THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.

The only step as yet taken by the members of
the Masters' Associatioe that can be considered hostile to
the workmen is that of keeping the number of men em-
ployed on their various works at the lowest possible num-
ber • with the view of throwing as much labour into the
market as possible, and thus induce the men to accept the
new mode of payment. On inquiry at the Central Com-
mittee Room of the workmen, It appears that the feeling
amongst them against the proposed system grows stronger
daily. The Bricklayers' Society, yesterday, issued a strong
to the men in their branch of the trade calling on
appeal
to refuse the terms offered, and asserting that but
few of the trade have as yet accepted them. The painters
and plasterers have acted in a similar manner. The men
deny the statement rumoured yesterday, that Messrs.
Trollope men have asked for payment by the hour, but
state that only a few individuals have done an. The aggre-
gate meeting to be held this evening is looked forward to
with much interest.

Uri evening a meeting of the members of the Operative
Bricklayers Society, convened/by circular, was be at Far-
ringdon.hall, Snow-bill, for the purpose of eonsidering the
meant position of affairs is the dispute with the masters.
Mr. Wiakwortb in the chair.
After addresses from several speakers, the following re•
solutions were tumaimearily carried :
" That the minute passed at the meeting held at Hawk.
stone-ball, on the 10th of April last, be confirmed."
" We, the members of the Operative Bricklayers' Society
of London, seeing the blow that will be struck against the
privileges we have so long enjoyed by the introduction of
payment by the hour, do hereby pledge ourselves to resist
the same until the obnoxious system is withdrawn."
" We, the members who are working inure than three
days a week, hereby pledge ourselves to pay a levy of ls.
per week for the support of the men locked out, and con-
tinue to pay the name until the present dispute is tatis.
factory settled."
`That the operative bricklayers of Looks are willing to
work at the rate of 6s. per day for five days, and Ys. fur the
half holiday on Saturdays, so making per week.
The usual compliment to the chairman closed the pro.

THE BOLTON WEAVER AND SI-INNER:4.—TIIO
cotton spinners and pearer.loolll weaver are Al at work ;
but the self-actor minders, and the shippers and grinders,
are still on strike. On Wednesday morning these bands
bad a meeting, and afterwards formed in procession, beaded
by a band of music, and visited most of the mills in the
town. They stood for a short time in front of each mill ;
but the bands at work took no notice of them, and the
demonstration passed off very harmlessly. Stripping and
grinding is unskilled labour, and the masters are, we under-
stand, eating other hands to work.
