TILE MASTER BUILDEIS AND TILE WAGES MOVE-
MENT.—A numerously attended meeting of the
members of the Master Builders Association was held at the
Freemasons' Tavern yesterchy afternoon, to take into con-
sideration the resolution cf the delegates of the men,
passed on the previous evening, respecting the advance of
wages to Bd. per hour. After an hour and a half's discus-
sion the following resolution, was adopted :—" That an ad-
vance of one halfpenny per hour be given to the most
skilled mechanics, the less s':illed to be at liberty to accept
a less rate. The hours of labour to he nine per day, from
the 9th November to the 24th February, and ten for the
remainder of the year. Tho labourers to be advanced one
farthing per hour on the sate conditions. The advance to
commence on the sth May next." This resolution is almost
in the same terms as that adopted by the delegates, with
the exception of the distin%ion drawn between the "most
skilled" and "less skilled" mechanics ; and it is possible
that some hitch may arise von this point to prevent so
speedy a settlement of the question as is desirable. This
point arranged satisfactorily, the question will be settled.
The delegates meet again text week, to decide as to the
acceptance of the above roc:Julien, and the only difficulty
likely to arise is the vagueless of the second sentence in
the resolution.
