THE KERLMFN 01• THE TYNE.

river Tyne arid the coil-own• lb. The dispnre bp-

the most pert coofitose to about the country
I without sissy apparent entrails of Puhsistencer exc,f,t
the precarious pittance eworted from the hood IX
charily.

On Friday last they assembt,l on the Windmill
Hills to the number of •boui 600, cud we tinder..
stand they parted with the same views with wh,cll
they met—a determination to abstain from 611 row It
mod their masters shall hare acquiesced in the
terms they proposed. Their chief ground of com-
plaint appears to he, tits! large 'hips are laden at
the spouts, therebyt rendering their laboar less ne-
cessary.
The question between the coal-owners and their
servants appears to Ire sun other sliest • hresch of
contract between the pallier. The krelmen srr
employed from year to )ear, stud. by en old custom,
receive what i 9 culled arks or earliest money, s few
months previous to their entering upon their next
reigagernerriu. It is complained that the coal-
owners do not restrict the use of the 'molar to
loAding a ccet“iii quantity of coals. Have the
coal-owners then swerved from any agreement in
loading *easels at the stsiths beyond the quantity of
see keels ill every ship ? The answer is decidedly
in the negative. because it is known the practice Irmo
been uniformly exercised since the teat stoppage its
1819, and there has been no stipulation that it
should cease. The keelmrn allege that one princi-
pal reason of their stoppage is the demand made
upon them of Is. 641. a tide for keel-rent. The

public will naturally infer that this reduction of
their wages, which they rightly state it in effect to
be, is now urtempied to be enforced by their em-
ployers. The fact is entirely contrary. Some one
or two collieries, imprudently, we think, made this
proposition to the kr elmen they employed ; the arks
were paid, and an engagement was entered into,
with this condition, for the next year. Observe,
this hatpin was only made by one or two collieries,
and of course with a small proportion of the body
of the keelmen. The workmen repented of it,
and their matters consented to their release. it
is not to be di.gui.ed that the keelmeis have
suffered from the want of sufficient employment,
but they err in supposing their masts-is are
under any obligation to sacrifice their own pro-
perty to afford them relief; they cannot demand
that Is. ■ right which may be granted as
boon. They hold an attitude of intimidator, and
they think that necessity will obtain for them what
they do not expect from justice. In leasing their
employments they have committed a breach of
their contract. We do not discuss the policy
which has rendered the greater employment ot keel-
men unnecessaly—that policy which has induced the
proprietors of our collieries to keep up the price of
coals while provisions ere low, by combining to re-
strict the supply. The coal-owners hese expressed
their determination not to stbandon the adriiiiirge
they derive in certain cases firm spouts rather than
keels in loading ships. In 1819 they voluntarily
contributed a farthing a children on all cools coo-
veyed in keels in support of the keelmen's Fund, and
they now declare, that of they comintre to ,sold out,
they will i• petition the Legislature to be relieved
from the tax." We mention this in connexion with
the policy of the pesent differences. That those
who suffer and have repeatedly suffered how their
combinations should endeavour to contrive mean♦
to prevent their recurrence, is nothing •sure slime
might be expected. Application, we are xredibly
informed, was made "within the bat few day., for
the steam-boats to low the keels down the river,
but for reIIDOTII we need not mention, the request
was net complied with. Should any suet measure
he adopted as a temporary substitute, the keelmeu'ir
future employment would be held by a weak te-
nure. In conclusion we may observe, that ale coal_
owners above Bridge, for a considerable time, have
had it in contemplation to convey their coals on the
south side of the Tyne, with the assistance of
steam, by leod-carriage down to Shields, and se
nerd not hazard soy observations on the tendency
of such a meatier. The three folloolog docu-
ments have been published by the panties :so.

ries of (heir jurisdiction; and, iii some Unwrn, front the
meat (mint of the projections, they are clearly nuisances,
sod e. such ought to be übstt-d. But in our petition to
the Mayor on this head (presented on Thursday last) we
i .. have not presumed thus far; we requested only that the
• coal-owners wool., t.ke into consideration the piopriciy of
limiting the grandly of coots taken in at the spouts tar Ste
' keels fur each vessel. Ike reason far %bleb is obvious—
a greater member of ken linen would by that means be em•
• ployeil.
Previous to the lad stop, in 1819, our binding-money, lea
pounds a keel, and one guinea for a bending supper, was staid
t swnstlnslg every year. Some that period these allowances
base gradually been diminished, till the last biadiug, when
they trete wholly taken from us.
i One principal reason of the present stoppage is, the de-
mand which has been made by some of the coal-litters on
the Tyne of one shilling awl threat's a tide for ase of Ole
craft or keel, as • kind of rent charge; which is Neither
t more nor less than reducing in that proportion every man's
11
yams. Thls we consider a peculiar hardship, especially to
il
those who have little employment.
, It was customary every year to enter into conditions fur
, the next, sad Stir the men three mouths before the expire
~.r ties of term of their agreement. This gave us time and op-
ponuois, to make engagements more agreeable to our isle-
tests. That good old custom being now laid aside, we arc
compel!. dVither In the terms dictated to us, ur be turista
stdrift without employment.
Though booed to our employers by articles of agreement,
we lye we are will them wader mutual obligatiosa, sod
Lope we are not bound to starve. It is well knowu that
many of us, especially the kerliwen below Bridge, see very
imperfectly employed. Some of us have had only 56, others
oily iii tides this year, and others again still fewer. It is
wary to conceive the privations and diet •bieb such of us
, .
and their families have suffered under these circiimat
s .
i By a Vole of Common Council, in 1819, the Corporation
of Newcastle engaged to employ all kerlmen out of em-
ployment in dressing the new quay of the gravel, &c al so
much' per ton. This continued only about three months,
I - sod the beeline,. out of employ have not since been employed
by dist bpdy.
i The disbursements from one fund for tile support of our
sick and aged brethien and their widow,' and orphans, last
%. year amounted to 2,5831 7.. 90. This fund, which we have
long laboured to support, for purposes to ouniehres the moat
.
invalseable, is also, we conceive, of g I advaulage to the
town and orighbourhood in which we live, as it greatly re-
. Sieves the ;inrushes from burdens which they would other-

Ned our wages sad puivileges be dimiscshed, poverty sod
