" Unitnforuie Joko*. '* Friexdsr-Wefeel ...
" UnitnforUie JOKo * . ' * FRiEXDSr-Wefeel desirous this week of again drawing your attention to the Association for the Employment of Labour . We feel confident that when the working classes shall fully understand and appreciate our principles , they will not hesitate to adopt them , as the best calculated to secure our national elevation , and the universal emancipation of injured labour . For , however sanguine our expectations may be , they will be infinitely surpassed by the unspeakable power for good contained in this society , which as yet has but very faintly unfolded its capabilities .
It is in the full developement of the principles of this Association that the toiling millions will see its entire adequacy to redeem Labour , and how astonishingly it will supersede its predecessors , both in point of affording protection to industry , and in creating a field for the profitable employment of surplus labour . As we have often said , instead of exhausting our exchequer in tupporting unproductive strikes , use that means in providing happy homes for the overworked millions in setting them to useful and remunerative employment . It is to this source that we look for the perfection of our
present movement , and for the full attainment of the rights of industry , demonstrating beyond dispute the utter inefficiency of the old worn-out systems of managing trades' matters ; and at tho same time , unfold with the greatest satisfaction our improved method of directing the energies of the people successfully to realise their purposes , aud to pilot them in a channel the most conducive to the happiness and well-being of the industrious classes ; and to invest labour with claims , and with a dignity , that capitalists have been so long instrumental in effacing and degrading .
It is our wish , and we invite the calm and deliberate investigation of our fellow-labourers into the rules and objects of the association ; the preamble of which appeared in the Northern Star of Sep . 4 tb , which will show the comprehensive and rational measures of our reform , while the principle of our operation the offspring ot mature deliberation , enriched by long and practical experience in the inefficient plans heretofore adopted to procure a reward for labour . This association is a joint stock company , consisting of individual members , aud trades in their collective capacity . The shares are £ h . each , to be paid in at the rate of 10 s . per quarter . It is
contemplated to get 20 , 000 shareholders , either individuals , or of trades in their organised capacity These shares , when paid up , would invest us with a capital of £ 100 , 000 . The manner iu which it is purposed to appropriate the funds , is , to enter into manufacturing and agricultural speculations , in giving employment to skilled artisans , at their own kind of work , or in purchasing estates for the location of such of our redundant labourers as may be eligible ; instead of wasting it in unproducti e strikes and turn-outs . The capital , expended as the rules provide , would yield an annual income to the members in the shape of interest upen the amount invested in the funds . Some people object to such measures being adopted by the working-classee ; they say , it is
Utterly Imposstbfe For Working-Men To Do...
utterly imposstbfe for working-men to do so , as they hare neither th ^ kHt „ 6 r ^ gbility to sarry out sucn plans , that if it could be worked efficiently it would injure the trade , by 'introducing a spirit of undue competition , and glutting the market ; ori we succeeded , capitalists , by combining against us , would be enabled to close the market , an-Tbreak up tb | society wtb large stocks and no safe . These ; ana a host of other objections , are urged against the association , and in answering them , we shall be able to brmg forward the objects we have in view , per haps in a clearer manner than . we otherwise could do .
-lst . ~ fhey . « it i 8 utterly impracticable for working-meni to carry out such an enterprise , as they have neither the skill , nor the ability to do so . ' lnis objection may appear a little plausible at first Jie \ V . It appears rather diffisult to call a man from his bench , or his loom , or . his frame or anything else ta superintend the manufactory . But , we would ask ,, where do the present , manufacturers cet im ported from . ' For a moBjeaUook back upmv the history of your trades , say for this last 20 or 30 years , and look over the trades now , and ask yourself , how many ' of the masters are there how in the tradewho
, were in it 20 years back ?'' Look around we say , count them I And we ask you , once more , where did they get imported from ? Why , from your own ranks .. Many of them are the associates of your early dajs , who workedat the . sarae bench , and toiled with you for the . necessaries of life . If the presentrace of masters have been supplied from the working-class ; if the men who conduct the manufacturing and commercial operations of this country have been raised from among working-men , and men who conduct those Operations for their own personal employment ; surely the workingclass , could without , much difficulty , ' find others
equally competent . to enter upon the same commercial-pursuits , for the interests of themselves ; that the profits , in place of being lavished upon a few , ' should be divided amongst a ; company , of co-operators . ' Besides , we would ask , are we only to look f or skill and ability among the gifted capitalists ? Does filthy lucre imbue its possessor with this noble qualification ? Is kind nature partial in her bestowments ? Are the wealthy alone the skillful portion of our race ? No ! Nature is impartial in her gifts ! And the brightest gems in God ' s fair creation have risen from amonglthe despised and toiliig thousands . Skill of every grade , and suited for every variety of
action , and every form of , commercial , enterprise however critical ,, or however complicated , exists among the working-throng . But it is not . the absence of skill from the labouring portion of the community that is feared ; ' No . The fear is , ofthe workirig-clftss discovering that tbey really and truly do possess that skill i lest they should , with this knowledge , raise a capital by their associated capacity , and at oiice / develope their , mental fitness to undertake and carry out , efficiently , such speculations . Working-men , capitalists are afraid of your knowing your own power 1 and tremble lest you should discover the enormous profits arising from your own labour .
This objection is too late . The working-man is learning his own worth , and will never rest until he occupies the position of a man and a brother . The very existence of the National Association for the Employment of Labour , is a sufficient proof that the working classes are beginning to see in the right direction to liberty . Working men , we say , do not lack the . necessary skill to carry out such measures . They onl y want the capital , and wlien theyget the capital , they will also get the profits of capital- the honours of capital . For capital is always , honoured , though found in possession of a knave . Get capital , and we will warrant you will find men among you , amply qualified to conduct any undertaking either in manufactures or ' agricultures .
2 nd . But if it could be done efficiently , it would injure the trade , by introducing a spirit of undue competition into the market , and with too great a supply overstock the market . ' In reply , we say , eould we do worse than the present race of employers ? Could we do more injury , to trade , than what the capitalists have done ? That would be impossible . Did ever men try to compete , outgo , and under-sell each other more than the manufacturers do at the present time ? Was there ever such pinching , such screwing , and such planning to get labour performed at the cheapest possible rate as now ? Was ever trade more generally depressed than at the present time ? . Were ever the working classes worse off , more oppressed and ^ overwhelmed with keener sufferings , than they are how ?
Surely not ! all the evil consequences of the present strife , and force competition that characterise the'manufacturer , fall upon the poor labourers , they are the sufferers ; capital must be rewarded , must be honoured , and labour must go unrequited and degraded . Could working men , we would ask , by entering upon a plan of beneficial self-employ . ment do more harm to society ? Couldthey make things worse than they are ? Could they inflict more injury upon the trade by undue competition , than we are at present called upon to experience ? We think not-instead of doing injury it would do au incalculable amount of good . It would enhance
the value of labour . It would equitably distribute the profits of industry , and infinitely improve the social , the moral , and the physical condition of the people , and by that means promote peace and brotherly love . It would increase our home consumption , and create a demand for labour , and open a field for commercial enterprise , hitherto unknown , or rather untried , that would legitimately absorb the greatest portion of our productions , and by mutual interchange , generate a kind and fellow feeling , establish concord and harmony where disorder and confusion raged . Injure trade ! impossible—we want to protect it , and that protection is wrapt up in the plans and objects of this Association .
But we should glut the market , it is said . But that is not true . It pains us to seethe market so over-stocked as it is now , especially . when we consider the privations andjsufferiugs the people are compelled to endure . The markets are over-stocked , and the people are starving . The markets are not glutted because the people have enough , arid can consume no more , at least we think not ; ask the operative Framework Knitters of Leicestershire , of Derbyshire , and Nottingham how it is they do not wear more shirts , and hats , and shoes , and they will point you to their suffering hungry children , crying for bread , and have none tojgive ; ask the thousands of operative cotton spinners of Lancashire , how it is that they do not consume more coats and trousers than they do , and they will point vou to the careworn countenances of
their wives , their poverty-stricken children , half-clad and wretched , and the father unable to help them . The markets are overstockeel ,. not , because the people have enough and to spare . No ! but because their scaiitypitlance will not allow them to procure the smallest comforts of life . The poverty and destitution of ihe people is the main cause why our home consumption is so very small and unstable . But , mend their condition , pay them an adequate price . lor their labour , and they will quickly decrease your stocks , and create a demand for industry . This is the plan we suggest , and the way in which we are determined to go , i . e ., to improve the condition of the people , and when they have the means , they will soon ease their sufferings , and supply their wants , and by the concentrated power of tbe people , we will accomplish our purposes . -
But , says another , how is it that the foreign trade is so bad ,, as well as our home trade ? In answer to this , we say , manufacturers , in order to outvie in cheapness , and undersell their neighbours , have constructed machines to make spurious articles , and have sold goods of a very inferior quality to our foreign customers at the bestp iee , and being so repeatedly deceived by our goods , they have determined to deal with more honest aad more honourable tradesmen than what England can boast of . Thus our foreign orders arc countermanded , because the people abroad will be duped no longer on this point . Tbe opinion of a gentleman writing from Buenos Ayres , May 15 tb , 1847 , will show clearer
the cause why we are losing our foreign trade . It is as follows ; Sxtt ,- ~ I fear much that tho staple trade of this town will gradually be superseded by the Germans , i . e . the export trade ; and from my own observation their woollen and merino goods are , as I have said before , in my last letter , full 25 per cent , cheaper here tfcan those manufactured at Leicester , and I am afraid the same may be said of cotton hose . The French arc also sending out here good printed cottons , and such as do not deceive the natives , who aro
become pretty cunning , having be : n so often deceived by the exterior appearance of our prints ,, which in most instances won't bear the application of soap and water more than twice before tho colouw are gone . Now the French know all this , and take advantage of ns by sending out goods of a superior quality , thc / jonsequenceis , their goods are sold at a largo profit , and ours are accumulating in their stores , and no one will trust them except the shop-keepers in a small way of business , or those in the country . The fact is , the manufacturers , in England , by send .
Utterly Imposstbfe For Working-Men To Do...
ing out . suehtrasb , aro cutting their own throats . America is . sending but all sorts : of joiners' toots , of an excellent quality , ' arid no mechanic ever thinks of buying an English axe , saw , or file , because they have been so' ; often deceived ; Is not this system most sure to end in disgrace and loss to ourmannfaeturers ? Xou will hardly think it conceivable when I tell ypui that although there are millions of yards of calico in tbe city , you may look in vain for sucb ' as is called good shirting , and such as miv be bought in any drapers shop in Leicester for ' Si . per yard ; all is this highly glazed trash , and as the women say not * orth : making-up . We think this little information
wiU be able to account for the depression of our foreign trade . If we would preserve the trade , let us . endeavour to be honest . Lit the manufacturers return to fair dealing , and turn out the work to the satisfaction of our customers , and we * may ' yet recover the forfeited confieh-nce of our tradesmen , whom we have sickened and deceived by the BpuriOUsind inferior articles we have sold thorn for genuine . We must leave the remainder of the subject for another day , trusting at the same time , that the operatives will endeavour to rescue themselves by becoming a part of this Association , that the objects ofthe sister society may be more fully and speedily achieved ,
Letthe working classes bend their attention to this subject , and carry out our plan of rederapUon , and a just compensation shall yet be awarded to Labour ,
HOLYTOWN MINERS . The miners are still nobly aud firmly contesting the rights of labour ; nst . a man has broken the peace , nor offered violence to any one . They appear to have but one object in view—the rights of labour , and that they are determined to have or die in the attempt to gain it . ... We have , ongoing to press , received acopy ofthe document offtrcd ti the miners of Holy town , but it was too late for this week ' s &<>> , but shall appear next . » . e will unmask its hideousnes , and show the abominably iniquitous document . A more dark
andiniamous test wo never saw before . It is a direct and unblushing stab at our privileges , and at one blow will sever for ever the intercourse and mutual assistance of these men and their brethren . But no , this cannot he . We c & nioi see such monstrous atrocities practised upon our friends , without raising our hearts and voices against it . Let the trades continue their assistance . Let every man do a little , and we shall yet see the miners brought through this trial unstained witb ^ slavery , having nobly resisted the strongest attack of tyranny , to the last minute .
VVarniko . —We wish to advise our friends against a deception that has been practise' ! upon them , and we fear , if continued , might , eventually supersede the struggling of the ? Ilolytown miners , or rather defeat them in their objects ; we extract it from the Leicester , Journal : — - A Dkiubion . —We have been informed that a certain political agitator of this town , who professes great sympathy for the poor working man , has , at the instigation of a' worthy' knight , who has lately become eloeel j connected with the interests of the borough , induced setcval ef the able-bodied and industrious stocking makers to leave this town , with a view of procuring a more lucrative employment at Clay Cross Colliery , intimating to . them that they would be enabled to earn from 29 s .
3 Gs . per week . They were informed , we ore Uld , that their chief employment would bo in excavatingand curling a road , and that the undertaking would last for three or four mouths . This promise of bettering the condition of the poor half-starred stocking makers , induced a number of them to accept the proposal , and on Saturday last they were despatched by train ( onrriage paid ) to Clay Cross , We will hot offer any remarks of our own upon this subject at present , but will content ourselves by giving the following extract verbatim , from a letter received on Wednesday last , by the father of one of these poor deluded creatures : —' Chesterfield , Sept . 7 tb , 1817 . When we got to Clay Cross w £ found things very different to what we expected , We thought we were going to work on the bunk , but we found ire mutt
go down into the pit to work , or not at all . The men on " the bank were getting from 2 g / to 2 i . Cd . per day . They would give us Sj . Cd . perday form the £ rst to ' tnight , and then wo were to have what we got . We should have to find eur oiva candles , and they said we should not earn them Is . M . per day , so we thought if ire could not get tbat much for them , we could not get much for ourselves . We went down two pits , and we thought we should not like it at no price . We should have bad to bought flannel things to work in . They looked more like devils than men . We had to go a quarterof a mile under giound . We left 6— working down tbe pit , but I would not advise you to come , others mar do as thoy like . I am going en to Bradford to try to get work . *
We hope the above will be enough to put the unwary on their guard , bo that they may not be led astray , and be deceived as those men in this instance . . '
The Central Committee Met On Monday And ...
The Central Committee met on Monday and following days to transact the bminoss of the Association . Correspondence has been received from Birmingham , Manchester , Liverpool , Edinburgh , Glasgow , Isle of Man , Sheffield , Ilanley , Leicester , Nottingham , Chester , Keighley , Blackburn , Wolverhampton , Halifax , and a great number of other towns and villages . Adhesions have been received from Blackburn card . room operatives , Bristol tailors , Wakefield sacking weavers , Southwick crown glass workers , Leek mill-piecers , & c , etc . Also the following reporti : — SCOTLAND .
Mr Rodsok reported on Wednesday , ho waited upon the Holy town Miners , had an open air meeting of the district , not less than 1 , 500 being present , explained fully tbe position cf the Central Committep , showed them tbat they ( the C . C . ) had done as much for them as the trades themselves had given them the means of doing , consistent with other engagements tbey had en hand , when , after some discussion , tbey unanimously agreed to withdraw the document they had issued to the trades , desiring a special Cocfercr . ee ; he left the men in the best possible spirits , seeing that tbe trades of Britain had to spiritedly taken the matter up . He had pu : into his hand a printed document tbat is waiting the issue of the strike , one of the most stringent he ever saw . One of the rules forbid the men to belong tojmy union , or from attending any meeting for any purpose whatever , under heavy penalties ; such as being immediately discharged the works , and his wife , family , and furniture being turned into the street without any notice . The question is not so much
one of wages , as an attempt to destroy the union , the unionists , under the direction of W . Claughao , having always acted upon the principle of restriction , knowing well that when large stocks n ere upon the pit bank , their employers were in a position to starve thorn into a roduc tion of wages : it is for the trades to say whether they shall b » starved into compliance or not . The same evening he attended a large meeting at Paisley , held in a church , —the largest and most enthusiastic he has had in Scotland—which broke up apparently quite satisfied with what they had heard . He then went ou to Barrhead , and held an . excellent meeting in a schoolroom , which was crowded . In oiisequence of many being unable to attend , it was thought advisable lo hold another meeting ihe next evening , when he explained the principles of the Asset iatlou , and the position of the Holytown miners , to a numerous and attentive audience , the results of which will be a large accession of strength to the National Association .
WABJiNaro . t , — . Mr Parker attended a public meeting of tho trades , hold in tbe Town Hall on Wednesday , to take Into consideration the principles ofthe National Association of United Trades , the case of the Warrington glass-cutters , who have been on strike against a heavy reduction for several monlUs past , and the Holytown miners , and spoke at great lengtb . followed by Mr Horgrepves , of Manchester , in a very neat speech , urging tin- , necessity of a combiaed effort on the working classes to relieve themselves from tho trammels of misapplied capital . The following resolution having been proposed and seconded , was unanimously agreed to : —
• That this meeting , having heard the principles and objects of the National Association of United Trades , for the protection of iadustry and the employment of labour , fully explained , believes them to be eminently calculated to improve the condition ofthe trades generally , and earnestly calls upon the operatives of Warrington to give eff . et to the opinion here set forth , by joining forthwith ; and , further , that this meeting deeply sympathises with the Warrington glass-cutters and tho Holytown miners , and pledges itself to render them , all the support in its power , ' The meeting then separated .
Gee w Camp Mestiso . — A demonstration on behalf ofthe power-loom weavers of Bacup , Lancashire , took place on Sunday , consisting of between five and six thousand persons . Messrs Beesley , Wheelwright , Williamson and J . W . Parker , severally addressed the vast assemblage . The power-loora wearers in thu employ ofthe Messrs Aitken have bean ou strike during the last ten or twelve weeks , and this meeting was got up to evince the sympathy that has for a long time been manifested in their favour , and truly this meeting was indeed an imposing sight . Resolutions approring of the principles of the National Assjclatlon of United Trades , and a determination to join , were come to by a forjst of hands being held up in their favour . M * sfcnesrEB . —On Wednesday evening , a benefit tqok place at tbo Queen ' s Theatre , iu aid of the funds of the Manchester district . Tbe house was crowded in every part , aud the audience appeared much delighted ,
Alva , ScinuND . -The principles of the association are progressing iu Aha , and its moral power is operating among tho master class . While tbo members of the association wero obtaining subscriptions in aid of their bravo but suffering neujlibeurs in Holytown ; some ot the masters had the audacity to offer their men a reduc tion upon some kind of woik amounting from 18 to 20 p ; r . cent . But they arc happy to state , that by tho negoelation of a tew of onr hand * , appointed to wait upon the employer , in one of tbe largeas factories , we have succeeded iu making arrangements at a loss of 8 d per cent , only ; and wo are confident , bad those employed in our trade in this district been members of theasseoiation , we should hare succeeded without loss of one penny .
We , therefore , earnestly entreat all working wen to become members ofthe National Union , in order that thty maybe able to resist the encroachments of grasping capitalists , who are determined tolive inlwury and

The operatives , on their part , bad fostered their own ruin ,, by continuing in a state cf disunion , and consequently are utterly powerless in resisting the aggressions af opprefBion . But we rejoice to think that they arc be < iuoing to move in the right direction , and hepeere long to see tbem rise In the scale of humanity ,. as a band of brethren to rally round that standard , which has been raised by tbe funds of their order ; as a means of disarming the oppressor of all grades , in this and every other country , on the face of Ged ' s fair creation . You willoblige by finding a place for the above , in the colums oftheNoaiDBBN Stab , tbe acknowledged organ * f the association , on as early a day as possible , as a number of the membsrs are anxiously looking for it .

We may cxpict good results from this meering at Sheffield . _ Tha rc » olutionshavce ; manatedfron ) a society of men who are widely famed for their devotedness to labour ' s rights , and . their universal and impartial liberality in supporting their fJIow operatives , has procured f \* them the good-will and gratitude of thousands ; The cate of the Holytown miners is in good hands there , and we trust the desired effect will soon vu . fold itself . Let the trades look at this , and endeavour to cooperate with the operatives of Sheffield to rescue the f . iithf ul and firm miners of Holytowa from the degradation' audab ' solutc slavery that has been so long threatening tbem , and is now struggling for the last time , ta crush th « energies , and " . upset the privileges of these men ; but , fortunately , the trades are not going to suffer this to come to pass , they are determined to help them , and thus by their own power , deliver suffering humanity from ruin , and teach capitalists tbe folly of tampering in these days with the rights of the people . ¦
