Newcastle Engineers Strike Ends? Arbitration Sought
The Newcastle engineers vote to submit a wage reduction equal to three hours, with arbitration as a fallback if the amount is disputed. Masters reject the compromise and propose returning to earlier terms, while pledging arbitration to a national congress of employers and engineers. A mass meeting supported the strike, reaffirming demand for eight hours and backing Mr Burnett’s leadership.

Mundella urged to help forge trade dispute settlement
In Newcastle a meeting praised Mundella for mediation and urged the creation of courts of conciliation and an arbitration board in the engineering trade. A Manchester document outlined a big employers’ drive to oppose the nine hours movement and hire foreign workers, with firms contributing per worker. Mundella hopes to revisit Newcastle to push settlement before departure.
