Tn the inquiry by the Royal Commission on Trades Unions, Mr. William Allan, the-Secretary of the Amalga- mated Society of Enginecrs, has been examined, and his evidence gives an insight into the working of a most extensive organization, formed entirely of one of the best paid body of workmen in the country. The witness stated that the society was formed in 1851 of a number of socioties which had previously existed, and it now numbered 33,600 members, with an annual increase of 2,000 or 3,000 a yoar. There are, he aid, 308 branches—namely, in England and Wales 238 branch having 27,856 members; ii Scotland, 33 bran having’ 3.218 members; and in Ireland 11 branches, having 1,371 members. In the British colonies there are 14 branches, having 626 members, emer Ie Australia, Canada, Malta, New Zea- land and Queeasiand. The United States have 11 branches with 498 members, In France there is only one brauch, having 30 members. All these branches are governed by one code of rules, and the members of the foreign branches are principally Englishmen, Those in France are ail ‘hack, member pays 1s, # week, and the joty has now a fund in different banks, in round num- bers, of £140,000. annual income in 1865 was te the United and one is no exception to the | ¢ each mem having to ‘an entrance Tilo, ‘The finances ‘are to be set to order, the | fee” veryiag from 15a 0°43 10s,” The expendi. army is to reorganized.

With respect to “trade purposes,’ the stated that the average annual payment to members out of work for the fifteen years society had been in ox- fatence was £18,000. On being questioned as to what reentage of this money had gone through atrikes or disputes, he said—‘ We have only had one dispute which you may call important in our trade since the com- mencement of the society, and that was in 1852, In the first six months of that year we expended £40,000 on a lock-out; but ft was not our fault we were out of employ- ment; it was the fault of the employers, vie us annual deficit of £12,000,000 must be looked straight in the face.

Rat- tazzi, of conrse, reckons on the “liquidation of the ‘ecclesiastical property.”’ It is a great, no doubt, though only a tem] resource, As to the means of effecting that liquidation the Minister refers ‘us to his address lately delivered at Alessandria, There we learn that bis plan consists in first robbing, then feeding the Churen. It remains to be seen how much the frst operation may yield, how much the second may cost. Rattazzi is professedly opposed to the prin- ciple of a free Cuurch; we must learn how he intends to manage a salaried clergy. On the subject of the temporal power we are assured that ‘the will loyally execute the September convention, and prevent any attempt that may compromise the future of this ques- tion.” In the meanwhile Garibaldi, we hear, has ar- rived at Florence, where the names of the Roman committee calling themeeives “the centre of insurrec- tion,’’ have been openly published, Evidently the new Premier will lie on no bed of roses. THE REFORM QUESTION. cent, as lar as any strikes Wi cerned.’’ He then went on to the organization and the government of the society. Each branch is managed by a committee, and there fs an executive council, to which appeal is mado against decision of branch committee. The executive is employed fou evenings a week, and holds dav meetings to hear these complaints. He considered that from two-thirds to three-fourths of the whole trade belonged to the union. ‘On the question of rules, he enid there were some by- laws in addition to those printed for general circulation, and these by-lawsare read to every candidate when he is admitted. They had relation to piece-work and obtaining eituations for non-society men. “If,” he continued, ‘a member obtains a situa- tion for anon-society man, without the consent of the president or officer of his branch, he Is lable to a fine of 58."’ ‘And we have a fine of 10a. and a fine of 203, and exclusion to any member who is work- ing piece work and will not share the surplus money with those engaged on the work, and the phraao ‘those engaged on the work’ does not apply simply to our own members, but to boys and to non-gociety men as well.” After the great strike or lock out of 1862 the funds of the society fell to 000 in hand, and 2,000 members left out of 12,000. Afier that a levy of 6d. « week each man, in addition to the ordiaary subscription, was made in order to realize a fund. There had been no strike since 1852 of any importance, but if there were to be the society would call on the members to subscribe a sovereign or half sovereign, 80 that there was no fear of tne fund going down. Mr. Hughes asked, “It is very difficult fur a strike to happen in your society, I believe?
