THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE our last
Thursday's impression we stated that the differences be-
tween the masters and men had been amicably arranged,
and that the pita were to be opened and the men resume
work that day. The arrangement was carried out by four-
s teen out of the eighteen coWeries which bad been closed.
The other four, the Oaks, Thorncliffe, Monet Osborne, and
Edmund's Main, from various causes did not C011111:1411CO
working. On Saturday morning the Edmund's Main agreed,
and work was begun. On Monday it was found that in

laws, are of which stated that any workman or workmen
being designedly behind time, &c., shall be subjected to •
Sue or dismissal- At the Oaks pit the grievance relates
to a man employed by the workmen to take cognisance of
the weil)hti .b.ofmthe curves in conjunction with a man em-
ployed the masters. So far the matter rest. At the
Stafford Colliery no satisfactory arrangement, we un.
derstand, has yet been come to, the working parties ap-
pointed by masters and men not having commenced the
work which is to settle the wages to be paid. The number
of men belonging to the union who are at present out is
upwards of 90D. Great numbers have left the district during
the Lot two or three weeks ; and should the present state
of things continue, from what we hear there is every like-
lihood of a still larger number migrating to other districts.
