ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS.

The annual election of Commissioners in the
place of those who go out by.totation took place on
Thursday. The pollingrwas pretty brisk in the
West and South Wards, but in the East Ward was
devoid of excitement, only 39 votes being recorded
altogether, and the poll was closed shortly after tt n
o'clock. The votes were distributed as follows:

THE STRIKE IN THE SOUTH STAP FORDSIIIRE
HORSENAIL TRADE,—A large representative meeting
of ho s ?mail makers was held on Monday night at
Quarry Bank. Delegates were present from Dudley
Seigley, Old Hill, Netherton, Cradley Heath, and
other districts —The Chairman stated during th
hat niae years the horsenail makers' wages had been
reduce I from 4s. 3d. to 2s. per thousands, the result
being that at the present time a skilled workman
could not earn more than 12s. per week, which, it
must be admitted, was totally inadequate for the
labour performed. The operatives, were in an
impoverished state, and they were desirous of im-
proving their positions by asking for an advance in
wags, which the majority of the employers were
willing to concede, providing Mr. Hi.rgs, of Nether-
ton, would state his willingne-s to pay 2s. 6d, a
thousand. A delegate stated he was convinced if
Mr. Higgs would only consent to make the concession
the strike wou'd sooa terminate, as the majority
of employers had consented to concede the advance
providing Mr. Higgs would consent to do so. It
was resolved to continue the strike until the em-
ployeis consented t ) concede an advance of 6d per
thousand.
