Mr. JOHN STEWART, of Liverpool, was called to the
Chair.
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted:
lA.—That it is the decided opinion of this Meeting, that it is
utterly impossible for any Master Tradesman to maintain his
legitimate authority, to fulfil his engagements to his employers,
or to enter into any contract with safety, so long as the Gan,tral
Trades Union are lu existence, it being now ciear that the ob-
ject of these Unions is an improper interference with the pri-
vate concerns of the employer, and the destruction of that sub-
ordination without which society itself cannot exist.
2d,—That this. Meeting, considering that a fair and reason.
able time has been granted to the workmen in most of the large
towns in this county to ascertain the general feelings, not only
of the Master Tradesmen, but of the public at large, 10 hereby
strongly recommend and invite all persons connected with the
building department. in those towns where the General Trades
Union are established, to unite in one general effort to carry
into effect the spirit of the Resolutions adopted here this day,
by not employing any workmen who are members, and refuse
to withdraw from the General Trades Union.
3cl.—That this Meeting respectfully solicits all gentlemen
and public bodies now engaged in building to suspend their
operations at present, in alt cases where men connected with
the Trades Union are ernp:oyed.
4th.—That the Master Tradesmen of Liverpool and Man-
chester having suspended their work in consequence of the-ille-
gal and arbitrary conduct of the General Trades Union, we, the
undersigned Masters of Preston and other places, do pledge
ourselves to co-operate with them, and we engage not to em-
ploy any member of the Trades Union, unless he withdraw
himself, and sign a declaration to that effect.
