MEETING OF COAL WHIPPERS.

, . .
.
'A very large meeting, of the coal whippers of the port
of Lnedon was held on, Wednesday :evening ,in the St.
Mary's Sehool-room; Johnsoe's-street, Shadwell for the
purpene of tatting
into consideration the best means of
alleviating ,the great distress ,which prevailed amongst
the body Of coal whippers, , and the adoption,of some
mere deeide.l and energetic measures fur • its immediate
relfef.. The proceedings having been opened by Mr.
13.sreritortPE, the chairman,
JeletN FOLEY, a coal whipper, moved the following re-
solution---- That in the year 1843 an at of Parliament
was passed to release the coal whippers cf, the port of Lon-
don from the public house agency system. That the term
for which the act was last renewed expired duilng the
last ses-ion of parliament, and was not again renewed
in consequence of a pledge being given to the Board of
Trade by 350 of the coal owners,lactors, and masters Of
vessels to carry out its provisions under private arrange-
ment. That notwithstanding the pledge given by and in
the name of the coal owners, factors, and masters of the
port cf London, the .old system of public-house truck
has been again le vived, and now ahont one-third of the
whole number are 'employed 'by publicans and other
it
tredesea, and the remaining two-thirds through the
d
office established by the owners and factors.; that this
cement
meeting sees in this state o (things the core
of that system from is bleb the coal whipper
