The crafUmon can not say that re

ties in this state hive in fact eliowi
considerable nnxioty within the pas

o asses by making laws to suit them
Four bills now before the general as

clnsaos , and the advices from the cap !
tal nro that two of thorn a bill tt
prohibit the manufacture of cig&rs ii

ed upon during the present season ,
The other bills nre for the establishment
mont of n bureau of labor statistic )
and for a Hen law for the bettor security
curity and more expeditious colloctior
of wages. The fact is that workmoi
in nearly all , if not all , the trades , will
the possible except ion of the printers
nro doing bettor nnd are in every waj
more prosperous than they have been
since the panto. What , then , in tin
menningof the present agitation amoiif
them ?
It is learned , by careful inquirj
among them here , that they tninh
they uro not getting their share of the
uoneral prosperity of the country.
There is Urge douurid for their ser
vices , and they think they are entitled -
titled to ull the pay the work will
a and. In d ort , they nro uneasy be
cause , though they nro doing very
well , they believe they can and ouyht
to do better.
Then they plead high rents nnd
liigh cost of food ; they are very un
easy and indignant over the present
system of convict labor in state pris
ons ; and last , but very likely most
mportant of all , they uro encouraged
; o demand moro of employers because
.lieir trades-unions , as a rule , are in
flourishing condition , and there is n
; rowinc tendency among the several
trades to rocnrd their interests as
dontical , and to back up ono another
n all ways in their several controvur-
ies with capital. They think they
are in a position to demand a little
nore of capital and they propose to
ry it on. About half the trades rep-
odonted in this city are agitating for
lighor wages.
The printers are not so well situated
as they might bo for making stiff do-
nands upon thoin employers. The
argo nowpipera of this city have
> rotty < ell broken the life of the lo-
sal union. Only two of the largo of-
ices will give employment to union
irinters , ini'l the union is not in n
condition to enforce any important
lomand.
It is not yet apparent what diaposi-
ion the legislature is likely to milcc
f thu anti-convict labor bill. Now
Tursoy for two years paa't had n law in
irco restricting the number of con
vicis who can lo employed in any one
