THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADES AT MAN-
cussTka.—The men are coining in by degrees, and as many as from
700 to 800 have signed the declaration required by the masters, and
commenced working again during the past week or ten days. A
large number more commenced working yesterday morning, who
also signed the declaration. The impression is, that the turn-outs
will keep going In, and that ere long the shops will be as full of men
as may be required under existing cirecmstances. The masters have
been compelled to form themselves into an association, whigh it is
Intended should extend all over the country, for the purpose of
counteracting the dangerous effects of the eombination of these
general trades unions ; for, unless they be counteracted, the masters
think that they will be placed in the humiliating position of having
to accede to any, and indeed every, demand which the turn-outs may
think proper to make upon them. On the 2d of the present month
there were 600 Joiners en the strike, upwards of 100 plasterers and
painters, about 40 plumbers, and about 80 or 100 bricklayers ; and
itis calculated that there are at the present moment upwards of 200
workmen who are yet out of employ.
We have reason to believe that there is not the slightest
=the rumour that the Hon. Member fOr Oxford, Mr. Maclean,
to reign his rot is Dirliitratut.
