The CHAIRMAN,'in opening the proceedings
the present position of the shipbuilders with refe
men, in consequence of the abolition of the liti
dinner, on the 18thof October, and of overtime,:
demanded an advance of wages from six s . '
shillings per day, which the masters had egr
subject to the following conditions : , ivi
"That no omnibus or car money be allowed ° 0
next ; that every man should commence work 17,
and that, if absent through drinking or any atred
cause, one shilling per hour shall be &allot/
wages ; that heavy penalties should be inflicted 1;
dation upon any man leaving his "job ~ befell
discharge ; that if a sufficient number of Lic
could not be obtained to man the building yai
be employed for building purposes only; and tbso
be eight shillings per day, and no over time 011°,0
in cases of emergency, and then to be paid for 0
one shilling per hour." fi I
The men objected to the proposition relating .7,
What the association had now to do was to bind '
in a formidable manner together, and the coal
suggest was this : to insist upon the propositon °,,
being employed in building yards ; and that the '
as one man, support any master who might ill CCO,
