PROPOSED BUILDING and ENGINEERING
WORKMEN'S FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
We regret to hear that the committee appointed at
the meeting held in Gulidhall, on 11,h December, 1849,
have not succeeded in organizing the proposed soCiety,
and are about to return to the subscribers the amounts
placed at their disposal. The total sum subscribed was
about 1,1001. It will be recollected that the idea of
forming a society for the benefit of building and en-
gineering workciest originated with Mr. Cockerell, who
had long felt the want in this country of some strong
b of union and good feeling between employers and
employed. We cannot say that the failure of the at-
tempt has caused us so much surprise as it has regret:
at starting we saw reasons for believing that the issue
was doubtful. We agree with the deputation of work-
men, that to make the society acceptable a" sick fund"
was indispensable, and we think the committee should
have taken the better view of human nature, and in-
cluded it in their scheme, even at the risk of an oc-
casional imposition. Care in the admission of paembers,
proper regulations, and the establishment of district
committees might, we think, b 3 made to protect the
funds sufficiently. We still look for one great and
general " Builders' Provident and Benevolent Institu-
tion," uniting masters, men, and employers by kindly
ties, and capable of supplying all the wants and neces-
sities to which accident, misfortune, or old age, might
expose them.—Builder.
