Working Men's Excursion to the Paris

Exhibition.

The members of the working men's clubs in Lon-
don having, in September last, formed a committee,
under the presidency of Mr. A. H. Layard, M.P.,
to enable working men to visit the Paris Exhibition,
a meeting was held on Thursday evening, at the
Working Men's Club and Institute Union, 150,
Strand, to receive a report from Mr. H. Pratt, a
member of the Union Council. He had undertaken

to visit Paris for the purpose of ascertaining what
arrangements could be made to enable the excumion-
ists to see the Exhibition at a moderate cost. Ho

stated that through the kindness of our ambassador,
Lord Cowley, he had had an interview with the pre-
sident of the Exhibition Commission, M. Le Play,

Councillor of State, who expressed the warmest in-
terest in the proposed visit of English workmen, and
stated that they should have the full advantage of
whatever arrangements might be made to facilitate
the visits of French workmen from the provinces.
He added that a commission had been appointed
for the special purpose of enabling workmen to
obtain board and lodging on moderate terms,
as well as to obtain as much benefit as possible
from their visit to the Exhibition. Through the
kindness of Count L. Hugo and Dr. Louis, Mr.
Pratt obtained au introduction to the President
of this second Commission " For the Study of
Labour, and the Encouragement of Workmen."
This gentleman, M. Devinck, late Presi-

dent of the Tribunal of Commerce, and formerly a
representative for Paris, promised most cordially

that he would do everything in his power to assist
the English excursionists, and that nothing would
give him more pleasure than having an opportunity
of showing his high regard for the workmen of this
country. At his invitation Mr. Pratt attended an
important meeting of this commission, when he was

introduced to the several distinguished members of
that body, M. Devinck informing him publicly, on
behalf of his colleagues, that whatever facilities they
could provide for French workmen should be
afforded equally to foreigners. The commissioners
then proceeded to consider what steps should be
taken to enable working visitors to obtain their
meals in the Exhibition at the lowest price

compatible with due regard to quality, and a
contract was concluded for this purpose, as well as
for the erection of refreshment-rooms to accommo-
date 2,000 sitters. It was stated that an excellent
dinner would be supplied for about lf., as well as
other meals. The more difficult question of pro-
viding sleeping accommodation is now under the
consideration of this commission, and the secretary
(M. Desvernay) has kindly promised to inform Mr.
Pratt of the result of their deliberations. There is

reason to believe that the Government is prepared
to render most liberal assistance in this respect, and
to provide accommodation for workmen at a
merely nominal charge. Mr. Pratt also made
careful inquiries as to the accommodation which
might be obtained from private persons, and
with this object he visited many of the suburbs,
placing himself in communication with hotel-
keepers, house proprietors, and others. It appeared
to him that, considering the very great difficulty of
arranging for the accommodation of large bodies of
visitors going simultaneously, it would be desirable
to rent several flats or suites of rooms, unfurnished,
for a period of three or four months, and to render
them available for parties of from thirty to fifty
persons coming weekly, and remaining a week—
the period selected being after midsummer, when
prices will probably be lower. This plan met
with general approval in Paris ; and as the pro-
prietors of houses now ready would not let for so
short a term, it was thought desirable to seek for
the proprietors of houses now in course of construc-
tion, but which will be ready by midsummer. Apart-
ments in such houses could be had at moderate
terms, and Mr. Pratt is in correspondence with two,
building companies on the subject. it will be easy
to hire beds and furniture for these rooms. at a
small cost.. A.a at present advised, Mr. Pratt be-
lieves that accoinmodation could thus be obtained at
about 83. a week for each person, but he is not pre-
pared as yet to speak positively on this point. He
proposes to return to Paris in March for the
purpose of learning exactly the nature of
the arrangements made by the authorities
for the accommodation of foreign workmen,
and of concluding such definite agreements
with house proprietors and others as the committee
may desire. The meeting concluded with a hearty
vote of thanks to Mr. Pratt for the labour and ex-
pense incurred, and with resolutions expressing the
gratitude of the committee to Messieurs Le Play and
Devinck for the very kind interest which they had
shown in the proposed excursion of English work-
men. Members of clubs and others proposing to
visit the Exhibition are invited to apply to Miss
Horsbrugh, the treasurer ; or to Mr. W. 0. Pock-
lington, the secretary to the committee, at the
offices of the Working Men's Club and Institute
Union, 150, Strand.
