delegtes from all parts Of the country

take pace in the Town Hall, and
amongpthers subjects TO be discussed
are--tA position of the Goa mining,
districts consideration Of the wages OF
miners, nc eight hours question, and
the Mines Regulation ILL.

has not succeeded. The agitation
has been suspended owing to the
want Of support for the operatives Of
the building trades. The committee,
after some considerable trouble taken
on their part, find it useless to continue
the movement, as the men do not feel
inclined to give up the hours pay.
They want, IS they did in 1859, the
same pay fornine hour as they receive
for ten. 1t was expected they would
dc unanimous in foregoing the hours
pay. As it is, the question must go for
the present.
The .Short-tinie Increment ia the Cotton
Trade dose not succeed very well
The Primers have made application
" their employers to be allowed to
work fifty eight hours per week instead
OF sixty, but the application has only
met with a poor response. There is
considerable Indifference among the en-
ployers ID regard to the question, but
the agitation is to 60 on-the opera
tives being determined to obtain re-
duction in their presents hours of work.
At meeting held on Sunday at Man
chester, at which so delegates were pre-
sent, II was unanimously resolved to
i0'p committees in every district to
asSlSe,Re operatives in obtaining the re-
duced ne, and a conference is to be
neloin Iu0n' to receive reports.

Let US give an Illustration how it operates:
There are four delegates elected from union,

a sinister purpose After two or thre meet
ipgs, the delegates become disguised With the
persistent efforts Of their colleague, and refrain
from going 10 tie assembly, instead of openly
and manfully opposing the scheme. 1t is finally

one union less represented. Now, if the three
delegates had done their duty, they could have
been in position to rtate the facts Of the case,
to have demanded the Withdrawal OF the dis

true representative.
They have succeeded, however, for the time
