The men agreed to refrain from attendance at every office until notified that the whole of the blacklegs bad been dismissed. The Secretary of the Union advised the men not to injure the blacklegs in any way, bnt endeavor to gain redress in a peaceful manner. The sorters have joined the Union. Mr Pearse, correspondent of the Daily News, was mobbed as a spy. July 10.
