TILE TAILORS' STRIKE.—The London Operative
Tailors' Protective Association has addressed a circular
"To Our Employers," which is as follows :—" Of the
numerous resolutions submitted to a conference of master
tailors last year, the one most freely discussed, and which
found greatest favour as being of vital importance to the
general interest of the trade, was that which deemed a
universal time log for the United Kingdom of the greatest
necessity. As this necessity has long been recognised by
the operatives of the kingdom, their executives—willing to
act iu concert with the masters, who had formed an asso-
ciation—volunteered to take part in the accomplishment of
this groat work. A message to that effect having been sent
to the c,lamittee of the Masters' Association, by a joint
committee of the London Protective Association and the
Amalgamation of England, a reply was received favour-
able to the proposition, and agreements were accordingly
entered into by the joint committee of employers and em-
ployed, by which they were bound to freely discuss a
time log; and in the event of any difficulty arising, the
two chairmen were to retire, and exercise a power vested
in them of calling a third person as arbitrator in the mat-
ten of dispute. Such a difficulty occurred, and after two or
three adjournments, the masters' sub-committee declined
to discuss a log in detail, they never having
!natters to arbitration as the agreements set
they would
d
they submitted that the only course to which:tle3r of the
consent was, that though they were the committee
had

DEATII IN THE STREET.--An inquest was held
;,t, Guy's Hospital on Wednesday night respeatiug the
death of a mau named Coverley, who was about fifty years
of age. It appeared that a few evcningx since the deceased
was interfering in some disturbance in the greet, when two
policemen suddenly flashed their bullseyes in his face.
This frightened him so much that he fainted, his mouth
- tilled with blood, and he died before he reached the hos-
pital. The medical evidence showed that the fright had
caused the rupture of an aneurism of the aorta, and the
jury returned a verdict accordingly.
