STRIKES AND LOCK-OUTS.
err,eof
The council of the Society for the encourageol,
Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, having had rn
cent disputes between employers and' employed '-tios'
manufacturing districts under their serious considera coot
are of opinion that this society may be made, isi°,4
degree, instrumental in promoting a clear knowleubs ist
the facts and principles involved in the V06°131,00
issue, and may offer a neutral ground upon which hot
parties may fairly and temperately discuss the
modes of either preventing the outbreak of such oty
trous quarrels, or terminating them as speedily sl3ae
tisfactorily as possible to all parties, when they Ar";to
The council, therefore, propose, in the first P,13cf,40
hold a conference, to which they will invite the te,;terf
Associations of masters and operatives at Mansu:iife9
and the Local Associations of masters and oPer'',lB9,
at Preston, to send each a representative. Thett
propose to invite to the conference an equal nttslu",
those who took the most prominent part on either It
of the late dispute among the mechanical engineers' Or,
will further be the care of the council to bring t 0 1l
conference, without bias on one side or other, as• tll9,
as possible of those who, without being involved ir`toes
labour question as partisans, have studied and 01°,06
its various bearings. The council propose to re,cre
the order of the proceedings so that they may es'
practical tendency, and a business character, 313tioll'
degenerate into vague, noisy, or useless declani."el
For this purpose, each speaker will be strictly limit psi
a few minutes on each topic ; and, that digression
be readily checked, the whole subject will be defin?d cf:/
divided into distinct propositions, such as the followiril; of
1. Combinations.—Are they objectionable, whetheollc'
•n foot by employers or employed, as a means of inab
ing the value of labour ? Would a law of limited lideces:i
in partnerships tend to render such combinations le ;4:1 4or
nary ? Do they remove the questions with which o'lo'
from the privacy of ordinary trade management, as7tbt,
't
tham under public cognizance, and, if so, how 10'190,1;
publicity be most simply and effectually secured
any legislative provision, or other arranement, tengil:i to
by which the right of association, if obviously exePlied
the detriment of the community, might beycontrs'e
neutralised ?
2. Strikes and Lock-outs.—Should partial strI;;O!!
Dot
by to take the masters of a locality in detail, s - by lock-outs ? What other means are likely to be °P
in terminating them? bst*loo;
3. Wages.—Does payment by piece-work alter ss
tially the nature of the relations which would exist b:if 10;
employer and employed were the latter day or virecoti,',ol
bourers ? Can list of prices for piece-work be equiiiffer
drawn up so as to meet the varied circumstances offtiitiegt
ent machinery, different management, different 10°,0'1;
and the constant progress of improvement ! Ought
facturers Ito bind together their associations withlAaglr,
limits of a minimum scale of prices for. piece-work ?
the operative to share beyond the market value tee
labour in the increased productiveness of improved
chinery
The Council propose that no resolutions sh°ela
adopted except where entire unanimity prevails. 4der
they venture, for convenience sake, to prescribe thef'or
of the proceedings, they intend to observe a strict <O9
trality. They have fixed upon Monday, the 30t4elif
of January, for holding the Conference, which is Au whit
convened at the Society's House, John-street, Aue
punctually at 11 a.m. ,
