THE LABOUR QUESTION AT THE EAST.END.—A nu-
merously-attended meeting of stevedores, labourers, and
others employed in the shipping interest at the East-end,
who have struck for an increase of pay end • change la work-
ing hours, was held last evening at the Britatiois Tavern,
Back-road, St. George's East, Mr. Fletcher in the chair, to
consider the most advisable course to adopt towards effect-
ing an amelioration of their position as a clue. The chair-
man stated that giler the previous meeting certain un-
founded repressotation had been made by the masters to
the brokers, sod the men should be unanimous in taking
measures to place their position in its true light before all
parties. He was happy to say several master stevedores
had weeded to the demand for 4s. per daY.
but there were others who were persistent in
the refusal to make the required concession. It wan
• matter for congratulation that the rose had acted quietly
throughout, and it was to be hoped they would matinee to
evince an amicable feeling while demanding their rights.
Several propositions were then submitted to the meeting,
and • long discussion took place as to the advisability of
wattles co the masters who had not recognised the claims
of the men, or of going to the broken who were the prin-
cipal parties columned. The men expressed their deter-
mination to have a half-hour for breakfast allowed them at
half-past eight o'clock each morning, and any nuuestloa
coming from the masters which would not include this con-
cession would meet with unanimous rejection. An hour
should be also allowod for dioner,andthe day's work, instead
of Nosing at 5 o'clock, would run until half-pest Eve, if
required, in order to compensate for the time spent at
breakfast. A deputation of the men was formed, to ae-
quaint the masters sad the brokers of the &deices of the
meeting.
