• THE OPERATIVES OF ASHTON-UNDERZTNr''''
At the weekly meeting of the Ashton-under-Lre
Board of Guardians yesterday, the Rev. T. Radley presid-
ing, the following petition was presented by a deputation of
five men representing the oakum pickers and the men ND3rl:,
ing on the roads ;—" Oar object in appearing before V"'
this morning on behalf of the men working on the road.
and the oakum pickers, is-1. To respectfully ask of You to
be kind enough to allow them the back pay which has besli
stopped for their not working the extra time required frog.
them last week. 2. That the men may have a proper and cl -
nite understanding from your board what time they have t:
work, and that there may be no alteration made from the
statement on their cards in this respect. 3d. That, should any
of the men give a satisfactory reason for wishing to go °
upon any urgent necessity, they may be allowed to do 0;
but they wish your Board to direct who shall he the
proper person or persons to apply to for that purpose'
as hitherto they have not known to whom such applicatill
ai
should be made." The deputation having made a vet' ha
statement of their willingness to work, then retired.---lt,
Chairman moved :—" That in consequence of the mistake
which seems to have been prevalent with regard to
the numbers of hours and to the time required to be worked'
and also that a great number of those who did so misunde"
stand would have worked had it not been for intimidations
and also that, as the men now have a respectful
demeanour, and are desirous to carry out the resolution
of the Board, that the request which they have made
this morning, that the back money should be paid to
them, shall be acceded tons a matter of grace, but not ot
right; and the guardians wish to state that this has beet;
with the consent and approval of the inspector."--Tbe
motion was seconded by Mr Clay, and adopted unarY"
mously,—The deputation were then called in, and tllO
Chairman, having informed them of the decision of the
Board, expressed a hope that from the present
time there would be no more trouble, but that
the original resolution of the Board requiring the
men to work seven hours a day and four days a week,
would be carried out.—Mr Corbett also addressed a few
words to the deputation. Be said the time worked in the
Ashton Union was no more than that worked in other
