from being workmen themselves, had in a few years grown
to be millionaires. Let the men be true to themselves and
their order, and they would soon obtain a much fairer remu-
nerction than they were now being paid. A court of arbitra-
tion would be one of the means to this end. He felt satisfied
that by it, if they should not succeed in getting back the
ls. which was last taken off them, they would certainly get
half of it. (Cheers.) He would pledge his honour, yea, his
soul, that before such a tribunal facts could be adduced that
would for ever destroy the scale of remuneration originally
laid down by Mr. G. B. Thorneycroft. (Cheers.) While,
therefore, he did not say, "Stand out till you can get the
15.," he did say, "Don't go in till you have got a court of
arbitration." (Cheers.)
A third PUDDLER felt pleasure in supporting the motion,
not because he wished to see the ironworkers of Wolver-
hampton out of employment, and their wives and children
wanting bread, but because he wanted to feel sure there
was a certainty of their obtaining that employment and
that bread in the future. That, however, would not be un-
less they availed themselves of the present opportunity of
securing a court of arbitration and a code of rules for guid-
ance in the future. (Hear, hear.) If such a court should be
obtained, one of the greatest blessings that had ever hap-
pened to the forgemen of Wolverhampton would ensue.
(Hear, hear.) And if they obtained it for Wolverhampton,
it might be made applicable to the whole of South Stafford-
shire. Because, therefore, of the greater good, he advocated
the lesser evil of remaining from work for a time. The
time had gone by when the men were afraid of speaking
even to the managers. There were now men in their body
who could meet and in an intelligible manner advocate the
cause of their follows with their masters. (Hear, hear.)
Their parents had submitted to sacrifices to give them an
education, and it would be a shame if they were not now
able to converse with their employers. If, however, aswas
stated, the men were insufficiently educated to reason with
their masters, the latter would have the advantage in the
discussions which would take place at the laying down of
the rules. But he had no fear on this point. (Hear.) The
day was gone by when a puddler would work for 7s. or 7s
Ed. a ton. (Hear, hear.) If they had a court of arbitration
he was sure that no sensible being would allow thorn to
work at less than 10s. a ton. (Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried by acclamation

It had been understood that Mr. Samuel Griffiths was ready
to address the meeting in explanation of the resolutions
which he proposed at the open-air meeting at Bilston, and
which the Wolverhampton puddlers had condemned. When
the meeting assembled they determined to invite Mr
Griffiths to speak after disposal of the business of the day.
A messenger was now sent to another part of the inn at
which the meeting was being held, and he returned with
Mr. GRIFFITHS, who was cheered on entering the room,
Ire denied that ho was moved in reposing the resolutions
by any other motive than that of benevolence towards the
great number of persons who were suffering by the lock-
out.

At the conclusion of his speech a motion was adopted
unanimously expressing the satisfaction of the meeting
with Mr.' Griffiths' explanation.
Mr. GRIFFITHS, in another speech, said he was glad that
they had determined to have a court of arbitration, but he
was sorry that they had resolved not to resume work until
the court was established, for a delay of several weeks
would be sure to ensue. He would respectfully suggest
that they should go to work while the arrangements for
establishing a court were being continued. (Cheers.)

The former speakers consented, and the mover of the re-
solution said, although the masters would not take their
word, yet they would take their masters' word. If their
masters would give them a pledge that a court of arbitra-
tion should be established, they would go to work at once
upon the faith of that promise.
Some considerable discussion then arose as to the means
to be used to obtain that promise.
The CKAIRMAN suggested that as Lord Lichfield had
stood their friend hitherto, he would doubtless be ready
to continue his aid in the service of peace. His lordship's
position also, as lord-lieutenant of the county, would give
his services great weight. Ho begged to suggest to the
meeting that they should confer with the lord-lieutenant

upon this point.
The speakers and Mr. Griffiths conferred together, and
➢lr. Gnirrrnis said that as time was urgent, and as Lord
Lichfield was not in the town, ho would suggest that a de-

putation should be appointed from that meeting to wait
upon the Mayor of Wolverhampton to solicit him to accom-
pany them to the different masters, if possible, that afternoon.
The deputation was appointed, and the proceedings were
adjourned until Monday and Tuesday next. If the promise
of the ironmasters which the men required had by that time
been obtained, then it was agreed that work should be re-

sumed ; but if the masters declined to give the promise,then
the original resolution would remain in force, and the men
romaizumtamill'a Court of arbitration had been established.
The proceedings terminatedwith;:viativtof thanks, L'lo9l4'
amid repeated cheering, to Mr. Griffiths and the press.

(Froze Rylandi Iron Trade Circular.)
The Iron Trade.—ln the market held on the day after the
" lock-out" was withdrawn—just as on that of the day,
previous—there was not any hurry in buying either pigs
or manufactured iron ; nor was there, indeed, any greater
excitement exhibited in demand at the termination than at
the commencement of what has been everywhere regarded
as the most important crisis that has happened in the iron
trade. The men may yet have to learn the hard lesson that
it is one thing for the masters to open their works and an-
other to keep them going. This is just the trying point of the
employer who too often has to keep his works going solely
from consideration for his workmen, hoping, sometimes
against hope, for a rally in prices. How the co-operative sys-
tem so much spoken of just now would carry on under similar
circumstances has yet to be tested. We heard many parties in
our market stating that they had just sufficient orders for a
week or so, and others complaining that they had none at all at
their works—not an order to begin with. It is plain that
thero was no need for haste in closing the strike or lock-
out as far as the order-books were concerned, so that this
may be taken as a proof of the goodwill of the masters to-
wards their workmen and their wish to relieve the men
from the painful and distressing condition of the last month.
The South Staffordshire masters have not for one instant
flinched from the course adopted in the original resolu-
tion. The north of England masters anticipated a suc-
cessful result from Lord Lichfield's mediation at Stoke,
and having, just at the same period of time, brought their,
men to a concession and driven the union of the district
to the humiliation of signing a document repudiating all
aid to the North Staffordshire strike, which they origi-
nally had fomented, came to an arrangement to reopen
their works on the presumption that a similar course would
have been carried out in North and South Staffordshire.
That it was not so, and that the movement of the northern
masters was mistaken by the men and misrepresented by
the unions as one in their favour, is well known. But in
the meantime the question had assumed a new phase; the
lock-out had sufficiently demonstrated how the power of
unions could be made more injurious to the men than the
masters, so as to render future strikes less probable, and
probably almost impossible, since even the executives would
pause before periling the total cutting off of their supplies
at one blow, and the men would be less inclined to face
general disaster, with the certainty of an universal poverty.
Thenceforth a continuance of the lock-out would have been
useless cruelty, and an obdurate obstinacy of pride on the
part of the South Staffordshire masters. There remained,
however, a difficulty in the solution, from which it was
only in the power of the North Staffordshire masters to re-
lease them. The common sense view of the question, sug-
gested in our last, was therefore adopted. The North Staf-
fordshire masters determined to deal with their own men
on the laissezfaire principle. They left them to do as they
liked, and to find employment elsewhere, while, for their
own part, they released the South Staffordshire masters
from the mutual obligation. Upon this the South Stafford-
shire masters, having in the interim received a voluntary
declaration from the executives of the Brierly-hill Union,
that the North Staffordshire men would not be supported,
either directly or indirectly, passed, at Wolverhampton on
Wednesday, the resolution embodied in the following notice,
which was printed and posted at the different works :
"At a meeting of the iron trade of South Staffordshire,
held at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, the sth of April,
186 i, it was resolved :

That the ironmasters of North Staffordshire have, by
their trade resolutions of April 3, 1865, released this district
from the undertaking entered into with the men on the 16th
of February, 1865, and believing the assurance given by the
men of South Staffordshire that they disapprove the con-
duct of the North Staffordshire men, and that they will not
assist them, directly or indirectly, during the continuance
of the present strike, it is hereby resolved that the works
in the South of Stafford be reopened this sth day of April,
1865.

" Wolverhampton, April 5.'
"Pursuant to the above resolution, these works are now
declared open. 4 t
Thus has onded the "groat lock-out f" Such a result has,
of course, been met with the outcry that if this—the state
quo ante, the mere return to "as you were"—be all that has
been achieved, what was the use of the hard knocks and
bruises mutually given and received? That it has been sow-
ing the wind to reap the whirlwind; and that a mutual dis-
affection between masters and man can be the only conse-
quence. The article from the Times funishes a sufficient
reply to such objections. The whole movement has been
what in:military language has been termed a reconnaissan,ce,
by which a demonstration is made in force by the ono
party, to test the moans of resistance of the other, and dis-
cover their points of defence and attack. In this instance it
has been found that the unions by themselves are powerless,
and that any aid to them from the outside will not be suffi-
cient, and need not be taken into consideration. At the same
time it became apparent that the remedy is worse than the
disease, and that if anything could be more distressing than
