The South Wales strike appears to be settled at last,

and the terms are said to be satisfactory both to the employers and to the men. The directors are pleased that the principle that the men shall be paid only for the days on which they work is now at length openly accepted by the men, and further, that if strikes should take place in the collieries or the docks with which the railway is connected, the railway men are not to be paid, which necessarily throws their influence against these subsidiary strikes. On the other hand, the men are very much pleased with the concessions made to them in relation both to time and wages. The only anxiety now is as to the disposition of the dockers to renew the quarrel.
