A special from London Of the 24th says;
The strike Of the London building trade Is the
result OF twenty years OF agitation, begun In
1885. Ia 1853 demand was made by the men
for a reduction Of tho hours Of labor from
ten hours day. In 1850 memorial nnmer-
ously signed was presented 10 the masters.
A short struggle cnsued, and the masters OBJ
tanned the victory. George Potter then ap'
poared on the scene TO lead the men. He
commenced agitatug and was successful In
the country towns, and formed a trades
union. Last year the engineers all over the
country rose at New Castle. Sir William
Armstrong; firm was the special object OF
attack. The masters fought stubbornly, but
the men conquered, and the ninc-hour move
ment was conceded 10 the men everywhere.
The carpenters and jOlncrs determined TO
follow their example, sent an ultlmatum to
the London masters and applied the screw
by Withdrawing from two large firms. The
masters threatened a general lock out II
the men did not return TO their work. The
men returned. The masters proposed nrbl-
tratiOn and nominated Lord Derby aud the
Marquis OF Salisbury. The men refused and
there was q general flock OUT last week hy
which twenty thousand men were thrown
out Of employment. Mr.. Plunkett, member
of the firm OF Cubltt, In an Interview, said he
had seen three strikes. lie employs three
thousand carpenters, masons and bricklayers.
lie would not deny that the strikes tended to
raise inc wages, Dut the result tnfCW many
men out al amplOyment. Though the cost
of building labor had advanced 10 per cent.
In tho last twenty years the demand of the
men was for ffty-onc hours work instead of
itty-slX and half. aud the wages shilling
more. The masters viewed the subject slim
ply as question of supply. They believed
the demand was not warranted by the condl'
ton OF trade, aud reckoncd on proving this 10
the arbltrators " any should bo appointed.
| Tho masters disliked "lock-Outs" as much az
| they did strikes, but they were generally COM
PEELED " adopt them. They did not object 10
| The mems unions. Three masons at small
public house declined TO give their names,
| for fear Of the consequences. They said
that In 1858 the wages were Ave shillings per
| day, In 1880 six pence more, In 1851 seven
pence an hour, aud 1865 eight pence an hour
| The reasons given for the strike are the deal
rates Of living IN London and the long dis
tauce to out-of.doOr jobs, TO which they were
| Obliged To walk In their own time, There Il
no fear Of men being brought from the coun'
try. Us they are better of there. Two-thlrds
of the masOns' society are saugulne Of cue
cess. Financially they arc strong, belni
helped by other trades. Nine hours a day
aud nine pence per hour has been determined
upon, aud there will be no surrender.

result of the trade disputes 70 DO an lncredl
