There are few things more to be regretted in their
way than strikes. No matter how or where they
occur, they contain elements of a deplorable charac-
ter, and give rise to so many sufferings and losses
that they rank among our great social grievances.
Whether the harm be Considered that is done to the
community through the waste of time in carrying
on the trade and business of the country, or whether
we look at the wretched homes or blighted hearths
of the innocent victims of the obstinacy of one side
or the tyranny of the other who pay the penalty and
reap the fruits of the sowing of strife alike, we must
consider that some stop should be put to the con-
stant recurrence of this calamity, and the spread of
the angry and discontented feelings which give rise
to it. Both sides are often unquestionably to blame ;
the employers exact too much, the employed will
yield too little, and hence all suffer loss, annoyance,
and public reproach. The lookers on from afar
cannot or will not, perhaps, comprehend all the
technical details of the said grievances, and the ins
and outs of the so-called difficulties, but unwarped
by prejudice and uninfluenced by self-interest, their
judgment may be clearer and their opinion of more
value than those more initiated in detailt and more
cognisant of circumstances. They see that the
acquisition of wealth and the jealousy of property
often make the masters unmindful of their
duties; they appreciate their claims, without
acknowledging their responsibilities, and in
their over haste to get rich, they are apt to
look upon their men too much as machines
who are necessary for the carrying on of the needful
tasks, rather than as human beings who share the
like feelings- as themselves, and have not had the
same advantages to enlarge their views, or the same
inducements to restrain their indignation and modify
their temper. The men are also often found to be
prejudiced against their employers, as a class,
without much right and reason ; and wherever or
whenever did a large body of the working classes
stop to analyse their sentiments or take note of the
cause of this or that effect ? Sufficient unto them
is the idea that they are wronged ; and let that
notion once obtain among them, then it will spread
like wildfire until no consideration of prudence and
propriety will stay its course or check its ravages.
Philosophers and philanthropists have wearied
themselves in preaching moderation to one side and
fair play to the other, and a mutual endeavour to
adjust difficulties to both. It has seemed hitherto
unavailing for any foreign influence or third party
to do any good or effect any material benefit in the
complex character of the affair ; therefore, it is the
more satisfactory to notice that, in one particular,
the differences that have existed are likely to be put
an end to. At a meeting of the masters and opera-
tives at Coventry some conciliatory measures were
undertaken, and we may gladly hail the welcome
intelligence that a period is likely to be put to the
vexatious differences and ruinous altercations
that have prevailed for some time past.
The masters appear to have acted with
unusual wisdom, and to have made more
efforts in framing overtures for peace than are un-
h*` Anly often witnessed in similar cases. There is no
pubt that they will reap the fruits of their praise-
worthy ,-Lideavour, but meanwhile the thanks 'of
hthe coniniunit3r are their due, ftnil the ree,scrn4;o-A
fof all qualified to judge will be their meed of ap-
,,proval and their token of goodwill. There is

more difficult than to be the first in settling
Tif Eyts •rs of this sort ; however false or faulty a kind
sippJ.c
8 Ada ,41 pr'de prevails, to the exclusion often of the higher
motives, and the extinction of the really genuine
sentiments of some of the parties at Coventry. It
is fortunate for the interests of many that these
deleterious influences did not triumph, but that a
happier and kindlier feeling prevailed, which has re-
sulted in a meeting of delegates from both sides to
consider the state of things, and determine upon the
course most feasible to pursue in the dilemma in
which all are placed. Mr. MAULT, the Secretary
to the Manufacturers' Association, very truly ob-
served that that clay inaugurated a new system, and
might appropriately be regarded as " one of the
most important meetings in the building-trade," as
hitherto there had been.no settled principles, and
matters of dispute were constantly arising. There
are good grounds for supposing that, if the wise and
comprehensive resolutions agreed upon are adhered
to, a better day may dawn upon the trade and
all concerned in it ; vexatious doubts and over-
whelming differences may be superseded by
mutual understanding and comparative con-
fidence in each other, and in the principles that
ought to guide and govern them. Much skill
and caution have been used in the drawing up of
the plans proposed as the means of extrication from
the complex situation now so greatly to be deplored
and deprecated. Delegates from both sides are to
frame the new rules, subject to the supervision of
an arbitrator from each side, and these arbitrators

again are to appoint an umpire. The casting vote
of this latter is to be considered as final, and both
masters and men have promised to abide by and be
satisfied with such decisions as the collective wisdom
and judgment of those engaged in the settlement
shall deem requisite. If matters are thus arranged and
adhered to, it may surely be trusted that a better
fate and brighter future is in store for the distracted
and - bewildered operatives and their dissatisfied
employers. The masters have done quite right in
giving up the " discharge-note ;" and whatever
errors they have previously committed, they have
done their best to remedy by the frank spirit in
which they have made their advances and proposed
the remedy.. The flag of truce now waved be-
tween the contending parties is a welcome sight,
and will be hailed with satisfaction by all who have
the foresight to see the evils attendant on such alter-
cations ; and if the promise now held out is at all
realised, the prospect for the future must certainly
be better, more honourable to all engaged in the un-
dertaking, and the connection that unites masters
and men may be looked back upon without shame
on one side and remorse on the other, if they humbly
and heartily strive to do their best, sensible that
their countrymen look to them for preserving the
unanimity so necessary to the welfare of the com-
munity, and knowing that, for all their opportuni-
ties, the strength to work, and the power to employ
workers, they will one day be called upon to render
an account.

It has often been said that there is no evil with-
out some corresponding good, and this has been
forcibly exemplified in the recent and still continu-
ing cotton distress. Though originally springing
from the desolating war in America, and creating
much prolonged suffering in our manufacturing
districts, it has yet been the means of
conferring great, and, we may hope, lasting
benefits on other countries. Its effects in Turkey
and Egypt have been most remarkable, not only
from the success Which has attended the cotton cut.
