HOURS OF BUSINESS

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the TRADESMEN'S
ASSISTANTS, engaged in all branches of Trade, held
at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, last Evening,
the Gth instant, for the purpose of considering measures for
a Curtailment of the Hours of Business ; Mr. FLOWER in
the chair ; it was unanimously resolved—

1. That this Meeting, duly appreciating the disinterested
kindness of those gentlemen who so ably advocated the cause
of•the Assistants at the Meeting at the Sessions-house for
the curtailment of the hours of business, begs to convey to
them its unanimous and heartfelt thanks, and to express its
full confidence that, under their continued auspices, those
claims will be acceded to ; and that a note, signed by the
Chairman on behalf of the Meeting, be addressed to each
individually, thanking him for the same.

2. That an opinion having been expressed, at a numerous
Meeting of the Inhabitants of the town, that ten hours a-
day are amply sufficient for the purposes of business and re-
tail traders, and public requirement, and that such a reduc-
tion in the hours of labour would greatly promote the moral,
religious, and social improvement of the Assistants, this
Meeting does, in conformity with such expression of public
opinion, respectfully petition the Employers to call a Meet-
ing of their own body, to take the subject into consideration,
and adopt such measures as may to them appear desirable,
and which shall enable their Assistants to terminate their
labours at seven o'clock in the evening during summer and
winter ; and that the Committee of the Association of As-
sistant Tradesmen be empowered to prepare and circulate
such petition.

3. That the necessity of augmenting the funds of the As
;ociation of Assistant Tradesmen being apparent, this Meet

ing is of opinion that it is the duty-ofevery Assistani—io
enrol himself a member of that body, in order that its ends
may be more speedily accomplished.
