LONDON, June 2.-The London cham
Der of commerce is maturing scheme
which it is expected will reduce the T l.
Der of strikes in great measure i
ultimately abolish that method of set
employees. The plan contemplates the
formation of q Cancellation commit
tee, - half of which is to be composed of
employees engaged in various trades and
half of master employers representing the
leading industries. The committee it is
proposed TO divide into twelve groups for
the equipoise of convenience, and any
dispute incapable of settlement by one
of these subdivisions is to be referred TO
the full committee. The plan meets
with the favor of the trades unions and
the masters, and it is not likely any diff
ficulty will be experienced in obtaining
unqualified consent to ABIDE by the final
decisions of the committee. The recent
strikes among the tailors of London,
and the probability that there may
be another at an early date have in
duced the master tailors Of Glasgow to
import number Of workmen under con-
tract from Germany. Eight of the larg-
est tailoring establishment in Glasgow
have formed syndicate with the object
of overcoming any strike that may occur
among their workmen.
One hundred men have already been
engaged at Hamburg under
contract binding them to work one
year steadily at a stipend of 10 shillings,
(S7 .5O). The syndicate pays their ex-
penses to Glasgow and guarantees that
weeks work shall be only fifty-four
hours. 1t is expected that many more
will Unsupported and it is quite likely
movement will extend to London.
HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION.
Arrangements are proceeding satisfac-
torily for the demonstration to be held
in Hyde dark on June 9TH lagainst com
pensation for publicans, or the publican
endowment and pension bill as it is

members of parliament will speak, and
numerous public bodies have signifed
their intention to be present. A vigorous
propaganda is being pressed by those who
have the meeting in charge, and a dis
triburion is being made of $50 900 copies
of Sir Thomas Farrar's letter condemn
ing compensation, and 100 200 copies of
Sir William Harcoutr's speech at Ber-
mondsly.
The inquiry now in progress by the
board of trade into the loss of the ma
tional line steamer Erin, is being pur-
sued in the direction Of ascertainlng
whether the vessel was not overloaded.
Suspicion that this was the case has long
been entertained in official quarters.
INCREASE OF WAGES.
The Guinness brewing company has |
voluntarily ADDED shilling week to |
the wages of each of its own employees,
supplementing the announcement with |
the statement that the prosperity of the |
company's business justifies its shar- |
ing the increase of profits with |
the men who have contributed |
TO it by their industry and fidelity. |
This increase of wages made quite unex- |
pectedly and without solicitation, will |
add the sum of $1,000 q year to the COM
pany's pay roll and incidentally increase
Its popularity as well as that OF its pro-
ducts with the working class.
