, be must certainly staud or fall with the man of bis ehotce, The labor interest of the city {s up in arms, and something must be done. POLITICAL ‘{PUST THROWING.” Several meetings Of ward committees were held during the week and more will be neid next week. These meetings are convened for the purpose of expressing dissatisfaction with the reduction of laborers’ wages ana throwing dust in the eyes of those poor men. A singular ard contradictory resolution was passed at the mecting of the Six- teenth Assemoly District Tammany Committe, in which Mayor Wickbam and Mr. John Kelly were lauded to the skies and the laborers sympathized with until tears ran down the caecks of several | fat oMce-holders. This condition of affairs exists all over the city and similar exhioitions of “dust surowing” will take place next week.

I! was decided to address courteous letters to tue vepartments of Public | Works and Docks, requesting to be iniormea of the reasons for the reduction, They received without delay equally courteous replies, in whicn the two principal reasons assigned were that the city had beea ing more money for labor than private individuals, and that there was sacl ess of laborers U more people were seekin, ployment than the city could possibly employ. Commissioner of Public Wo x emy In his letter ted that— The prices generally paid for labor of the kind which Is ailected by the recent reguiations have for a jong time been much fower than the rates heretofore paki tor it by this and other 4 And the tendency has been steadily toward lower and lower wages, as the country recovering from the disturbing | induenc iil management of our finance ar and of ta which unsettled all p by_ inflating eu renoy.

In so far as the wages paid by government pon public wi imexeess of the cur- intar work generally paid at the time employing lacor in the same locality, y. would appear, to be mere gratuities, 11 do ot know what right or justification I, as as public cer, can have for giving away public moneys. indeed, 1 am informed that a number of our tax- payers, observing the great difference between the rates Which were antl recently those which are ris by individ n; of labor were, at the time the reduction was made, tually in consultation with counse! with & view to pro- ceedings in the courts to enjoin and restrain this and ‘the other | rey or mts from paying rates which might property, ave beea calieg wayerul had hey, been con miued. The resoluiions of the Board of Aldérmen very proverly call attention to the fact that itis the ing man who is the real taxpayer.

They met the statement that the reduction was partly prompted by the overplus of labor by the argument thut his was uo reason why a fair day’s Wages should not be paid Jor a fair day’s work. in view of all these considerations the commit- tee respectiully asked the heads of the depart- ments to recede trom toeir action, In repiy to | this request jetters were received simply an- Epic’ with formal courtesies, that they could | not recede irom the actiou taey bad taken. The committee, in couciusion, express their be- lief that the heads of the departments thougut they were doing right in makivg this reduction, but they entertained am nonest difference of upin a reduction at this time. They submitted THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS:— ‘ibat this cominitiee sincerely regret their ‘iter persistent efforts, to persuade the heads action in reducing the igvorers’ waxes.

JUNB 12, 1875, To THE Eprror or THE HERALD:— Will you kindly permit a workingman to say a few words to the Tammuny leaders through the medium of your valuable journal? Iam a demo- orat and have always voted the straight Tammany Hall ticket, and im all probability would still con- tinue to do so but for the recent acts of the Tam- many Mayor and his Tammany appointees. During last year the work in the city departments was pushed forward vigorously. The Dock De- partment in particular employed many man and all the other departments also employed large numbers, ‘the laboring classes were enabled to live by the product of their honest labor, Then came the fall election and Tammany Hall recommended William H. Wickham to our faver- able consideration and support. Who does not | remember the grand promises be made and the rose-colored pictures of the future under his | benign raie? His first act was to appoint a Com- amisstoner of Pubiic Works, For this responsivie | position he selected Mr. Porter, a resident of an- other State, @ man whose political record was in direct conflict with the best interests wf the labor- | ing Classes, A wealthy boudholder bimseif, what does he care whether the poor man starves or has fuoa or the means to procure it?
