The Shipo,Oners' Meetins-Report of the Conn
0sittee.
BOSTON, June 8.
The committee appointed ten days ago at
meeting of shipowners and builders, in rela-
ton to the strike of the caulkers and others,
made their report to-day at an adjourned meet
ing. The committee have met with entire
success in obtaining signatures to the resolu-
tions adopted at the previous meeting, and say
the opinion is universal that there should be
no wavering or receding from the position TAX
en- by the shipowners; that the members of
the several combinations, more especially in
Boston, have assumed false position, which,
if persisted in must eventually work to. those
composing them far more injury, inconven-
fence and suffering than it can to the ship
owners. The committee are satisfied that
many of the workmen who belong to this COM
bination, and many who do not, would gladly
and willingly return to work were it not for
the influence OF others, and no coubt many
from fear of personal injury, who need only to
be assured of protection. Such state of things
in this community, of all others, should not be
suffered to exist. The demands of the work.
men of Boston, both for pay and time, have
always been most cheerfHlly met, and we do
not understand any complaint from them is
now made on this score; hut by refusing to
work they hope to assist the workmen of New
York in obtaining the same wages and time
they have had here, and it is on this point they
refuse working on the ship Archer.
The committee therefore recommend that
advertisements be freely inserted in the seve-
raj daily papers at ore, inviting mechanics of
the several trades needed, to come to this city,
assuring them that they shall find ready en-
ployment at 81 per day. with nine hours work,
and be guaranteed six months work; assuring
them also that they shall have protection from
interference. They also recommend that a
sufficient fund be raised Or guaranteed, the
same, to be used to carry out this arrangement
or any other purpose connected with the same.
The report was accepted and a committee ap-
pointed to carry out its suggestions. sr
