LARGE MEETING OF IRONWORKER!.)
AT BRIERLEY HILL.
On Saturday night last, a very influential and
numerously attended meeting of rollers, furnace
men, and mill men was held at Brierley Hill, Mr.
Plant's large Concert Hall being well filled, and
every work, but one, in the district was repte.-
tented. Mr. Cooper was called to the chair, and
the proceedings were a most unanimous and
orderly character.
Several thoroughly practical speeches were
made in which the speakers endeavoured to show
the injustice and hardship of the proposed ad-
vance of 5 per cent., while the paddlers were
receiving an advance of Is per ton. One and all
advocated a determined course of action on the
part of the men to withstand this, and to require
. the full advance of 10 per cent. The following
resolution was enthir iiistically carried, withoui.
one dissentient vote, the men present pledgite:
themselves to abide thereby:—" That this meet-
ing being ilissataified with the decision arrived
at by the ironinaster3 at their meeting it Bir-

are met, we shall hereby give 14 days' notice

as agreed that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to each of the firms represented at
the meeting.
