" Chfon For The Mi Wort," Faibnds,—In Ou...
" Chfon for the Mi Wort , " FaiBNDS , —In our remarks last week , we adverted to a counter-agitation being got up to prevent the Ten Hours clause of the Factory Bill from coming into operation . Tbe plan which some of the millowners have adopted , to effect their ends , is most disgraceful , and well merits the execrations of every lover of truth and humanity . The following we give as a sample ; in its authenticity we have unshaken confidence , and we seriously trust that every working man will take the matter up , and that the intelligent
and the friends of industry , will exert themselves to frustrate the purposes of these employers , and ex . pose their nefarious and disreputable conduct in relatioii to this agitation . After complimenting the Central Committee for their exertions in reference to the Ten Hours Bill , our correspondent continues , ' I will show you an instance of our tyrant ' s mode of aetiou on this measure . At the Mill , Mr John — . , the manager , gave notice about two weeks before Christmas , that a ballot would take place on the Ten Hours questioi ., stating , that if they did not decide in favour of an Eleven Hours Bill , he would stop the mill nine days at Christmas ; and having had experience of their mind during the
time the Ten Hours Bill was passing the House of Commons of almost a unanimous ballot in favour of that measure ; but the intimidation of the employers had its desired effect in obtaining a majority of 200 in / avotir of an Eleven Hours Bill . ' If the factory operatives will allow themselves to be fri g htened out of the free ixpression oi their opinion upon this question , and suffer the oppressor to ride rough shod over them , they will reap the bitter fruit . Por the f !!™ J !! fr ' ^ . i hBtlM ' ' y ° laboured energetically , earnestl y aud P * - ^ . an now , we would ask yon , , f you will suffer tne ^ , v „ f ve g th dg > votodiiess of thousands , to be overturned uJ on ; _ practicable measure , before it has been brought into operation ? . Surely not ! And if the enemies of vour
industry attempt to force you by threats ori / uimida * tion , to vote for an Eleven Hours Bill , let it be seen that you are proof against such dastardly conduct , which if practised by you , would be viaisted with a most rigorous and unmitigated application of the law . We told you last week , that if this measure was allowed to come into operation , one of the inevitable consequences would be , the employment of the men in preference to the women ; which appears to be the intention of the miH-owners , according to the Economist of last Saturday , and which is made ,
or at least attempted to be made , an argumenrin favour of the injurious tendency and impracticable nature of the Ten Hours Bill . But if there is nothing else to be feared from the adoption of the short time system , the injurious effects apprehended and conjured up by these interested men , will in reality turn out a blessed , boon to the factory opera , tives ; and no intimidation on the part of theemployers should prevent , or exertion on your part be spared , to secure the advantages ^ uch a measure is calculated to bestow .
The Economist informs us , that many of the factory operatives themselves are about petitioning Parliament for the repeal of the ten hours clause in the Factory Bill ; but if they are coerced to this by intimidation , and threatened with accumulating poverty and distress ; if they do not decide in favour of an Eleven Hours Bill . ' we need not wonder at the success attending the efforts of these millowners in their project ; but such success will only end in delusion ; and though it may fetter the lamb , yet the lion ' s strength will break those fetters in pieces , and less than a . Ten Hours Bill will be demanded . But if , as the Economist says , you now see that the short time system will prove to be an injury to you , rather than a good , petition against it ; but if , on the other band , you still hold the same opinion . thai prompted you in your exertions to
procure . an Act , limiting- the hours of labour , then express that opinion agfiin—express it / manfully , determinately , an & fearlessly ; independent of intimidation , or the conspiracies of your oppressors ; 13 o not hesitate , ; :..: ° « "H ; . ty , " . yrdiy " ro Mld the ^ Short Tiau ; Committee , aud rv'sdr ::-. frmsV that " w ; . \ i "" at least will try what will be the effects oJ-i . ; : pr ' . ieHcai working of this measure—and if it fai « l , yiHWer your anticipations , then go to the House oi Coir .. mons , tell them you were deceived as to its results , and pray tbe Honourable House to repeal the bill . But until you have first proved it a delusion , do not endeavour ( b prevent it from coming into operation . Get up public meetings—agitate the districts about you—sign your petitions-sheets to a man—and thus manifest your abhorrence of the delusive and aborair . able procedure of tho ^ e engaged in getting up thia
counter movement . The Central Committee of the above Association met on Monday and following days for the transaction of general businees , when a great mass of correspondence was received from every part of the country—also the following reports have been received irom agents and members of tke Central Committee . Messrs Daniels and Burden , shoemakers , attended a meeting of their body on the 10 th inst , at the Bull and Bell , Ropemaket's-street , Old Bailey . The meeting was well attended , ThB deputation explained the principles and working of the Association , after which a resolution , in favour of the same , was adopted .
On Tuesday , the 11 th inst , Messrs Holmes and Stnythers addressed another meeting of the same trade at the Globe and Friends , which was also well attended ; and after an able exposition of the principles and objects of the Association , a resolution in favour of such a combination , and of their intention to become a part of- that extensive confederation was carried . The secretaries are in attendance every Monday evening , to enrol members , at the Bull and Bell , Rope-makers-street , Finsbury , and at the Globe and . Friends , Stepney .
Warrington . —On Tuesday , the 4 th inst . Mr Parker waited upon Mr Hatfield , of the firm of Hatfield and Frost , relative to an offered reduction of ten per cent . It appears that the mill has been closed for some time , in consequence of the commercial panic ; during which , the men , with others in the town , have been supported by public subscriptions . Mr Hatfield gave notice to the board of Guardians , that he intended to open his mill on Monday , the 3 rd inst ., so that they were to cease giving relief to his hands ; by this mnans he sought to deprive the men of all succour , and thus having cut off all means of subsistence , force them
to a compliance to a reduction of ten per cent . But thanks to the Christian-like interference and co-operation of the vicar and others , Mr Hatfield was foiled in his attempts to starve the men to an unavoidable surrender to his exactions . The excuse for this reduction is , that the manufacturers of Stock p ort intended reducing thuir hands ten per cent . —consequently , he took the lead in this work of broken hearts , of starvation and ruin . But we are happy to say that Mr Parker , in company with a deputation from the men , succeeded in inducing tiie employer to withdraw the reduction offered to the weavers , who resumed work eti Monday , the 10 th inst .
In reference to the spinners , it is not likely that they will obtain immediate employment , as Mr Hatfield has purchased sufficient weft to last for the next month . We trust , however , that Mr Hatfield will see the necessity of conceding to the spinners their just claims . Surely it will redound to his honour ; for instead of having to encounter the execrations of famishing operatives , he will be hailed with the joyful acclamations of honest artisans , whose gratitude is ever unbounded to those who aid theirs in maintaining anything like a fair remunera . tion for their industry .
Great and Importasx . i & eeting of tm Holytown Miners . —On Tuesday , January 4 th , Mr Wm . Claug han addressed a large and higlily attentive meeting oi the miners of Holytewn . The speaker spoke at great length upon the beneficial tendency of the National Association , showing the immense good it was calculated to confer upon the working classes of the three kingdoms . That a more rational and practical organisation never was adopted ; and when the industrious portion ot the community were prepared to carry out its objects , oppression would turn pale , sink back and expire , and the proud despot be compelled to hide his head in shame , and blush for human arrogance .
Mr Claughan pointed out the advantages the National Association had obtained for the Holytown miners , that it had been the means of keeping them together in a powerful confederation , and would do so again , if they manfully adhered to its principles , and that that alone should induce them to clear off iheir arrears , to rally round its standard , and they would yet be able to realise an equitable remunera tioh for their labour . Mr Claughan was listened to with the greatest attention , and at the conclusion of his able and lucid lecture the following resolution was unanimously carried . Moved by Mr John Taylor , and seconded by Mr Thomas Mc Cray
" Chfon For The Mi Wort," Faibnds,—In Ou...
• That this meeting resolves to instruct Mr William Claughan to get our account with the National Association corrected according to our reduced rate of wages ; and further , to do all in our power to spread the princip les and objects of that Association to all the mining districts . We also pledge ourselves to adhere to the National Union closer than ever . ' Mr Claughan is instructed to visit all the mining districts as soon as ho can , and trusts byperseverance , earnestness , and untiring exertions , to restore the miners to their former proud position . We most heartily wish him success in his holy mission of slave emancipation . Let the miners unite with their gallant leader . Let them zealously co-operate with him in this glorious struggle , and they will be sure to accomplish their objects . Never tire in your devotedness—never slacken ia your exertions , and the day of labour ' s redemption
will soon dawn upon us , and obliterate the last vestige of tyranny and social bondage . Snap asunder the chains that now fetter us , and command us onward to consummate our purposes , and once again be partakers—ay , the first partakers too—of the fruits of our own industry . These are not idle dreams , vague and impracticable speculations ; but striking realities , for the attainment of which , thousands in England and Scotland are labouring with a zeal and earnestness proportionate to the magnitude of our undertaking . In this good work we again say to the miners , labour earnestly and well , and depend upon it you will not be long before you reap the fruits . Let a feeling of reciprocal love and human brotherhood prompt us to our duty , and when a strong , faithful , and holy band of brethren are united for their common good and protection , it will require a mighty power to sever their connexion , or to frustrate the objects of their
unions . * * A . 11 men are brethren , ' how tho watchword ' s run , And when men aet as sueh , thtir iruedom ' s won . ' In the mining districts of Lancashire , u strong feeling in favour of National Organisation is widely spreading , and to crush this growing feeling , parties have been industriously circulating u report , that the National Asso-• V" * * t "J' delusion and a snore , ' and thus endeavouring to obatruv ,. . _ „ ,,. . .. . , , nrogress .

The following is a flat denial on tbe part of Mr To ; lor , of hia ever having intimated any thing to anyone , that should lead even to aa inference , that the National Asseciatioa is ft' delusion and a snare . ' ' Holytown January , 4 th , 1818 ,
' I hereby certify that I did not at nny time give Mr David Swallow , or any other party acting for him , any document , letter , or any other correspondence , so as he could denounce the National Association at being a snare . What I stated traro facta in answer to hi * queries , aud that one relating to whether I would advise them to join the National Association or not , 1 left unanswered , leaving to their orrn judgment what course to pursue , 'Signed by me , as witness my hand . John Tailor . ' We trust , after this , that the miners of Lancashire will not be deterred from becoming a part of this great confederation , destined to elevate and bless the working olaases .
Mr John Shephard of Milibiidge , and Mr Joseph Bat ton of Batley Car , attended a public meeting at Mirfield , The meeting was well attended , and an excellent feeling was manifested . The deputation respectively addressed the meeting upon the principles and objects of the Association . At the close of tho meeting , a resolution in favour of tbe National Association of Trades ' was unanimously carried , Messrs Williamson and Robson have addressed several meetings of th <> Cradtey chain makers , the Netherton miners , and blast furnace workers . Tbe mv etings bare been well attended , considerable excitement has been created , The whole district is in a State of ferment in consequence of a reduction of twenty per cent , having been offered ( 0 the men .

Shevinqton . —On th ? 3 rd instant , Mr Lenegan attended a delegate meeting of Coal misers , sni at the cloia of their district business , addressed a public meeting . He obstrved tiiat ho wished to correct a report that the agents of the Miners' Association had been zeal ousiy circulating , namely , that the ol ject of the National Association was intended to subvert all local unions , which statement be stoutly repudiated , and showed , instead thereof , that It strengthened their hands , fifty ' and an hundred fold , as the following quotation from the preamble to the laws , page will show : * It is at the same time no part of the design of this association to Interfere with the existing Trades' Union " , but that the General As ; ociatiou of Trades should rather bo grafted upon , and grow out oitbsao uaions , than
supersede them , At the same time , it was intended to have one ' common centre towards which their associated means should converge , for mutual assistance and sup * port in cases of need . ' From this it will be seen , that it is not the object of the National Association to interfere With or break : up existing trades' unions . They advised them to cling to their own combination ; and to strengthen their position , wished them to unite them selves with the ' Monster Union , ' that they might , the mora effectively , procure the rights of labour , Mr J , Whitler , the district secretary , addressed the meeting at some length , promising bis support and co-operation . After which , resolutions in favour of the association , and pledging each delegate to support the same at their repective lodges , were unanimously carried .
On the 4 th instant , Mr Lenegan waited upou the shoemakers of Wigan , who , from unprecedented distress , have postponed sending their adhesion . On the 7 th instant , Mr Lenegan attended the Miners ' Lodge , at the Weavers' Arms , when he explained the principles of the Association .
