"Rhfon/Ortftejfaiiot*." Friends-We Feel ...
" rHfon / _ortfteJfaiiot * . " _Friends-We feel desirous this week to amplify a subject adverted to ih the Northern Star of June ZUth , namel J \ the subject of victimization , practised by some employers towards their men , for being active members in Trades Unions .
Of all the abus es and evils practised upon the working classes , oppressing and crushing tbem , in many instances without hope of recovery , this system of victimization is the worst . It is the most dastardly and destructive course pursued by one man towards another . It is the offspring of a bad "eajt ! . whose guilt is rendered dark and infamous , by deliberately contriving to overwhelm in affliction and trouble its unfortunate victims in the mostcunnmg and subtle manner ; and therefore it is the most dangerous and futile in its operation .
Itis not only intended , by this disgraceful system of victimization , to ruin and impoverish the objects of its spleen , but also to obstruct the progression of emancipation , and to perpetuate ihe chains which enslave and fetter the working man . This has _inva-iably been the plan adopted by might and wrong , to put down the growing claims of right , and injured humanity , The principle upon which this hideous _syBtem operates is various , though its objects are ever the same . Sometimes it lays its witherinrt talons upon its unfortunate victims at _roidnight-hour , drags them to the felon ' s cell , and locates thera manacled among the _vileBt and most degraded of human beings ; and , before necessary arrangements can he made for a fair and honourable trial , they are forced through a kind of mock-trial , where justice is put to shame , and truth is made to blush for such human
arrogance—while humanity shudders at the monstrous proceedings and cruel decisions of such one-sided and counterfeit trials , which doom men to bonds and imprisonment , without the least chance of obtaining counsel , or hare justice . At another time the same system is carried on more openly , and with apparently more justice * , bnt under that false appearance lurks a savage spirit , full of rage and rancour , and thirsting to satiate itself in inflicting its spleen and vengeance upon a brave and noble spirit , that dares assert the ri g ht to live , to liberty , and to ample remuneration for their labour . By effecting the banishment of snch worthy men from their homes and sweet remembrances of affectionate children , they think to rob the labourer of his hire , and swamp the movement for Labour ' s i regeneration .
At another time this same system takes another course ; it puts ' ou a face of sorrow , it mimics pity , it affects a land and humane feeling . And by tbis hypocritical and dissimulating policy , endeavours to persuade the good and true to recant their principles —to turn traitors to the cause of freedom and justice , and sell for a morsel of bread , the imperishable rights of labour . In some instances this artful policy has proved effective , but in others it has not . There have been hundreds of true English hearts who would not be so led astray . An innate spirit of independence has induced them to repel with indignity tbe attempt to filch away the rights and privileges of their order , by snch mean artifice * , and
where the spirit of low cunning and deceit , ha 6 crossed a noble mind ; and finds its artful schemes unsuccessful , it begins to be rather harsh . Then it threatens , then it rages and endeavours to intimidate , and finding all this useless they cast him off as a pest , a nuisance to society , and one that no respectable employer should employ ; a dangerous man in a shop , who ought to be starved to death if he continues so obstinate a fellow as to go in opposition to his master , and in seeking to elevate the working classes . And thus is he driven away—no one will employ him—the masters set a mark upon him as an innovator , and proscribe big entering their establishments to seek a job of work .
How many hearts have bled , and happy families been severed , through this direful system ? No one can imagine the numbers who have fallen a sacrifice to it , and suffered martyrdom for their strenuous adherence to the principles they consider to be dear and of vital importance . This system of victimisation has not been confined to trades' movements alone , but in every other movement for the recovery of the rights of the working classes . Volumes might be filled with accounts of the sad and gloomy
results of this baneful and destructive system ; but we must confine our attention more particularly to cases in connection with trades' movements . And numerous instances of base and cruel treatment rushes upon our minds , of the wrongs perpetrated upon unprotected lahour hy unprincipled employers . Every trade in their local operations bave had their victims . They know what a frown or a threat of an employer indicates , when excited by the _devotedness of zealous unionists . "We could select
individuals who have suffered long and keenly for labouring to elevate the condition of tlieir trade . One individual , jwhose name we neednotjmention , in 1836—7 took the lead in a very important strike , which continued 13 weeks ; and forthe part he took in trades affairs , incurred the hot displeasure ol the master class . He was a good and true man , and well qualified for the efficient management of trades' unions . And nobly did he fight the battles of his trade for many years , and , through tbat career , obtained some glorious victories . And for this , as we have stated , he in erred the displeasure of the master class and ever since the date alluded to , for upwards of 10 years , he has been the object of the vindictive cruelty ofthe employers . No one would give him work ,
and , had it not been for the kind interference of a humane friend , he would have been left in want and penury . But through the kind aid -of this friend , he was enabled to defy the rage and malice of wrong doers . But adversity frowned upon him , and distress threatened to overwhelm hira ; and instead of receiving support Irom the men in whose cause he suffered , they disowned him , some of them attempted to blast bis reputation , by circulating the most gross and groundless calumnies , and thus , what the masters could not effect . Th e men , whose battles he fought , and for whose interests he offered himself a sacrifice , accomplished for them . Yes , poor man 1 disowned and neglected by his own trade ; has now found an asylum , and been befriended by the operatives of Sheffield .
Another instance of this cruel system occurred m Keithley , in Yorkshire , some time back ; in the case of a young woman , a power loom weaver . I * appears the warp . * given her to weave , were uncommonly bad , so much so , that it was impossible for her to earn a livelihood . She determined therefore to resist this encroachment upon her rights . She did so , and during the time she was out , obtained another seat of work . But ber former employer applied for her discharge , which was conceded . She sought for another situation , and succeeded in getting one ; but , scarcely had she commenced to work , when her old employer applied
to have her turned away ; but the gentleman , in whose service she was then engaged , objected to obey the mandate of this cruel man , adding , " the young woman must live , and that she' must cither starve , or expose herself in the streets to get a living . " Bnt this kind of reasoning seemed only to enrage the old employer , and he determined to be revenged upon a helpless woman , for having dared to mend her condition by honest industry . He immediately dispatched an inspector with a warrant to apprehend her , she was accordingly dragged away to the court-house , and hurried before a magistrate . The trial was only a mock one , and , in a short time , she was committed to the house of correction for
one month . But through the exertion of the men of Keithley , the case was soon quashed , and the magistrate and employer were put into a terrible fright , expecting that an action would have been entered against them , whicii would have been done , bad not the _povtrty of the men prevented them from doing so . We offer no comment upon this case , it is able of itself to unfold a something relative to the wrongs and sufferings inflicted upon the workingclass . This is but one , out of a great number of similar cases , which are suffered to pass with impunity , without being ever brought to light .
Anolher case is that of a poor man in Manchester-He took an active part in the National Association , and through that he has brought upon himself the everlasting hatred and ill-feeling of the employers , in that trade . But the central committee took up his case , and for months has he been supported as a victimized man . About three weeks ago he got work at a mill , but just as he had commenced to work , the foreman entered tbe room , asked him bis name , and being informed , he was ordered away from the factory , and no employment could be given tn such a man as that ; and thus he is again , with almost a broken heart , forced from emp loyment , for nothing in the wide world but for his labouring , in the sincerity of his soul , to leave his fell ow creatures better off than they are at present . But he must not be left to perish ! The dark designs of unfeeling employers Biust be defeated , and _upprotected labour shall yet

rise , develope , and enforce its claims , and at once shake off for ever ; , the hideous encuniberances that obstruct the onward march of Labour ' s emancipation . ¦ ¦ . _'; ¦ If the Working classes would aid us in effecting this , join the National Association . Would you avert the ruinous _tendencv 0 f victimisation , join ths _National Association . Would you create happy homes for the distressed and destitute , hasten to become members of the Association . And not merely the Association for thc Protection of Industry , but also the Association for Employment of Labour ; and let those trades bodies who are in possession of surplus funds , take immediate steps to invest those funds iu the National Association for the Employment of Labour . They offer as good security as any tbat can '< be obtained in any Rank in the Kingdom and we offer four per cent , upon all money so invested . But
even this , we consider of itself , is of but small moment compared with the great advantages that would accrue to the working classes from such investment . For , instead of that money being applied to work the downfall of their class , it would be used to effect their entire redemption , by being employed in a reproductive manner , in giving employment to idle hands , and by that means become manufacturers , and in course of time practical farmers ; and so replenish our exchequer by the profits arising from the manufacturing and sale of goods , hitherto amassed for individual aggrandisement , and to assist capitalists in executing their cruel designs upon the working man . Then we say to the trades possessing surplus funds , invest them with us , and you and your children will reap the advantage ; and the trades now oppressed and ground down to the earth , shall be restored to the rights and privileges of their forefathers .
The following excellent memorial has been received from the Broad-Silk Weavers of Manchester , whicii is recommended to the consideration of the various trades societies in connection with the National Association : —
UEXOMAL OF TUB _BBOAD-SILK WEaVVEM Or _MlNCUESritt AND BALVohD _, Sheweth _, That your memorialists are fuilj alive to the situation of the Central Committee , in the comparative _inefficiency of the Association ; and aware , that tbe transition from a Btate of isolation to association , —from disorganization to union , —must _neoeesurily be a state of pain ant ! suffering ; that tho habits ot jeaIou « y engendered by the repulsive sjstem ( where every man's bund wss against hia brother ) will bo carried to a great extent into the unit-ad . When to this we add the di 6 u-ust _occusioned by the failure of former local unions , and the acrimony and ill-feeling of employers . We cordially sympathize with you on the irksome and paintul duties you and your agents have had to perform , and heartily congratulate you on the firmness and decision you have already evinced , and the _auccees which has attended your labours .
Your memorialists , therefore , call yonr immediate attention to tho Mlb ' octof honorary raemberB , and suggest , that select committees be forthwith appointed in all the ' townB and districts where the Association has branches for the purpose of obtaining such members .. That tbe instructions to such committees be , first , tha issuing of large posting-bills , announcing to the public the objects of tho society , and the _advuntage-Lto be derived by the different classes , viz ., the nobility , gentry , bankers merchants manufacturers , wholesale and re . tail dealers , tradesmen , artisans , and labourers , wben a fair remuneration shall he _seeured , and a proper stimulus given to the industrious class .
That circulars be addressed to respectable individuals shortly after such placards bo published ; then oall their attention tothe resolution of the late conference relative to honorary memburs , and announce Dint parties will be appointed to solicit their individual support to a society thus admirably calculated to give a healthy tone to tbe trades of this country , by increasing the home consumption , and conferring salutary benefits upon the whole community . That all large and populous districts be divided into sections , and local committees to canvass the same .
That sueh local committees consist ef the members of the Association , and others knovrn to be favourable to the independence of labour , and in _connection with tbe Belect committee , form a perm sanest hoard to meet periodically , for the purpose of hearing : reports , stimulating exertion , and otherwise furthering our common objects _. That a per _centage be allowed to the committee and visitors out of their first twelve months' subscriptions , as pocket money daring tbe canvass , "' Your memorialists are fully confident from the number of licensed victuallers , beer and coffee-house keepers ,
grocers , tea , provision , and other dealers , to a great extent depending upon the working population for support . That , if such a plan was adopted , a sum mwht be rea-Used of whicb we at present can form no conception . Moreover , that such income will be little liable to fluctuations , and trill have the further merit of requiring nothing in return . Your early attention to what we consider an important subject , aud the adoption cf thn above , er some other better plan to secure the advantages proposed , will ever be gratefully remembered by your brethren iu association . Signed , on behalf of the Committee ,
The Central Committee Of The Above Impor...
The central committee of the above important and flourishing institution met en Monday and following days , for the transaction of-general business , T . S ; Duncome , Esq . M . P . in the chair . _. Correspondence of a very important nature hasbeen received from all parts of the kingdom . And tho following reports from members of the central committee and agents ofthe Association . _WowBHHAMrcw . —On Wednesday . evening , July _I-itli , Mr Humphries , of the central committee , attended a publio meeting of oabinet lock-smiths . Mr 11 . gave an animated lecture on tho principles and objects ofthe National Association . A vote ofthanksto tho speaker , for his , able address , was carried , and also to the chairman ofthe
meeting . The above trade have resolved to join the Association . Dudley —Mr Humphries attended a public meeting , at Dudley , on Thursday evening . Mr Massey , vice-maker , was called to the chair , who , having opened the business of the _meeting , called upon Mr _llumphries to explain the objects of thc National Association . An excellent Bpirit in favour ofthe Association was created , and all present seemed determined to become zealous members of tho same . A t the close ofthe meeting , tbe chairman proposed the health of the speaker , which was unanimously responded to . After which , the health of T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., aM . P ., was proposed , and responded to in musical honours .
Several questions were asked Mr 11 . relative to the Association , which being answered , the meeting broke up , evidently satisfied with the subject ofthe lecture . On Friday Mr Humphries proceeded bad : to _Willenball , for the purpose oi having an interview with ono of the employers of that town . Accordingly the interview was obtained , and the employer received . Mr Humphries and Mr Brodio ivith great courtesy and respect . Tho object of the interview was not fully realised , but Mr II . succeeded in showing that gentleman the protection the National Association is calculated to afford to honou-able employers .
After a meeting of about forty minutes , the employer promised to re-consider the case , which oalled fov the interference of arbitration on our part . And Mr llumphries withdrew . . . On the evening of the same day , Mr _Humphries attended a public meeting of locksmiths , in _Willen . hall . And the room was crowded to excess . Mr Prince was called to the chair , who introduced Mr 1 II ., who , on rising " , showed the practical workings of the National Association , and demonstrated the the superiority ofthe same , overall local combinations . At the close of which a manufacturer ofthe town rose—he said , not to ask pny question , but just to state why he attended that meeting , namely , -hy a written note , and to hear and judge for
himself 1 He should oiler no opposition as he agreed with ail the gentlemen had aaid , and could he be convinced that the National Association was better calculated to protect the interest ot the working men ol Willenhall , than their own local union , he should give it all the support in his power . But he should like to have a private interview with the lecturer . For he thought he ( Mr II . ) would be able to explain to him more fully , some pointsoonnected with the National Association ; and , perhaps he might show the speaker the workings of their body . Mr II . said he should bo glad to bave an interview with the gentleman , but it must be that eveninas he had to leave Willenhall early in tho
morng , ing , for tho potteries . But at the same time he should have preferred the gentleman to have asked nny question in that meeting , so that the pub he might have the benefit . And in reference to the National Association being of more servicoto the trader _, of Willenhall . was apparentfrom the fact that , if they joined the National Association , tbey wonld BtiU retain all their own local powers and influence ; and add to that the power and influence of the National Association . Mr II . exhorted everyone present if they would not join the National Association , they should join in a local union ; and whatever they did , be firm and united together . A vote of thanks was proposed to Mr II ., and a forest of hands were held up in favour of thc National
Association . The men of Willenhall have taken a step in tho right direction . We say , go on ; and yourselves and children will reap the reward of your exertions .

stone to put chase those goods manufactured by the men on strike , who wonld otherwise have been paid _a-i under the old system , to walk albout tbc Streets in idleness . Mr R . advised the members of the different trades to meet at their respective rooms , to 'lineuss the necessity of uniting themselves with the National _Assn' _- 'fifion of United Trades for the Protection oi Industry , An excellent spirit prevailed throughout the meet * ing , and we iiave no doubt but that the foundation ia laid for the formation of a strong body of unionists ia the old boroimh ot Maidstone . ... ...
Mr J . W . Parker reported that he had , aeeording to the instructions received from the central committee waited upon Mr Royie , silk _sroailware weaver of Middleton . to endeavour to obtain a penny , ' tbat had been deducted for weaving a certain article , making a difference ol abouttwo shillings per week per man _ in w .-ges ; on making known his _misaion , lie W 5- unit-red off the mill by Mr Royle , who declared he was nJnady paying a penny too much ; thus Mr P . was prevented from attempting to mediate The hands at this mill on subjected to petty tyranny , ina > much , if they are one minute too late , they are fined threepence each ; and the engine is _starteo three minutes before time , so tbat the dec of the mill Bhi-. ll be locked tlio instant the clock
strikes . lie had an interview with the block printers upon a question in reference to prices , but it was * matter with which the central committee could not interfere , it being local . He left them with the understanding that it should be referred to their own local union . On the same day he proceeded to Northwich , Cheshire , to pay the tailors on strike against a Mr Hartley , who is paying a Jess price Jhatt other master iailor » in tbe town . The rock getters and salt boilers , and other trades , took advantage of Mr Parker ' s visit , and a large meeting was held to hear an explanation ofthe principles ofthe National Association of United Trades ; he having dilated a * great length , the Chairman very ably expatiated upo _ tho views f ct forth by the lecturer , and urged th »
trades of Northwich to adopt ihem forthwith . Vote * of thanks were passed to the chairman and lecturer , and tho meeting dissolved . Since whicb , onehundred and eighteen salt getters have enrolled their names , and tho salt boilers have formed themselves into a society tor the purpose cf joining tho "United Trades . The meeting in question has created a great excitement in the salt trade ot Northwich , and they have invited Mr Parker to deliver another leitureand are anxious to have a depot opened for the sale of goods manufactured by the United Trades . MANCHES 1 ER , —On Saturday , thecentral committee having forwarded the money requisite to pay the hands on strike at Mr Smith's mill , Mr Farkec attended at tho _Postoffice , to net the orders cashed .
and to his surprise , on presenting them , was _tatld that no advice had arrived from London . This waB a very awkward situation to be placed in , as there were upwards of one hundred and thirty persons depending upon their weekly allows . Under these circumstances , he was obliged to r _ orfc to borrowing , and thanks to the kindness aud generosity of tue llev . — Schofield , W . P . Roberts , Esq ., and Mr White ofthe Railway Inn , he was enabled to pay all the hands . From t __ untoward circumstance some delay . in paying thent necessarily took place . The understrappers at tho mill were chuckling that they would have the hands in next week , as they said , "You see tbe great trades nnion has failed to send your money . " The wish , no doubt , was father to the thought , but they laid tha
flattering unction to their souls rather too soon . ' Thanks to thu timely assistance of the above patriotic * gentlemen , it was nut until Tuesday morning that the orders could bo eashed , although the _PoBt-offica _authsrities of Bloomsbury declare that the advios was sent off on the Friday previous . How is this i The Manchester Post-office is one of the worst conducted in tbe kingdom . An order can never be eashed without parties are kept waiting from two to three hours ; it is not the first time tbat such bungling has taken place as the non-arrival of the advice . During thc strike of tho tailors of Manchester ths winter bo _. ' ore last it repeatedly occurred , and it ft high time that somo inquiry took place . How is it that the advice in the above case , whicb ought to
have arrived on Saturday morning , did not arrive till tiie Tuesday following ? The people of Manchester should demand a reform of their mismanaged and unaccommodating Post-office . On Tuesday evening Mr Humphries attended a meeting of thc locksmiths at Wellinhall , for the pu _ pose of _explaining tbe objects of tbe Association * The roo ¦• • , capable of holding 300 people , was denselycrowded with working men , who were very anxious to know the character and mode of operation pursued by the members of the union . Mr Prince , of Wellinhall , an active member of the Association , and ona who has fallen a victim to the cupidity of his employer on account of the active part he has taken ia the association , was called to the chair . He briefly
alluded to thc object of the meeting , and begged a patient and attentive hearing to the agent sent down from London to advocate the principles oi * tits National Association . He should , therefore , withoni saying auy more call upon Mr Humphries , who ehserved that one great and primary object of ll «* Association waB to promote thc interest and « r , ! i _? . iico the welfare ofthe working classes , by __ _aMPci-iting them in ono extensive and mighty combination . He then showed that the Association was aa _careful ow the interests of honourable employers as of ttwir cvro members ; that tliey would protect the _nell-twin ; - ot ' upright masters equally with the men , and that whenever any dispute arose between any of their members and their respective employers , the Central Committee took a gentle and conciliatory coulee , and
instead nf widening the breach between them , they endeavoured to bring affairs _^ to an amicable and satisfactory termination , and in many instances had been very successful , and employer- * had expressed their admiration of the feature that characterised the movements of tho National Association . In other instances they had not been so successful , and , through the obstinacy of employers , had been forced to turn manufacturers themselves * . Mr Humphries then showed samples of goods whieh the men wereproducing , and strongly urged upon them the necessity of purchasing such things _frcm the National Association . An excellent spirit was created , and
the men of Wellinhall evinced a determination to assist the National Association , in becoming conBHmera of their goods . A great desire was manifested to have an agency established tbere for the sale of goods , as they have no doubt but it would be well supported . The lecturer was loudly cheered during his remarks , and at tho close a vote oi thanks given to him for his able addreBS . The meeting then quietly broke up . BACUP . —A public meeting was held at Bacup on tho 12 th inst ., whieh was addressed by M __ _a F . _Shackleton , W . Barker , H . Howarth , and W . Peel , agent of the National Association . The several speakers were loudly cheered throughout tbeir observations .
Thc following resolutions were unanimously agreed to :-That in the present depressed state of trade anything that would tend to increase tbe numbers of the unemployed would be highly prejudicial to the pubiic interests . That the demands of the Messrs Aitkin , if conceded by their hands , would have that tendency , and ought , therefore , to bo resisted . That the attempt of Messrs Aitkin , arbitrarily and cpercively , to deprivo their hands of the free _exeraii-e of their legal rights , is an unwarrantable _encroatbmest upon the freedom of Lnbour , which should be as dearly cherished by tho working classes as the freedom of trade is by their employers , The present attempt , therefore , oftbete gentlemen to dictate to tbeir bands what nnion tbey shall or shall not belon _** to , is as ridiculous at it ie absurd , and ought , therefore , to be resisted ,
This meeting , therefore , pledges itself to support the hands thus thrown out of employment as long as they , by a peaceful course of conduct , need and deserve it .
