A geoeral meeting of the northern ironmasters was held
yesterday at York, far the purpose of mirky • delegation
from the men beloagisg to the sorthern bnisda of the ben
seekers' Armistice, with the abject of steolag to some
arresgeroost to close the lock-out. Deputatioos were per
mot from the irooseseters of North and South Stead-
shire. The masters having held • preliminary meeting.
deputed • committee of their body to meet the delegates
of the ores, who regimented the Galeaboad executive,
sod many of the principal beets:eke in the earthen
district. The two delegations having met • loos
discussion ensued, during whit► the masa nitrated
their assurance that they bad erased sending say
money to the support of the North Staffordshire
strike, bat that they were sot prepared to re-
embussed the sending of wee tab the North Staffordeltin
district, and with respect to the seeding of paddled ham
into that district, they thought the initiative ought to come
from the masters. The men ia the meth were prepared to
withdraw from the union with the smith, if the northera
meters would do the same. Mr. Deia, • muter, wished to
know why the South Staffordihies men ware not repreesuted
cc the delegatios ? Mr. Base, of the Gateshead execu-
tive, said the Brierlphill executive had been invited to
arie®d the meeting, bet they bad declined to do so. The
mutes' committee thought it wee melees to attempt
any arraogesseat u 1k •bsenee of the South
Staffordshire mem, but they would again consult
the general body. They retired for this purposa
sod on their return Wormed the delegates of the
men that the reseal body of masters had agreed to the
following resolatioe :—"That the Brierly-hill T•ion not
baying responded to the levitation of the Gateehead execu-
tive to attend here to-day, it appease impossible to carry
out soy of the plane foe a geaaal solution of the difficulty
which it was the object of the coefereoce to consider." The
men mid they regretted this decidos, but they had done all
they could., and they would not be further responsible far
the come the general body of the men would now pursue.
The conference then broke op, without say result at all
favourable to the speedy doss of the dispute.
