The resolution having beau seconded by Mr. Janes
Sw
Mr. SPEED
PEED asked whether all the members of a club
would be required to go at ones ?
Mr. PUNT repli.d certainly not; for to do so would be
sett( mely inconvenient. Many clubs were attached to mills,'
all the workmen of which were enrolled. Now, for them
all to go together would be the means of stopping the mill,
and injure both muter and workpeople. The present year
would be a very spending year in this country, not oily
is the money absolutely spent by the workieg classes
in 'babas L.oadon, bit also by the loss of labour owls'
to the holidays mode for visiting the Exhibition. This
stoppage of labour, on the one band, and absolute
expenditure on the other, would he very extra•
steely felt, both at the time and hereafter ; and if the
and workshops were closed by the whole of the adults ,
going off together, the children and young persons, whose'
employment was dependant upon the minion of the
mills, would be thrown into great distress. This, however
might be avoided by the workpeople in mills, factories,
and workshops dividing themselves into convenient sections
for the purpose of going to London. (Applause.)
The resolution having bees carried uathimously,
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the working claims
upon having thrown off their apathy in respect to the Exhi-
bition, and mid he felt pleasure in witnessing the growing
excitement attaching to it. Depend upon it, u the time
approached they would all be anxious to go, sod these who
had not made provision would be exceedingly mortified and
azeneyed. (Hear, hear.) The }latently' Committee were
=WSW to do their duty to the working elas=m, and he
heed working men would do their duty to themselves by
immediately forming artisans visiting club. (Applause.)
Thanks having been voted to the chairman, nu meeting
broke up about ten o'clock.
