the part of many great employers of labour to coerce
workmen into their terms, aml deny to them ths saw
mon right, enjoyed by all other classes, of havingsoms
influence in regulating the value of their &ill rd
time—therefore the adoption of a common wE

learn that the employers in the file trade of Sheffield, after
having locked out the men, numbering nearly 4,000, for
ten weeks, have decided to continue the lock out for foss
weeks longer, regardless of the destitution and wet this
caused among a population of at least 10,000. Therdamg
we resolve to use every effort in our power to forvand
weekly subscriptions to the suffering people in WAWA
during the period of this lock out."
