MORE RATTENING Al SHEFFIELD.

We learn with regret that the crime of stealing
wheelbands—a form of robbery with which Sheffield
has been too familiar—is not wholly put down.
This most disgraceful description of theft has been
renewed at Messrs. Ward and Payne's, whose busi-
ness—the edge-tool trade—is well known to be one
of the best paid branches for workmen. The bands
taken are those used by a workman who is said to
be in arrears with his society. The following cor-
respondence has taken place between Mr. Ward and
the secretary. There are numerous old and re-
spectable workmen in the edge and tool branch who
are disgusted with this attempt to renew criminal
practices, and who will rejoice if a spirited effort is
made to stamp it out.

" Oct. 23, 1867.
To the Secretary of the Edge-tool and Wool-shear

Grinders.

" Sir,—"We beg to inform you that a case of
rattening has again occurred at our grinding wheel,
in the removal of some of our wheelbands, and
since it was clearly proved before the Trades
Inquiry Commission that these proceedings
were connived at by the secretaries and the
unions, we beg to state that the bands must be forth.
coming before work is resumed.—We, are, yours
respectfully,

" WARD AND PAYNE."
" Sheffield, Oct. 23, 1867.

" Dear Sir,—ln answer to your note of this date,
allow me to inform you that it is no news to me that
some bands have been removed from your grinding
wheel, as I heard of it yesterday, and your men, or
those of your men who told me, can bear me out
that I know nothing about them, as I distinctly
told them that they who had removed them must re-
place them. Certainly Ido not expect to be believed
because I am secretary. In respect to your men not
being allowed to resume work, that is entirely your
own business. The men will want their wages, and
think they can get them, either from our funds or
from you as their employer, but that is a matter
which does not concern me ; certainly I would rather
hear of some arrangement being made betwixt you,
and believe me in all sincerity yours,

" SAML. STACEY, ►Socy.

" P.S.—lllness prevented me being at the King's
Arms, or I should have sent you word by your re-
spected manager, C. Birkhead."
