extensive combination among the unionists of the different
trades, whereby they supplied each other 'with the means of
supporting.themselves in idleness, is falling to pieces ;—a result
to be desired, not more for the sake of the master tradesmen
and the community at large, than for tharof those poor deluded
people theruselves.—Halifax, Guardian.
