ft'as JOHN
lved TDM
una nKINSO, Esq. in the Chair,
pro Resoimously N,
~,_!P°Sed by Mr. KILN N, and seconded by Mr. HENRY COLE,
That, while this Meeting deplores the continuance of the
differences which exist between the Employers and the Work-
Then, they again express their belief that the resolution agreed
%Pon at the last Meeting was just and reasonable, and was im-
rrativelv called for by the exigencies of the case."
oposed by Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, seconded by Mr. EDWARD
WILLIAM<
" It having come to the know Ledge of this Meeting, that great
slumbers of the workmen novestanding out are impressed by a
potion that their signing aAere declaration, that they are not,
and will not eontinue,,,t member of a trades' union, will be
binding upon them
..itl law; and it having been industriously
propagated that it is the intention of the employers to take
advantage of the same, this meeting desires. in the strongest
-manner, to repudiate such an intention, even if it was possible
or legal, and declares that the signing of the declaration is only
binding in honour upon every man, and was the course adopted
' in 1833, and to which no objection was then made."
Proposed by Mr. JOHN WALKER, and seconded by Mr. THOS.
JAMES,
"That this Meeting, for the protection of Employers, and
siso for the protection of those Workmen who have resumed
their avocation, feel the necessity of aging with firmness and
tigour ; and every Employer now present pledges himself not
to resume work with any man who refuses to separate himself
t'orn a combination which takes upon itself to dictate both to
f;PiPloyers and Workmen, and whose interference is so preju-
Lueial to the best interests of society."
2 Proposed by Mr. JOHNSON, seconded by Mr. CRELLIN,
That an Acting Committee be now appointed to meet at
'web times and places as may be deemed most advisable, and
that it consist of the following gentlemen :
Mr. John Tomkinson, Mr. William Tomkinson,

Thomas James,
Cole having asked whether any communication had been
it'eived from Mr. Thomas Haigh, the Chairman replied that he
jui:L;l received a letter from him ; when was unanimously re-
-red that no reply should be made tout, and no notice what-
V; should be taken of it.
