Timcke, Who Deserves Great Praise for Catering in Such a Splendid Manner, His Hononr and Bijah, Notes by Democrat, My Remarks Last Week about the Shop-Assistants Have Drawn the Following Communication from Mr. A. Mussett, General Secretary of the United Shop Assistants' Union, On Wednesday Evening the Labour Electoral Branch Was to Meet, When I Understand the Name of a Gentleman, a Genuine Labour Candidate, Was to Be Submitted to the Members Relative to the Representation of the Bootle Division, Mr. Daniels, the Labour Candidate for the Recent Contrast for Board of Guardians Presided, Leeds Leeds Notes, Workmen's Notes and Notions Birmingham, What a Lot a Body Don't Know, and the More He Knows the More He Finds That Out, I Have Excellent Reasons for Stating That the Upholsterers' Union, Established November 11th, 1890, Is Progressing in a Marked Manner, and That Such Is the Financial Position That Benefits in Accordance with the Rules Will Be Paid Next Month, Should Any Member Be so Unfortunate as to Require Them, The Other Day I Was Reading a Leading Article in the Daily Telegraph, Notes by Gas, Mr. Tom Mann Said He Hoped That the Fact He Had Had the Misfortune to Receive an Invitation to Sit on the Commission Would Not Preclude Him from Saying a Word on That Question, The Respectable Leeds Mercury, in an Article on the Demonstrations in Leeds and London, Said That the Leaders of the Unions Were Conspicuous by Their Absence, But, as I Said on a Former Occasion When Referring to the Labour Commission, There Is No Need to Fear That the Theories Alluded to by Lord George Will Be Damaged by the Facts That Will Be Adduced before the Commission, I See That "Soribler" Headed His Letter Last Week with His Usual Comments on the National Labour Union, As I Happen to Know "Lucifer" and His Surroundings, and the Atmosphere Which He Breathes, I Am All the More Surprised That He Should Attempt to Throw Cold Water on to Any Scheme Which Has for Its Object the Amelioration of the Condition of the Working Classes, But "Scientific Anarchists" Would Themselves Be the First to Acknowledge That While They Are Content to Preach the Doctrine of Moral Suasion, a Very Large Number of People Who Describe Themselves as Anarchists Avew the Utmost Contempt for "Moral Suasion;" and Not Only This, but They Advocate Not the Gradual but the Immediate Climination of Governmental Restraints, There Is to Be a Meeting of the Bootle Branch of the Labour Electoral Association on the 6th Inst. In Strand-Road, Bootle, Mr. Younghusband: I Don't See How You Could Waste a Pound upon That Rubbish, Mr. Councillor Dean Next Made a Short Speeces, The Carpenters and Joiners of London Have Crossed the Rubicon, So, My Dear Readers, after a Terrible Struggle of Eighteen Weeks, the Manningham Mills Strike Is Ended, The Workman's Times Can Be Obtained Wholesale or Retail at 14, Riby-Street, Grimsby, London Workmen and the Legal Eight Hours Imposing Procession through the West End, Ilkeston Notes, Notes by Merseyite, Notes by Hod-Carrier, Household Hints, Notes by Index, The New Union Begins Well on the Old Lines as Laid down by Our Whig and Tory Oppressors in the Making of This Law, A Curious Bill, Approximating the Season, I Find There Is Great Anxiety Being Expressed about the Time When the Next General Election Is Likely to Come Off, Stockton Notes, Of Course, the Superfine Dandies Who Do the Leaders for the Organs of the "Upper Suckles" Have Not Failed to Make Fun of the Hyde Park Demonstration on Sunday, Clickers and Rough Stuff Cutters Unfurl a New Banner, In Connection with the Question of Poor-Law Reform, I Have Had Another Atrocious Case Brought under My Notice, Boot and Shoe Notes, What Was Most Remarkable about the Discussion Was the Almost Absolute Unanimity of the Speakers, Notes by Bricklayer, I Wonder When the Government Will Hear the Last of the Imprisonment of Mr. J. H. Wilson, I See "Telephone" Has Been Making an Attack on "The Man from Bootle" Re the Borough Auditorship, Items of Interest and Invitations for Me to Attend Meetings May Be Left at the Barber's, 117, Tatton Street, Mr. Simpson and Other Prominent Members of the Joiners and Other Trade Societies Addressed the Meeting to the Same Purpose, and the Chairman Then Requested Names of Those Willing to Join the Union, a Request Responded to by Nearly Every Non-Unionist in the Meeting, Thus at One Stroke Doubling the Membership of the Society, In the Third Case, Connor V. Kent, the Conviction Was Quashed by the Court on an Informality, Bradford Bradford Notes, The Facts of the Famous Case Are as Follows, I Hope and Trust That None of the Men Who Have Joined the National Labour Federation in Our Town Will Go, Gentleman (Indignantly), A Man of Other Times, The "S. D. F." Had Four Platforms, and Their Orators Commanded Very Good Audiences, Whilst Standing Looking at the Vast Multitude of Workers, I Could Not Help Thinking What a Contrast Was Here Displayed in Our Social System, Labour Movements Abroad, On the Labour Commission a Very Animated Discussion Took Place, The Revolt of Labour, Barometrical Readings, Multiple News Items, The Contingent Then Marched En Route for the Ferry, Each Band Doing Justice to the Occasion, Hull Notes, Topics of the Times, The Bootmakers' Lock-Out at Braintree, Now Again, Mr. Editor, Must I Act or at Least Try to Act the Part of Corrector, The Liverpool City Council, Grimsby Notes, The Property Committee of the Corporation Have Refused to Grant the Use of the Corporation Field for the Eight Hours Demonstration on Sunday, or, as a Mate of Mine Says, They've Put the Screw on, and the Meeting Will Have to Be Held Elsewhere, If Held at All, On Saturday Night the International Tailors, Machinists, and Pressers' Union, of Which Mr. Lewis Lyons Is the President, Held a Demonstration against Sweating, The Lime-Kiln Club Don't Be Too Good, Our National Prosperity Wanted a Fairer Distribution, The Man Who Will Complain That a 20-minute Sermon Is Too Long Will Sit Half a Day Watching a Couple of Chess Players Making Two Moves, Mother:"Ella, You Have Been Playing All the Afternoon with Those Toy Soldiers, Ironplate Workers' Society, The Hartlepools Notes, Notes by Telephone, Among Other Prominent Labour Leaders, Mr. Ben Pickard Doesn't like the Commission, Now,"Telephone," Your Report of the Meeting of the Bootle Branch of the Labour Electoral Association,"Which Was Held in a Bar-Parlour of a Public-House" (the Station Hotel, Strand-Road), Is Nothing but a Tissue of Falsehoods, Well, Now, I Promised at the Beginning to Briefly Review Our Position, and Compare It with a Few Years Ago, and If You Are Not so Uncommonly Young, Mr. Editor, You Will Remember That Working Men Used to Be Taught by Their Betters to Be Contented with Their Lot, However Servile It Might Be, and Be Thankful That They Were Allowed to Eke out an Existence at All, and Not to Dare, under Pain of Excommunication, to Have Any Ambition as to Improving or Seeking to Improve Their Conditions, as Their Lowly Position Was Such as God Had Called Them to Occupy, and to Be Discontented, or Show Signs of Discontent, Would Be Descration, and Rewarded with Eternal Punishment, The Workman's Times Can Be Obtained Wholesale or Retail at Mr. Smith's, Jun, He Who Can Take Advice Is Sometimes Superior to Him Who Can Give It, Love Is the Weapon Which Omnipstence Reserved to Conquer Rebel Man When All the Rest Had Failed, Notice, Banbury Notes, Of Course the Anarchists Could Not Miss Such a Good Opportunity of Putting Themselves in Evidence, Rotherham Notes, Wage-Earners and Producers Need a Political Party Whose Aims and Objects Shall Be Solely to Advance Their Interests through Legislation, The Plymouth Intimidation Case Was Not, However, the Only Case of the Same Kind Heard by This Court of Appeal, Newcastle Notes, Curran V. Treleaven, or What Is Better Known as the Plymouth Intimidation Case, Raised the Same Points, but in Another Form, A Report, Necessarily Condensed, Owing to the Great Demands upon Our Space This Week, Appears Elsewhere of the Demonstration of Carpenters and Joiners Last Saturday, How Men with Minds Have Patiently Endured Such a State of Things so Long, I Don't Know, Saturday Was a Splendid Day, the Weather Striking a Great Contrast with That of the Previous Day, on Which Were Held the May-Day Processions and the Crowning of the May Queen, Our £100 Prize Offer, Bricklayers' Wages, And Now, Mr. Editor, as I Have Done with "Lucifer" on This Occasion, Trusting I Shall Not Have Offended Him, but Hoping in the Future He Will Not Be Led to Conclusions so Hastily regarding Such Movements and Their Results, I Will Briefly Review the Present Position of the Unskilled Masters of Labour, and Compare It with the Position of What They Were a Few Years Ago, and by That Means Leave the Public to Judge Wheather We Are in Keeping with the Times or Not by Advocating the Principle of Conciliation as a Means of Settling Labour Disputes, Now I Think the Comparison I Have Drawn, Though Brief, Will Be Sufficient to Show the Difference between the Working Men of To-Day and the Working Men of a Few Years Ago, The Workman's Times Can Be Had from the Following Places in Newcastle, Workmen's Notes and Notions Liverpool, Bootle, and Birkenhead, Walsall Notes, I Cannot Close My Notes This Week without Referring to the Death of My Friend and Brother, Fred. Greaves, The Workman's Future, What We Think, I Have Not Given All That Mr. Shipton Said, but I Think the above Is about the Sum and Substance of It, The Nottingkam Guardian Has Been Attempting, in Its Own Particular Way, to Point the Moral of the Manningham Strike, and in Doing so Only Displays Its Own Ignorance of the Most Elementary Facts in the Case, Why the Shop Assistants Should Want Another Platform, and Arrange It over the Heads of the Organisers of the Demonstration, Is a Matter That Calls for Explanation from Them, Coming, Now, to the Plymouth Appeal Case, and Mr. Shipton's Statement Thereon, He Said the Matter Was One of Vital Importance as Affecting Their Unions, Notes by John of Jarrow, The Cornish Fisherfork, Tom:"A Miss Is as Good as a Mile", The New Branch at Hinckley Is Going on Very Favourably, Gasworkers and General Labourers' Union, Manchester and Salford Notes, In Connection with This Matter, the London Correspondent of a Manchester Journal Writes, Wisely, and Slow; They Stumble That Run Fast, Mr. Bower and Mr. Potter Visited Several Societies Last Week and Monday, Hebburn Notes, It Is Urgently Requested That All Provincial Operatives Who Desire a Branch to Be Established Will Communicate at Once to the General Secretary, Electrical Trades' Union, 15, Union-Street, Portland-Road, Marylebone, The Discussion Was Continued by Mr. Walker, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Newstead, and Mr. McBean, the Only Dissentient Voice Being That of Mr. Newstead, Who Thought They Were Being Made the Catspaw of the Radical Party by That Resolution, "Was Your Elopement a Success?""Hardly", Nottingham and Notts Nottingham Notes, I Have Another Grievance to Lay before You This Week Connected with Union Men Also, Meetings Have Been Held at Belper, and Also at Sutton-In-Ashfield, in Support of the Hinckley Strikers, Notes by Shamus, About a Fortnight Ago Mr. George Livesey Reverted to the Twelve Hours System at Three of the Largest Works of the South Metropolitan Gas Company, the Three Smaller Stations Having Been Working on That System Ever since the Strike, By the Bye, I Had a Quiet Laugh to Myself When I Read "Telephone's" Notes Last Week, The Meeting at Sutton-In-Ashfield, on Thursday Week, in Support of the Strikers Was Very Encouraging in Many Respects, Enough of These Matters, However, Mr. G. Tooth, (Secretary S. D. F.) Supported the Resolution in an Admirable Speech. Editorial: I Suppose It Is Because We Have Everything in Such an Accentuated Form in London That We Are Compelled to Listen to Such Extravagant and Inflammatory Speeches as That Delivered in Hyde Park Last Friday, at the Demonstration of Anarchists, by Louise Michel, Notes by Brum, Notes by Lynx, Carrier Pigeons, Ben Tillett and Bradford Eastern Division Mr. Tillett Invited to Stand, Notes by Magneto, Leicester and Leicestershire Notes, A Bradford Correspondent Draws Our Attention to an Instance of Profit-Sharing Which, as He Says Rightly, Is Worthy of Some Attention, Children's Drolleries, We Will Take the Cases in Their Order as Heard, We Sight Hours Men Can Congratulate Ourselves on the Result, but Demonstrations Are Not All That Is Required, and on This Subject I Shall Have Something to Say Next Week.
