TRADES' UNIONS.

(From the Derby Reporter.) •
Aq we anticipated last week, the form ition of a
l'rades' Union in this town has ied to the total sus-
nsion of bu-iness in several of the nianufactoii-s.
A meeting of the masters and neinufacturers was
•ield at the King's Head lon, on Monday, when a
series of resolut.ons were trussed. In these resolu-
ions the right of the workmen to give or withhold
heir labour is recognised, while the masters and
nanufaciuren, at the same time, assert an equal
ight to give or withhold employment. These ere .
inpregrisble positions, from which m•it her party,
e believe, wit ever be beaten aojn The time
past for enacting combination Isa , with a view
0 prevent the ar nom from disposing of his lahonr
—his only commodity—n the best mrtket, and on
e ye y best terms tnat he can command; and
tie ready recognition of this right is it pr of
hat the prime pies of trade are now bet er
nderstood than they were some years ago,
vhen it was thought right to pr• vent, by
renal enaci.nnerits. any combined attempt to
mtilitain, or raise, the price of labour. I, is
iiiparent that the capital and skill regiiiied In. pr
titable manufacture are entitled to the same lair
tield of competition, without b.-inn exposed to arty
ther restriction to the union of capital root :sees.
-halt that which fiirly arises from the ,ca city or
superabundance of labour in the market. I. he t
,mere-ts theiefoie of lab•our,—which is the origin
of weal.h,—and of capital,—wli ch is the accumela-
ion of labour, aie fatly pitied ugainst each other;
but the conflict cannot last I.org ; their intimate
.inion is essential to the welfare ef both, arid we
eannot but deplore that the r seoalate interests cree-
not be fairly a.ljes elf, without incurring the s• ri-
ms loses chat will be sustained by botti
parties. It appears from their resolutions that
•he masters and manufacturers wrre apprehen-
sive, from what has occurred at Manchester,
Leeds, London, and other places, that after the
Union had accumulated funds, attempts would be
made to coerce ere! control Mein, as to the mode in
which they shoold carry on their e incerns; and
they have therefore determined at once tin resist,
what they consider, an encroachment on the :r just
right., by refusing to employ any members of a body
formed for such an object. Mr. Hume's advire ra
excellent ; he would have every artisan learn two
i rades, and transfer his labour from one to the other
whenever the pay of one trade exceeded that of the
other. Tnere to nn 4.ther ..ny of preventing the
reduction of wages in a depressed state of a pant-,
cular trade, and unless the workmen have some
means of preventing the competition that takes
place amongst themselves for employment, it is im-
possible to prevent the natural and inevitable result
of a falling market, a reduction of wages. Tee real
question between the masters and manufacturers of
Derby and the Trades' Union is this—will the pre-
sent state of trade, and the competition with thee
cheap-living foreign ut tisans admit of higher wages,
or less work for the present ra es, than is now re-.
ceived ? If they will, we sincerely hope the work-

to their interest, and prejudice their cause with the
rest of the community.
The number of tn.-embers of the Trades' Union in
this town has increased 200 since our last publica-
tion. There toe now upwards of 1,000 of the ope-
ratives associated, nearly the whole of whom have
beets dismissed, or have left their work, in conse-
quence of a resolution of the masters and matrufac-
turers not to employ any member of the Union.
