      ' j i 1 "V _^ forthe ltm _** * The Central Committeei during the past week of nnKampled and important bnsiness , have felt it their duty to issue-th e ? following circular through the Trades 111 connexion with theAssociation , calling for the immediate collection of an additional levy of twopence in the pound for six _weeks r from the 1 st of December *—' * To the Members cf the _abovs Association . Nov . 22 _ud , 1847 . '

      _^ _GEs-rLEMEsr ,--The Central Committee have been imperatively called upon ( in consequence of the Manchester silk pickers' and weavers * strike , and many ot her heavy claims which are daily being made upon them for support ) not only to request most earnestly that the Trades forming the Association will pay . up the amount , due from their respective trades to its funds , up fo the present time forthwith , but to make an extra levy of two-pence in the pound , _in-order to meet these increased and increasing demands . The . said levy' to continue for six weeks , commencing' the 1 st of December .

      ' The Central Committee , in making this request , beg to' assure the members of . the Association * that they do it with extreine reluctance , knowing the difficulties to which many of their bodies are subjected , in consequence of the " great , depression in trade ; but , when' they reflect _thai the yieiry same cause -which produces -those difficulties is giving an impetus to the capitalist , to attempt to screw down the already scanty wages of-their workpeople to an unesarhpled ' _positionithey will doubtless ; unhesitatingly respond to tbe Central Committee ' s present call . * By order of the Central Committee , _! . _Thosas Bahbatt , Secretary . '

      Kttle need be added to the above brief circular , to justify this step on the . part of the Committee _^ Indeed _. from all parts of the country , repeated calls feave been made on the Central Committee to take this step ;; bnt they , knowing the severe pressure of the times on _nany of their suffering brethren , were _exceedin-jly _u _«* flilling to add in the reraote _*> t degree to their already severe _yrivatfaas .

In relation to the proceedings of the

      Central Committee in the case of tW . PW . wwl . wocK printers , it is not _nectary to enlarge npon it here , inasmuch as a _complete history of the whole affair has been printed , and is now in possession of the members , which statement the Central Committee offer as a complete justification of their conduct . It has been so pronounced in full meetings ofthe London Manchester , snd Sheffield dfitriefccommittees , andoi numerous local bodie ? , before many of whom the Crayford delegates had an opportunity of stating tbeir case . The Central Committee at first felt unwilling to take any step in refutation of the gross and palpable untruths put forth by someof these m-« msidetttc men . but from evidence now m their posof

      session of the un 8 crupuloui lengths to which some _thesepartieaare going , it becomes tbe Central Oommittee to emphatically caution all societies ih connexion with them , and the working c lasses generally , not to allow themselves to . act upoa tbe statements of these parties , without the most searching wqwry into their troth . , To any party of the trades who bivre not got , _apu wish to have tho Central Committee ' s reply-to 1 their appeal , a copy will be returned by post , 001 theienew sure ofa postage stamp . It is much to be regretted that the _rnorelationai portion of tbo London MocK printers do not take some effective measures to put » stop to those unwbe _proceedingsof their _<* el « 6 _at . s , as they are certainly doing their own cause an irreparable injury .

      Dear Sir ; I received your letter this evening , and was very muebsurprised when 1 read the ' con . tents or it . I little thought that a man like Gardner could so far degrade him « elf asto make use of _such _^ nmanly weapons as falsehoods ; to defend his position , as bringing disgrace and infamy upon the class to which ho , belongs ; for certainly _aueh conduct will recoil opon the head . of : those who have recourse to it .

I therefore would suggest * instead of my preparing a paragraph for the Nobihebn Star , that I should furai * h- _* fou ' w ith _^ the minutes of the proceedings , likewise with a copy of the resolutions passed atthe general meeting , when the beck printers case was the : object for consideration ; and by that means , as you are in possession of more facts than me , you could make proper use ofit , and pnt the information in its proper form and place .

      _En-ENDs-aa carry logout the business of the _National : _Associatlon-every one must-be aware of its difficult and compllcatedcharacter , and-that in the strict and impartial administration ot the laws-depends the _stabiUty-of ; the combination ; however 6 omennay find fault , or -cen-: sure the'Genital _Corjn-.- _tteRfOK'O acting ., But IMsithelr ; opinion-tbat the _gfifety-and prosperity of the Association is , and-will ever be , commensurate with an _undevioting ' adherence to the spirit of the ilaivs . Every one must . see that ifthe Jaw . are violated , or departed from dn any ; oase by theCentral , Committee , that they are unworthy ! of their office 8 ( iand unfit to conduct ihe _, affairs -of . ' complicated and extensive an _assoeiatipn ; as suoh -. vio ., letion _woeld be trtfiing with the highest interests of the : workingclasses . -Itis , therefore , the safest aud most ' successful polioy to adhere _uuflioahiagly . to the spirit ; and _intentisn _of-theffules .

      In our position we are able to _judge-of the adaptation _ofthis _institetiunto'Dieetthe wants & nt _** circuu > 8 _tanceti < of : the industrloas clae * ee and also of _ftiasrtainlrg ihe disposition bo generally manifested by thettrades , tn misinterpret the _lawfl , or twist them to suit -their own local -circumstances . _jNowtwdth all due respect to the trades , ¦ tiie Committee think that such a spirit-has an- injurious tendency . It does not tend to promote that ; spirit ef brotherhood , of _recipvoQlt- * , and universality anticipated _bf-the Association ; and . erery one must _«« o _tliatin tbis union of unions thc interests of all must fee equally and Impartially protected ; and that tho welfare , of one pertiQn . enght not , and will not , by tho Committee , be _sacrlficed-to the caprice of another ; If so , we may expect to witness a total failure in onr plans for labour ' s esaan . eipatioa .

      To . guMd the trades from _enror , and . as far as possible maintain * uniformity of opinion upon the meaning of the laws , -tbe Central Committee , in honour to them _, selves , and In ' unties to the Association , to explain the spirit asd original intention of certain rales , confirmed by their general practise , when _e-ifih rules are called Into operation ; and for want of due attention on the pert cf trades many difficulties and considerable unpleasantness has been experienced . Tbe rule to which wo will first advert to is , tb ? first resolution of the Manchester Conference , andco _tifittaed by the Birmingham ' Conference , ' Page 9 , where it states , —' _ThateschtradeBballbeloDg ' to the association sir months before eligible to rio _^ ive support . ' Now the object of this rula is that trades

      joining the association must bo sue montns member * _,, both in point of time and payments , before tbey can have the'slightest claim upon the association for support , not even for any grievance that may occur during * the term of their probation . For" as " the _Jala : does not allow the Central Committee to take up any case where the trade has not beea six months In the association , so does it not allow them to render _peoitniary aid to a trade ia resisting the aggressions of capitalists at the time tho sit month 6 expires ; and as the trade only becomes eligible to benefit atthe termination of sis dear _moBths , it can only have a legal claim for protection ngainst aggressions attempted from tho date oftheir elfelbilitv .

      Now the view taken by some trades bodies Is , that any infringement upbu their , prices that may have transpired during their six months' probation , the Central C jmmittee is bound to tate iip their _caso , and that if they strike and eupport thtmselres until tho expiration of their probationary term ; tbat then , they hare a legitimate claim for full aliment , and if not rewarded they Immediately denounce the association as incompetent to grapple with the difficulties of their trade . Now , the Central Commute unhesitatingly pronounce this to be an unqualifled misconstruction of the rule ; and that if such a course is tolerated , would subvert tne principles ofthe union , and the association , would be unable to sustain the demands thus made upon its funds for three months .

      To show the injustice of such an explication ofthe rule , it is only necessary to advert to the great disparity between the amount of levies paid into the association , and the amount of weekly strike pay allowed according to scale page 7 , rule 23 ; from which you will perceive t ~ - That the principle of levying the trades be at the rate of 3 d ia the pound per werit upon _thsir average earnirgs . ' This is the rate of payment , and to seo the contrast we take a trade at the average wages oflOs . per week ; ths amount of levy would be one penny per w-ek , _for-rnencepermoHth _, or thirteen pence per quarter , and for the entire term of probation two _sbtliiDge and two-pence ;

      ' J I I 1 "V^Forthe Ltm** * The Central ...

      while one week ' s strike pay would be seven _uni'linga and _sixpence , or twenty-one months ' . 'weekly lories . Now ,, ! the rule in question admits of , trades coming upon the association for pecuniary sipport as aoon as their six months' probation expires , where are the requisite funds to support them to come from ! Where must we recruit our . resources from ? and if we had the . wealth of the Bank of England at our command , would hot the adoption of _tuch a principle soon drain us-to the last f artMBg ! We trust , however , that the trades will ' take a more rational and common sense view ofthis question , and not give rise to any unnecessary disputes , that . only terminate in an unpleasantness .

      _lntaklng this view of tho rule , the Central Committee do not wish lt tobe understood that tbey will not endeavour to prevent reductions offered to _trad »» , ' ( not al ** . months members , ) by every means in their power . Jn many Instances they have by meditation effected . the withdrawal of serious reductions ; and procured considerable advances in the prices of others , by bringing to bear on their _behalfthemoral power of the association . This they have done , and are prepared to do the same again , when called upon , to the utmost oftheir power , but they cannot go , in any _casa that occurs , before tho trades have been six months _clsar paying bodies . '

      - Another law that has girenrlseto no small amount of _uBpleasantcest , is , the 9 ih resolution 0 ! the Birmingham Conference , * which rsquires , — ' That Individuals joining a trade * ' society , ' who . are more'than _sixr months members " " shall' be _psjiilg memberB _; three month- In reference before they are free _, the error into whieh tome trades havo fallen to this rule is , tbatifja small portion of a trade have been ¦* six months members , ' the other portion , even to an indefinite extent ; will become free , eligible members in ' three months . ' The Central Committee wiBhIt tobeunderstood that such a view'is decidly erroneous , and , if adopted , would auhvert ' one of the fundamental principles of tha

      _Hatlonal Association . The object ef the Conference in adopting such a resolution , as the one in question , was ' _*» h « * an-Inducement for individuals to join the _asioclatlohi by allowing them as such ; a short period of _probation , before ' _beinj-Jellglble u > aliment , ie . three months instead of six . " ' Bit that such a privilege must only be extended to Individuals , ih _' theh * isolated oapaoity _^ and not to Individuals in masses . This was the extensiouof Conference , and is the spirit of tho rule Itself ; and in _conforiniog to' wbicb' the Central Committee are onjy ' _dolng . their duty , and if they acted otherwise ; they would be compremisiog the general interests of the association , and expose its stability and prospeil : y tothe most _tinmlneht danger . Y

      Again , the resolution in question doss not apply to trades' who hare not completed their probation ; and individuals j . lining a trade' that'is not free , must be connected with the Association six mouths from the date of their entry , before they become entitled to bens . _; fit . ' - The privilege of' three months' is applicable oniy to'' indlvidualB joining a tradoB * body , who ere more than six months' member- , '' and not to _tradca who are on probation . ;' . ' ; ' . ' . " ' . ' " / The _Central-Gommlttae feel called upon to make theso explanatory _Temarks from _aereral unpleasant matters ,

      that have transpired through a misunderstanding of the rules alluded to ; ' and trust that the meraberj and Jocal ? _officers will aid them in carrying out the laws ofthe Association . It is tothe practical' working of the _Assoclatioa , that _weinust look lor the social and physloal redemption « f the workip ' g _' _ciaBBes ; . but , ' . if the ' rules are ' only _ptatially adminUiered , how can we _TsaUse these glorious purposes ? _< Tothe law and _testlmbny' is our advice , and whatever is done contrary to , or _incoasist- ent with this , ' will tend fo confusion and disappointment , and * fi < flect _disgrace and incompetency upon tb * heads of _* ear exeeutlve body _.

      Btake ourselves more useful members of _sooiety ; takiagour affairs into ourown hands , fighting our own battles , and _ceasing to do the dirty work of factions , by fighting the battles of either Whigs or Tories . _Thoughtless indeed , and void of either sense or feeling , must be the man who tamely Biibmits to the oppression and insult heaped upon his order , without trying . 'to better , their . condition , and destroy the monster cause ofthe people ' s ! wrongs—class _ilegfchtion . Nature never intended that man or woman should toil from birth to death fora paltry pittance from hand to mouth . Than rally for the cause oi human progression , and shout with heart and voice , * The Charter and No Surrender !' Joseph Morgan , sub-secretary .
