THE NORTHERN PITMEN•

(From the Newcastle Advertiser.) deli'
We understand that the coalowners, after due
beration, have come to the conclusion that they fir
not employ the mon uneler the unreasonable re:Vbi
Lions and restrictions contained in the bond drailltve
Mr. Roberts, and approved by the delegates 'As
mentioned the commencement of fine weather, ';o.
stock of coal on hand, the supply that could be Ro.
cured from coal-producing districts, and the IA
poverished resources of the men themselves, and firoil
these combined circumstances came to the c0nc13151,10
that the strike would not be of long duration Lap
we are sorry to learn that, in some instances, the Pneti
have resorted to illegal proceedings, and atteo3Per
by force and intimidation to prevent others fronl.e%,,,cp
cising the honest rights of industry. The Plt'-‘l4
are not in a position to coerce the coalowners,
the consequences must be ruinous to thernse'oon
as they must- be ejected from their houses as sdi,.
as a sufficient protective force gets into the ow
trict. In several instances the windows of erie
unionists have been broken, and personal fence
has been resorted to. At Castle Eden Colliery, lito
owners attempted to send away the coals theY
lying at the bank previous to the strike, and as thengo
gular men refused to fill them into the waggons, strauel
men were engaged for the purpose. They were attaeote
by a large assemblage of men, and women, who ipo'
them from their occupation, even though the rurli,beia
licemen of the district were employed to guard 'vets
from molestation. In two or three' instances geol.
wounds were inflicted. At Garmondsway M°°r lef
liery, Brancepeth Park Colliory, Kelloe and Tb°11,31,0
Colliery, similar outrages have been committed.
Durham Chronicle says:— staff
" We believe we may, with, perfect confidence, :00
that three-fourths of the pitmen would prefer to tbsg
to terms at once with the colliery owners, rather
to
incur the fearful consequences of a strike at ail, tpliir 0
less one of so extensive and destructive a charge-tisl
that which the arbitrary rule of their delegates, 004
under the guidance and conforming to the PerrP,.tbe
of their great legal director, has caused them, 30' pot
present, to adopt. Intimations of this fact have a'
been wanting ; but as the owners have no power rienci
rantee the safety of the workmen from personal "°,p
of
from the class to which we have alluded, thougelioeit
well-disposed, industrious, and peaceable men, Vat" rg ,
wives and families, must be exposed to all the borrSlbo
poverty, unless the Government step in to aff,°r,
'protection which it is alone competent to exteno.' „erlf
Every exertion is being made to protect the portrod
and persons of the well-disposed. On Mondayr,e 1," taie
of the Bth Hussars, under the command' of ';3,'
Desales, and a company of the 37th lleg"311
marched from this town to the city Of. n„r
as a more central point, should their services
~c,t;
quired. On the same morning a. company °` anil
diers left Sunderland barracks for Durhairi
another company were under orders -to start at rjeri
o'clock for South Hetton Colliery, but counter ° tbef
reached the barracks on Sunday night, t,h,,g't„ prc;
were not to proceed until further orders. .1"." 03,,"
ventive service men from Sunderland, Seah,l3Zrolei
Castle Eden, went by railway, on Monday to 'P'""cog'
Colliery, where they will be stationed for the prestoiel
Lion of the peace. Upwards of seventy special cow.nsilb 01'
were sworn at South Hetton on Saturday. T:ijesc;
these arrangeMents there ,is little danger of vt
hpr
Since Saturday a considerable quantity of 0000,
been brought down the railway to Sunderland,
thought the supplies of the collieries that ship 6'00;
port will soon be run out. It is said Lord Lond°l, 13
has upwards of sixteen thousand chaldrons at ban."'
these will of course be shipped at Seaham.
