TO THE GENTLEMEN AND MERCHANTS OF
LIVERPOOL AND ITS VICINITY.
WE, the JOURNEYMEN BRICKLAYERS of this
tows, beg most respectfully to lay our present greiv-
ances before you.
Our employers having thought proper to convene a meet-
ing for the purpose of reducing our standing wages, which are
£1 64. per week, gave us notice on Saturday night, the 3d of
November, that those who did not think proper to follow their
present employment at a reduction of 2s. per week, are no
tenger wanted.
Since that time, some of our truly pious, and e.rtremly cha-
ritable employers, have told gentlemen, that the Bricklayers
bare struck Tor an advance of wages, and further, that they
waist a day for three quarters of a day, all of which is quite
Untrue.

Gentlemen, our wish is to resume our employmentinstantlV,
at our above mentioned regular wages ; and if you would
please to look at the way in which we are exposed to the in-
clemency of the weather, you will find, that from three days
to three and a half, and four days, is our average time in the
Winter quarter. We would implore von, further, to look at the
alarming advance in the price of all sorts of provisions, and
e'so at the rents of cottage houses, which ate about 50 per
seat. higher than they were about three years back.
And any Gentleman having been persuaded that we con-
stitute any part of the Traded' Union, can, by applying at
the STANDARD OFFICE. he furnished with a Copy of our
Rules, which will give him to understand that they are in
conformity to law, and with the provisions of the Act 10
Geo, 4th, c. 56, as amended by 4 and 5 William 4th, c. 40,
and signed by the Clerk of the Peace.
Under the atioeve distressing circumstances, we most hum-
bly solicit the mediation of Gentlemen' between our Em-
ployers and ourselves._.....

(Signed)
THE JOURNEYMEN BRICKLAYERS.
