&KIK' or THS N•ILERB OF SOUTH STAFFORD-
fiILISS.—i serious strike has just commenced in the South
Eitaffurdshire district, by which some 3,0013 men are thrown
out of employ. The strike has arisen out of a trade-union
dispute. A lir. Walker took on a man not a member of
the Horse nail Makers' Trades Unica. His men thereupon
demanded his discharge or au advance of wages. Their de-
emed was not complied with, and the 300 men employed by
his left their work. This was five weeks ago. The masters
held a swedes • few days e and resolved not to give any
more work to their men till go.
Mr. Walker's men returned to
work. The two upon this, throughout the district, de.
mended an advance of 6d. per thousand on the nails they
We, and thus a general strike has commenced, the masters
berg determined Out to give such a large advance. A horse-
nail maker's wages average 25e. per week. The men are
mz quiet, but are wandering all about the neighbourhood.
