Plastkbeim' Convention. A meeting
t the National;Conventionof flasterers was hold In
this city on Thursday, 12ih Inst., Charles MoLean, of
Boston, In the chair, wncn, after the reading of the
minute of last meeting, Mr. MoLoan deliver d the
following addresat
Uontemen : Since we last met in our deliberative
ri0DT eJm,on 'he condition 01 tne laoorliig classes,
ihoir duties and responsibilities, the relauve con
nection ot the employers and capitalist therewith,
umuo" derosaed my attention, the result or
which has been that serious laults and hindrancos
ate fostered and engendered by bo to parties The
workingman, on the one hand, by lashness In tiie
advocacy ol just c aims, without affording sullioient
time lor red cfon or pieparaton. tlurried counsel,
wllhoat calm thought and deliberate action, even in
local organization, sometimes precipitates strikes,
and inrolves the whole working o immunity in the
contest;, whereas, a proper appeal turoura the
press, or other method ot communication, property
slated, v ould go tar to oonviuoo the iiublio that our
claims were founded i i Justioe. causing the capitalists
to oede, both tor their interests and ours, higher re
murerative piicee.and less hour In wninhtoearn
those auvanced ra.es, lor it is apparent from pat
experience that cool and combined action is nooe
sary in many respects; and in order to repair and
rectily past mistakes, unite all the Tailed interests
of the wo. king classes, educate tnom to drink from
a higher and holier son roe ot knowledge sentiments
less selfish than hitherto; Imbue their minds witn a
better conception ot their destiny; iet them fa ly
understand the true interpretailon of tno tio'den
Kule, the meum and tuum of sooiety; and
thus, in the plectltudo and grandeur ot tota
his physical and mental power, the producer ot all
weaith will assuredly be best able to determine how
to oispo-e ot it. btr ke rash y ot tered upon are
productive ot eril to al concerned. Let the laboring
clasres be united not to assail, but to pioteot. Lot
htm be prepared for emergencies a med with moneyed
and moral power, taking ihe advico of "1'olonlus,"
not be readiest o quarrel, but once engaged, so con
duct theraselyes that capital will hesila.e and rellect
before engaging in a s cond contest
By what principle of justice, on the other hand,
does capital array it sell against l'S creat ir and pro
tector, especially when emergencies have ar.sen in
the country requiting higher prices brought about,
nut by the laboiingman, but bvtneevii usosto which
capital was pros rated by the purchase ot the laborer
liimselt and not bis labor. This antagonis'io condi.
tion ot tilings, contrBry to all the principles of equity,
brought on and cherishod in one section of onr coun
try, involved ns in war, and at its close iound us with
an enormous national debt to disburse, more assoa-ora
and other smeoure officers' salaries t ban are neces
sary, as stilt lurthor incubus to support, legislators
imposing taxes wuo aro mere trros in the know
ledge ot properly proportioning tuem. National
bonds exempted and held by tho rich, whilst the
neceesar.ee ot life are burdened to the straining
point, and yet 'tisacoounted sacriiee to complain or
even request higher pi iocs for labor, morejespecmlly
it combined tot that pni-pose Kow gentlemen,! I
contend that non-pata labor, which hat brought
about this condition ot tilings, will ultimately bring
about a worse, li the claims of ill-requited labor
are to pass unheeded if, as in "Frankonsteln."
the oreatuie attempts to become too powerful
lor its creator, then it becomes the duty of every
man existing to con Hue and limit its power. The
tyranny inflicted by twoot the taree daises of society
In Fr j nee (the moneyed two) upon the third estate
brought about the revolution. The foundations
nponwhica the labrios ot Christianity stood were
assailed by atheists of their own creation, for men
reasoned It-at the truo i d could not iufliot nor
tolerate snch wrongs as the clergy taught and im
posed. The other, the nobility, so-cailed, imperious
by birth and education, spurned unheeded the peti
tions of the working causes, destroyed faith in
monarchical institutions, and, drunk with madness at
those two clauses, retaliated with fearful retribution
tor past injuries. But whilst we deplore that the
claims of certain classes of our countrymen to obtain
shorter hours of labor havo not been granted in
another section of ihe country, but retarded, and
the capital and wealth of still another section
arrayed against the caulkers ot Boston to force
them to submit to the conditions of the iirst onus
for having expressed sympathy for their fellow
craftsmen in few York in their hour of trial. We
depreoate both tyrannies, but especially the last,
as they committed no act but the abave and should
be supported by every workingman iu the country.
or what purpose do our State governments
expend such vast sums for educatiou, to teach a boy
the theory of demonstrating a problem in Euclid,
and then send nim to a trade, where hia physical
owors are piosrratcd by too long nonrs of labor f
a what condition is bis mind at the end ot each
overstrained day's toll to grap.ile with and do
ve.ope the hidden mysteries of chemstry, or to
invent and bring to tiractcal use tnose school
taught theories. Big mental and physical
powers, jaded and oppressed, render him
unfit, amid the inexbanst ble reouroes ot this groat
country, yet almost unknown, and their applioaiion
obtcure. Mow, gentierm-u, it the dull ear of power
(power created by you) would but listen to reason,
and take an unselfish view ot this matter, be i ore it
Is too late, let tbem reason and compromise. 1 he
workingman Is la-t rising to a higlior civilization,
by which he already begins to perceive that in a
better conditioned state of society, towards which
he is test (tending, viz , labor, its hours, its remu
neration, etc, will at all tim s check itself, nor re
quire one led for nor unwarranted dictation from
capital.
I sincerely trust that the more epeclal purpose
for whicn we are here oonvened, however, viz: , to
take into calm consideration the peculiar requirements
of our own special calling, the mu ual benefits to be
derived by any alterations or amendments neoes
eary, the upholding and expounding of general
heal-hy laws, by wbioh alt classes shall be benefited,
will meet with your careful and cousiderate atton
tion, to that on rising from this Convention we shal '
noioonsiaer mat we naveaskea nut wnat lirigni
ai d wan the help ot God and a clear consoleuce will
subnet to nothing that is wrong. Among other
things, the adopt.on and fostering of which would I
think be of incalculable benefit to the working
classes, would be, first, to O'uromze no paoers which
opeuly doi ounce us, who pamper to wea th, who
allure the workingman by sophistry from that alle
giance to wheiebistiue interests lay, whe offer no
astittauce, by that mlnty power they wield, to ra'se
and iterate the working classes o that em neuoe
toward which he is fast journeying, viz.. a oearer
and mere comprehensive idea of the duties and re
sponsibilities ot his calling. '
We wai t a pi ess that will honestly and conscien
tiously advooate the true interests of labor, and
point out the remedv for detects, and hinder en
croachments. It becomes the duty, tbereiore, of
every workingman to patronize none others ; and
it the editors thereof won d make their sheets gue
raily entertaining to the workingman.and Ipstructive
to bis children, I think tliev won d be more liberally
patronized. I would like vise sugaet that by con
certed action wi n o her bodies ot ruechauics intel
ligent lecturers m'ght be emp.oyed to deliver ad
dresses throughout ibe Un on on the beat mode of
hlncing in one tatmlv the various classes of working
men tbat labor might not become too great a sacri
fice tounpnnoip ed num.
Another tvil which wo ought toavoiil, and which
will do iound to exist in our local societies, is the
petty jealousies and bicker ns upon minor points,
when by a little lorbearanco they could be easily
'overcome. 1 here is likew.se a gieat lack of dis
' crimination on oar part in not recommending tho
appointment of a National Board of Trade for the
regulation of labor, aua ull its interests. I submit
that this Board shall consist or eqnal nnnbers of
woikmgmen and etoolryrs, to bold periodical
meetings, as necessity may r quire. It might be ap
pointed by legislative enaotmeut or by thenwulves,
and be rodctire of vast good, thus avo ding all
pernicious collisions which Disturb and injure our
Lest interests.

BKFOATOVTna COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THK
TKA DB
The Committee on the State of the Trade, to whom
was referred the several renorti of the societies
represented in this Union, beg leave to report that
it carefully examined and oonsMered tuem Tour
Committee is high v gratified at the many and bene
ficent results obtained, and the prospect there is of
yet better ana more promame good Doing aooom
vl,hnri .
The suggestions put forth by last Convention have
keen generally earned out by the societies, and thus
many abuses nave i been corrected, and innovations
nn inn eimtoms and usages ol the trade, which were
ot long standing, have been a'most completely re
moved. Thus Is wiineesm we puwur oi consonaa'ea
action when direoted by a spirit ot lairness and
ina! it u nnrtam ever to meet with success.
In ihsefl'orts made to promote the best interests ot

Civil dn'ks And tbn the working classes will be

publteen institnuons.
We are kind to i ote that apprenticing is last set
tlli g Itself, becommg at last STtomatized and in
practical working oid'T in many cities. The man
nror com Itlon on which to permit a youth to
loarn a trade is ever important, lor good, akii ed
mechanic wit at tim s be a necessity to every com
munity. The simplest and readiest system to gov rn
at prentices, and which wouM commend Itself to
public avor, is to require ol every per-on desiring
to learn the t; a 'e or the art ot plas eiing, as a first
O' ndit on, that he he trra ly u d ;ntured.
This simple cone itlon, aireadv enforced in some
cities, ban proved its efllcacv to check the wholesa e
manufacture ot balf-skil ed workmen that hitherto
prevailed. There is n.ithing nnjust or unreasona
ble in the demand that anprentices be indentured,
It is proteetion to the youth indentured it secures
to the msster t o servioes of the apprenticed
youth. It checks undue and un'air compe
tition amongst journeymen, as it tends to
limit the increase ot their numbers to iho just
requirements of the wants of society. It develops a
superior mechnmcal skil, in which our oountry will
not be second to that ot any other nation. And it
will aid In forcing back to rne agr cultural, mining,
and manufacturing districts the surplus population
that centres around tho meohanloal branches to
large oitis, and in this result it will be readily seen
how mnch the oountry would beoome enr ohed, and
the wel -being and hf ppiness of all oonoerned
increased.
Another evil had hitherto prevailed ; bnt is happily
being almost, If not completely, lemoved. Keier
ence Is here made to "lumping", or the system of
sub-contracting, which Is more injury to tue ownors
ot bouses than, perhaps, to any others. It is true
tl ere are trades that could not be conducted oaauy
other than tbe piocc-work system.
It lit it 1b evident it woud be the ruin ol the plas
terms' tiade. Yonr coinmittoe, thorotoro, would
urge tbe n most opposition to it, and that no lawful
means would be left untried to totally destroy it.
1 be Committee would also reoommond that all con
tacts lor plastering bo made directly with the
owners of houses, and no. taxen at second-hand
rater from ''master" masons, or "mas.er" carpenter
builders.
As remarked by the New York delegation, it is
more to the interest of tho owner that he take esti
mates directly from those whose skill is called on to
execute it, as in the end the work wou'd bo bettor
and more substantially executed, iho 'master"
mason or ' mastei" carpenter builder who sublets
the p catering to a boss piasterer retains a per cent
age of its value. What entitles blm to this per cent
ugoT Is it tbe privilege of subletting?
All profits rightly belong to those who perform
the labor, and if p asterers do not get their Just pro
fits, but these be arbitrarily absoroed from them by
middlemen, they will recover tbem by other means;
cheap material and Interior wo kmanshio will be
the nsult, to the great loss of tbe owner. Yonr com
mittte would urge ail plasterers to lose no opportu
nity in calling attention to tbe injury and lujustioi
that am the results of tolerating and lostoriug this
"middleman" agent.
Your C'ommitteo is gratified to note the genoral
eare taken by our ocieties to avoid tho trying a ter
nativo of ' strikes," at the same t mo accomplishing
tbe beneficial results souclit for in strikes. Tne
interests of tbe trade and the we 1-being of the
members nave been secured and promoted as
fiimly and as high as those who have indulged
more fieelv in strikes. Let it not be understood,
however, of your Committee, that it has any design
to decry strikes absolutely and per $e, or tor a mo
ment forget they have no usol'ut purposo. It decries
only the abuse of them. It is remaraab'e, however,
in the history ot strikes, that the worst and most un
conscionable strikers are tho-e who condemn and
decry tbem mos. Ibis is particularly notlceab e
now-a-davs wii,h manufacturers, woo -growers, etc.,
who, by high protective tariffs, strike against to
consumers of the country. '1 his high tariff "strUe"
is the most unjust, aousrve, and mischievous s'rike
of any ' combination" that ever existed, and de
serves tbe condemnation and opposition of all.
The muddle 10 whion the eight hour question, as
it is called, is mixed, makes it difficult to consider-
by some, it being remarried as a auestion tor the
civil law to adjust Yonr Committee, however, re
gard it as a purely too al aues'ion. within the
jurisd'etion or authority ot each branch or society
oi inDor, ana mat it snonia not do dragged in the
miie of party politics Whi e regarding it as a mat
ter for each local society to de'eimine, your Coin
mi i tee therefore deem it unwise that any immediate
action be taken on it.
Your Committee leel satisfied that it will rettle
itself when the abuses above referred to beoome
completely eradicated. In tne meanwhile let errors
in wbion tbe eight-hour movement is shrouded be
cleared away. Above all, let us be patient. I he time for
neopting the eiaht-honr system has not yet arrived.
we are ueanng last to it, ana it we continue on in
the lutnre as we have in tbe past, yonr Commit'ee
predict tbe Plasterers will be the first to apply tho
eight-hour system.
