THE WAGES QUESTION IN NORTH AND EAST
LANCANHIRE.—Meetings in different parts of East and
North Lancashire are being held by the factory operatives
to protest against the proposed reduction of 5 per cent.
in their wages, and all the resolutions parsed are in favour
of short time rather than redneed remuneration. The Pres-
ton branch of the North of England Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Twisb•rs and Drawers have just passed a resolution in
favour of working four days a week, instead of submitting to
a reduction of 5 pet cent. To-morrow (Sunday), a meeting
of the executive of the general body will be held at Bolton
to consider the question. To-slay, • circular will be sent to
the masters of Preston connected with the branches named,
requesting thou to adopt short time rather than a curtail-
ment of wages. On Thunalay evening general meetings
of the weavers, spinners, and minders of Preston were
held to oppose the proposed reduction. At the weavers'
meeting, which was crowded—indeed the room was so
filled, that huge numbers who came were unable to gain
admittance Dlr. Edinundson, the secretary of the
Weavers Association, said the operatives of North and
East Lancashire had decided to work short time rather than
have less wages ; that the market was overstocked, and
that, if married women were taken out of the mills, the
operatives would realise a great social and domestic benefit,
whilst much of the overplus labour would be reduced in
the mills. He afterwards moved—" That this meeting is
of opinion that the only way to improve the position of the
employers and employed is to curtail the hours of labour."
The motion was carried unanimously, amid cheers and cries
of "three days • week before less money." It was subse-
quently resolved that deputations should wait upon each
of the employers, urging a reduction of the hours of labour,
and that they should report the result of the interviews to
a general meeting early nest week. The operatives who
spoke at this stage of the meeting handled various ques-
tions. One recommended • revival of the emigration
movement ; another add that the profits of the manufac-
turers and cotton merchants were enormous; a third said
that the drapers who dealt in cottons, 1;.c., ought to have
their exorbitant prices reduced ; and a fourth accused
manufacturers of dishonesty in the sale of their cotton
cloth. He said that all aorta of rubbish in the shape of
dieing was put into cotton to make it weigh heavier, and
that the manufacturers were by this system robbing the
eo-umunity. Two or three operatives supported ha state-
ment, and the goner d meeting confirmed by cheers the
truth of it. At the meeting of the spinners referred to,
strong protests against the proposed reduction were made.
