      THE NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY THB KKCBSSITT , ADTANTAOES . FAULTS . AND

      INEFFICIENCIES OF TRADE SOCIETIES . TO THE CHABTIST PUBLIC Struggling Bboxbebs foe the Bights of LaboiiBj —When the soaabet niechRoic and mete employer of ; labourers , arose among our class , the divided interest of : tbe two classes became mo apparent as to suggest the necessity of establishing a society of each trade , to check encroachments on our daily bread ; and to take advantage of a rleo in prices of manufaetuiea and provisions , to obtain for the producer a fair share of the increase ; and , as these Trade Eatablisbmests became larger , the increasing encroachments rendered the preTentative societies mote necessary , and their duties the more arduous .

      Among the struggles against the wealthier and wealth-seeking class , those of trade societies have been the moat important Often have they attempted to increase the wages of labour ; oftener have they struggled , with the over-reaching employer , whose aTarioe led ; him to seek riches by " withholding the hire of the labourer ; " in other woids , cut down wages . Often have they , in their endeavours to obtain and maintain a ] "fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work , " been obliged to strike work , with a view to induce the oppressor to forego bis wicked purpose ; and bat too often have they , for the want of some substantial property to fall back upon , be « n obliged to return to their laborious occupations worse slaves than tkey came out ! ;

      These were , however , only the more prominent attempts of Tradea Unions . They have many and equally praiseworthy functions . Their existence have been one continued struggle against the numerous attempts of the employer to reduce prices . In all trades have they often saved their respective members or particular abopa , from suffering redaction * , by taking out the individual on whom redaction was attempted , and allowing him weekly payments according to the size of bis fatnily till be could get employment elsewhere . This indeed is one of their chief beneBts ; the chief object ; for which they are associated . When a member is j obliged to leave a town through want of employment , he is furnished with a travelling card , on which he la relieved is all towns where there is such a

      society , except London . They also award a certain sum at the death of a member or wife to deoently inter them ; and in some bodies they insure their members' tools against loss : by fire , which they can do at a much cheaper rate than ; the members could do it individually . All these advantages accrued to members and tradea under the old plan of local bodies ; bnt as the local bodies were frequently unable to maintain strikes without appealing to other local bodies for pecuniary aid , the idea suggested itself of consolidating all the local bodies of a trade int » one national body . Ssveial trades attended this , in various wayB ; but the nearest approach to a perfect system of national trade society , I think , is the Manchester Union of Operative Cabinet Makers ; the plan of which was drawn up by a meeting of delegates from variouB townB , and amended by a

      second delegate meeting . These have made great Improvement * on ordinary trade societies , to wit , the establishing of a universal system of relief for their tramps of one penny per mile , and the equalizing all the expences according to the somber of members . But this body , through faults that have beeu removed and faults that still exist , has been much reduced . And it la to be lamented that when theu rules set forth the simple way in which all faults may be xectifled , many lodges should have withdrawn without taking advantage of the rules and . their own right to seek amendment . However , several lodgesstiU remain in Union ; and othew are gradually falling in . being , by deu exper ienoe , brought to see that "the Union , " with all its faults , confers greater benefits than any local body can do . ' f . .

      Some of the most prominent faults of these bodies are the fines for non-attendance on certain lodge nights and conunitteea ; fines for refusing to serve on OOmmittees , and other . ^ bfiices ; fines for neglecting to clear the books on certain nights ; fines for being is arrears ; fines , to go to the secretary for summoning to pay arrearal thereby increasing a peor man ' ti arrears , inatoad of devising some means to prevent arrears ^ or some cheap and easy method te get them in ; and lastly , waes you leave them and wish to return , fines fc > r reKenteringi" T ^ e primary fault of these bodies has l » eei ^ tbat | . tb 63 b ^ noV ^> ea Bufficientiy bwtberly ; althbngh ^ meeting , ' 'f brother *• ha » ~ been coatinually on tfielr Hpfc "A 1 th ' ougii tii « y'Jtiad ; great and good ol ^ ects in ^' w , ' tbeif j ? l ans were not sufficiently extensive to effect their desires . ..

      The tiades , \ then , have establiahed local bodies , and proved them Inefffdmt ; seeing that they cou ! 4 not get sufflde ^) MaTib « r # tiifirJbiotbJa operatives Into them to make a sutoeiaful atand against , encTuaclunent They hats Wed , ' ^ oial bodie s ; aod though tiiey baveimpwnreioatooldplaus , fljeya ^ ajJU iseffleieBt i seeing th ^ are ^ sofiiclenUy adapted to the wants , wiahes ^ andf » eling « oft& ^ ^ ri : t ^^;^ M / M p ^? 0 rt ^^;; T ^ a ^ '' it ^ : : gr ^ amiehdations / and UI " such amendations let us tarn our

If local trade bodies have dbhei good ; to their trades and members ; if a "union" of several localities under on « elected , head extends and increases the benefit *; what an incalculable amount' of ; advantage would be derived from a consolidation of all trades and occupations , with their separate committees to arrange their own particular business ; with one elected council at the head , to execute the general business ; What immense

      advantage would accroe from tbe consolidation of their funds , to make purchase of property ; and employ the bands that may . be called out on strike , or thrown out of employ from any other cause . Thus would ! be saved to the members tbe vast sums of money that now annually goforatrikes and tramps ; Consider too , that the turnout and tramp would be placed in immediate comfort and independence . In time , we could gradually raise wages and prices to an equal remuneration with what w « could get In our own establishments , Our practical knowledge in -on * several businesses / would produce ultimately a general preference to our productions , and ensure to us a large share of the home market ; and if We felt inclined to seek it , of the foreign market also . And have we not a right to all these things ? Shall we not seek by suoh a union a part of the advantages I have enumerated ? Is It not worth our while to attempt such a union ?

      [ What we want now la a plan embracing all these points . We could sot bring the whole into operation Immediately , but we may by " little and by little , " as the society increases and the funds admit . . ¦ We should , however , have the whole road marked out clear . tbat we may commence the journey knowing the end thereof .

      In consequence of a rumour that several ; of Mr . Abel Buckley ' s h > nds had ; gone in to work during the d » y , the Committee , ^ itHn « on behalf of the turnouts , sent the bellman round to call another meeting at six o ' clock iu the evening . At this meeting Mullig was appointed Chairman ; and , ia opening the meeting , skid that a deputation bad waited upon Mr . Rayner during the day , to ask him . if he would pay the wagfia to : his hands , when he replied , that if they weulf be led by such a man as Pilling they maat go to him for their wages . Tho deputation replied , tha | if the men were satisfied , neither PHlidg nor any one else could bring them from their work . Pilling , in addressinR the meetiHg ; eaid that

      several of the masters had agreed that day to give the Hat price ! He exhorted them to unity of action . Lee and Wolfenden . afterwards , Bpoke itt the same strain , and said , that the report about Buckley ' s hands was untrue ; after which the meeting separated . J , . ' . ' .. / ¦ ' ' •/ . On Tuesday morning the meeting , which consisted of 1 , 500 persons , assembled about , fifteen minutes past four , when a cotton spinner , named Samuel WoJsteucrofti was called te the chair , aud beintroduced Lee to [ the meeting as the first speaker . Lee , on coming forward , was received with cheers / He said , he had j to inform them , that several o £ the masterBhad sent in to the committee to say , that

      they were quite willing to give the list price ; and the total number | of masters who had agreed to it was twenty . He wished to impress upon them , that they did not wane an advance , bat an equiUzsttion of wages ; for if ; some masters were allowed to pay something like ten per cent , under others , they would never do any good . He then read the names of several parties to the meeting , who , it was said , had gone in toprork . Wolfenden said , that the Stockport hands had met upon that question , and were looking up to them for something decisive . Ho hoped they would be true one towards another , until they ha ! d settled fcheir grievances . Pilling next spoke , and said , that the hands in the employ of Mr . Abel Buckley and Messrs . Mellor had agreed , although paidlthe best in the town , that they would

      not go to work until all the others went . He then read some calculations , which be said that he had made , relative to the factory system . He , referred them to the mill of Messrs . Whitakers' , of Hirst , am ? said , thatfthe amount of cloth produced at that establishment ] daily , would , if stitched together , reach twenty-pik miles in length . He begged of them to support a bill for shortening the hours of labour , sayingjthat it was working such long bqurs in the faotories that had ruined this country . He said , that if they were determined to stand by each other , they had better hold up their hands . —( A great many hands were held up amidat cheers ) . HewaB glad to see that feeling amongst them ; it told him that they would be victorious . The meeting was then adjourned till five in the evening .

      From our Manchester correpondent , or rather from the kind ( friend , who officiates for Mr . Dixon during his illness , we have received the following : — j Tuesday , A « g . 15 . The turn-out at Ashton-under-Lyne still continues . The operatives : keep assembling in great numbers , and all evince jthe utmost determination to remain out till their demands are complied wi'h . A large meeting was held yesterday morning ( Monday ) at which upwards of 20 , 000 persons were present . Not the slightest breach of the peace has yet occurred . There are scores of police men in disguise perambulating the town and neighbourhood .

      j Wednesday , Aug . 16 . Nothing of importance has transpired relative to the Ashton turn-outs since I last wrote . The same determination jis evinced by the operatives that has characterised them from he commencement of the strike , I had { a conversation last night with two very intelligent females from DukenfLeld , and they told me that thirty-six mills are entirely at a stand . 'Neither masters nor operatives seem disposed to give way ; so that it is impossible to foretell what will be the result . At present all is peaceable . The strike has not yet extended to Staley-bridge , but it is likely to do so ; as great dissatisfaction exists amongst the factory bperatiyes in that town .

      Leeds Woollen Markets . —Though there baa sot been quite so great a demand in the Coloured Halls this week as the last , there have yet been two pretty fair markets . In the White Hall there is much more doing . In wool and oil , also , there is more firmness , and trade , altogether , is better than it has been for some time . It must be understood , however , that the business done in both cloths and wools , consists of goods of low price , and of inferior quality . Leeds Corn Market , Tuesday , Aug .

Who could have ibongbt that tbs exposure made by tbe Trades of SheMeld , relative jto the extensive practice of foisting upon the world cast-metal knives and other east metal hardware as genuine steel , would have Jed to such important practical results ? Yei so it is . ' The anthori ties have fonnd ont , as set fonh by tbe Trades , that the practice of making cast-metal entlery with the marks ! of genuine cutlery , iB expressly contrary to an Act of Parliament ; and thej have had two manufacturers before them , and convicted them , one in tbe penalty of £ 1 , 395 and another in the penalty of £ 417 10 s ., besides tbe forfeiiure of the goods seized . i

      Now this is rather a strange proceeding is these "Free Trade" times I If there be any truth in uFree Trade " , these convictions fare manifestly unjust ! Free trade means free trade ; sot a trade hampered with pains and penalties . The Aet of Parliament under which these convictions bave taken place , was passed for the PROTECTION of the trade of Sheffield . A protected ' trade cannot be zfree one ; therefore these convictions are glaringly unjust ! True , there was fraud . True , there was chiaiery . Tree , there was roguery . But what of that ! What has these things to do with the question ? Is there more fraud than iu the use of shoddy and DenT 8 Dost I And are sot our manufacturers

      * free" to use those materials , and seU them as good wool ?

Monstrousisterferenee with "freedom * of trade ^ for the Sheffield magistrates to fine a mas £ 1 , 395 for mrrely cheating a-bit 1 And more ? monstrous still that there should be an Aet of Parliment to enable them to do so ! By all means let Job . Hume look to this . If he permits ' this act to lemain on the statute book « ne boor after Uus decision , without strenuous exertions to get it repealed , he is it traitor to Ms principles !! t

      The east-metal knives bave not osly been seized , but destroyed . The following is tbe account furnished by our own correspondent of the destruction : —Early on Saturday morning the following placard was extensively posted upon the walls of the town : — " Desteuctioh of Cotlebt . —Seixed under the 59 . Geo .

      y The interest excited on thiB occasion amongst the " blistered bands" was immense ; sod within half as hour of the time of ** destrnetion , " thousands of the woriiee vrere to be seen wending their Way to tbe destined spot with smiling countenances . At twelve o ' clock % body of tbe police' appeared , and after having cleared the steps , & cart drev ? up containing the forfeited goods . AsumberofmeBwitb . bamm . ers and anvils were in attendance . The Master Cutler then ascended the platform . aDdsflence being obtained , proceeded as follows : — " Gentlemen ; I now appear on a painful occasion to declare is tbe presence of this multitude , that spurious marked articles bave been stamped in this town . Such [ proceedings as these are destined to ruin the trade of the best town

      in tbe world . Sheffield stood pre-eminent for its cutlery ; but if such goods as you will see destroyed this da ; in the presence of thousands are suffered to he exported , we cannot expect to support ourselves at home , or sustain our trade abroad . England has always been famed for its commercial pursuits ; but if Sheffield persists in the manufacture of * Sow metal , * tbe world at large will bo longer give that celebrated tows credit for its manufactures . " Cheers followed this address of the Master Cutler ; and on the appearance of the baskets containing the spurious articles , the cheering was immense j The hammers wenttowork .

      THE ASHTON TURN-OUT . From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday we give the following particulars of the Ashton turn-out . Of course the reader will bear in mind the source from which the information is derived , and know how to interpret the ftas so very perceptible in it : — ¦ The turn-out in thirf town and neighbourhood still continues , contrary to the expectation of many persons . It was generally believed that Monday morning would have seen most of the operatives at their usual employment ; but , in consequence of the determined spirit manifested by the turn-out committee , this was prevented . The following is a summary of the proceedings since our last : —On Saturday , various shop-meetings were held for the purpose of

      talking over the course that should be adopted to compel the masters to pay the wages whips were due to those of the turn-outs who had left any work iu the warehouse , prerioualy to turning out . It was arranged that the hands of tho various mills should go in a body to their masters and endeavour to obtain payment . For this purpose , several of the mills were visited , and in one or two instances the hands succeeded in obtaining their wages . Some little disturbance waa created on Saturday afternoon by the workpeople in tbe employ of Mr . fiayser , in consequence of that gentleman telling them , that he would not pay their wagees until they ; returned to their employment . On receiving this , answer , the bands , to the number of about 200 , surrounded the

      gates of the mill , and expressed their determination to follow him home ; he consequently sent for the police , who on arriving at the mill , drove the people back , and prevented them following him through tbe streets j they afterwards quietly dispersed . On Saturday evening , about seven o clock , the turH-outs assembled at the usual place of meeting , when "General Lee" was called upon to preside . He iutroduoed Pilling to the meeting , who said , that- he wiBhed them to pay attention while he read over the names of those masters who had acted like m < ln by paying the wages of those who were in their employ . He said that some of the masters were endeavouring to drive ! them into work by keeping their wages from them-HCories of " They Bhan't" ) , —

      rat he trusted they would be disappointed . He begged to call their attention to a statement which bad been put forth to Ihe world by the London Times . That paper , in giving a report of the turnout had said , that the ^ magistrates were preparing for the worst , and it was expected that 200 or 300 special constables were tabout to be sworn in ; that two troops of soldiers were coming into the town , &c . He hoped they would pay no attention to such lying reports , but aot peaceably together . He concluded by correcting a statement which he had made in some former speech . Wolfendeu next spoke , and eulogised the press For the assistance it had rendered them , and he dosed the business by saying that he should preach a sermon on that ground on

      Sunday evening at six o ' clock , and he trusted they would bring their hymn books , and that there would be ; a good meeting . ; On Sunday morning :, the trains from Manchester brought an influx of visitors into the tows , consist ing principally of factory operatives , who , during the day , urght be seen strolling through the streets , anxiously waiting for the evening's meeting . In the evening , about six o ' clock , the place of meeting was crowded with' parsons from various parts of jthe county , in addition to the turn-outs . At the time appointed for'the meeting , to commence , Lee got into a cartj and gave out four verses ot the hymn commencing "O for a thousand tongues to jsiug , " which was sung . He afterwards offered up | a prayer , in which jhe implored the Almighty

      to pless their undertakings , and destroy all tyrants , < feo . He then asked for a Bibio ; oo one being handed to him , he directed their attention to the third cnapter Of Malachi i and the fifth verse— " And I will come near to you to judgment ; and I will beta swift witneBs * ' * against those that oppress the hireling in his wages . " He dwelt at length on the * passage , asd : called , upon bis hearers to consider well what bad been said to them . On closing tbe book , be began to enumerate those millownera who , he said , oppressed the hireling in bis * wages , and concluded by repeating some scraps off poetry denouncing the factory system . —Wolfenden moved the adjournment of the meeting to Monday morning , at five o ' clock ; after which they oahtLritAfi ¦ ¦ i **

      On Monday morning , between four asd five * the little piecers met and formed in procession , near to the usual place of meeting ; about twelve or fourteen were provided with penny whistles and alfew with fifes ; these headed the proceseion , and went playuig « upqugh the streetsi ; ttiey returned in about half m hour to the new ; square , where tfife turn-outs were assembled .

      The AKHT .-nCtjRipus Circumstance—On Monday week , the last [ division of the t > 4 th depot marched from , the barracks of this town- ( Tralee ) en route for Manchester . The excellent temperance band of the CaSUe-street rooms mardhed at their head , playing them out of town as far as Ballyseedy , a distance of about three miles and a half . As the baud * passed along the column on their return home , the soldiers took off their caps and heartily cheered the musical civilians . This' looks like " something in the wind " —don ' t it 1 On the division entering Killarney their band struck up ] Patrick's Day" amidst a vast assemblage of the , people which accompanied them into town . —Kerry Examiner .

      Dbsadful End . —Caution to Drinkers . —On Sunday last , James Holt , a farmer of Longfield , near Todmorden , was drinking nearly all the day .
