' 134, DUKE-STREE r, LIVERPOOL. Trades' Unions. The working of trades' unions in the various branches of the building trade was entered upon be fore the Royal Commission in evidence given , by persons connected with operative societies, and evidence of Mr. Edwin Coulson, secretary of ti,e- Operative Bricklayers' Society of London, will be found peculiarly interesting, opening up, as it does, to public view many " customs of trade" apart from the society itself. The witness stated that this society was established for " trade purposes," and besides supporting mem bers " out of work" (i.e., on strike) it paid for the burials of members and their wives, and assisted travelling members. It has no sick fund. The society numbers 96 branches, all in Great Britain, with about 5,700 members. The contribution of a member is only 3d. a week ; the yearly income is about £2,700 ; and the reserve fund last December was £3,200. About £3OO or £4OO a year were spent in strikes, and it had not extended beyond that since 1861, it being found, the witness explained, that in all those districts were lodges had been recently established the men, "in consequence of the organisation," had been successful "in obtaining an advance of wages without a protracted strike," R pti ri, all, advance, he said, "as was satisfactory to IWirieti at present." • thitayp the history of several strikes; sme of which he said 'had -.been: 'eauied by the employers endeavouring to force objection able rules.upon men, while others had been caused by demands for increase of wages. These de mands for au increase of wages were made by tho men after they " considered the rate of living, and also the wages paid in the adjacent districts." Men can lay more bricks of an inferior character than of the better sort, and the men make not the slightest objection to lay these bricks. They made no objec tion to lay bricks made by machinery., and it was totally untrue that men would not lay machine made bricks—at all events, such an objection had not oc curred in the London district. " High moral feel ing" was quite against such stamping of work as described by Mr. Connolly as in practice among the masons, and witness believed that trades' unions promoted a " more honourable feeling among the men." The society had no secret rules such as the engineers. _ " Everything is above board," said the witness. " We think as Englishmen .1 hat everything we do should see daylight, and therefore every rule of the society is in that book." There was no rule in existence, he said, to prevent a nein putting down his trowel and laying the bricks with both hands, and no such custom. He never knew of any com plaint being made to a foreman, with an intimation that. a certain man should be dismissed upon that ground. Ile declared, as officially representing the Bricklayers' Society, that the society and men make no objection to a man using two hands to bricks ; but then-the -witness spoke only as the representa— tive of one society, as he could not tell what was done in other societies. There was a great differ ence in the skill of workmen, but it was a rare thing for men to receive anything for their extra skill or ability, unless it was to induce them to act as " bell horses ;" that was, to do as much work as possible, irrespective of quality. Ile added this remark, upon which he was presently cross-examined, • and not without result. "It is quantity now, unfortunately, in public buildings that is required, and not quality. As to quality it is no use to go to public buildings for that at the present time." In reply- to Mr. Mathews he said that two workmen received the same rate of wages, even if one should be very adroit, and the other very slow ; but there was no restriction like the " chasing" rule among the stonemasons as to the rate at which men should work. A man might, if he could, lay a thou sand bricks a day and so reap the reward of his skill, and there would not be the slightest objection to work with bins on the part of the society men ; but there was an objection to piecework, and the men individually (that is without the action of the union) refuse to work for the men who take piece work. There were no rules against working over time, and no objection to any numberof apprentices legally bound, but they objected to labourers being promoted from the hod to lay bricks, and he said where this was done bricks were simply packed in dry where the work was extensive. An examination was commenced by Lerd Elcho with respect to the inferiority of the works in public buildings, and the witness said he meant by this term Government buildings. Lord Elcho said, " Take the Foreign-office, do you consider that an example of what you have been describinn , ?" and the witness replied " I include that with the other buildings. It is called piecework, but of course it is not really piecework. It is given out to the men by the man who is placed over them that they have got this work as piecework, and to make it appear to the man that they had piecework the privilege was given to those over them of paying them, and in paying them they paid off whatever they choose according to their abilities. The inference gene-. rally drawn (and which is pretty correct) is that" the foreman pockets the balance or bonus. Although there is the quantity of work done that is allowed by the firm, the quality is out of the question." Sir William Erie asked--" Government wanting the Foreign-office to be built, instead of paying a just price for day labour, and having the work properly done, what do you say to the course pursued ?" Witness—" Mr. would take this course. He wants to get as much work as he possibly can with out its appearing that the work is let by him. To do this ho employs a foreman, and this fore man gives it out to the men that it is as piecework to him, and no in the place of the ordinary clerk paying these men as he would other men the foreman pays the men." Mr. Harrison—" The men do not work piecework ; but they work by the day, do they not?" Witness—". They work by the day." Sir D. Gooch—" Then, as you p•tt it, it is rather a swindle against the men, to use a strong term ?" Witness—" It is a swindle against the men and a swindle against the Govern ment." The mischief to the Government, he ex plained, was that proper quality was not in the work done; and the same thing was done, he said, in the making of railways. The employers shut their eyes to the matter, and the clerks of the works were in fault, the inducement to the latter to shut their eyes to this work being, he supposed, that, they received a direct profit from the work in some way or other. The union, the witness said, did nothing to discour age these practices, and would receive no encourage ment from the employers if it did. Then the question arose as to the solidity of work of the present day as compared with work of bygone times. Lord Elcho asked, " Looking at the old work which you have had to take down, and com paring it with modern work, do you think that there was more reality and honesty in the old work than there is in the modern ?" The witness replied, " I do. You find that now all kinds of rubbish are used to make mortar. If you pull down an old piece . of wolk, you find the mortar hard and sound, but if you do that in the new work rfter a few years, you find the mortar crumbles to pieces." Mr. Mathews Does that arise from a superior knowledge of making mortar on the part of the old people?" Witness —" Not at all." Mr. Mathews—'• I think we have heard it slid that the art of making mortar in the days of the Romans was much superior to the art in vogue now, and that is the reason why old buildiags last so much longer." The witness an swered, " There now men who arc capable of doing anything with a brick that a brick can do, and of doing superior work to that done iu the olden times. Give the men time and material, and they can do anything." In reply to Lord Elcho, he said that as a general rule the work done in the last century was superior to that done at the present time; and Mr. Roebuck said, "And that in spite of trades' unions?" to which the witness replied, " Yes; we are only too happy to do the work as well as possible, but we often have no encouragement to do it as well as it might be done." He said that better bricks were now made than in the olden time, but the fault he explained was in the bad mortar and in the honesty, or rather dishonesty, of the work. Some sewers' work, he said, done on both sides of the water wav ":11 done, because there were inspectors or clerks of ..et.e.:work who knew the trade, and that work was done by day work. As to the inferiority of work done, he said, he could point to some houses having 17 to 20 rods of brickwork with bnly 20,000 bricks. in the whole house in place of 73,000 - bricks, inde- . pendently of the bats brought among the bricks, and he explained that this was done by having " pockets" of broken bricks and mortar placed where there should be solid bricks. This " roguery," as Mr. Roebuck called it, was done by day work, and the men got nothing out of it, the houses being " built to sell." The following examination took place regarding a peculiar trade custom of which much has been said :—Lord Elcho—" In your trade is there such a system as what you call picqueting ?" Witness— " Yes." Lord Elcho—" Under your rules how is that carried out?" Witness—" When an employer infringes our customs and refuses to comply with the conditions of the working rules there set forth, or with the demands for an advance of wages, we report to the society the names of the men who are working on that job, and we appoint a man to watch there, and as far as possible to use all the in fluence he can to get the men away from the job." Lord Elcho—" That is to say, to use his influence with non-society men ?" Witness—" With non society men or with any other men that might be on the work." Lord Eleho—" What influence has he over non-society men?" Witness—" No other in fluence than this—the first opportunity he has he will speak to the man and point out the injury that we consider he is forcing upon our society, as well as the injury to himself, and he will endeavour to get him to leave the job." Mr. Roebuck—" But in regard to this nou-society man, supposing that he had no other employment, and that this was a job which he had got, how would it be an injury to him to go on to that job ?" Witness—" He would be doing an injury to our men by taking their place." Mr. Roebuck—" But he would be doing no injury to himself, surely ?" Witness—" No,' perhaps not:" Mr. Roebuck.—" Or to non-society men ?" Wit ness—" Or to nou-society men." Mr. Roebuck— " And supposing lie took that view of it, that it was not an injury to himself or to non-society men, and supposing that he did not care for the rules of. the society, what would be the next step ?" Witness— " The next step would be that our men would re port him to oar strike committee." Mr. Roebuck --" And what then ?" Witness—" His name would be circulated among the members, who would be in formed what he , had done." Mr. Roebuck—" So that the result would he that he, being a non society man, his name would be reported to the memberi, and they would not work with that man on further jobs ; that is the next step, I imagine ?" Witness— " Our rules give no authority to men to cease work against any non-society man, let him have committed himself against any of our mem bers." Mr. Roebuck—" Then, what is the object of reporting him, if no result is to follow from that reporting ?" Witness—" The society takes no action ;it rests entirely with the men." Mr. Roe buck—" What action do the men take ?" Witness —" They shun him generally ; send him to Coventry." Mr. Roebuck—" They will not work on a building where he is, you mean?" Witness•—" Yes, they will work on the building, but send him to Coventry." Mr. Roebuck—" They do not speak to him?" Wit ness—" Just so." Mr. Mathews —" There is no phy sical obstacle, but a moral obstacle is put in the man's way ?" Witness —" Yes." The witnessfurtherstated that, in addition to the 5,700 members in this society, there was another society of from 6,000 to 7,000 members at Sheffield. He believed there were from 20,000 to 30,000 bricklayers in the United Kingdom, and he detailed some facts relative to men who had taken part in strikes being set down as marked men and refused employment. This concluded his evidence. Naval and Military Intelligence.

Eimonstone, Commodore of the Dockyard, Staff Commander Hilliard, Super intendent of Shipping, and other officers were in official attendance. The V ivid immediately steamed down the river for Antwerp, Commander Sulivan stating that he should in all probability land his Royal passenger soon after 7 o'clock this morning.

A prelitnint.ry trial of the engines of the screw steam sloop Daphne, 4, was made outside Plymouth Bre ikwater on Wednesday, under the supervision of Captain George 0. Willes, C. 8., and Mr. Wil liam Dinnen, Chief Inspector of Machinery, from the Indus, and of Mr. Robert Nicoll, Assistant to the Chief Engineer at Keyham Steamyard. She is of 1,08 L tons burden, and her engines are of 350- horse power. They are in charge of Mr. Henry Cooper, and were constructed by Messrs. Ravenbill, Hodgson, and Co. They are precisely like those on board the Amazon, which was sunk by collision with the Osprey off Torquay. The Daphne is also of the same dimensions and character, excepting that she has been supplied with a collision bulkhead for ward, and that all her hatchways are fitted with iron rod gratings, to aid in preventing the • -1 seas in heavy weather, through whir' ji rAnng of London was lostin the Day of 13: 4 0 7 rr,Partiy the Daphne cured mile gave 13.740 knots; second, 12.587 ; third 13.383 ; fourth, 12.245 ; nab, 13.130 ; and sixth, 11.960 ; mean 12.836. Fosur runs on half boiler power gave a mean of 11.054/ It will be observed that there was a diminution. of speed as the trial progressed. The cause of this diminution could not be readily accounted for, and iewas therefore deter mined to endeavour to discover it, and to have a test trial next week. The Daphne's screw (Griffiths's) is two-Waded ; diameter, Ifift. ; pitch, 13ft. gi n . Under full boiler power th , incan rt . volutions of the screw were 91; halt boiler 7,?nwer, 781 ; vacuum, 25.

She will go down the river in a few days on trial. A party of Chinese Mandarins of distinction, at present residing at Belsize-park, and who spoke the English language with perfect fluency, but who signed their names in Chinese characters, yesterday visited the departments of Woolwich Arsenal by special permission from - the Secretary of State for War. Yesterday the War Department transport Marl borough commenced the shipment from the Upnor Castle magazines of a quantity of powder andother ammunition to be removed from the stores to Wool wich, in order to make room for the ammunition from the grand magazine, Chatham, the whole of which is to be removed in consequence of the proxi mity of the new blocks of buildings in course of erection for the married non-commissioned officer's and men of the 3d depot battalion to the magazine. c A o r ni ni h m u o rs t da h t grandetbiyon tthe is e workmen ri magazine nkgel ep erob belonging il n de t en o dg na l]e g to the Ordnance establishment Ch a th am , an d addi tional removed store erat from 1,000 barrels of cartridge ammunition have Upnor Castle for the powder and shell, the whole ofwhich will be removed in th e course o f t h e en suing week. The grand magazine is ordered to be converted into store warehouses for war material. The works at the new buildings for the married troops, which have been suspended pending the order from the War Department as to the removal of the contents of the grand magazine, are to be proceedecl . with. The detachments of the Ist Battalion of the 20th Regiment and the 91st Highlanders landed at Gravesend from the chartered troopship Beaumaris Castle, from Calcutta, were yesterday forwarded to join their respective depots, the 20th to Devonport and the 91st to Stirling. A number of artificers and labourers belonging to the manufacturing departments of Woolwich Arsenal continued working through all last night in order to make up the time allowed on Easter Mon day to be granted as a holiday. The same privilege 'BA been extended to the departments in the dock yard. The Arsenal, however, will be closed likewise on Saturday, giving three consecutive days free. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Arthur Morrell, from the Duke of Wellington, to the Research, vice Commander Grant, promoted ; Lieut. Charles Stirling to the Excellent; John Noble, surg., addi tional, to the Cumberland; Robert Mungle, surg., additional, to the Cumberland, for service in the Naval Barracks at Sheerness ; and George Curtis, assist.-surg., to the Cumberland. The Engine-Drivers' Strite. It is stated by the railway officials at Leeds that nearly all the usual goods traffic is now attended to, and that many trains which a few days ago were either entirely interrupted or very uncertain are now despat died and returned with pretty fair punctuality. Stoppages at intermediate stations are no longer so much disregarded, and on the whole the towns and villages are well attended to. Of course, a large (-paucity of goods has accumllated at the various termini and iu the roadside sheds, but iu order to make a considerable clearance of these arrears extra heavy trains will be put on to-day. As every accident, however slight, has now at tached to it unusual importance, it is as well to state that a collision of two goods trains which took place at Arthington, midway between Leeds and Harro gate, yesterday morning, was more the result of damp weather than of incapacity in the engine drivers. Owing to the slippery state of the line, the driver of a train from Stockton could not obey the signals, and came into collision with a few laden waggons which had just arrived from Darlington. The railway company have announced that the usual excursions will take place on Easter Monday and Tuesday to Scarborough, hull, &c. There are reasons for believing, however, that the North Eastern officials do not find that good and reliable engine-drivers are so very abundant as now and then has been represented. Such men as they womad, even in the present emergency, trust upon one of their locomotives are by no means to be had at a moment's notice. It is only skilled and intelligent mechanics who are permitted to take the place of those who have withdrawn their services. It is im portant that this should be known, as next week the holyday traffic will be considerable, and the public may rest assured that their lives and limbs are not to be trusted to the hands of ignorant men selected for a great responsibility at random. E. W. Curley, Thomas Gurtees, John Robson, Richard Crane, Edward Wheatley, and Peter Waugh, engine-men recently employed on the Carlisle sec tion of the North-Eastern Railway, were summoned before the Newcastle magistrates on Wednesday afternoon, charged with breaking their contract with the above company, having left their service without givingthe usual month's notice. Mr. Blackwell, bar rister, appeared for the company ; and Mr. J. P. Roberts for the defendants. The case of Curley was called on first. John Chater, the foreman of the loco motive department ou the Carlisle section, stated that Curley had wrought for the company 17 or 18 years. He had given him a copy of the rules, and had learnt that he was in possession of them, and it was proved that horeceived £3 128 for a fortnight's wages. The rules stated that an engine-driver must give a month's notice before he can leave the service 0f the company, and in case he quitted his em ployment without such notice all his wages had to be forfeited. Mr. Rollerts made a long speech for the defence; and after consulting it was deter mined by the Bench to adjourn the whole of the cases until the 17th of May. At Stockton on Wednesday nine of the company's workmen appeared before the magistrates charged with leaving the service of the company on the Stockton. and Leeds section without having given the usual mouth's notice. Mr. Dodds appeared for the company, and Mr. Cleminitt for the de fence. Septimus Dixon, Thomas Rose, and Richard Trotter were convicted, and were sentenced to w . 14 days' imprisonment eac h in Durham G h hard labour.
