The English Liberals Make Point with the
Workingmen.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The liberals scored an
other point with the workingmen yesterday in

ers not TO employ other persons is illegal, and
renders all personsengaged in il liable to prose-
cution as criminal conspirators and subject to
tine or imprisonment. The complaint was
brought by a coal merchant who employed,

called out on that account The union secre-
taries were prosecuted and the recorder fined
them each 40. The recorders decision is far

count of non-union hands being employed
guilty of crime. The workingmen are deter
mined that the law shall be amended. and Mr..
Robertson, who represents a workingmen s con-
stituency, has made the first move in that direc-
tion and got Lord Salisburys government
again committed as opposed to the working
class.
