Lord will, ho shall bo tilled with tlie Spirit of understanding,” the A'icar (Rev. F. G. Ackerloy) said tliat it wa.s a loss, not only to Slaidburn but to the whole neighiiourhood. I t was right that they shuiild speak of his geniality, his ready symp:ithy with all, his ability to tell a good story, he was a man’s matt, and a woman’s m:in too. He was the best Rural Doan he Imd ever had the privi- lodge of serving under. They must not, how­ ever. 1)0 content tvith saying all this, but must ask what was tho secret of his person:ility. Some months ago he (the speaker) had occasion to rend a letter from.Air. Garnett to a meeting, and :ifterwards a jiriest Irom I Leeds remarked tlnit no one could Inive

There wa> uot a very .saLisfaotroy aiieiid-


aiue at the lialf-yeariy meeiiiig ol ciie Clitheroe Weavers’ Association held at tlio .Weavers’ institute, Couucilioi- Seedall pre­ siding, on .Monday evening. The balance slieet and auditor’s report were accepted and Air. W. Tomlinson was re-olected auditor. Tho Secretary, in addition to presenting the


printed report, made a loug statement ou various matters, elucidating many points raised by members. TJic report- was unani­ mously carried and tiie hour being then late it was resolved to hold an adjourned meeting in a lorinight’s time to deal with the election of committee men and to consider the question ul an alteration in the scales of contributions and benefits, as tlie present scales are in­ adequate to meet present day disputes." Fallowing are extracts from the report of


tlio Committee, prepared by tho Socreuiry (Mr. A. H. Cottam) ;—“ We have much pleasure in submitting our Ue[)ort for the first half'of the present year, and it is gratifying to bo able to state an increase of niembors* contributions, which is accounted for by tlie return of our lads to civil life, and also a uumber of our members joining up to the higher scales, which wo hope will be main­ tained. Your oflicials both locally and of the Ainalgaraatiou have been going through a very strenuous time on account of the agitation for sliorter hours and increased pay to meet the loss in wages that would ensue by .such re­ duction of working time. As you are aware. Wo have been partially .successful after a serious effort, but not without being forced to a strike which has caused a lo-s.s to the Society of £S6l 5s. old., for tlie half year, and we would strongly bring to the notice of our mem­ bers and tho workers in general the necessity of a stronger organisation lioth locally and through the Amalgatnation to l)uild up a strong figlitiiig fund, not only to get further improve­ ments in ilu* working conditions, but to main- taiti what we have already got, and be prepartxi for .my attack the employers may make at .some future dato. Tlii.s can only be done by increased contribution.s and a complete altera­ tion in scales of benefits. Wo would urge tlii.s matter to your immediate attention as we know not when the evil day may bo upon u>. With respect to tlic cotton trade in


general, we have good liopc.s to .s<Ki the whole of the machinery in full operation in they very near future and that it may lasSt for some time. With respect to tlie non-members, it is neccssa.ry to again point to tliem tliat by organised effort we have got a reduction of seven and a half hours per week with the same wages less three-pence four-fifth.s in every pound earned, and yet they Iiave not routri- hut<.*d a penny piece, nor lifted a little finger to get the same. How long has this to last? Tt is time the mask was lifted from their faces so that they may see daylight, and join their fellow workers, and help to do something for


the benefits they have already got.” ------ -------------
