LORD GAON ON LABOURERS UNIONS. This venerable nthlemen, now in his eighty-fourth year, has just issued an address to the labourers employed on his estates at Firle, Susacut, on the question of labourers' unions. Delegates from the National Union have recently visited Firth and the neighbouring parishes, and his to • in consequence of his great age, has adopted this means of conveying his ideas on the subject Nomith. standing the fact that nearly WO are employed on his estates, each copy of the address was signed by himself. His lordship says :—" I have to observe that every English workman has a righ:: to jothain any union he pleases, but it must be remembrememberedt an English employer has an equal right to ref use employing men that belong to a union and I an. quite aware that all good and wise men are averse to them lam desirous to state, as the friend of the labourer. that I am unable to ascertain what good the unions have dose. As an employer of the labourer I I object to the rules of the unions more than to the unions ' In them‘elves, as I GA easily perceive that there might be a unio.i that would be quite harmeless in its effect between employer and ale'. Hut then I cannot allow for that union to dictate to me or to my workmen what wage, am to give or the men to receive, whether we would or not. That would be an cppresaion.quite wrong in principle, and would only lead to dissension and ruin to both aid... Trade combinatiou cannot alter the law of supply and demand, nor can they permanently raise or reduce the rata of wages. I have to complain of the shan.eful miastatewants made and the tone of abuse of farmers and landlords that have characterised the addresses of delegates and those who would listen to and believe such talk I should much rsther ense with their services, and got men to work who would trust me as their friend."
