GREAT STRIKE AT ToNsETT.
LONDON, May 4-The iron workers at
foasett have struck against five per cent.
reduction proposed by the mill owners,
and one hundred and sixty pudding fur
uaces are now idle. This state OF things is
much regretted, both by the manufactu-
rers and friends of the workmen, inasmuch
q hundreds of families will either suffer.
in case the strike continues and the feeling
becomes bitter between the owners and the
men, or bepthrown upon the trades union
I treasury or public charity for support.
Tie plea of the proprietors is that on ac-
count Of the late and decided fall in the price
ofiron in the United States, there is large
falling off of the export demand, and in
consequence fall in the prices. The men
simply say that they can not live on less
wages than they have been receiving. Thus
far there have been no disturbances con-
nected with the strike.
