THE STRIKE.
MEETING AT GREENWICH.

--• •• --•
On Friday night a meeting of the non-society men
lately connected with Mesas. Venn and Co.'s factory, took
place at the Fishermen's Arms, Cold Bath, Oreenwich, the
object being to induce th firm to reset them at work on
the grouiv.s of their non.connesion with the dispute, and
their disapproval of the measures of de amalgamated so-
ciety. About 300 were present. It is sufficient now to
state that the men passed a resolution condemnatory of the
proceedings of the amalgamated society, and appointing •
deputation to watt upon Messrs. Penn, expressive of their
desire to get back to their work. One of the speakers ob-
served " it was a sorry sight to see so many men standing
about idle, whose Satunlay night's wages were cat off, but
whs were willing to work. The chairman of the meeting,
and four other mechanics, Shearing, Rouse, Dell, and D.
Thomas, were appointed a deputation to wait un Mr. Penn.

MANCHESTER.
So far as any mutual arrangements are concerned, the
dispute in the iron trades remains in an unaltered position.
The returns in the four police districts in Manchester, up to
yesterday, are similar to those given in our last. There arc
16 machine shop., of which 31 are open, and 13 closed.
When all the hands were employed, they numbered 5,101.
There are in work 1,991, and out of weekly the strike 3,113.
With regard to the labourers, we consider it only fair to
the employers to say that they have very generally made
arrangements for the employment of those connected with
their establishments in straightening up, whitewashinu,
stock-taking, and other occupations ; and we believe a dis-
position ha., been shown, on the part of individual master",
to divide this work vqually among their labourers, by
taking them on in relays. Th.le arrangements will con-
siderably alleviate the distress which will fall upon this
class of workmen sad their families. Prom all we can
,learn, we arc of opinion that the labourers have very
little sympathy with the Amalgamated Society, and we
cannot withhold our cordial approval of the course of those
masters who are acting as we have stated.—Matielicsfer
