SHIPWRIGHTS COMBIXATIONL-4t has been under.
stood by the shipwrights of this yard, that their services
will not now be required in the Thames, the unfortu-
nate misunderstanding which has so long elided there
between • the masters and the men having been at
length amicably adjusted. About 60 of the artisans
of this yard, have signed a paper, offering their tempo-
rary aid to the London shipbuilders, shoold the men
in their employ not abide by their late agieement. It
is also rumoured, that those who have voluinteered
from this yard, will be recommended to the Board
to be placed at the head of those who are to hate ap-
prentices.—Plumotuli Joe end.
The combination of colliers who have ceased work-
ing at the Clyde Iron Works, presents most strongly
the mischievous lengths to which this new Union sys-
tem among woe kmen may be carried. In the case be-
fore us, Mr. DowLoes met., amounting to about SOO,
finding no cause to be dissatisfied, were averse to
striking ; but the combined :oilier:, consisting of about
2,000, decided, at their public meeting, that these
men in the employ of Mr. DUNLOP (the proprietor of
these extensive works), should not continue to work
for him upon tt e old terms, but should join the gene-
ral combination, and receive their subsistence out of
the common. fund raised for the support of its men:-
ben. Mr. DUNLOP'S' men had .no alternative but to
comply with the will of the Directory. All appeal
against it they knew must he fruitless, and they felt
that it would be most unsafe to provoke the resent-
meat of thi; body, by withstanding their authority.
