trace, as in other trades, who could work quicker
than others, and earn more, but some were very
low.

The chairman pointed out that female and
juvenile labour helped to pull wages down, and e
spoke strongly of the slavery to which women in
the district were exposed. They had Government
inspectors to see that the law was not infringed,
and that women and children should work so long,
but he was told they never saw him. Females got
up at four in the morning to work, and he had
seen them at work at eight and nine at night.
The Chairman advised the young women not to
accept the suit of any man who wanted them to
work in the chain and nail shop.
Mr. Henry Price moved, "That the chain and
nail makers here assembled express their extreme
dissatisfaction at the almost entire absence from
this neighbourhood of the Government workshops
inspector, on account of the flagrant breaches of
the law so frequently taking place among a portion
of the chain trade." This was seconded and
carried.

Resolutions were also carried disapproving of the
conduct of the chainmakers who still continued at
work, and inviting them to join those out in at-
tempting to better their condition, and expressing
the determination of those present at the meeting
to stand out till masters conceded the advance
asked for.
