the men in the employment of the firms who had
promised the advance should go back to their work
without delay, Resolutions whereby the men pledged
themselves to remain out on strike until the increase
is conceded by all the employers, and also to pay the
levies imposed by the committee, were carried unani-
mously.
On Tuesday afternoon a largely-attended meeting of
the small chainmakers of Cradley and Cradley Heath
district, now on strike for an advance in their wages,
was held at the Manchester Inn, Your Ways, Cradley
Heath. Mr. N. Forrest, who stated that, according to
the wish of the meeting held on Monday, he had waited
upon several of the masters, and amongst them one who
was reported to have promised the advanced list and
aLerwards refused to pay it It was explained that the
particular class of wirk with reerence to which a mis-
auderstanding had arisen with regard to the prices was
the most common chain made, and that the masters
could not afford to pay for it according to the 4s list
He (the Chairman) had ascertained that other mastets
in the district paid for that particular class of chain at
a;lower rate. He thought the fact of these misunder-
standings so continually arising pointed to the necessity
for a revision of the lists, and it would be desirable to
do it as early as possible. (Hear, hear.) Two or three
other masters had signified their lie ition of giving the
advanced prices. It was stated that one of the masters
was offering to send half-inch chain to London at 11.
p:r cwt., less 2i per cmt. fer cash.- He (the Chairman)
did not know how they could do it, as it was very much
below the $s list. He had made inquiry also respecting
the difficulty which arisen between Messrs. Hingley and
Song and their workmen relative to the prices to be paid
by that firm according to the 4s list. He regarded it as
a very serious difficulty, inasmuch as several other
masters who had given out work at the chain price
refused to give out any more, on account of Messrs.
Flingky and Sons' men having taken out the best chain
at the 4s list. No doabt if the matter could be
thoroughly explained to Messrs. Hingley the difficulty
would soon be overcome. It app3ar.d that Messrs.
Elingley and Sons bought the common, best, and special
chain, and according to the st..tement of the workmen
their best seemed to be similar to what at other places'
was called extra. The Chairman , pointed out that the
danger was that Vie other mast( s would insist that
afessrs. Hingley's best chain was exactly the same as
their best chain, and it was clear that most of the other
emeloy, :a were paying the 43 list befere the strike for
their best chain, while Messrs. Hingley were only pay-
ing ha 6d for their best and 4s for their special. Their
workmen had agreed, however, to abide by the decision
of the meeting, and cease work, if required, when their
orders were worked out. There was also another mat-
ter which needed rectification. Messrs. Hingley were
making chain a little longer in the link, called " dip "
chain, and they were in the habit of deducting a certain
percentage for this kind of chain, which the other
masters did not. He (the chairman) did not believe Mr.
Hingley would desire to give his men less for their Work
than other employers, and he should recommend the
men employed by that firm to wait upon the masters
upon the subject.—A. workman urged that the men em-
ployed by Messrs. Hingley should cease work until they
paid the same price as the other firms. (Hear, hear.)—
The Chairman said that the difficulty evidently origin-
ated in the difference of the names—some called it best,
and others called it extra chain.—After further dis-
cussion it was decided to call a meeting of the best
chainmakers, and arrange for a deputation to wait upon
Messrs. Hingley and. Sons, with a view to the rectifica-
tion of the prices.
On Wednaraday evening, a meeting of the small chain-
meors employed by Messrs. Noah Hingley and Sons,
(PrimroA Hill, Netherton) was held at the Victoria Inn,
Dudley Wood, to consider the difficulty which has arisen
in consequen, a of Messrs. ilingley having paid their
men lower than the list price for best chain. Mr. N.
Forrest took the chair, and explained that while Messrs.
dingley had and were still paying the 43 list for com-
mon chain, they had not increased the price of best
chain equal to other employers. He pointed out the
inquiry it was likely to infl.ct upon the trade if the mat-
ter was not satisfactorily arranged. He (the Chairman)
also recommended the men to go and see their em-
ployers on the subject. This suggestion was adopted,
and it was also resolved that if Messrs. Hingley refused
to give the advanced prices equal to those given by the
other masters, their men would cease to take out any
more best chain until the increase was granted.
On Wednesday morning a largely attended meeting of
the men was held at the Manchester Inn, Four Ways,
Cradley Heath. Mr. N. Forrest presided, and reported
that he had waited upon Messrs. Samuel Coley and
William Bannister, Newtown, and Felix Coley, Dudley
Wood (employers), all of whom had promised to pay
their men according to the advanced list. It was under-
stood that the men employed by these firms would re-
turn to work at once. The usual resolutions, pledging
themselves to remain out on strike until they obtained
the full list prices from all the masters, were uaanis
mously adopted.
