resist every attempt at dictation on the part of the workmen.
The proceeding., which throughout were characterised
by the greatest Unanimity, closed about • quarter
before six eNdedg. Tee ether facts we may add, which do
not appear la the 'Metal proceedings. A general desire
and determination was expressed, teat as the men had
threatened a strike, their object and intention should be
tested, and that the question between the employers and
employed, having been raised by the latter, should now be
brought to some clear and definitive issue. We learn that
individually nearly all the firms in this district have re-
ceived from their customers, for whom they are making
mill or other machinery, in some cases under contracts with
penalties as to non-fulfilment in time, the most cordial
assurances that they approve of the course taken by the
employers, and that they are disposed, under the eiream-
stances, to extend to them the utmost amount of indul-
gence that may be sought in the completion of these con-
tracts. Under circumstances such as these, lacking that
which is an element of strength in some strikes, popular
approval and support, it behoves the workmen to pause ere
they take a step which, once taken, will assuredly prove
irremediable. Up to last night it was quite uncertain at
Manchester whether the operatives would pause, or were
prepared to run the risks which must follow should the
strike be persevered in.
