GLASGOW OPERATIVES.
It gives us sincere pleasure to he informed that several
weavers are working for Mr. Hutchison in Camlaebie, with-
out the least molestation ; and that some other cause must
have existed, for the affair noticed in our paper, than the
circumstance of Mr. Smith's family being employed at pre..
sent in that respectable house. Indeed, we believe that &
number of weavers who were at one time most active in
the measure of exclusion, would be most happy to be again
engaged. The weavers display a laudable anxiety to have
every circumstance explained which might favour the idea
(if any such exist, which we rather doubt,) of re-enacting
the Combination Laws.
The operative spinners, who have returned to their
work, deny that they have gone in unconditionally. They
state that it was a special bargain that they were to pay no
more than 30s. as compensation for the stoppage of the
mills. We gave the account on the authority of the
owners or managers of the mills which we specified, and
have written authority for it from more than one.
We understand that the operative spinners, at the greater
part of the mills, refuse to return to their work, agreeably
to the resolutions of the masters, although the operatives
very well understand that, if they give up all interfereuse
and conduct themselves properly, the deduction is likely
to be less than the sum offered by themselves, intima-
ting plainly that it is the right to interfere, and not the
money, they are contending for. A very simple illustration
will show how the matter stands. Suppose a piecer was to
behave improperly and his master turns him off: the
pieces returns and says, I will give you 35. to take me
back. No, says the operative spinner, but return to }out
work and behave properly, and I will deduct sixpence per
week from your wages for four weeks, and then I may
likely forgive the rest. Oh no, says the piecer, 1, the sa-
vant, must dictate the terms to you, the master.
The proprietor of a powerful loom factory in town, who
had a six months contract with an English company for
his yarns, yesterday rec.ivxl a letter from them direct irons
Hytte, near Manchester, intimating that in consequence of
the cotton spinners in that district having struck, they are
are at present rendered totally unable to fulfil their oblige-
Ilion. They, however add, that they hope the strike will
be merely temporary.—Cilawou: Chronicle.
