UNITED TRADES ASSOCIATION FOR TRE PROTECTION OF
INDUSTRY . " Union for the Million . " The Central Committee of the above Association held their usual weekly meeting at their office , 30 , Hyde-street , Bloomsbury , on Monday , December Hfcft , T . S . Duncombe , : Esq . M . P ., in the chair . Amassof correspondence was read , among which was a letter from the Block Printers of Mitcham , stating that two of their members had been discharged in consequence ot their taking an active part in Trades' Union matters . Mr . Allen was requested to go to Mitcham to ascertain tho facts of the case , and report to the committee .
A member of the association from Rochdale was introduced to the committee : be stated the whole of the Joinera of that town were out , in consequence of the employers attempting to enforce new rules and regulations into the trade , which would have the effect of depriving the men of their breakfast and tea half-hours , and of otherwise bearing ; very oppressively upon them . Mr . Bush was requested to proceed to that town to mediate between the men and their employer- - , to endeavour by mutual concession to settle the dispute now pending , without entering into an expensive , and probably protracted strike , injurious alike to both masters and men . After a largo amount of tbe usual routine business had been cone through , the committee voted < £ 259 , being their fourth instalment on the 500 shares held by them in the Association for the Employment ol ' Labour . The committee then adjourned .

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EM . PLOYMENT OF LABOUR IN AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURES . The usual weekly board meeting of the above association was held at the office . 30 , Ilyde-street , Bloomsbury , tbe president , T . S , Duncombe , E > q . M . P ., in the chair , on Tuesday last . Mr . Webb , the secretary , reported that since the last meeting of the Board three ton of nails bad b > . en received at the depot in Drury-lane , from the men employed by the association at Cradley , "VYorcentcrshire ; also hosiery from their men in Nottingham , and a large quantity of silk gloves from the men employed at Duffield , near Derby . A letter was read from the secretary to the
Hand-, loom Weavers of Wilmslow , ottering the association money at interest . The Board resolved , that Trades' Unions , Benefit Societies , or other bodies , wishing to invest their funds with the Association for the Employment of Labour , should be allowed four per cent , per annum interest , on their deposits ; one month ' s notice of re-payment being required . The Board also resolved , that all paid up shares should receive five per cent , interest from the date of such share being so paid up , unless a larger dividend should be declared .
Great complaints having from time to time been received by the Board , to the effect that the Boot and Shoe Depot , in Drury-lane , had become much too small to carry on the increased business of that establishment , they have much pleasure in announcing , they have purchased the lease of the extensive premises No . II , Tottenham-court Road . As soon , therefore , as the premises arc properly fitted up , the whole business of the two associations will be carried on at that plaee ; they therefore hope the working men will continue to support , and induce their friends to aid them in supporting the association in its laudable effort in protecting the working man from the tyranny of heartless employers . The Board then adjourned .
5 ST Trades' Societies are reminded , that in consequence of the liberal offer of the Northern Stor t to devote a portion of its columns to the proceedings of the association , a full report will henceforward be found in each week ' s paper , therefore all Trades' Societies belonging to the association , desirous of obtaining such reports , are recommended ( to ensure punctuality ) to send their orders for papers to the Association ' s Office , in Dyde-street , which they ca > . pay for when they remit their levies . Any communication of importance that the trades may have lor insertion , must be at the office , 30 , Hyde Street , on Wednesday , to insure its appearance in the current number .
The I1and-Loom Weavers Of Cheshire, Lanc...
THE I 1 AND-LOOM WEAVERS OF CHESHIRE , LANCASHIRE , dsc . A numerous meeting of the hand-loom weavers oi Gatly , Chesire , and its neighbourhood , took place at the Hare and Hounds , Gatley on Thursday evening , December 10 , at eight o ' clock . Mr . Swift having been , called to the chair , addressed a few observations to the meeting , to the effect that they had been called together to hear the principles of the National Association for the protection of industry expounded by the two friends who had been deputed by the Central Committee of London for that purpose . He called on the meeting to give that attention to the subject which its importance merited , and he had no doubt that either of the gentlemen would answer any questions which might be nut to them satisfactorily . He then called on
Mr . Fbbl , who addressed the meeting to the following effect—Friends , I am happy to meet so many of the hand-loom weavers of this neighbourhood . Some of you may be disappointed in your expectations of deriving great entertainment from this meeting . You may come here expecting to hear two fine eloquent speeches ; for my own part I am no speechmaker , neither is it for such purpose I came here , hut for a purpose of a much more useful character . 1 have been deputed here to invite your attention to the principles and objects of the National Association for the protection of Industry and the employment of Labour , and if I can , by reason and argument , bring home to your convictions that these associations are based upon principles , and offer advantages to the working man , superior to those offered by any other Association of the present day , or of any former period , then I shall be in a position
to claim your co-operation . I shall then think 1 have a right to appeal to your common sense as rational men , to join with us in that holy warfare , which , under our able and truly patriotic chieftain Thomas Duncombe , we are now waging against the system which places labour under the iron heel of capital . My friends , I say we are waging war agaimt a system , because , be it always remembered , it ia not against individuals we war , except so far as through their acts , perhaps unavoidable consequences ,, the worst features of a bad system are made manifest . 1 come not here to preach anarchy or sedition ; I come not here to sever the ties which bind the employed and his employer as far as those ties are mutually beneficial , because if not mutually beneficial they are not ties like those of friendship ,, which it were treason to sever , but bonds worse than those of the West India slave . Mr . Peel then went
at great length into explanation of the laws of the association , proving its superior utility and ultimata consequence . He also took occasion to show the evils which flow from , and the absolute inutility of strikes , and drew attention to the far more beneficial system of these associations of finding employment for the surplus labour , and by tho-same means affording the only sure protection to theoppressed . He urged those present to endeavour to win over their ; fellow-workmen * not by coercion , or threats , which only created a spirit of antagonism , but by kindly persuasion , ami brotherly remonstrance . He particularly urged on the necessity of tbe women-workers and the children , their little infant bobbin- windery joining in the monster coilfederacji , and closed a long argumentative address by thanking
them for their attention , retiring amidst the- hearty greetings oSthe audience . Mr . John Lenegan , lhamV-Toom weaver © I ? Virigan ,, and agent for the Association ) , then cams- forward and adlnessed tho meeting s—Hasid-loorja Weavers of Gatly . and friends ,. —It iswith feelings of great pleasure , I rise for the second time to address the inhabitants of Gatly . I am not a stranger to you , I have fceen for some years actively engaged in endeavours to promote fcae-interest of your trade and mine . But however tihe-powerfui influences of birth and education may hare produced a bias in favour of the trade which froia infancy I have been engaged in , yet the progress of events aad an enlarged experience , brings me now before you as a Philanthropist and Cosmopolite , If there is one
man in this meeting who lias known aed folt the bitter pangs of hunger , there cannot be one who has tasted more of misery and destitution than myself . Can it beYight that the man destined to live by the shuttle , shall be lor ever doomed to live in a state bordering on starvation and misery ? I boldly say No ! such a proposition is a wicked blasphemy on nature ' s God , and a foul libel on nature ' s laws . My friends , my own capacity for tho mission I am called to , may be questioned . At an early age I was compelled to leave my father ' s hearth and a loved family circle , yos ! the monster Destitution , drove me forth to save a father approaching seventy years of age , from the horrors of an union bastile ; to strive with all my strength to fulfil the pious duty of alleviating the few remaining sorrowing years of a beloved
and honoured parent . But 1 would here ask what state of society is this when such facts as these exist ? Is there a man who will say this is rijiht ? that man ' s heart is stone . But the weavers of Gatly , compared to the unhappy denizens of the pestiferous towns , may be said to live a life of rural felicity , they breathe an uncontaminated atmosphere , they possess comparatively a decent amount of the necessaries , though not one particle of the luxuries , of life they ought to have . Should the ox be muzzled , who treadeth ut the corn ? Should the man whose labour and skill p roduces all the good things of this life , be robbed of his share , while those who merely exchange , erect their sumptuous palaces , their luxurious carriages , and secure for themselves all that can administer to theft etiWiiW ^ ' LqoK on that pivtUK i then on
This, Behold That Van Emaciated Infant A...
this , behold that van emaciated infant at ( he bobbin ' wheel , that damnable machine , nailed there as i were from morn to eve , robbed of those hours which should be devoted to infantile enjormentand instruction . Lot ns all then with ono determ ' ned heart never withhold our exertions until these evils , these crying evils , be remedied . The The last time I was here , I came as an advocate for union , now I am here to advocate union . The Railways , and all those contrivances by which human labour is su perseded , shew tthe power of union . It " union is good even in a bad cause , how doubly good in a good cause ; bad men unite to oppress , then come Jack and Bill , come—let us unite to redeem . Local unions are goed , but totally inefficient—their inefficiency stands confessed before tlie world by the
history of a thousand Strikes . What real benefit lias the working man ever gained by the old fashionedand now thank heaven fast exploding system , of strikes . In my native town of Wigan , £ 2 % was spent in one strike , and the men were thsn compelled to go in worse than when they turned out . If they had then been in a National Trades Union , with the whole kingdom at its back , they would have said , " Hand-loom weavers , come and work f or us , anil wo will protect you . " Again in 1823 , the Cotton Spinners struck for a rise , they spent £ 160 . 000 , and then went in for less wages than they had before . I firmly believe that strikes have done more harm than all the bad Jaws on tliostatute book . In thU nice of competition between capital and labour , the master should not go too far , nor tbe working man . The
employer from his capital is entitled to live well , and the working man by his labour should also live well ; be should also have a good coat to his back , that he could go on Sunday to hear the word and to worship God ; but which of you have this—1 fear not many . Mr . Lcnvgan then explained the objects of the National Association ; it souyht to interfere with no man ' s politics , with no man ' w religion—it sought to embrace all good men , and to gather » U into its fold as a mother would her children ; it sought to protect its members from the tyrant ' s oppression , to mediate between parties , that failing , to protect , not by strikes , but by employment according lo their several capacities and callings . Mr . Lenegan then entered into explanation , and concluded a very eloquent and lengthened address amidst the hearty j . laudit * of the
audience . Mr . Wolstencroft then moved the following resolution : — " That this nieetinir having heard theoljecls of thp National Association of United Trades for the Protection of Industry explained by Messrs . Peel and Lenegan , are efopitiion that such an association , from its magnitude and unity , is better calculated to achieve the emancipation of working men from their present poverty and degradation , than any mcreloeal union , and that it is consequently entitled to the confidence and support of the working classes ? . And that we , the Hand-loom weavers of tiatley , who are already enrolled under its banner , do promise to remain true and faithful ourselves , and to indeavour , by kindly persuasion , to prevail on our felloiv workmen to follow so good an example . " The resolution being seconded , was put from the chair , aud carried without a dissentinjj voice .
Three cheers were then given for Thomas S . Duncombe , Esq ., aud three for Messrs . Peel and Lenegan , and the meeting separated .
