THE NORTH OF 'NOLAND CARPL7 WRAVERR.—
On Saturday last the annual meeting of delegates of this '
wisociation was held at Heckmondwike, near Leeds.
Brveral ituportant questions affecting the trade —such as
an increase of wages, the ten hours movement, the
number of apprentices to be allowed, &c.—were brought
forward and discussed. The delegates represented the
operatives of Dui barn, Leeds, Dewsbury, Halifax, Heck-
ncondwike, mad other towns. Soothed was not directly
represented this year,al it was last, but frequent allusions
were made to the resolutions come to at the late
meeting, when Scotch delegates were present. It
was ptopesett to ask the master* for an advance
upon all classes of fabrics in the trade of
ten per cent., and whilst this was being die-
cured, frequent reference was made to the state of
trade daring the past year in Yorkshire and Durham. It
mtpearel that, on the whole, trade has been generally ac-
KM, although there has been no brisk demand for goods.
Thu haavy tariff imposed by the United States was stated I
to have been agrees detwbwk to trade. Heavy fabrics, it I
was said, were most affected by this tariff. On the pro-
qi
icei that an increase of wages should be asked for, • 1
by discussion took pima% On the one hand it was
witiler the wages of carpet-weavers came considerably
below those of teller brandies of the manufacturing trade,
and that though an increase had of late been con-
ceded by the masters, there had been such a rise
in the prices of provisions and other necessaries as
to nullify the benefit. The average wage of the
carpet-weaver was 17a. weekly. It was contended that, in
• peiuniary point of view, it would make little or no dif-
ference to manufacturers if an advance was conceded,
seeing that the goods produced were more and more ap-
predated by the public, and were articles upon which a few
pence extra were not felt. The great increase in trade
whidm is shortly expected to take place with France was
also adverted to as an important argument in favour of
the propriety of making a request for an advance. They
did not ask for pity from the employers, but justice. Con-
siderable opposition, on the other band, was offered to this
movement for an advance, on the ground that trade
was depressed, and that only • short time had elapsed
Dian au adv race was conceded. Oa the whole, although
it was adn.itted on all sides that the wages of the weavers
were much too low, the present was oonaidered inoppor-
tune for making application for an increase. A resolu-
tion confirming these latter views was ultimately paned.
In consi lering the ten lours movement, many of the dele-
gates spoke in high terms of the greathoon which had been
conferred upon those operatives whose employers had
adopted the system during the past year. Both masters
and men, who were somewhat opposed to its adoption at
first, now recognise the benefit. Irregular hours were con-
sidered the cause of many social evils, especially
of drunkenness and idleness. It was argued that if
• system of working from 6 a.m, to 6 p.m. wan in.
sista upon throughout the trade, it would be highly bene-
ficial, and it was resolved to ask the employers to make it
an absolute role. Before the meeting broke up it was
Agreed to ask for a farthing per yard upon fine and coarse
cournou carpets, with weight, attached ; for • halfpenny
per yard upon two-ooril supers ; and for • penny pee yard
upon tires-cord super Scotch. It was also resolves], "that
all change from common to common, and from medium to
audios', be paid for as from super to medium."
