TIIIC LA.BOURERS' UNION IN DORSET.

We learn that the Union "tip" for Dorset is
12s. • week and perquisites, or 15s. cash; and
it is believed that a large number of the
farmers will at once grant this application,
and for the rest Unionists are confident
they will be obliged to pay it or get fresh mem,
who, however, they believe will soon be im-
bued with the Union principles. If there is
anything at all in the National Union, there
seems little reason to doubt that by strikes and
migration such an amount of pressure wid be
brought to bear on the agriculturists that the
present demand will be enforced ; and it seams
to us that the question for farmers at the
present moment ni—shall we give the men 35.
a week extra, and so possibly stay the progress
of the Union; or shail we let the matter drift
till the form of the Union is applied In each
parish, and men have acquired the dangerous
faculty of combination, which may be a coostaut
spring of difficulty. Where is the (number of
Agriculture—where are our Farmers' Clubs at
this juncture? The labour question has been
talked about for years, and probably pest discus-
sions have led to the extension of piece work, but
now the labourers themselves have taken up the
matter, and will settle it if nothing be done
after their own fashion. Mr. Arch and others
of the Warwickshire leaders are coming to Dor-
chester next week, and will afterwards make a
program through the county : is it not time the
agriculturists took counsel together on the sub-
ject? The following is the ultimatum of the
Whiteohnroh labourers, delivered to their em-
ployers on Monday morning :
