      "Unioh/Orhkijfikiom. " Friends-We Feel D...

      " UnioH / orHkiJfiKiOM . " Friends-We feel desirous this week to amplify a subject adverted to in the Northern Star of June nut , namely the subject of victimization , practised by some employers towards their men , for being active members in Trades Unions .

      Of all the abuses and evils practised upon the working classes , oppressing and crushing them , in many instances without hope of recovery , this system of victimization is the worst . It is the most dastardly and destructive course pursued by one man towards another . It is the offspring of a bad heart , whose guilt is rendered dark and infamous , by deliberately contriving to overwhelm in affliction and trouble its unfortunate victims in the mostcunmttg and subtle manner ; and therefore it is the mo * t dangerous and futile in its operation .

      It is not only intended , by this disgraceful systern of victimization , to ruin and impoverish the adjects of its spleen , but also to obstruct the progression of emancipation , and to perpetuate the chains winch enslave and fetter the working man . This has inva ialily been the plan adopted by might and wrong , to put ilwn the growing claims of right , and injured humanity . The . principle upon which this hideous system operates is various , though its objects are ever the sanifi . Sometimes it lays its witheri ' mr talons upon its unfortunate victims at midnight-hour , drags them to the felon ' s cell , and locates them manacled among the vilest and most degraded of human beings ; and , before netcssary arrangements can he made for a fair and honourable trial , they are forced through a kind of mock-trial , where justice is put to shame , and truth is made to blush for such human

      arrogance—while humanity shudders at the monstrous proceedings and cruel de-cisions of such one-sid « d ami counterfeit trials , which doom men to bowls and imprisonment , without the least chance of obtaining counsel , or bare justice . At another time the same system is carried on more openly , and with apparently more justice ; but under that false appearance lurks a savage spirit , full of rage and rancour , and thirsting to satiate itself in inflicting its spleen and vengeance upon a brave and noble spirit , that dares assert the right to live , to liberty , and to ample remuneration for their labour . By effecting the banishment of such worthy men from their homes and sweet remembrances of affectionate children , they think to rob the labourer of his hire , and swamp the movement for Labour ' s regeneration .

      At another time this same system takes another course . ; it puts on a face of sorrow , it mimics pity , it affects a kind and humane feeling . And by this hypocritical and dissimulating policy , endeavours to persuade the good and true to recant their principles —to turn traitors to the cause of freedom and justice , and sell for a morsel of bread , ihe imperishable rights of labour . In some instances this artful policy has proved effective , but in others it has not . There have been hundreds of true English heart .-who would not be so led astray An innate spirit of independence has induced them to repel with indignity the attempt to filch away the rights and privileges of their order , by such mean artifice ; and

      where the spirit of low cunning and deceit , has crosst-d a noble mind , and finds its artful schemes unsuccessful , it begins to lie rather harsh . Then it threatens , then it rages and endeavours to intimidate , and finding all this useless tbey cast him of as a pest , a nuisance to society , and one that no respectable employer should employ ; a dangerous man in a shop , who ought to b % starved to death it he continues so obstinate a fellow as to go in opposition to his master , and in seeking to elevate the working classes . And tii us is he driven away—no one will employ him—the masters set a mark upon him as an innovator , and proscribe , his entering their establishments to seek a job of work .

      How many hearts have bled , and happy families been severed , through this direful system ? No one can imagine the numbers who have fallen a sacrifice to it , aud suffered martyrdom for their strenuous adhetence to the principles they consider to be dear and of vital importance . This system of victimisation has not been confined to trades' movements alone , but in every other movement for the recovery of the rights of the working classes . Volumes might be filled with accounts of the sad and gloomy results of this baneful and destructive system ; but we niuit confine our attention more particularl y to cases in connection with trades' movements . And

      numerous instances of base and cruel treatment rushes iijion our minds , of tbe wrongs perpetrated upon unprotected labour by unprincipled employers . Every trade in their local operations have had their victims . They know what a frown or a threat of an employer indicates , when excited by the tlcvotetlness of zealous unionists . We could select individuals who have suffered long and keenly for labouring to elevate the condition of their trade . One iiulividual , jwbose name we need notjmentioii , in 1836—7 took the lead in a very important strike , which continued 13 weeks ; and for the part he took in trades affairs , incurred the hot displeasure of the master class . He was a good and true man , and well

      qualified for the efficient management of trades' unions . And nobly did he fight the battles of his trade for many years , and , through that career , obtained some glorious victories . And for this , as we have stated , he i n erred the displeasure of the master class ; and ever since the date alhnleil to , for upwards ' of 10 years , he has been the object of the vindictive cruelty of the employers . No one would give hira work , and , had it not been for the kind interference of a humane friend , he would have been left in want and penury . But through the kind aid of this friend , he was enabled to defy the rage and malice of wrong

      doers . But adversity frowned upon him , and distress threatened to overwhelm him j and instead of receiving support from the men in whose cause he suffered , they disowned him , some of them attempted to blast bis reputation , by circulating the most gross and groundless calumnies , and thus , what the masters could not effect . Th e men , whose battles he fought , and for whose interests he offered himself a sacrifice , accomplished for them . Yes , poor man ! disowned and neglected by his own trade ; has now found an asvlum . and been befriended bv the operatives of Sheffield .

      Another instance of this cruel system occurred in Keithley , in Yorkshire , some time back ; in the case of a young woman , a power loom weaver . 1 ' appears the warp ? given her to weave , were uncommonly bad , so much so , that it was impossible for her to earn a livelihood . She determined therefore to resist this encroachment upon her rights . She . did so / and during the time she was out , obtained another seat of work . But her former employer applied for her discharge , which was conceded . ' She sought for another situation , and succeeded in gfttting one ; but , scarcely had she commenced to work , when her old employer applied

      to have her turned away ; but the gentleman , in whose service she was then engaged , objected to obey the mandate of this cruel man , adding , " the young woman must live , and that shn must either starve , or expose herself in the streets to get a jiving . " But this kind of reasoning seemed only to enrage the old employer , and he determined to he revenged upon a helpless woman , for having dared to mend her condition by honest industry . He immediately dispatched an inspector wiih a warrant to apprehend her , she was accordingly dragged away to the court-house , and hurried before a magistrate . The trial was only a mock one , and , in a short time , she was committed to the house of correction for

      one month . But through the exertion of the men of Keithley , the case was soon quashed , and the magistrate aud employer were put into a terrible fright , expecting that an action would iiave been entered against them , which would have been done , had not the poverty of the men prevented them from doing so . We offer no comment upon this case , it is able of itself to unfold a something relative to the wrongs and sufferings inflicted upon the workingclass . This is but one , out of a gwat number of similar cases , which are suffered to pass with impunity , without being ever brought to light .

      Another case is that of a poor man in Manchester-He took an active part in the National Association , and through that he has brought upon himself the everlasting hatred and ill-feeling of the employers in that trade . But the central committee took up his case , and for months has lie been supported as a victimized man . About three weeks ago he got work at a mill , hut just as lie had commenced to work , the foreman entered the room , asked him his name , and being informed , he was ordered away from the factorv , aud no employment could be given m such a man as that ; and thus he is again , with almost a broken heart , forced from employment , for nothing in the wide world but for his labouring , in the sinceritv of his soul , to leave his fellow creatures better off than they are at present . But he must not be left to perish 1 The dark designs of unfeeling employers must be defeated , and unprotected labour shall jet

      rise , develope , and enforce its claims , and at one * shake off for ever , the hideous encumberances thai obstruct the onward march of Labour ' s emancipation . If the working classes would aid us in effecting this , join the National Association . Would you avert the ruinous tendencv 0 f victimisation , join th * "* tional Association . Would you create happy homes for the distressed and destitute , hasten to become members of the Association . And not merely the Association for the Protection of Industry , but also the Association for Employment of Labour ; and let those trades bodies who are in possession of « in > I <« funds , take immediate steps to invest those funds in the National Association for the Employment of Labour . They offer as good security as any that can be obtained in any Bank in the Kingdom ; and we offer four per cent , upon all money so invested But

      even this , we consider of itself , is of but small moment compared with the great advantages that would accrue to the working classes from such investment . For , instead of that money being applied to work the downfall of their class , it would be used to effect their entire redemption , by being employed in a reproductive manner , in giving employment to idle hands , and by that means become manufacturers , and in course of time practical farmers ; and so replenish our exchequer by the profits arising from the manufacturing and sale of goods , hitherto amassed for individual aggrandizement , and to assist capitalists in executing their cruel desi gns upon the working man . Then we say to the trades possessing surplus funds , invest them with us , and you and your children will reap the advantage ; and the trades now oppressed and ground down to the earth , shall be restored to the rights and privileges of their forefathers .

      The following excellent memorial has been received from the Broad-Silk Weavers of Manchester , which is recommended to the consideration of the various trades societies m connection with the National Associatiem - *—

      HlBOttUL 0 » TUE BH 01 & . & 1 US . nttvns or MANCHESHR AND S » LF 0 hD , Sheweth , That your memorialists are fully alive to the situation of the Ct-ntral Committee , in tbe comparaiiv . HU-fficienoy of the Association ; and awar « , that the transition from a state of isolation to association , —from disorganisation to union , —must necessarily be a state of pain and suffering ; that thehabits ol jealousy engendered by the repulsive system ( where every man ' s liand was against his brother ) trill bo carried to a great extent into the united When to this we add the distrust occasioned by the failure of former local unions , and the acrimony aud il' -feeiinfrof ' empfoyers . We cordially sympathize with you on the irksome and paintul duties yeu and your agents have had to perl (» rm , and heartily congratulate you on the firmness and decision you have already eviaced , and the success which 1 ms attended your labours .

      , Your mcmorialUts , therefore , call your immediate attention to the subject of Aonoraru members , and suggest , that select committees bo forthwith sppointt-d in all the | towns and districts where tbe Association has branches for the purpose of obtaining such members . That the instructions to such committees be , first , the issuing of large poatlng-bilU , announcing to the public the objects of the society , and the advunt & uea to be derived by the different classes , viz ., the nobility , gentry , bankers , merchants , manufacturers , wholesale and retail dealers , tradesmen , artizans , aud labourers , when n fair remuneration shall bo st-cured , and a properatimulus given to the industrious- class .

      That circulars be addressed to respectable individuals shortly after such phtcards be published ; then call their attention to the resolution of the late conference ? relatiTr to honorary members , and announce that parties will be appointed to solicit their individual support to a society thus admirably calculated to give a healthy tone to thetrades of this cauntry , by increasing the home consump . tion , and conferring salutary benefits upon the whole community , That all large and populous districts be divided into secti'ins , and local cemmittees to canvass the same .

      That such local coranuttVs consist of the members of tlie Association , and others known to be favourable to the independence of labour , and in COI . neClion with the select committee , form a permanent board to meet periodically , for the purpose of hearing reports , stimulating exertion , and otherwise furthering our common objects . That a per centage be allowed to tbe committee and visitors out of their first ttvelve months ' subscriptions , as pocket money during the canvass . Your memorialists are fully confident from tbe num . b-r of licensed victuallers , beer and coffee-house Keepers ,

      grocers , tea , provision , and other dealers , to a great extent drpending upon the working population for support . That , if such a plan was adopted , a sum might be realised of which wo at pn-sent can form no conception . Moreover , that such income will be little liable to fiur . tuatons , and will have the further merit of requiring nothing in return . Your early attention to what we consider ao important subject , and the adoption of the above , sr some oilier better plan to secure the advantages proposed , will ever bo gratefully remembered by your brethren iu association .

And the following reports from members of the central committee and agents of the Association . Wolverhampton . —On Wednesday evening , July Mth , Mr Humphries , of the central committee , attended a public meeting of cabinet Inck-smiths . Mr 11 . gave an animated lecture on the principles ami objects of the National Association . A vote of thanks to the speaker , for his able address , was carried * and also ( o the chairman of the meeting . The above trade have resolved to join the Association ,

      Dudlky —Mr Humphries attended a public met-ting , at UiuUey , on Thursday evening , Mr Masaey , vice-maker , was called to the chair , who , having opened tho business of the meeting , called upon Mr Humphries to explain the objects of the National Asstociation . An excellent spirit in favour of the Association was created , and all present seemed determined to become zealous members of tlie same . At the close of the meeting , tbe chairman proposed tbe health of the speaker , which was unanimously responded to . After which , the health of T . S . Dunoombe , Esq ,, M . t \ , was proposed , and responded to in musical honours , Several questions were asked Mr II . relative to the Association , which being answered , the meeting broke up , evidently satisfied with the subject of the lecture .

      Ou Friday Mr Humphries proceeded back to Willenball , for the purpose ot having an interview wilh ono of the employers of that town . Accordingly the interview was obtained , and the employer received Mr Humphries and Mr Brotlie with great courtesy and respect . The object of the interview was not fully realised , but Air II . succeeded in showing that gentleman the protection this National Association is calculated to afford to honou able employers . After a meeting of about forty minutes , the employer promised to re-consider the case , which called for the interference of arbitration on our part . And Mr Humphries withdrew . . hries

      Ou the evening ofthesnmo day , Mr Hump attended a public meeting of locksmiths , m WilJenhall . And the room was crowded to excess . Mr Prince wa * called to the chair , who introduced Mr 11 who on rising , showed the practical workings of ' the National Association , and demonstrated the the superiority of the same , overalllocal combinations . At tho close . of which a manufacturer of the town rose—he said , not to ask pny question , but just to state why he attended that meeting , namely , by a written note , and to hear and judge for himself ! He should offer no opposition as he agreed with all the gentlemen had said , and csuld he be convinced that tbe National Association was better calculated to protect the interest ot the working men ot

      Willenhall , than their own local union , ne should give it all the support , in his power . But he should like to have a private interview with the lecturer . For he thought he ( Mr 11 . ) would be able to explain to him more fully , some pointsconnectcd with the National Association ; and , perhaps he might show tho speaker the workings of their body . Mr 11 . said he should bo glad to have an interview with the gentleman , but it must be that evening as he had to leave Willenhall early in the mornin ° , for the potteries . But at the same time he should have preferred the gentleman to have asked

      any question in that meeting , so that the public mi ' ht have the benefit . And in reierence to the National Association being of more service to the trades of Willenhall . was apparent from the lact that , if they joined the National Association , they would still retain all their own local powers and influence ; and add to that the power and influence ot the National Association . Mr 11 . exhorted everyone prt ' sent if they would not join the National Association , they snould join in a local union ; and whatever they did , bo firm and united together . A vote of thanks wos proposed to Mr II ., and a forest of hands were held up in favour of the National

      Association . The men of Wil'enhaH have token astepinthe right direction . We say , go on ; and yourselves and children will reap the reward of your exertions .

Mr R . advised the members of the different trades to meet at their respective rooms , to discusa the necessity of uniting themselves with the National Association ol United Trades for the Protection of Industry . An excellent spirit prevailed tbrouehf-ut the meet ' ing , and ne have no doubt but that the foundation is laid for tho formation of a strong body of unionists in the old borouuh ot Maidstone .

      Mr J- W . Parker reported that he had , according to the instructions received from the central ct mmittee , waited upon Mr Royle , silk smallware weaver , of Middlcton , to endeavour to obfain a penny , that had been deducted for weaving n certain article , making a difference ofabmittwo ( . hillings per week per man in w * g » a ; on makinit known his missi . ii , he was ordered "ff the mill by Mr Royle , who declared he was already paying a penny too much ; thus Mr P . was prevented Irom attempting to mediate . The hands at this mill are subjected to petty tyranny , inasmuch , if they are one minute too late , they are fined threepence ench ; and the engine is started three minutes before time , so that the deor of the mill shall be locked tbe instant 'he clock

      strikes . He had an interview with the Wwk print . rs upon a question in reference to prices , but it was ft matter with which the central committee could not interfere , it being local . Ho left them with the undetstanding that it should be referred to their own localnnion . On the same day be proceeded to iNorthwich , Cheshire , to pay the tailors on strike against a Mr Hartley , who is paying a less price than other master lailors in the town . The ruck gettem and salt boilers , nnd other trades , took advantage of Mr Parker s visit , and a brae meeting was held to near an explanation of ' the principles of the National Association of United Tradeshe having dilated at

      ; great lenuth , the Ctisirman very ably espatialed upon rlie viewsi set forth by the lecturer , and urged tho trades of Northwich to adopt "hem forthwith . Votea ot thanks were parsed to the chairman and lecturer , and the meeting dissolved . Since which , one hundred and eighteen salt getters have enrolled their names , and tho salt buUmtwift formed the-mseWes into a society tor the purpose ef joining the United 1 rades . The meeting in question has created a "teat excitement in the salt trade ot Northwich , and they have invitee Mr Pinker to deliver another lectureand are anxious to have a depot opened for the sale of goods manufactured by the United Trades .

      MAN 011 ES 1 ER .-Ou Saturday , thecentral committee hitring forwarded the money requisite to pay the hands on strike at Mr Smith's mill , Mr Parker attended at the PosUnffice , to yet the orders cashed , and to his surprise , on presenting them , was told thai no advice hail arrived from London . This was a veryawkward situation to be placed in , as there were upwards of one hundred and t ! irty persons depending mm their weekly allow * . Under these circumstances , be was obliged to resort to borrowing , ami thanks tl > the kindness and generosity of tne Rev . — Schofield , W . P . Robsrts , Esq ., and Mr White of the Railway Inn . he was enabled to pay all the hands . From this untoward circumstance some delay in paying them necessarily' took place . The undersi rappers at tha mill were chuckling that tbey would have the hands in next week , as they said , " Yon see theereat trades union has failed to send your money . " The wish , no doubt , was father to the thought , hut ihey laid tha

      flattering unction to their souls rather too soon . lVnksto tht ! timely assistance of the above patriotic gentlemen , it was n t until Tuesday morning that the orders could be cashed , although the Pnst-officd au'horities of Bloomsbury declare that the advice was sent e , ff on the Friday previous . How is this ? Ihe Manche-ter Ptist-oflioe is one of the worst conducted in the kingdom . An order can never ba ca-hed without pariie » are kept waiting from two to three hours ; it is not the first time that such bungling has taken place as the non-arrival nf the advice . During the strike of the tailors of Manchester the winter be'ore last it repeatedly occurred , and it is high time that some inquiry took place . How is it that the advice in the above case , which ought to l ave arrived on Saturrfa > morning , did not arrive till the Tuesday following ? The people of Manchester should demand a reform of their mismanaged anil unaccommodating Post-office .

      On Tue-day evening Mr Humphries attended a meeting of the lucksmithaat Wellmhall , for the pur pose of explaiiiint ; ihe objects of the Association . The roo ¦ ¦ , capable ofluddiua 300 people , was densely crowded with working men , who were very anxious to know the charac tranil mode of operation pursued by the members of the union . Mr Prince , of Wellinhall , an active membe-r of the Association , and one who has fallen a victim to tbe cupidity of his employer on account of the active part he has taken in

      the association , was called to the chiiir . He brie & jr alluded to the object of the meeting , and begged a patient and attentive hearing to the a « entsent down from London to advocate the principles of ihe National Association , lie should , therefore , without saying any mors call lij ) .. i . Mr Humphries , who el > . served that one great and primary otyeei of tha Association wa * to promote the interest nnd enhancfi tlie welfare of the working classes , by associating f . heru in ouc extensive and fiughty combinttinn , Ha then showed ti . si the Asscci . vjon was as careful over

      the interest ,, of honourable employers as ot thw . 'owis members ; thut they » ouid prottcc the wel ; -being of upright masters equally with the men , and that whenever any dispute arose between any of their members and their respective employer * , the Central Committee took a gentle andconciliatory couise , and instead of widenim ; the breach between them , the / endeavoured to bring affairs to an amicable and satisfactory termination , and in many instances had been very successful , and employers had expressed their admiration of the feature that characterised the movements of the- National Association . Ia other instances they bad not been so successful , and , through the obstinacy of employers , had been forced to turn manufacturers themselves . Mr Humphries then showed samples of goods which the men were

      producing-, and strongly urged upon them the necessity of purchasing such things fr . m the National Association . An excellent spirit was created , and the nun of Wellinhull evinced a determination to assist the National Association , in becoming consumers of their goods . A great desire was manifested to have an agency established there for the sale of goods , as thev have no doubt but it would be well supported . The lecturer was loudly cheered during his remarks , and at the close a vote ot thanks given to him for his able address . The meeting then quietly broke up . BACUP . —A public meeting was held at Bacup on the 12 th inst , which was addressed by Messrs F . Shackleton , W . Barker , II . Howarth , and W . Peel , agent of the National Association . The several speakers were loudly cheered throughout their

      obser-! vations . The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : — That in the present depressed state ot trade anything that would tend to increase the numbers of tho unemp loyed would be highly prejudicial to the public interests . That the demands of the Messrs Aitkin , if conceded by their hands , would have that tendency , and ought , therefore , to be resisted . That the attempt of Messrs Aitkin , arbitrarily and coercively , to deprive their hands of the free exercise of their legal rights , is an unwarrantable encroachment upon the freedom of Labour , which should be aa dearly cherished by the working classes as the freedom of trade is by their employers . Tho present attempt , therefore , of tbeie gentlemen to dictate to their hands nbat union they shall or shall not belong to , is as ridiculous as it is absurd , and ought , therefore , to be resisted .

      This meeting , thrrefnre , pledges itself to support tho bands thus thrown out of employment as long as they , by a peaceful course of conduct , need and deserve it .
