RADSTOCK.—Tgg Cowsln Smile it( Sonia-
egranien.—Tbe evils eonsequenti upon • strike are
making themselves felt on all heeda in and round
Radatock, where a strike of collier' upon an extensive
scale had taken place. It is felt that the lowering of
wages was made at the instigation of a newly appointed
underviewer, a north-countryman. The numerous
workmen are much embittered against him, and it has
been whispered that, though they mii,ht secede to R
smaller reduction than that attempted, they cool I not
be got to work again with this muler-viewer. They
have manifested their dislike to him in different ways,
such as carrying about his effigy and chalking his
portrait in a coffin, but beyond them unpleasant and
grim tokens of their disfavour they hare not gone.
Those out of employment and their families have been
consider tidy pinched. All farming or other work
that could be got in the locality has been eagerly
calight at, and throe who could get no work to do have
been obliged to solicit awl front those of their brethren
who are more fortunately situated. We hays heard that
managers of collieries have given It SS their opinion
that the redaction attempted has been no gene, and
that, to ray the least, the manager of the Radstrick
Colliery would have acted far wiser if he had contended
himself with • more moderato concession from
the employed. At Bristol's own door, namely, in
some rens of Bedminster and at Ashton, much distress
and destitution have been occasioned in many farnibes
by the long-continued strike at Ashton Vale Colliery.
The wages at this pit we learn were originally en • par
with those given at tie other pits in the neighbour.
hoed, but the proprietors, for an increase of pay,
induced each worker to produce 26 cwt of coal daily
above the quantity similarly obtained at other pits. In
time there was • great accumulation of the mineral on
the hank, and work was discontinued until a clearance
was effected Then • reduction of 4s. in the pound was
next atterutded, but the men refused to work long at
the radioed rates. The proprietors snbeequently
wanted the men to work at a lower rate than was given
at other pits in the neighbourhood, but this they
declined to do, and the works have ceased for several
weeks The colliers "without ineumbranco" have
sought other Gelds of labour, while those with families
have been conetrained to remain in the hope that some-
thing to suit them might "turn up." They have got
work where they could, bat have not been very
euccenful in this way, and the privations entailed upon
them by the lass of their weekly wage has been
described to us, by eye-witnesses, as very great,
and the distress suffered patiently and unobserved as
beertrending. This -proprietors, too, must be great
sufferers. They have to pay hands solely to keep the
mine dear of water, and is is supposed that they will be
put to gnat expense to reopen the workings.
