STRIKE OF CARPENTERS AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF
SURGEONS.—The strike of carpenters and joiners in the
metropolis begins to wear a very serious aspect. Already
between 400 and 500 workmen have decided in not re-
turning to their labour unless they obtain an advance of
wages of sixpence a day-3s. per week. The strike at
present is confined to workmen who have been employed
by builders and contractors in extensive business, the
small masters having, when applied to for an increase of
wages, acceded to the request of the journeymen.
Amongst others who are now out on strike is the body
of workmen lately in the employ of Messrs. Brass and
Son, of Wood-street, City, and Redcross-street, Cripple-
gate, and the whole of the men in the employ of Messrs.
Lucas, who were engaged on the works at the College
of Surgeons. Committees have been formed, and cir-
culars addressed to the trade, requesting- support in
what they term a just cause.
STRIKE OF FACTORY OPERATIVES AT STOCKPORT.—
The advance of 10 per cent., demanded by the operatives,
has been declined by the cotton manufacturers of Stock-
port. After taking the averages of 10 miles round
Manchester, the employers have replied to the following
effect :—" We find that spinners by hand mule and self-
actors are receiving 5 per cent. below the average, and we
will give them an advance to that extent ; we find, also,
that the throstle spinners are receiving 8 per cent. less
than the average, and we will give them an advance of
8 per cent. ; but we find that weavers are receiving
rather more than the average of the district, and we de-
cline to make any alteration in their wages." The ope-
ratives, at all the mills except three, had given notice,
and their week expiring on Thursday evening, yesterday
morning found the mills all standing, and nearly 20,000
persons of all ages and both sexes on strike. The three
mills not stopped are those of Marslands, Robinson, and
Cephas Howard. The notices at these mills, however,
expire next week, and the whole of the operatives will
be out of employ. The spinners, it is believed, would
be satisfied with the terms offered, but have turned out
in aid of ebe weavers. The employers talk of keeping
their mills. closed for a month under any circumstances.
WAGES MOVEMENT AMONG THE WEAVERS.—During
the last few days the weavers of Spitalfields, Bethnal-
green, Waterloo Town, and other places at the eastern
part of tb e metropolis, have been holding meetings
nightly at their various club houses, for the purpose of
obtaining an advance of wages for their labour. The
condition .of the poor for many years has been known to
be very :serious, for the remuneration for their labour
has been too low and insufficient to support them, that
a great plumber with their families have been compelled
to seek r 'chief at the workhouse, and several aged men
have di. d from destitution. Deputations from the
Trade TYnion have already waited upon the large em-
ployers, and in most instances the applications have been
attendee 1, with success.
