TO THE EDITOR OF THE ZIPED4II.

Sza,—To set the public right with regard to the
disputes now pending between the masters and men, we
beg to state that to-day we offered las we have dune on
several previous occasions) to give to our journeymen
2/. 2s. per week each, on condition that they worked
twelve hours per day, coming at six o'clock in the
morning, and dating at seven o'clock iu the evening,
allowing one hour during the day for refreshment. This
offer was unanimously refused, and the men all struck
work. It meat be remembered that tho public are greatly
interested in the masters resisting any exerlAumt demands
by the men, as if increased wages are given it will tend to
increase the prices of articles sold.—Wu are, &c.,

THE TAILORS' STRine.—The state of affairs in
reference to the above strike bad changed but little yester.
day from the position they were in on Tuesday, but that
little the men consider to be in their favour. The ex-
planatory letter sent by the committee to the masters on
Tuesday, stating their willingness yet to meet the masters
at the council board to settle the dispute in an amicable
manner, with the aid of arbitrators, has created a very
favourable impression amongst a largd body of the em-
ployers, several of whom yesterday expressed their desire
to come to terms with their men, some going so far as to
state their willingness to accept the log of the
men. On this latter point, however, the committee
require the signature of the employer before they
allow any of his men to resume work, to prevent any
mistake hereafter from pressure from the other employers to
induce the withdrawal of a verbal promise. The resolution
come to on Tuesday evening by the out-door workers, nut to
take out any work from the shops on strike, has been •
great blow to the larger employee, who have heretofore
depended upon this portion of the labour market to enable
them to meet any dispute with their regular men. On the
other hand, a large body of the employers oonnected with
the Masters' Association publicly express their determina-
tion to resist to the uttermost the claims of the men, and
have called • general meeting of the masters at the
Hanover-square Booms for Saturday next, to concert the
best means of resistance. The men, however, express
confidence that the strike will be virtually Reified in their
favour by that time. Letters were yesterday received by
the committee from the Paris tailors' committee, stating
that the strike there was progressing very favourably for the
men, funds being plentiful. They ray the men of London
need be under no apprehension of foreign workmen coming
over.
