vince of E. MOSES and SON to defend us from misfitting garments
and extravagant charges. If expenses arc incurred by our fortifica-
tions, and they are charged on the people in rates or taxes, E.
MOSES and SON have the satisfaction of stating that the small
charge for clothing at their Establishments will refund the cost to

present season, a substantial fortification of the purses of the eti-
zens, providing them at the same time with the productions of the
first artists of the age. The proper fortifications of the C,ty will no

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
INTENTIONS OF tut EMPLOYERS.
Yesterday afternoon the Executive Council of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers, &c., held a special
meeting at their offices, 25, Little Alie-street, White-
chapel, for the transaction of general business connected
with the dispute; Mr. Muito in the chair.
Some preliminary business •of no public interest hav-
ing been disposed of,
Llr. ALLAN, general secretary, stated that ho wished
to call the attention of the council to a document of a
somewhat extraordinary nature, which had recently been
issued in the shape of a printed circular, marked " pri-
vate and confidential," by the Executive Council of the
Employers' Association, sittint, in Bucklersbury, to
their members, and with which he had been that day
favoured by an employer whom he believed to be con-
nected with that association. Mr. Allan then read as

"Central Association of Employers of OperativeEngineers,leers, 30. Bucklersbury, Jan. 20, 1852.
" Dear' Sir,—The Executive Council met hero yester-
day, and were is full conference from eleven till four

to
their machinations,
and to seiz ) the time when masters are least prepared
for resistance to put their insidious practices into ope-
ration.
"On the 2d of January instant, Mr. Newton, the
ringleader of this movement, observed, ' That the men
took no notice end felt no excitement on the subject of a
o
heteele
combination among the employers, kn
, g that they
did not possess the elements of Como-illation amongst
them; but that there was such an inordinate love of
self that, if after having pledged themselves to one an-
other to close their works, they yet would, on the pro-
spect of the slightest pecuniary advantage to be gained,
break faith with one another, and throw their pledges
and combinations to the winds. The employers as a
body cared not one pin for individual honour, or their
plighted word, but had sacrified the one and broken the
other over and over again.' Upon this calumny the men
have built their hopes, and now they find that the mas-
ters have honourably stood by each other the workmen
are beginning to waver, to quarrel amongst themselves,
and to seek for reconciliation on the terms of the em-
ployers.
" A little firmness, perseverance, and sacrifice now, by
maintaining the present attitude of inaction until some
considerable body of the artisans express satisfactorily
and unmistakeably their condemnation of the practices
which have driven the masters to their present course,
will ease the latter, and that permanently, from the
future of the intolerable dictation to which they have
been subjected, and which was in rapid course of leading
to further and more peremptory measures of tyranny
and exaction on the part of the employed. Where there
is a will, the men will find a way of disavowing publicly
the practices adopted in their name. All the meetings
and speeches of the workmen have been ou one side, and
breathe a spirit of triumph and defiance. Until the steady
and well disposed call their meetings, and defy the
Amalgamated Society, the evil is not cured; and the
,
employers must maintain a position which they have
adopted with serious deliberation, and will soon be justi-
fied by their success if they will only deserve it by a
patient continuance in joint inaction, and upholding the
good faith they have hitherto kept with each other.
" I am, dear sir, your most obedient servant,
" SIDNEY SMITH."
The reading of this circular caused some little merri-
ment amongst the members of the council, and the gene-
ral opinion expressed upon the subject of its contents
was that the employees evidently regretted the conse-
quences of the step which they htaken, and found
themselves in a position from which they foresaw some
difficulty in extricating themselves. Satisfaction was
generally expressed at the fact of having obtained pos-
session of an important document, intended to. be kept
secret; the more especially
in ignorance of the proceedings of the employers' coin.

largest establishments in this kingdom the peremptory
ordinance is observed, that " the engine should
be
stopped and 'no - productive work carried on." The
"Executive Council" ofthe Amalgamated Society declines
to withdraw the notices which compelled the stoppage,
and as the men profess to uphold them in their decision
we can only conclude that they are resolved on the pro.
secution of the schemes which rho " Council" have thus
commenced, and which in the society's report for De-
cambee lest they so plainly acknowledge. What pur-
poses these schemes comprehend, and to what objects
they are directed, we have explained so repeatedly,
and
demonitrated by such unanswerable vouchers, that on
this point no more doubts can be sincerely entertained.
However reasonable or practical had been the demands in
themselves, it would have been absolutely ruinous to the
masters to have yielded to a summons so made, so quali-
fied, and so aimed; but, in point of !set, even these very
requisitions which were selected by Mr. Idewtou for the
eetnmeecement 'of operations are indafeesible ern in
that view in which he hypocritically endeavours to place
them.

The Council demanded by formal notice served up on
empl )yers the ±,ummaryabc,,lition of "ever.iine." Omitcteg,
sow,: for a 'nionisrit,, the true signification of this "ad-
' dice" in the mouths of Mr. Newton and his colleagues,
too will state the whole question on its own merits for
die information of reeders, who, often as they have
'itr2rd the expnssion, are, perhaps, not ,/et fatly arriz,,:d
of its meaning. Theortlinary working d 47 of au engineer
is considered to be tap hours—any time al;teve this ex-
pended in his master's servicep being '• overtime." Oc-
casionally the employers say to-their- men, "We hai,2
some Work in hand which must be delivered by a certain
pried, and which cannot be finished unless you make
more than ten hours in your day. Instead of leaving
therefore, at six or seven o'clock, you mint stop t:l
eight or nine." This is the practice of cvortirnt:'
which the masters have been summoned by the Amal.
gamated Society to abolish immediately. In consider-
ing its bearings, the reader must first understand that
this overtime is not only paid for, but paid for at a
premium. Thus, for instance, if! an operative works
two hours of an evening overtime, ho gets not only ad-
ditional wages for these two hours, but they are reckoned
to him as two hours and a quarter, showing a bonus or
gratuity in his favour of more than 12 per cent. As
the employer, therefore, must evidently be a loser by the
particular bargain which charges him extra wages for
what must, at the close of a hard day's work, be infe-
rior labour, why, it will be asked, is the practice
adopted? The men allege that the custom overtaska the
energies of those employed, and, by such an undue con-
centration of work, keeps other workmen in proportion
out of employment. They say that some are surfeited,
while others are starving, and in the assumed interest,
therefore, of the whole body, they demand the discon-
tieuance of the practice altogether.
On the side of the masters the question takes this
Form:—They say that the business of engineering is ex-
ceedingly irregular and peculiar. They cannot, like
other manufacturers, prepare a general stock against a
general demand. Their whole occupation is an aggre-
gate of particular orders, specially given, and in the
majority of instances requiring execution and delivery
by an appointed time. To perform those orders,
if they happen to exceed the ordinary strength of
the factory, they must either employ more hands or
work their hands extra time. The former of these al-
ternatives is that now dictated by the " Council," but
the masters make a very reasonable statement in reply.
They observe that such an increase of hands requires an
extension of premises, and that though the men might
be dismissed when the emergency had passed, the build-
ings would still remain, entailing outlay and loss. No
manufacturer can be expected to regulate his premises
by exceptional instead of average occasions. Even in
the interest of the men, too, they point out that the
" overtime" system is the safest. Suppose, for instance,
an employer keeping 250 workmen to receive an order
exceeding by one-fifth the strength of his establishment.
He has evidently the option either of employing the men
already in his pay one-fifth overtime, or of increasing
their number by one-fifth more hands. In the
the former ease he works them two additional hours,
but in the latter he would be introducing fifty
fresh men into the shop and neighbourhood,
who must be thrown upon the labour market to
glut and depreciate it when the occasion for their ser-
vices had passed. He argues, therefore, that it is better
for the men to execute. if posSible, all the work by the
regular strength of the shop than to adopt a system
which presumes a body of unemployed operatives,
always floating loosely in the market, to be ready against
emergencies which may not occur three times in the
year. Moreover, it is alleged, in defence of the practice,
that it is sometimes absolutely indispensable, inasmuch
as only a given number of men can find standing room
at the work in hand, so that, if time is an object, it must
be made up by the extra labour of individuals.
So far, it must be allowed that these arguments are
good, and that they do in plain truth convict the demand
of the 'Council" for the absolute and summary abolition of
a practice often necessary, and rarely without some justi-
fication. On the other hand, however, it is equally clear
that the employers of labour are under temptations to
pervert the expedient by carrying it systematically to
excess for the sake of their own gains. It is quite
conceivable that a master may maintain premises
too small for his average business in reliance on the re-
source provided by working his establishment overtime,
and that the men may be thus too constantly taxed for
his benefit or convenience. This, indeed, appears, at
first sight, to be the view taken by the remonstrants, for
they protest simply against "systematic overtime."
When, however, we refer to the explanation given by the
" Council" itself, we discover at once that the demand
has no such reasonable purport. Mr. Newton and his
accomplices maintain, we believe, that in .no case shall
overtime be tolerated except on occasion of a break-
down, and for the aid rendered to the employer in these
straits they generously stipulate that heshould pay
double.
The misfortune of the whole case, as Lord Cran-
worth sagaciously observed, is that, practically speaking,
neither masters nor men are left to make their own bar-
gains. If perfect liberty of action could be secured on
both aides there would be no ground left for dispute.
Every reader knows from his own experience that a car-
penter or a bricklayer, or a workman of any sort, can
always be found but too glad to make 7i days in his
week by working two hours extra per day. The chance
would be considered, as in truth it is in the case before
us, a most fortunate privilege by four men out of five,
What the " Council" profess to complain of is that there
is no option given, but that a man is forced, at his mas-
ter's discretion, either to work overtime or to leave his
work altogether. This is certainly hard. But, on the
other hand, it is perfectly evident that Mr. W. Newton
and his " pickets" would never leave a man at liberty to
accept the chance before him. It is because they would
never permit him to say " yes" that the masters forbid
him to say " No." If this destructive control were abo-
lished, a workman with few calls upon him, with an in-
clination for self-improvement, or a liking for leisure,
might decline overtime work, while it is unquestionable
that others with large families, long foresight, or untiring
habits of industry, such as we constantly meet with,b
would be ready and willing to undertake the duty. But
this is the intolerable point of the society's demand.
They say, not that any man ought to bo free to decline
such work, but that no man shall be free:to take it; and
they would prevent John Brown and his employer from
working comfortably together because John Smith
wants a share in the transaction.

We have, then, put the overtime question in a plain
light, though, as the reader is aware, no such favoura-
ble view can be taken of it in the demands of the " Ex-
ecutive Council." Their object is not to spare work-
men, but to distribute work; not to modify the dealings
between employer and employed, but to force other
parties into employment against the desire of both. In
this it cmcerned the most vital interests of trade that
they should be resisted to the uttermost, but we should
rejoice to see that the consequent embarrassments were
confined to those immediately culpable. Is it absolutely
indispensable that all works should be stopped? Cannot
the masters open their establishments to those avowing
themselves free to sell their own labour on their
own terms? Cannot unskilled labourers and non-
society men be taken again into employment?
We think such an overture might be made, and if it were
so, instead of offering the outstanding operatives our own
advice, we would refer them to that given by " A Prac-
tical Mechanic," whose letter we publish this morning.
They will there see, as in a looking-glass, the results in
which a strike like their own actually ends. As surely
as possible their repetition of the attempt will meet with
a repetition of the consequences, and once more,
there
fore, we urgently advise them to be wise in time.
