&OHDOIT . PtTBLIC MEETING OP FOREMEN IN THE
THRJEE LEADING BUILDING BRANCHES . A meeting ni beld , on Monday evening , November l * t , &t she Hoi * is the W « U , Heefc-streefc , io consider the propritty of forming s > aijottfoat . nwtial protection . Tb « meeting -wm called by drerfci « ementB in the Adver Hxtr and WeeVg Dispatch , stating thtttnonn bit foremen © rer fif teen t ""* i were invited to attend . Mr . Lock wu called to the chair , and hrifcflv addrested them . M r . Cajisos had taken upon himself the responsibility < & calfeg this meeting . He bettered ths object vis a goed one , especially when they took into consideration the peculiar drcamstaaces o { tho strike at the House of Lanl £ —that of the whole of the men combining to injure the foreman . He would not enter into the case of Gei-Tg = Allen j bat foremen had a duty to perform ; ana they were &t times obliged to adopt stringent measeivs : &sd he had always obserred that it mi the
Sioit -worthless part of the men employed who made Che m -. it uoise , aid were loudest in their outcry , against fbc 3 c u ^ tisaa ry measures . Foremen were pieced in an awfcvrai . 1 position ; they had to carry out the works with a profit to their employers , and wen compelled to Be strict ; bat if conduct like that of the ' men to Allen were to be submitted to—if they were to be slloved to eorcbic-- to cmib one man . what would be the eonsAqnenc ? Why , the same spirit would spread through er ^ ry viJl . Hse , town , and city of the empire . This was tJTe ; iy the case ; many of Allen ' s men were now workiDf 'aoaer 3 foreman in their establishment , and he had already frft their insolence . Hb was almost afraid to spetik to them ; they would neitiwr work , nor let others work . He had toid him that his little boy would earn raore moneys—( name )—he did not feeleompelled to girt i * _ He had already been told that he was a greater tyrant than Allan —( name . )
Kr . Fry , foreman of the masons—I feel that by taking the step I have dune , I ran the risk et losing the esteem and respect that for many years I hare enjoyed amongst the men ; bat I feel that I am doing Sty due / to myself and employers . The masters hare bo i ;? nt to bear the whvle of the expense and the burden of them strikes against foremen . If the example spread , masters might be necessitated to discharge many of them , and then a society like lhe . one he wished io establish would be able , at teaft , tented them employment : the good effects of it had been sees in fee C ;« k of the Works Society . Jorameo over large } ob » TngVn ¦ Tianit ' rTmjnTTriii tn be irritable . If Tbad
fceea is Alien ' * pUee , it is likely I might have acted ia a si-riDar manner ; and were they to be struck against in itis manner , without a cause ; to tare their names branded ; to be held up to detestation by those who were al ^ js the > least respectable portion of the menwho lived upon agitation—who lived upon the sub-• cripu . Hi of their fellow men—men who made a stir about privileges , because they could earn more by that ttita i'v t " j » ir work ? If they carried out their abject , he V » ald advise them to elect a committee to form a Tmc ' . eis . and to keep out disreputable characters , the reni&icl-- to fee elected by Ballot He would conclude by moving the following resolution : — .
" Tint it is the opinion of this meeting , after taking into consid-iration the Btrike at the House of Lords , and oraidsriDii the result which might happen to them as individuals ia a similar situation , that it is advisable to form a S . « ci * ty for mutual protection against similar pro ¦ OeedingB in future . " Mr . HaBTIEY . Mr- Thomas Jackson's , Pimlico , aeey-i-si the resolution . A pmrjn hera expressed a hope that they did not ne » r , t j interfere between the masters and men now on tele . Mr . Ca ? . sox sa : d they had no intention of doing so . The gsr-nr-ie . was thrown Joirn , and let them fight it out ; b'ii -iiea had Societies , mtsters had Societies , aEd he "wautfcd one for fcrcnien ; for if this spirit spread , it would be necessary .
II r . . I have a party of men from the House ¦ o ? Lords vforking for me . There is not one but what does bis duty . I bchsve w&H to them , and they to me . I nv--ke niy eye serve instead of my tongue . I have knoTn Allan for years , aod I know nothing against him bat bis temper . It is my opinioa if a foreman is just t- the men , they will be just to ths master . Mr . Co-. iswxti ,, * dr . CubiU ' 3 , saifl—I h&ye no objection to form a Soriety for our own protection ; but I eanr Tt "rote for the resolution . It defends ' the conduct of AL'ea . Tbe xnovtr of it says , that from all he had hear a ot - % d , Allen had sot committed himself more thas b ' - - hid . I cannot agree with this . I employ war . v & : the msn , aad hare full justice done me . It eo&id rot be supposed that these men struck against
Allen lor fun ; that they are enduring hardships and privation meroly for the excitement of a strike . I ¦ esnnct f ' to for tha resolution . Oar situations may not last for ever ; we may ourselves be placed in a Kimilai position , and be csmpelled to act as they have done . I -am acquainted with a foreman on the same job as Alten , ut the same place ; and I asked his candid Opinion oti the strike , He said there was no question w to their being perfectly justified in striking against tfrn ; they would never have done it if Allen bad con--dur . ta fcuuKlf as a man ought to do . ( " Name . " ) It voul'i : djutb him , aad he wc-uld not give it Allen ¦ did eo * -itserve ttie support of the meeting ; tbe masons bad s . 1 v ? j ; a scted respectfully to him , and if he did not sppr re of their conduct he should discharge and not Naektuaid them .
Mr . J . K . vt said he had no objection to forming a -society for mutual protection : it . was as necessary for their protection from the employers as from the men ; bat be arreed with lbs last speaker feat they should "keep jik ^ f from the strike . He was sure no one ia tbe toons fr- < T >! d justify the conduct of * AHen . If he bvi ¦ fifty bas-ls he wonld hold ibem up against the resolution £ 3 it was now worded . The name of Allen would be no credit to them . If the men were treated as men , they would do a fair day ' s work . A srroc ^ feeling , on the part of tbe majority , beliig ericeed h > . faveor of the masons on strike , two or three left tat room .
Mr . CaKIox was very willing to alter the resolution . Pert&ps it might be more advisable to put it off to tone fr . ' sir time . He had fallen int «" an error in wording it ; Lnt he was glad to be put right . It might seem that the meeting , at this particular time , intended to apport Mr . Allen ; but be begged to deny having any nch intention . He only wanted to form a Society for iheir mutual benefit He disclaimed the conduct attributed iv Q-eorge Allen from his heart ' s core . He would kick such a man ; it is a dreadful doom , though not iBors tian he deserved . He would withdraw the former Tesolction , and propose this : — " That , iu ^ Usa opinion of t&i » meeting , it is desirable io fcrra a Society of foremen in tae building trades , for ttut&u ' i protection . " Ur . D 3 . BELL seconded the resolution .
Mr . PUD 5 ET—They had a society five years ago for a similar purpose ; he wanted to know their ulterior views ; did they mean to build « lmshoases , or was it to be a . society of foremen to crush the working men ? He had le » n thirty-four yeara a foreman at Cortis ' s , and never used a man as Allen b&s dons . Mr . KiT—I highly praise the conduct of Mr . Carson is siuriaz his motion ; but owing to the excitement at p ^ escni ,-nisting , I shall propose as an amendment , that this " question be postponed to ^ his day three months ;" and 1 vreli know we shall then have a better attendance of forrri ! 6 n than we no * have . Public sympathy was so in f « our with the masons , that many foremen who might be favourable to it , would not attend this evening , as it locked suspicions whether the object was not to oppese the men on strike .
Mr . £ o £ B £ seconded the amendment ; he was not opposed to such a sodaty . Men who had been long employed as foremen did not make good journeymen ; but tiw pressnt was a very ill-advised time to commence it ; he hid twenty-f our of the masons on strike hi his emplc' 7 at the Temple Church , and they had done justice by him and to his employer ; the men could not all be wrong , and Alien ri ^ bt . The Ciiaibmas suggested that if some specific date Was not meauoaed , it would seem to be postponed tine dlt , an * suggested 31 st of January . Mr . Eat having agreed to this , the amendment was put and supported by thirty-seven votes ; the original motion only receiving four votes . Mr- X ewtos moved that the society be called a beneSt society , but it was negatived .
Mr . WaEELEa having undertaken to get it in-¦ erte > i ** news in the Dispatch , It was resolved that the resolution Ehould be advertised in the Morning Advent iter . Mr . KEWIOS moved that a committee of fire be appoint-d to carry ont tha object of the meeting , and call & public . meeting on fhe 31 st January . > It . Hat seconded the motion , which was unanimously carried , tied Un persons nominated , oat of whom Messrs . Ksy , Lx-k , Cornwell , Jenkins , and Camm vrere elected , and were allowed to add fear more-to tbeir number . The 7 i £ P 0 ST £ B from the Mondstg Advertmr having entered ths room , requested to add ess the meeting . This being acceded to , he in a zamblin ? manner showed them the claims the Advertiser had upon them for impport .
Mr . wheeler { Reporter for the Star ) replied to him in an elective ¦ m » TiT > t . T and also gave the gentlemen present Svme hard rubs respecting the meeting , © ontnniBg it with that held by the journeymen . Mr . Wheeler was greeted with much applause . The meeting then adjourned until the 31 st of January .

TO THE PEOPLE OP SCOTLAND , ENGLAND , AND IRELAND . Fkllow Chartists , —We , the undersigned Inhabitants of Aberdeen , being members of tbe " Aberdeen Charter Union , " regard it as a duty we no lew owe to Mr . OConiior than to ourselves , to state what we believe to be the effect of his visit to our northern city . This is the more necessary , in consequence of the dogmatical pertinacity of the Rev . Patrick Brewster and his few friends to cram the Calton Hill and Birmingham resolutions down the throats of the people .
First We regard the visit ef Mr . O'Connor to Aberdeen , and bis triumphal reception , as ona of the greatest triumphs the Chartist cause hai obtained in this part of the country , because Mr . O'Connor having long been adopted as the veritable friend and representative of the working classes , his enemies and the enemies of the sacred cause of liberty were leagued to go there , in order to stop , if possible , any popular demonstration in testimony of pur approval of bis conduct in the defence of our rights and the rights of mankind .
Secondly . Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Aberdeen has been sifnaliz ? d by a great accession cf numbers to the Chartist ciuse . Many of the middle classes , who were formerly prejudiced against Chartism , by the eloquent and powerful reasoning o ! Mr . O'Connor , hnve had their prejudices completely removed . Many who were callous and indiffcrtnt to the onward march of freedom , have had their energies accelerated , and an impression has bt * n generated in the public mind in favour of the Charter which will never be eradicated .

" Mr . Harney returned thanks , not only for the kind vote of confidence the meeting had been pleased 16 pass , but also for the unexpected honour they had conferred in agreeing to the resolution just adopted : he ehould obey their call , having the confidence of the men of Dowsbury , who had eo nobly stood by him at the late election ; he felt assured that he had the confidence of the
Chartists of Yorkshire generally . If elected to the Convention , he pledged himself fearlessly and efficiently to perform the duties of the post Assigned to him . It was a post of danger * s well as honour ; but as he had stood by the people in the trying times of 1839 , he would be ready to stand by them in 1842 . He had now the benefit of experience ; but that experience had not curbed his zeal in the cause . If not elected , he should rejoice that Yorkshire had found far abler men than himself , but though abler paightiwdJjpould be found , to none would he yield in a < piere love of his country , and a desire to achioveTier political salvation . Mr . Harney moved the thanka of the meeting to the Chairman , which having been awarded aud acknowledged , the meeting dissolved .

BIRMINGHAM . PUBLIC MEETING OF TRADES' DELE
GATE 3 AND OTHERS . STRIKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OP PARLIAMENT . An important meeting of delegates from the various trades in Birmingham , and other parties favourable to the strike of the London Stonemasons , was held at the Grand Turk , Bell-street , on Wednesday evening last . At half-past eight the business commenced . . Mr . John Robdik , Btonemason , was unanimously called to the chair . He addressed the meeting iu the following terms : —Gentlemen and Fellow-workmen , it is with great diffidence I take the chair on this important occasion , particularly as 1 am not in the
habit of addressing publio meetings . I have no doubt that my labours will be light , and that each speaker will obtain a fair aud impartial hearing . I will not trespass iurther on your time , but call upon Mr . John Gray to address you on the facts connected with the Btrike of the London masons . Mr . Gray commenced his address by reading a circular , a copy of which bad been sent to the various trades > n Birmingham , and which set forth some of the leading reasons why the London stonemasons struck against the tyrannical conduct of Allen , the tyrannical tool of Messrs . Grissell and PetoY the contractors for building the new Houses of Parliament , lie then Baid he bad no doubt but most of the
persons present had heard tell of the strike of the stonemasons at the new Houses of Parliament ; but as they all might not be aware of tbe facts connected with it , he would endeavour to explain them . He would commence by describing the conduct of the foreman , whose inhuman tyranny the men felt bound to resist . One of their shopmates received intelligence from Manchester of the death of his mother ; he informed Mr . Alien of his wish to go and see her interred , and wished to have a week or fortnight's leave of absence . AUen informed him that if such was the ca e , he might stop away altogether , as he would not keep a job open for any man that length of time . Another of the men had the
misfortune to break his leg , by a fall from a scaffold ; and on his return to work , thought , of course , that no objection would be offered , as he had been lamed in the service of his employers . Allen immediately discharged him , Baying that he wanted no such damned hobbling fellows there . The same foreman had told another of the workmen who had been at home ill for Borne time , aud whose wife was also iu the same condition at the time , that he did not want men there of his description . Another of the men had been called from his work to attend the death-bed of his wife , and when he returned , he was told by this monster to go back and die with her and be damned . Another , who had been a Ions
time out of employ , and had been so pinched in consequence , happened to fall sick and staid at home three days ; whonhe returned , Allen told him he wanted no such men as him—he must have sound men . Those were tbe chief reasons why they had determined to strike against him . The men employed at Woolwich Dock and Nelson ' s Monument , had struck for the same reason . Mr . Grissell had promised a deputation , that if the charges brought against Allen were true ho would discharge him ; and whea another deputation watted on him , he denied having said so , and told them that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to speak to them . He Would leave the meeting to judge whether such conduct
ought to be tolerated by the trades of London and Birmingham . ( No , no . ) He would now retire , havin ^ stated the essential points of the case , Mr . Gray then resumed his seat amid general applause . Mr . Peter Bishop , saddler , next addressed the meeting . He said , although he was not connected with the BtonemasoBs , yet he sympathised with them and would yield them all the assistance in his power . From what he could gather from the Northern Star , he understood that Allen had formerly benn connected with the Trades' Union , had been very efficient , and acted his part well , and that he bad been woll backed by the stonemasons for so doing . His efficiency in this respect , no doubt , marked him out as a pr ' izoable object to the masters , he
for a ^ knew so well how trade affairs were conducted , he would be the better enabled to practice tyranny ou his fellow workmen . He considered the stonemasons perfectly justified in the steps which they had taken , and would endeavour to induce his fellow-workmen to assist them , especially as he considered theirs to be a strike on principle , and not for an advancement of wages , for he had long seen through the iautihty of striking for wages . The working men produced all the wealth in the country , and ought at least to have a good living , and be treated as men . It was now quite dear that no one trade could sustain itself against the inroads of their masters . The men who earned thirty
shillings per week ought to unite with those who had fifteen , and then they would be enabled to effect something . It was that which caused him to admire the character of O'Connor , who often told them the folly of the man who earned 30 a . holding himself aloof ( rota , and looking down on , the man who only got Uu it was that feeling which made the masters take advantage of the men . Ho had himself been offered situations over other men / but would never accept of them , for he knew that had he done so , he would be expected to act the part of a tyrant towards them . He had no wish to introduce party politics , but from the manner in which Mr . O'Connor had acted towards the working men , he thought him worthy Of their esteem . He saw sufficient in
the Star to convince him of Allen ' s infamy , and thought hangiog too good for such conduct . He was sorry that the stonemasons' trade was such as would preclude the possibility of their setting hp trade for themselves , for on all strikes , no matter if they had ten thousand pounds of a fund to begin with , the masters knew that it would be exhausted at some time . He should like to see thingB so managed , and such unity existing amongst the working men , that they should turn out one day and sat up for themselves the next . He looked upon the system of ** , chasing " , made use of by some of the masons as an abominable system , for it was quite clear that
there would always be some men more able than other ? . Having said so much , hb would repeat oil determination to do all in his power to forward tbeir interests , and would leave it to others to throw mote light on tbe natter . He wished to know from the masons which plan they had adopted to carry their Foint , Mr . Thouas Seabubit , stonemason , said that they allowed the men ten shillings a-weefc , and were under very neavy expencea besides . But they hoped to gain sufficient assistance from the other trades , which was the reason why thay had called the present meeting .
Mr . THowrso . v , carpenter , w ' shed to know whether they had a Hat of tho trades to whom circulars were senti . ' . ' -. '¦ .- ¦ ¦ .- ¦¦ - . ¦ ... ¦; Mr Wm Slanet , secretary to the stonemasons , then read a list of the trades which bad been sup-A

plied , amongst whom were the following : —Carpenters , Bricklayers , Braziers , Engineers , Mechanics , Button Burnishers , Curriers , Brush Makers Tinplate Workers , and Tailors . Mr . WM . TBftTH 0 RM « , tinplate worker , wished to know whether they intended to form a committee of the trades . His trade would assist , bat wished to understand the real grievance ; he thought . that all th « trades had not received circulars . It was then suggested that each delegate present shenld ? peak as their trade stood oa the list , and that they should form themselves into a committee , and appoint a secretary . Mr . Johh Williams , delegate from the Tailors ' Society , though * it would be folly to do so in the present stage of the business . He hoped they had all come there to act fairly and honestly ; and , as whatever was transacted would have to bo read over on the next night of meeting , he thought that one of the stonemason ' s body should be appointed .
The Delegate from the Engineers agreed in the sentiments of Mr . Williams . Mr . Henbt Beck was then unanimously appointed secretary for the evening . Mr . Gosling , silver plate worker , rose and said he considered that the present strike was not only interesting to the master stonemasons , but also to tbe masters in other trades , for it was the principle involved in the present strike , which was ( t ie grand object , and if Messrs . Grissell and Peto succeeded in compelling the men to submit to such treatment , it would ba a heavy blow to the working men throughout tho country . He hoped it would not be
determined that the names of all the delegates from the other trades who were present shiuid be published . He knew several there in the room it would be calculated to injure—they might also have ' persons in that room iu favour of the masters . He did not know how it was in other towus , but such was the case in Birmingham . Ho therefore thought they had better not call over names , but merely mention the trade . He did not mind anything about it himself , but thought they should get a larger number to attend and support them by so doing . Tbe SkCRETART then eommenced calling over the names of the trades . :
A Delegate from the 1 st society of carpenters , stated that their trade had not time to call a meeting . _ He wa ^ jaot , therefore , officially appointed , but they intended to oall one , and would give the masons their support . . ¦ . >„ . ¦'¦ . A Delicate from the 2 nd society of carpenters stated that their body were enthusiastic in the cause , and would give their cordial support . Two Delegates from i > he tailors' society stated that their body considered the present strike not one for money but for principle . They never felt more warmly on a subject than the present . They had empowered them to act at that meeting on behalf of the body , and would respond to their call . They had formerly had occasion to complain of the apathy
of other trades towards them at the time of their strike in London ; they would , however , forget the past , as they considered that if the tyrants succeeded in this , it would be the signal for others . A Delegate from the Engineers stated that they had received the circular late , and had not time to call their body together , but their committee had deputed him to attend and get what information he could in this matter . Their rules did not allow a fund for strikes , therefore whatever they did would be voluntary . He wished to ask a few questions before he eat down . Was Allen a member of the mason ' s body ! No . Were any of their members at present in the employ of Grissell and Peto 1 One . He wished to know what steps they intended to take
towards those who had turned in ; for if they were to be looked upon as being as good as other * after this affair was over , he thought it would be wrong ; l&rit was not the masters who had done them so much injury as the unprincipled men who went to work for them under such circumstances ; he thought that proper steps should be taken to induce men uot to go to London . The Secretary replied that the only method they took to get them out , was . to pay their expeuces back to the places they had loft , if they choose to accept it . They had also placarded the towus where men were likely to be engaged . They had a ' so employed delegates to follow Grissell aud Peto ' s agents , and when they had engaged men , endeavour to disengage them .
A Delegate from the mechanics said that he had been sent from that trade to inquire into the matter . They had no fund for supporting a strike , but would do what they could by voluntary contribution . His trade was very warm in the matter , and would assist them . - - ¦¦ ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦; ¦ : . . - . . ' ¦ A Deleoatb from the Labourers' Society said they had received a circular , but there were very few present at the time . They were going to call a meeting , when he had no doubt they would come to a satisfactory conclusion . A Dkllgatk from the Saddlers' Society stated that they would have a meeting on the following Tuesday , when he had no doubt they would give their assistance . A Delegate from the bricklayers stated that they held a meeting every week , and would do what lay in their power .
A Dslegatk from the braziers said he was desired to inform them that they should have their 6 npporr . They considered it to be a strike on principle . He thought it a proof that the masons hud some moral feeling about them , by not allowing themselves to be trampled on . They would receive the support of his trade for that reason . A Delegate from the silver-plate workers stated that he had no doubt this would be made a national case . He was very sorry to find the press so much opposed to them . Delegate meetings like the present are very useful , as they prove to the gentlemen of the bo called Liberal press , that they would not be tolerated in . blinking those questions where morality and justice were at stake . He then
animadverted on the unprincipled conduct of the Weekly Dispatch , and said that the present meeting would 6 how to those gentry that if justice was not done to the working uiou they had sufficient intellect and determination to set up a press for themselves . ( Loud cheers . ) He then descanted on the conduct of the press generally towards the working classes and showed their effect on those who trusted to their lyiug statements , aud concluded by advising the working men to withdraw their support from all papers that did not fairly represent them . Mr . Geobgk Whits then addressed the meeting . He considered as he had had a good deal of experience in trades' unions and strikes , that a word or two from him would not be thought amiss . He was
not a believer in the doctrine so sedulously disseminated in trade societies , that they should exclude politics . He had seen a vast number of strikes and struggles between the masters aud men of various trades ; but he found the rpower and influence of capital , assisted by a corrupt Government , always sufficed to turn the scale against the working meu . It was true that the workmen sometimes succeeded ; but as soon as the difficulty was over , they became apathetio , and in due time the employers pounced on them like a tiger , and completed their design . This meeting ought to be a lesson to the working classes , for as soon as one trade found its utter incapability to defend itself from the tyranny of employers they uniformly
appealed for assistance to their fellow-workmen ; thus showing their true interests ; they found nobody else to assist them ; why then did they support and assist those parties whowoald not help them in their time of need ! It was quite clear to every thinking man that the working classes would always be tyrannised over and tantalised by such men as Grissell , Peto , and others , until they got a voice in making laws which would proieot them , and put a curb ou the insolence of such arrogant scoundrels . One part of the charge against Grissell— -and a tough grissel he thought he was—( laughter)—was , that he had lowered his dignity by condescending to talk te the men who had raised him to such dignity . -The brute . Did he never reflect that working nen
had feelings of respect for themselves , sufficient to compel them te resent Buch outrageous insolence ! He again repeated that nothing short of political equality could protect them from all the insulting taunts and oppressions of those who were allowed to ruleoyer them . The working men themselves were to blame , for they had abundant means to remedy it . If a union of a few trades was good , what would not a union of the whole body of the working classes accomplish ! Let them therefore scout the doctrine of oou-lnterfereuoe in politios ; for did they not find politics interfering with them every moment of their lives ! This strike of the stonemasons was truly emblematical of the state of the nation . Every
one knew that the members of the present Houses of Parliament were a common nuisance , and the greatest curte the nation could endure ; and it was a tine prospect for the people when they heard that every stono of the new Houses was hewn and laid amidst the sighs , groans , and curses of the oppressed and insulted workmen . He would , nevertheless , give his most cordial assistance to the masons now on strike , and hoped that every man present would do the same , whether he was a delegate or not . He then suggested various plans whioh ehould be adopted by the meeting ; and concluded amidst loud cheers . Mr . Bishop then
moved"Thatan the delegates present hand ia their names , and be considered a part of the Committee . " The motion was agreed to . A large ntoberof deleg | tosjh « n fa ? e in their names , together with the trade they represented . Mr . John Wixjuams , ititor : aid he ^ thonghtthei ought to come to a resolatfea ou the conduct i , i Gnsfieil and Peto , and their miserable tool Allen . He would , therefore , propose the following ^ - v Resolred , "Thatin the opinion ^© f this waiting the conduct © f Mesnra . Grisselt and Peto iaJncoiS siBtent with the character of upright men , by denying to one deputation the statement wiiich ttey had made to a paevious one , and also foi the insulUna statement of Mr .

" - < - _ . .- ^ j Mr . P . Thompson seconded the resolution . The Delegate from the Engineers suggested « t addition to the resolution , which was afterwa iS adopted and embodied in it . : ^ 1 Mr . . Gbay then addressed the meeting . iL stated that the Weekly Dispatch had misrepresent the masonswith regard to the system of " chasing ? The manner in which it was done was as follows v Allan picked out a strong man , and encouraged u » to do a vast deal of work , permitting him to tan
it ott in a rougn state . The Dupalch eomphual that the Mason ' s Society had not done right s fining him for . doing more work ti& others ; they had not fined him for " chasing , " iS because he . had turned his stone off in a rough staE and had not placed his mark on it . It was quui clear that all men could not work alike , but AllS told them that they Bbonld all do as much as tha man . The strike was not as some of the papers hit represented it , for if the men had left work on then own responsibility , they would receive no support ' they were ordered to strike by the trade , after ik ' caufe had been fairly represented . Grissell and Pett were at the present time employing butoheat shoemakers , and others , merely to keep ud an a&
pearance , in order to hoodwink the Commissionea of Woods and Forests . A Member of Pariiamwa had also mado himself very busy endeavouring U procure men to work for them ; but the main bodj of those he sent knew nothing about the trad& From the spirit , he had seen displayed * h » had si doubt . they would Biiooeed . They had upwards tf 5 , 000 members connected with them , which , added ti the support of the other trades , which was « handsomely promised , he had no doubt of nlu ' mali success . Allen had on a former occasion come ti Birmingham , and boasted that he would break m tbeir Society in that hod-bed of Unions ; but U » had shewn him they would not be put down byau a fellow . . ¦;¦ ^ T-
Mr . Peter Bishop said he had intended to brnt forward ( a resolution with regard tp the press . 5 had &nae knowledge of the workings of their ahiut friends , and knew the necessity and importance if having an honest newspaper to represent toe * He had lost all that he could lose on the M ' uUai Representative ^ and had since closely observed th conduct of those who pretended to be friends of tbt people , and found out that the best way of iestiiv them was by taking notice of their behaviour is small things which they might tnink wool ! pass unnoticed . They ought to feel thankful to the Northern Star for sending a reporter to their meet , ing . Where was their boasted liberal press of
Birmingham ? Why had they not sent a reporter ! Hj hoped the working men would think for themselvei , and not be gulled by pretended friends . When would the cause of the people be were it not for tin Northern Star ? Where would they have been tint evening were it not for Mr . White , who had i& dqAd them such efficient assistance ! He thought thepna ^ n ' s strike would be burked were it notfor tbe 5 / ar / kod therefore thought the proprietor of H entitled to their thanks . Mr . John Bamfokd said the previous speaker should not be content to leave the question withott
coming to a resolution on it . He admired thecoa duct of the Star , for the long reports they had inserted on behalf of the mason *; he , therefore moved , i , M That the thanks of the meeting be given to tin Proprietor and Editor of the Northern Star , for giv ing such good reports of the masons' proceeding , " Mr . Bishop seconded the resolution . It was afterwards stated that the readers of the Dispatch and other papers might take umbrage it the resolution .
Mr . Bishop said they might obviate that by pas * sing a vote of thanks to Mr . White . After a long discussion , it was agreed that the resolution ehould pass by adding Mr . White ' s nuu : oit . It was then put aud unanimously agreed t& The Deleqatb from the bngmeers , thea asked , whether it was true that the masons demanded * uniform rate of wages t as he considered that would be an encouragement to sluggards . ¦ The Secretary answered ihv . they made no suh conditions . If a man went to work for less , it wm his own choice , if he thought he w , as not worth eo nmph as others ; but if he refused to work ioiim than others , and the society thought him worthy tbe same amount , they would justify him in his refaal Mr . Ryland made some remarks to the stuns effect .
The Delegate from the engineers then moved , M That the answers given to the questions pot to the stonemasons are highly satisfactory . We therefore deem them worthy the support of tka country . " Mr . Weirdon seconded the resolution . - TheCHAinuAN then put it , and it was earW unanimously . .. . On the motion of Mr . Bishop the meeting w « adjourned to Wednesday next , at eight o ' clock .
