-MEETING OF
A crowded meeting of
in the port of London took
at the Star, Dock-street, _, opp~.
the new building of the Sailors' Home, for the two-
fold purpose of encouraging the men in their present
demand for an advance of wages, and to promote
the establishment of a society which has been started
by the sailors to be called " The London Seamen
Protection Spciety." Mr. King took the chair, and
it was stated that, although the movement among
the men for an increase of pay had only been re-
cently commenced, the sailors might congratulate
themselves on what they had already accomplished,
and if they were only united and firm in their course
of action, they would succeed in obtaining a proper
remuneration for the arduous and perilous services
which they rendered the shipowner. The proposed
society which they were solicited to join would put
them in a position to secure a higher rate of wages,
and also to afford them other advantages. The en-
trance card that was given to members on enrolling
themselves in the society bore the following as the

terms On which they would take employment :—" You
are requested not to sign for less than the undermen-
, tioned scale : Steamships---£5 per month for the Baltic
and North America; £4 per month for the Mediterra-
nean and south of the Line; ss. per day for daily wages
and Bd. per hour overtime. Sailing ship : £3 10s.
per month round either of the Capd; £4 10s. per
month, with or without advance, for all western
voyages; 10s. per month for the West Indies,
Mediterranean, and south of the Line; 55. per day
for daily' wages, and Bd. per hour overtime. All
seamen are advised to examine the articles of agree-
ment before signing them, and if the rate of wages
we are asking for is not complied with, you are re-
quested not to sign." In the course of a somewhat
protracted discussion it was menikaned that several
of the boarding-house4Opers_ would be ready to
assist the men duringtle. time they were holding
out, should any of them be turned out of the Home.
They bad also promised to contribute to a fund for
the relief of the men while they were on strike.
A SAILOR complained of agents coming up from
Gravesend and engaging hands at a public-home,
and then smuggling

being done, but they would soon have agents at
Gravesend and other places, and then the shipment
of crews, except in a regular way, could not be
I effected.

Another SEAMAN thought that the society should
take in coasters and fishermen. Something had
been said about giving relief to the men turned out
of the Home, but what about the married man and
his family of little ones during the strike ? (Cheers.)
He also urged that no time should be lost in having
the rules properly certified.
The CHAIRMAN said the rules were no w being
considered and framed, and a monster meeting of
the men would be called- to adopt them.
After some further discussion, the proceedings
terminated at a late hour.

A number of men were enrolled in the society
during the evening, and a good amount of silver was
handed in. It was noticed that there were several
foreigners amongst the body of seamen. It was
stated that some hands had been shipped to New
Zealand at £3 per month, which was an advance of
10s., but the great majority held out for £3 10s.
