SlB , —I return job ~ my heartfelt ThanVw for the prompt manner in -which you have given insertion to tsj former letters on behalf of tie poor enslaved and tofl-trorn coal misers of this county ; and also loi the straightforward and manly manner in "which you have vindicated the lights of that much-injured class of Hieu . Several gross misstatemenia having appeared in the 'Whig papers to the detriment of the miners , I hope fiat you -will again extend your kindness towards . me , In your Tamable paper , in order to set the public right cm the matter . By eo so doing , you "will oblige , Toms , faithfully , Wat . Dixos . Usachester , Tec . ISti , 1843 .

      TO ISE PCBUC Mi dexr Friesds , —The cause of justice compels sne again to appear before you as the bumblB advocate cf the oppressed Coal Miners , to refute , and show tbe falsehood of various statements which have appeared in the ne-wspcpeia in the pay of the masters ; such state-Zteots hayine no foundation in fact . The first 1 shall call your attention to , is one that appeared in the Liverpool Times , and copied from that paper into the Manchester Guardian , of Dec . 6 th . to ihe effect—*• That tbe Coal Miners , previous to their Kstric&ig their hours of labour , were in the receipt of from £ 4 to £ 5 10 m . per fortnight ; but that by their oirn foolish acta they had reduced their wages to £ 3 er £ 3 10 * . per fortnight . " Now , allowing this to be tire

      truth , wbish I deny , they ought in common honesty to publish the ontgoinp as "well as tha incomings ; for a Coal Miner ' s wages should be estimated , not fey what he receives at the office , but vshat he is enabled ie take home to his seife and little ones . "Whilst they have paraded tbe £ 3 10 s . per fortoight , as the Miner ' s income , they have not said a word about the seventeen shiilixgs per week he has to pay for a drawer ; not a Word about the Ihree shillings per vxek for Hasting powder asd candles ; hot Hit me shitting per teeekio keep ia repair spade , picks , riddle , drilling tools , hammer , vxdga , Sft ~ No , no ; tola would not answer their purpose . Iheir desire is to deprive the Miner of public * ffmpaihy ; but this they shall not do , vo Jong as I can 'Wield a pen , and there is in existence a Noi them Star to are publicity to the truth .

      But , how stand the real facts of the case ? I will take the highest statement , and that a master ' s statement too—camely , £ 3 10 s . per fortnight , from which Redact ioridrarrm , £ 114 a . ; for candles , per fortnight , 6 s . ; and tools , 2 s . What is there , then , left for the poor family of the poor white slave who has toiJed for » fortnight in the bowels of the earth ? Why , £ l 8 s ., ( a 14 s . per week ! and the public must bear this in Tni-nA that this is according to tbe highest statement published by tbe masters ! But if we take the average , according to their own -showing , that the Miners receive from £ 3 to £ 3 10 s . per fortnight—say that £ 3 5 s . is tbe average , then , according to their own showing , they prove the cerrectnesa ot the statements that I nade in a former letter , that the Miners were working far Us . and 12 s . per week .

      In the paragraph before me , tbe writer says— "It will therefore be a great advantage to all parties , if this difference can be arranged by a compromise instead of a tnm-ont , which will inflict much injury on &e commerce of the country , as well as upon families and the poor ; and which , even if the colliers hold cot onto they and their families are half famished , win sot gain for them the amount of wages which they now demand . " Rom this paragraph the public would be led to befieve that the wages demanded by the Miners was something unreasonable ; and Qiat their getting it ¦ would inflict an iBjory on the public , and more particularly the poor . In my last I stated what that desnand was , via . £ 1 -pa week lor eight hours work per day . -But it is not the poor , but the " COTTON XOKDS , " that is the ofcject of the Kna solicitude * f

      this writer . It is they who dread tbe miner getting an advance . The advance which the public already pay for their coals would , if honestly applied , give the miner something like " a fair day ' s wages for a fair day's work , * and also leave one half to the Cotl Kings —being five-pence per ton more profit than they iad lefore the advance took place . Tbey are continually saving that they are giving their coals away . The public have a right to atk to ' whom do you give them ? It is not to them , tor the ? pay one shilling and eightpence per ton more than they did . Who then are the parties for whoa you rob the poor miner ? Why , the •» Irfrrds of the long chimnies . " These gentry are receiving as many-coals for 13 a . as the public receive for £ 1 Is . Therefore , it is bo wonder that that portion of the press which ii in their interest should do all in their power to mystify the public mind .

      Another paragraph says , that" The col liers in the neighbourhood of Wigan , and us doubt elsewhere , Zsave reduced the * get * of coals from twenty-lour or twenty-five baskets s-day , which they can bring up without difficulty to thirteen baskets . Thus -voluntarily sacrificing nearly half their wages , in order to induce tha stocks of coal , and to prepare for the turnout ,- which par informant considers certain to take place * bovt Christmas . " There ,. readers and coal miners , what think you of that ? Let us try bow this paragraph will stand examination . The writer says that the Miners of Wigan eould send twenty-four or twenty-STe tubs without fliffienlty . Come , that's not bad . ' Twenty-five -tubs of eoal will be betwixt eight and nine tons . Not much

      « ime<y to fill and riddle nine tons of coal in a place four feet high , to say nothing about the setting them . ' jKofcsssch iJjffieolty in naming some twenty miles per « Say With the basket empty and full » la this a iact ? It Is . la some of the pits they have to run seven or eight hundred yards on ths level and two or three hundred yards up the face end . No difficulty in running 300 or 1000 yaidj in s road not more than three feet as inches high I Supposing the mine to be four feet thick , the rails are laid on blocks of wood and then filled up with small dirt or coal slack , which take six Inches of the depth of the road away . Then riddle and £ 11 the basket , and run the same distance with it full to

      "the pit mouth . No difficulty in all this ! But suppose ffnt thtj conld send them , the statement before me says that before the restriction system commenced Miners eoold get £ i or £ 5 per fortnight . Now suppose they could sen&ihe twenty-four baskets per day , —which I deny , what would it make them ? Six shillings and sixpence at the outside , providing they wtre all coal and no alack . Deduct the drawers' wages , powder , candles , and tools , and where will be tbe * £ i and £ i per fortnight ? But we will leave ent tbe drawer and the other items , and it would , for twelve days , at twenty-four baskets per day , amount to £ 3 18 * . Now where is the £ i and £ 5 per fortnight ?

      It would be well for this informant to mind what he is about when he writes for the public press again , and to stick to the truth- Ha knows fall well that hla statements have no foundation in truth . 1 pledge myself that the Miners do not send , nor can they send more than nine score per fortnight , that is , nine times tweaty-fonr baskets , ¦ wbieh -would make then £ 2 14 a 6 d , out of which they have to pay the items before stated . Tbe Miners have more to complain of than the mere question of wages , for they are robbed of the little they

      do get by the ' Coax Ki . ngs , jmany of them compelling fhp " men to pnrebaie their blasting powder and candles of them , for which they charge 27 a . and 29 s per barrel of twety-five pounds , the market price of which is 19 & * and those who cannot afford to purchase a barrel they charge them seven pence per pound for it They-charge them seven pence per pound for candles , while as g » od can be bought in tbe shops by the single pound , for 5 | d . Talk of Dick Turpin or Jack Shepjxtrd , why they were fools whtn compared with the swindling " Coal Kijgs . "

      Having -said so much to the public I win now turn to tha Miners themselves . 1 told you in a former letter that the masters would leave no stone unturned to force you into a premature Strike . What has since transpired will , I think , -have convinced you that 1 was net wrong in Hjy opinion . I told yon that they would endeavour to throTryon into confusion . Several of the "Kix « s " that I could name have given their men an advance , f <* r the very purpose of destroying you , by throwing the apple of ffiscord Jamongst you . This is the way they Xtave done it : —they have given some of their men twopence of an advance , others fourpence , and others sixpence . And this too has been done by a member of the Universal Peace Society ¦ Well , nevermind them , go xoi keeping ( he production delete ihe consumption , and all trill vet be vctll . Don't slriK * for them laitH you are

      ready . At St . Helens they have tried another d »> dge ; they fcavs taken away the mes'B flre coal . When this -was * oae the men wrote to the Editor of the Liverjiv Hercury , stating the f urt * Th » t gentleman in hia next paper published a long list of falsehoods which 1 ara prevented by want of space , takiDg up one by one , and itfating point blank , as I eould do , each aad alL But one thing I must mentioa , and that is , instead of giving jjHblieiry to the letter of the Tsfen , he mid that their abatement was untrue . Well , I went to a prtlic meeting ob Wednesday weak , and when 1 got there I found the me » « oiug to the masters conBerning their fire coal . Tb « y Mid me how the Editor of tire Mtrturi had served And i

      * £ " ?; _ " » ai tell 7 oa bow I served -him . aaked the questio . pubBdy « the grievance they complained of was true ? Whtn the meetinz cried VA that '!* was . I then , tonaai v > Ybe Reporter and aald , Sir , youheai that , and ihopeyoB -win « ntra < jict jom former statement in your next paper , He did so . TbssoMtea tare also turned some of the active men ia the union off because they would not send what they termed ft-foll day ' s work op . If they think that their men are not sending a day's work , let them go down and send ai many as tbe men do , and then say &t night whether they nave not got a skin full of sore- bones . ! They woald *>> fak they bad done enough for a month , letislone-aday .

      In conclusion I tay to the Miners , get your organize-Moa complete , continue to work short time , and the Tletory ii « erialn .

      and say yon oinsc give your men what they -want , for we must have coals or our mills will stand , and that will ruin us . This will have a thousand times more influence upon tbe ] masters than anything you conld advance . Cheer up , then ; be , firm , be sober , be united and steady , and all will yet be welL And may the Cfod of justice defend you in your righteous strng ? la Wh . Dixom . Manchester , Die 18 , 1833 . P . S . —Since writing the above I have received the following communication from a friend on whose Y * ra-« tty I can depend : — :

      Bear Dbcon , —I take this opportunity of informing you of a gross and shameful act of tyranny that has been practised npon tbe Coal Miners iu the employ o ! the Earl of Balcarras . Old Bin wanted a piece of ribbing done , and he engaged fourteen of the men to complete the job and agreed to give them each & day ' s wage beside the coal that it made . But because they would not remain and finish it after sending a day ' s work of coal , he has robbed them of 3 b . each , and will not give them a penny ; but swears that if they summon him , he will take his oath that they agreed to finish it in one day . They did no auch thing—they agreed to do it for one day ' s wages . This is the way that the poor men are used by Iho masters and their tools .

      J . W . B . " Who is this old Dan ? His name is " Sedelan . " A sort of dogmas dog , and deputy underlooker for the Earl of Balcarras . A fellow that neither could or would send a day ' s work of coal in bis life before he got his present situation . It looks well for such ihingsu this to tarn tyrant i but I would advise him to be "very cautious what be does to the poor fellows trader Mm , lest the Earl gets to know of some of bis tricks , which would not be very pleasing to him . Look out Dan , for the men are for telling the Earl about the * . W . D .

      CASE OF THE BRADFORD COAL MINERS . TO THB EDITOR OF THE KOBTHEBN STAB . Bib , —The very liberal spirit of your widely extended journal , induces us the Coal Miners of Bradford and neighbourhood , to beg your insertion of the following from that body in your next number : — in April last , tbe Bowling Company reduced the wages of their coal miners 2 b . per week , or l-8 th of their wages , the wages allowed previous to that time being 163 . per wetk , the reduction in iron being stated as the reason for a reduction of our wages , bat that the wages should be again advanced in the event of a rise on iron . Since that time a more than ordinary demand for iron has taken place , and we have only received in advance half the sum reduced , or Is . per week : in

      additien to the required advance of Is . per week , -we look tor the privilege allowed to the men of our business Borne time ago , namely , coals for our own domestic use , which has been considered fey men of the present and past times , as forming a portion of their earning , and which , till of late years , has never been denied them , provided they paid expenses of carriage , &c . The men in the employ of Messrs . Rawson , Clayton , and Consen , require an advance of 6 d- per dczenof twentyfour corves , which , in foil employ would only make a difference of from 2 » . to 3 s . per week , and which would thea be only a portion of tbe amount reduced a few years since . Mr . George Pollard ' s men require an advance of 6 d . per d&tan for two pits , and 8 d . for another pit , which is the most difficult labour ; they

      also require the necessary tools for work , such as shovels , pickaxes , shats , 4 c . ; and the corves to be regular measure . The men in the employ of Messrs . Fairbank , Townend , Bentley , Balme , and others , have received the required advance , and we now await the determination of the masters who have not yet given it , trusting thit the same spirit may actuate them , as they must know the claims which the eolliers have to their protection is reasonable and just , and that the dangers and hardships endured by that most uBeful and deserving body of men will entitle them to a fair day ' s wages for a bard day ' s work . The Colliers hi thus calling the pnblic attention to their case , beg to state that no spirit of combination or

      insubordination to their employers have been tbe cause of this turn-out , but simply retei them to the facts above stated m to their earnings , to prove that they are in justice entitled to what they require . The hours of labour are , for day and night , ten hours each , which must be considered more than sufficient to breaths an unwholesome atmosphere . We require a shortening of the hours ot labour to eight hours instead of ten , which might enable us to enjoy for a brief period the cheering influence of the sun ; a privilege unknown to men in our business at this season of the year , Sundays excepted .

      Womingtok , Dec . 21 . —A delegate meeting of the Miners —Association of Cumberland , was held in the New Lodge Boom , Washington-street ; Mr . Joseph Palmer , from Bolton , in tbe chair .

The number of unemployed men are as follows-. —White * haven , 26 ; Oughtcrside , 9 ; total 35 . Sinfte our last account our numbers are reduced from 109 to 35 , and we hope the remaining thirty-five will get to work again very soon . We hope that eur strike will be a sufficient

      warning to other places before they take sveh a step as we have been driven toby insolent oppression . Consider w » n before you leap ; consult your brethren in other parts of the country—consult tbe Executive Council , as to your case . Think that nineteen weeks we have bad to stand a strike on account of men who have since signed the test—thus rendering our strike useless . Men , think of these things , because every failure on our part only tends to rivet our chains . A rash step is not easily recalled , but may do much harm . Then let Union ; only Union , be our watchword , Peace the Ebifcld of oux security , and Reason the sword of our strength .

Ob Tuesday two men whose names we have sot

      been able to obtain were killed by a fall of coals near West Bromwich . On Wednesday David Wedge was killed by a like cause at White House eoal pits . In the same neighbourhood , and near to the same place , John Banner and one horse were killed on the spotiby a large fail of coals , and other three men at the same time were so severely crushed that there is no hope of their recovery . Banner has not only left a family and large circle of friends to mourn his loss , but the union has been deprived of one of its most active local offleera . If there were one thing on earth that poor Banner was more proud of than another it was the unioB . He was highly respected and deservedly beloved by the Miners of South Staffordshire . Three out of the five killed this week , in this neighbourhood , were members of the anion .
