THE JOURNEYMEN COACHMAKERS' STRIKE.
TO THE PUBLIC.

Lkerpoul, Fee. 12, 183'3.
•
rp RE MASTER COACIIMAKEUS of this distiict regret
the necessity of again appealing to the Public as to the
dispute stilt existing between themselves and then-Journeymen ;
they were in hopes that the good sense of the latter Would have
behlie this rendered the present explanation unnecessary. Such
not baiw,i; the case, they are compelled, in justice to the Public
and their own character; to reply to the test statement of the
Journeymen in the following -manner :
First.—lt is by that Body denied that an individual had the
threat held out to hint' that, unless he complied with the iveles
of the Men, he should not have a Man to work for him for the
nexCtWklve-months;•and be compenett to parifrvery Man his full
wages as if at work.. That this intim:dation Was offered to him
the individual alluded to is prepared to prove- upon oath, if re-
,quired. The Master Coachmakers are also prepared to prove that-
such spirit Of dictation and control has long governed the con-
duct of the Workmen. The Masters are reluctantly compelled
to lay before the Public a-Copy of a.:few out or many Letters
received by the several Firms from the Journeymen.

SeeundiY.-rThe Journeymen state, that the-first-rate worker
will engage with the employer at the rate of wages from £l. l2s.
to £2 per week. Should they be -sincere in this offer, we wil-
lingly accept it; und, further, we Will engage them at such
piece-work prices as will enable them to earn from £2 to £5 per.
week. In doing this, all that we . require is, that each Work-
untu guarantees himself free front:the tranune.s of any Society
which has for its object that of taking from the Master the con-
trot of his own Establishment.

• Third.— the Journeymen most distinctly and most unecnii-
vocally assert, that.tney will nut sign the Declaratiou that was
presented to them, as not being the same as put fort o the
Pubhet/ the Masters otLiverpool.. 'This •emanate rom the
Masters in Mauchester, and in words somewhat erent from-
that offered to the Journeymen in Liverpool; tin spirit we
consiaer them the same. But, should the refer it, we Will
cheerfully substitute it in its place. L ff.
Fourth.—The-Journeymen deny "hhifilfg any connexion with
any Society but that of Coachmakers, which ha's existed up- '
wards of thirty years, and having for, its object the relief of the
unemployed Members, the Sick, and the Burial of the Dead.
To this we again reply we have no objection ; and we now lay
before the Pubiic a Copy of a document of their own, whiehiviil4
prove that the Society of which we complain was not establis'hed ,
until the vear 1.832. The following circumstance wiltalso prove''
that, so far from its funds being apolied to the relief of tineuf-
ployed Members, they are directed to a very contrary purpose
—Some time ago a Workman applied to a 'Firm in this town
fur employment. He was told that, being a stranger, they
could not form an opinion-of his ability, but would give hiM
Thirty Shillings per Week for a short time. Should they then
'find him a good Workman, they would engage him at the full
piece-work prices, which would more than' double that. 'This
Offer was accepted, but never entered upon : the reason Kill
appear upon the certificate.
With these statements of facts we have endeavoured to prove
to the Public that we were compelled to make the stand .we
have against the tyranny of the Workuieir; and, should our
conduct be approved, we do hope and trust that those Persons
in the same Trade who have thought fit to encourage the .Isi'en,
by still continuing to employ theth, will not be enabled to obtain
more than a teninorary advantage over us; and, in taking
leave of the Public, we again beg leave to return them our be St
thanks for the kindness extended to us, and to assure them that
every exertion is now making to engage Worktnen to the milli-
ber iequired by our several Establishments; also that, with the
number each of us have now engaged, we areenabled to execute
any urgent Work our several 'F riends may "require of us.
iu conelusiOn, we are detarmined strictly to abide by our just
Resolutions. At the same time we cordially invite all well-
disposed Workmen who are witiing-th shake off the trammels of
a Society that would fetter the Masteis, and eventually injure
the Men themselves.

The subjoined Letters will show the nature and character of
the dictation attempted to be exercised upon 'both the -Makers
and Journeymen Coachmakers.

Sta,—There being an unpleasantness prevailing between the
master coachmakers' in this town, that you give your body.
makers' no more than £llss. per week, and they are. giving £2
per week to no better workmen than sours, thciefore they, the
masters, find themselves agrieved. The trade taking it into
consideration that you have therefore an undue influence over
the other masters, as they are not able to compete with you
under these circumstances, we wish to inform you that unless
you give them the same wages other masters give to,coMpotent
bodyinakers it may cause a inure serious misunderstanding
betwixt you and us than perhaps you are aware of.

SlR,—There has been an advance of wages throughout the

We•the operative coachmakers' of , with all due
deference, are obliged to lay before you the cause of our present
complaint; your foreman, -contrary to our rules, has 'wrote to
London for men, and one Man from London is now at work in
your employ, we wish to inform-you•that if you do not discharge
.that .man from -tour employ all the rest.of. your men will be
obliged to turn out against him, he not being a- legal man. It
is the rule of Lancashire that all foremen must pay the same as
the journeymen to the support of the trade;any foreman in-
fringing on this rule must be expelled from holding a situation
in the country; your foreman has taken more upon himself than
he will be allowed-to do, and if he does not desist from so doing
we must let him see that the men of will not be t-
rarmized over by a man like him; and for the better information
of your foreman he must understand the coachmakers' of Lon-
don are not considered legal in the country as u, country man is
.not considered legal in Condon.
