 388 THE BUILDING NEWS. May 10, 1872. SS ] LEEDS.—The Committee of the Leeds Operative House Painters’ Society met on Saturday evening, to meet any member of the society who had failed to re- ceive the advance of one halfpenny per hour, as agreed upon. No one appeared, from which it may be inferred that the advance has been conceded throughout. NortH STarrorpsuire.—Mr. H. T. Davenport, who was appealed to as umpire upon the demand of the carpenters and joiners of the Staffordshire Potteries and district, for an increase of wages and the adoption of the nive hours’ system, has given his decision. An advance of }d. per hour in wages, making 64d., has been conceded ; and by a re-arrangement of the hours the nine hours period will practically be worked during the winter months, the summer hours remaining nearly as at present. SHEFFIELD.—The lock-out of plasterers at Sheflield has terminated, the masters having agreed to the de- mands of the men. S. Heven’s.—On Saturday a deputation of five members of the joiners’ society met an equal number of the employers to consider the question in dispute. It was agreed to refer the matters in dispute to arbitra- tion, and the Rey. W. A. Mocatto was named arbitra- tor, ten o'clock on Monday morning being fixed for the meeting. A deputation met the reverend gentle- man at that hour, and intimated that the men refused to submit to his or any arbitration. Worksor.—Notice was given by the stonemasons and joiners to their employers of their intention to strike in the event of the nine hours per day and half- holiday on Saturday not being conceded, and this notice having expired on Wednesday week, withoutany concession having being made, about fifty of the men left work. The masters have formed an association in de- fence, and resolved to pay the men at a fixed rate per hour, and that all men working in shops and protected buildings during the winter months shall be paid as in summer. WATERFORD.—The Waterford carpenters, masons, and plasterers went out on strike on ‘Tuesday for an increase of wages to 28s. The master carpenters on Wednesday conceded the advance. ———2>.—__.
