STRIKE OF COACHMAKERS.—TO THE PUBLIC.
lIIHE.MASTER COACH MAKERS of this District, hav-
Ji learnt that most erroneous reports concerning the
late Strike amongst the Journeymen Coachinakers have been
put forth, and which are calculated not only to mislead the
Public, but to deceive well disposed Workineu;and even those
intimately connected with the Journeymen themselves, the
Masters, anxious to remove any wrong inapression, state thus
publicly, that it has always been their maxim to raise the Work-
man of ability and the industrious, abbe the idle and dissolute,
and will cheerfully give Wages accoilling to that ability; but
it cannot for a moment be supposed, that a Workman that can
only earn half the Wages of another must have the same. But,
even if such a concession (unreasonable as it is) were made, it
is well-known, from past experience, that other demands would
follow, prejudicial to the Public, and; of course, ruinous both
to Masters and. Journeymen. We trust the Public will not be
mislead by the representations of interested parties, or the
erroneous reports circulated by those who approve of and en-
courage the Strike amongst the Journeymen. 'At the same
time we beg, to offer our best thanks for the consideratioa and
indulgence extended to us by our several Friends, in allowing
their Orders to lie over until, by the acquisition of fresh hands,
we can resume our usual course of business. We have already
succeeded in engaging some from London, and are in treaty
with many more ; so that, we trust, a long' period will not
elapse before we shall he enabled' to execute the Orders of our
Friends in the most satisfactory manner. To conciliate, and
not to depress, being their object, the undersigned Master
Coachmakers, at a meeting lately held, adopted the following
Resolutions :

"Resolved unanimously,—That the Journeymen Coach-
makers of this district have recently ,demanded and obtained
increased Wages of 10 to 50 per cent., and every instance of
concession has only encouraged still more exorbitant demands,
accopanied with a spirit of dictation as to who should be em-
ployed and who should be dismissed, and also as to the Wages
to be paid to each individual Workman, without reference to
his ability, steadiness, or activity; • that it is utterly impossible
for the Masters to carry on their Business with advantage to
themselves or the interest of the Public.
"Resolved,—That the undersigned Masters severally and
jointly agree to employ no man connected with any Trade's
Union not sanctioned by the Combination Act, or which is
governed by a Secret Committee.
" Resolved,—That this Meeting does not wish to depress the
Wages of the Workmen, but will clieerfullY pay each man ac-
cording to his merit, nor do we wish to interfere with their
Club, as connected with every useful purpose to the men them-
selves.
"Resolved.—That, in pursuance of the foregoing Resolution,
