GLASGOW, Oct %, 1878.
Various shipbuilding firms received this
morning an intimation from the iron work.
ers' secretary that the Boiler Makers and
Iron Shipbuilding Association intended
withdrawing its men whenever the proposed
reduction Of seven and one-half per cent
was enforced. Accordingly the workmen
of Eve establishments struck. John
Elder & Co., Clyde shipbuilders. en-
ploying 1000 men, decided to reduce
their force by 1900 men. The decision
was made known to the men at luncheon
to-day, after the launch Of Her Majesty's
steam corvette Conquest. One of the firm
said:-"There are only three ships build
ing, as you may see. Five years ago we
had twenty-five under contract. / regret
to say that the prospects of more orders
soon are not good. Indeed the outlook is
most gloomy"
6UFFEBIN0 At THE AINESs
Notices are posted in the Kilsyth district
collieries announcing further reduction in
fortnight of sixpence per day in the
wages. This is very severe on the men, who
are now receiving only three shillings and
sixpence to four shillings per day during
five days in each week. Many mine
families are already in q state of absolute
destitution.
THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROTTEN BANK.
The Crown authorities have decided to
bring charge of embezzlement against the
directors of the City of Glasgow Bank in
addition to the indictment for falsehood,
fraud and wilful imposition. Under the
present charge bail is admissible, but
under the indictment proposed it will be
inadmissible. The charge Of embezzle-
ment is based on the fact that the bank
previous to it's suspension was in the habit
of pawning in London bills committed to
it's care in the ordinary course Of business
JOHN INNEs wRIaHr's LIABILITIES.
The liabilities of John Innes Wright d
Co., whose bankruptcy was announced on
the 26th inst, are over $4,000, 900. Their
assets are comparatively meagre. 1t is the
Glasgow house only that fails, both Wright
and Scott having retired from the London
and Rangoon concerns after the failure Of
the City of Glasgow Bank. The downfall
Of q syndicate in the grain trade is ex-
pected. Several small firms have already
succumbed, and it is believed that the
failure of various large houses must follow.
