IUdcction or Wxom,—On Monday lent a
meeting of delegate* from the Sontk York*
•hire miner* Association wee MM at the
Prince-nf Wales Inn, Womb well, near Barns
ley. The delegatee presentrefreranted over
.era thousand member* MMnging In tM
„ «oclallon, and the meeting was speeuUy
oonrowl for the parpoee of taking into noa
•ideratioc tbs proposal made by the Coal
owners’ Association, that tbo workmen,
without font:el notice, should submit to a
redaction of fir e per oent. in tbs wages hi
therto paid, which appeared to be import
tit e, owing Jto the u oreaeion ia trade, the
reduction made ia the 1*1*0 of coal and tbo
wages paid in other dlatn't*. There was a
considerable diversity of opoion on the sub
I ject, Although it was admitted that the trade
was in a vary bad state. AgreeaMy to a re
solution come to at a meeting of oou'owner*
held at Barnsley on the 7th inst., it was
| stated that the following collieries had be*o
i called together and requested to submit to
I the reduction, eix : Wharncliffe Silketone,
Wombwell Main,' Darley Main, Edmund's
Main, and Swarthe Old Silkstoae, North
Gawber, Smithy-bridge, Load Hilt, Blacker
Main, Thornullfle Strabord Main, Darflsld
Mam, Silkstoae Fall, the Holmes, and the
Grange Oollieriee, near Rotherham. These
collieries employ four thousand union men
besides others not connected with the asso
ciation, and the answer giraa to the appli
cation, in most instances, was that it would
i be taken into consideration at a meeting of
| the delegatus. On the other hand it was
' slated that no fequest to submit to e reduo
tiun was made by the owners of the follow
; mg collieries, at which throe tbousaud nietn
j here of the Miners’ Codon were employed :
t <’barit* worth, Warren Vale, liigham and
| Dodwattb, Warsbora’ Park, East ttawler,
| Mount Osborn ami Ague Main, High Royd,
M'arr House, Aldwate Main, Iioaiay, sud
i Urighwide. The proprietors of tho leat
I named collieries, however, stated that ia toa.
I event of a reduction using suminitted to in the
the district they mould expect their men to
submatt o the eame terms. After dieouaa.ag
the matter for several hours no decision was
oome to, so that the question ef accepting
the redaction or otherwise was deferred to
’ arinotber meeting, until which it ia not ex
pected that the masters will take any as- j
tion.
\\l deeply regret that a large number of
| the colliers on strike in South Lancaehue
| have, in spite of the advice and reinon
- trances of their leaders, allowed themselves
to become involved in riotous proceedings,
, which can have no other effect than witb
, drawing public sympethy from the whole
1 body. Such folly cannot be too strongly do
I precated, and we are su-e none feel more re
gret at wha. has taken place than the leaders
and intelligent men amongst the great boJy.
As a matter of policy, the employer , who .
had obtained the services of several hundred \
' miners from Staffordshire to replace some ol
1 those who had struck, after consultation with
the local magistrates on Tuesday last, sent
' back to their homes the “black sheep’’ thus
j obtained, accompanied, however, by a threat'
to close the whole of the collieries in the dis
I triet. At all events, this course has remov
i td any pretext for further vioteuce on the
1 part of the men, aDd, in the interest of the
men themselves, we trust the violent and
! riotous conduct ol 'ie past week will not be ;
repeated. The men can ouly hope to gam ■
their object by the sympathy of the public, 1
1 and this sympathy certaiuiy cannot be ob- I
i tained by acts of violence aud outrage, and j
riotous conduct —London Bee Hive.
The members of the Wigan Miners’ Union
| bad a meeting. Six thousand eight hun
dred men wore reported, aud a resolution was
: passed that the reuucuon of fifteen per cent.
■ m wages shall be restated, and no terms ac
| • epted which take from the present wages
more than the last advance. It was resolved .
' that the strike stiuuld continue.
CO-OPERATIVE NEWS.
_
Co-operation on the Continent.
The co-operative societies of Paris are of
three descriptions—co operative manufacto
ries, co-operative stores, aud co-operative
banks. The latter formed as aids to the two
former. The manufactories date back to
16-18, the first few having been begotten of
the ideas current in the revolution of that
year. They now uumW 56. and comprise I
workers iu metal, sto.ie, wood, and woven
fabrics, engravers, painters, piano-forte mak
ers, tailors, aud translators. Their constitu
tions, and the rales proportioned to capital
und labor, vary. Among the oldest is the
| Society of Masons, known as Messrs. Buuyer,
Cotiadon, liaguard A Go., woo are the man- i
■ aging directors There are 81 members, of
1 wh im 12 are outside capitalists and 6k sliare
i holding workers. In addition to these there
arc l,kt/0 laborers employed, who are not
, shareholders, but may o-wuie so after work- ;
mg four months lor the Society. They sim
; ply receive daily waves. The capital iS-400,
lX)francs, jnd the yearly business teu times I
’ -nat anion •„ The managers each receive a ;
I .nod s.itsr , and benefit out of profits, both 1
on their .spital and their labor. The 611'
working shareholders have sixty per cent, of
the profits divided among them in propor- ;
j lion to tbeir earnings, and they, with the j
I outside capitalists, receive the other four- ;
| tenths of profits in proportion to capital in- j
reeled. The business being well conducted
and very profitable, all are fully Sitisfied.
1 The next must important company of the
kind .a that of the 8pectacle Makers, consti
I luted on much the same principles. It has
thirty members aud 200 non-shareholding
workers. Its dividends vary frost twelve to
j eighteen per cent. The society of lron
\ founders employing a hundred men gives six
| per cent, ta __one-r uth of profits to a
, reserve fund, one-twentieth to the manager,
j one-tenth to the non-suarehotding workers,
and the remaiuder to working shareholders,
in proportion to the amount individually
| earned. Tbs remaining » -cu. ties, though of
1 smaller scope, present more or less equally
I llattering statements proportionate to their
' size. Co-operative stores ’or supplying food
are still more numerous.

contracted for the erection of 84 cottages on
the Larkfleld estate, and with the grant by
tbe quarterly meeting of £20,000 they pur
pose to purchase or build dwelling houses in
other parts-ef the town.”
Wz feel mneb pleasure to find that the
advice we gave some weeks sinoe has been
taken and acted upon, and that ths two co
operative building companies forming in
lionuon have, in a practical spirit of oo-optr
ation, united their forces tegether, and will
from henceforward go on as one body. This
union will give increased efficiency to the
movement, and there can now ha no deobt
of its success.
Ws are Informed that the co-operative
store in Providence, Pa., a Oder very judim
aus management, with a capital of $6,468,
made, during the last six months, a ter can
tag e of eighteen and one-fifth an espies!, and
five and a-half on purchases and capital coat

boiling trade is innii>:ntil Derby. The la

“to resist the demand to the utmost.”

Glasgow.—The members of the United
Trades' Council, of Glasgow met in tbe Bell
Hotel on Wednesday evening. Mr. Charles
Lang, president in the chair. The secretary
reported that as instructed, ha bad sent cir
culars to a number of tbe trades of Glasgow
inviting them to sand representatives that
night to consider and determine whether to
send any representative to the proposed
meeting ot employers and workmen in Lou
don, with a view to coming to some amicable
understanding, and prevent tbe ruinous re
sults to both parties from strikes and lock
outs ; but he was sorry to say that none of
the parties written to had responded to the
invitation. After deliberation, the opinion
of the council, under tbs circumstances, was
that no representative to attend tbe proposed
meeting could be sent from Glasgow. Mr.
| Henderson having been appointed tress irer
| of the council, and no other business likely
’ for some time to come berore the council they
; agreed to adjourn their sitting* uutil Octo

Gxnita.—We regret to have to state that
‘he strike at Geneva is still going on We
announced last week that the dispute had
1 been settled by tbe employers having con
ceded a reduction of one hour in the day’s

tbe wages ten per cent., and that these terms
■ had been accepted by the men. Upon the
) men going to resame work, however, they
, found that tbe shops wore olosed against all
| those who had taken an active par: in tbe
I strike. The consequence of this tyrannical
and injudicious action on the part of the em
ployer* was, that the men, as k body, refused
to commerce work until this attempt to vic
timise the leaders was withdrawn, and, by
• the last accounts received, the strike was
| sGll continuing from tbe above cause,

them were arrested and oonveyed to gaol

their duty to abolish suoh laws sod provide
new guards ; their future security. Such
has been tbe patient suffering of the wealth
producing classes of the United States, and
such is now tbe necessity whioh constrain*
them to put forth an organised and united
effort for maintaining their natural rights,
which are imperilled by the insidious
schemes sod unwarranted aggressions of
unscrupulous bankers and usurers by means
of unwise sod corrupt legislation.
We further bold—That a» property or
wealth is the product of physioal or intel
lectual labor, employed in productive indus
try and in the distribution of tbe produo
I lions of labor ; that laborers ought of right,
and would, under „a just monetary eyeless
receive or retain the larger proportion of
; tbeir productions; that the wrongs, oppres
sions and destitution which laborer* are suf
fering in most departments of legitimate en
terprise and useful occupation, do not re
sult from insufficiency of prodnotioa bnt
from the unfair distribution of the products
of labor between non-producing capital and
| labor.
That money is the medium of distribution
‘ to non-producing capital and producing
I labor, the rate of i-i^est determining what.
proportion of tbe products at labor shall be
, awarded to capital for its use, and what to
labor for its productions ; that the power to
make money and legulate its value ia au
essential attribute of sovereignty, the exer
cise of which is by the Constitution of the
! United States wisely and properly granted to
; Congress, and it is the imperative duty of
Congress to institute it upon such a wise
and jaat basis that it shall be directly under
the control of the sovereign people who pro
duce tbe value it is designed to represent,
measure and exchange, that it may be a cor
rect and uniform standard of value, and dts
t tribute the products of labor equitably bet
ween capital and labor according to tbe
service or labor performed in their pro
duction.
That tbe law enacting th* so-called Na
tional Banking system is a delegation by
Congress of the sovereign power to make
money and regulate its value to a class of
irr- ponsible banking associations, thereby
giving to them the power to control the value
of all tbe property in the nation, and to fix
the rewards of labor in every department of
industry, and is inimical to the spirit of
liberty and subversive of the principles of
justice upon which our democratic repub
lican institutions are founded, and without
warrant in the Constitution ; justice, reasou
sod sound policy demand* its immediate re
peal and the substitution of legal-tender
Treasury notes as the exclasive currency of
tbe nauon.
That this money monopoly is tbe p* -ent
i of ail monopolies—the very root and essence
' of slavery—railroad, warehouse and all other
| monopolies, of whatever kind or natare, are
the outgrowth of aDd subservient to this
' power, and the means used by it to rob
'• the enterprising,industrial wealth-producing
' classes of the products of their talents and
I labor.
I That #, Government is •nstituted to pro
1 tect like and secure the lights of property,
I each should share its just and proper pn -
! portion of the burthens and sacrifices ne
i -canary for its maintenance and perpetuity,
! and that the exemption from taxation oi
bank capital and government bonds, bearing
■ double and bankrupting rates of interest, is
, s species of dsngeroos snd unjust class le
1 gislation opposed to the apirit of sur insti
tutions. and contrary to the principles oi
sound morality and enlightened reaeon.
That our monetary, financial and revenue
laws are in letter and spirit opposed to the
principles of freedom and equality upon
which our democratic republican institutions
are founded, there is in all their provisions
manifestly s studied design to shield non
producing capital from its just proportion of
the burthens necessary for the support of
the Government, imposing them mainly on
th« industrial weal lb-producing classes,
thereby condemning them to lives of un
remunerated toil, depriving them of the or
dinary conveniences and comforts of life:
of tbo time ana mesas necessary for social
enjoyment, intellectual culture and moral
improvement; and ultimately reducing them
to it state of practical servitude.
We further bold that while these un
righteous laws of distribution remain in
fores, laborers cannot, by any system of
. combination cr co-operation, scours their
natural rights. That the first snd most im
portint step towards the establishment c-f
the rights of labor, is the institution of n
system of true cu-operation between non
producing oapital and labor. That to elect
this most desirable object, money, the medi
um of distribution to oapital and labor,must
be instituted upon each a wise and just prin
ciple that instead of being a power to oen
tralise the wealth in the bonds of n few
bankers, usurers, middlemen and non-pro
ducers generally, it shall be a power that
will distribute products to produ.'ers in ec
oordaace with the labor or servioe performed
in their production—the servant and not the
master of labor This dens tbs natural
at* of labor will b« secured, and oo-oper
n in production and in the distribution
of products, will follow as a natural conse
quence. The weight will be lifted from tb*
back of the laborer, and the wealth produc
ing classes will have the time and the means
neesusary for social enjoyment, intellectual
culture and moral improvement, and the non
prodneing classes compelled to earn a living
by honest industry. We hold that this ean
1 be effected by the time oj treasury notit
| mad* a legal tinier in the payment of all
I debit public and private, ani convertible at
i the option of the bolder into Government
| bond*, bearing a jutt rate of inter**, tufi
cientiv below the rate of inereae* in the na
tional wealth by natural production, as to
y.-ake on equitable distribution of the pro
duct* ef labor between non producing capi
tal end labor, reserving to Ueugyess the
right to alter the asm* whan, in their judg
ment, the public interest would be |

That with ■ jurtnMp. •••kjtaWm# on

excessive toil sad afford the industrial otase
m tho time laid awaai nimmn for aooial
aad Intel leHual saltire. With tho rat* of
Merest at three per cent, on tbs govern
moot bonds, tbe national debt would bo h
qui dated within less than thirty yean with
out the imposition or collection of oao far
thing of taxes for that purpose. Thus it
would dieoenao with the hungry board of as
sessors, tax-gatherers and government splee
that are now harrasslag tbe industrial oil sees
and despoiling them of their sabsistenoe.
We further hold that it is essential to the
prosperity and happiness of the people aad
the stability of our Democratic Republican
Institutions, tbit the public domain be dis
tributed as widely as possible among the
people j a land monopoly being equally as
oppressive to tbe people and dangerous to
our institutions, as the present money mon
opoly. To prevent this the public lands
should be sold in reasonable quantities, and
to none but actual occupants, and to them
at tbe minimum price established by the
government When grants of ibe public
laods are deemed necessary for tbe encou
ragement of important public improvements,
the fes simple should not be convoyed, but
only the proceeds of tbe sale thereof.
VVe further hold thst intelligence and vir
tue in tbe sovereignty are necessary to a
wise administration of justice, and that as
our institutions are rounded upon the theory
of sovereignty m the people, in order to
their preservation and perpetuity, it-iithe
imperative duty of Congress to make such
wise end just regulations as shall afford all
the means of aequ ring the knowledge requi
site to tbe intelligent exercise of the privi
leges and duties pertaining to sovereignty,
and that Congress should ordain that eight
hours labor be.ween tbe rising and setting
of the sun shot Id constitute a day’s work
in all Coveratnet t works and places where
the National Government has exclusive ju
risdiction, sad that it is equally imperative
on the several States to make light provision
by legal enactment. Be it therefore unani
mously
Resolved, That oar &st duty is now to pro
vide u speedily is possible s system of g mersl
organization in accordance with the principles
herein more specifically at t forth, and that each
branch of industry shall be left to adopt its own
particular form of organization, subject only to
such restraint as may be urcess/ry to place
each organisation within line, so as to act in
harmony in all matter - per. aining to the wel
fare of the whole as - V as tsch of the parts,
and that it is the imperative duty of every man
in eaoh and every brane.i of industry to aid in
the formation of such labc r organisations in his
respective branch, and to connect hiuiself there
with.
oo-orsaiTivs.
Resolved, That in co-operation, based upon
just financial and revenue laus, we recognise a
sure and lasting remedy for the abuse of the
present industrial system, and that until the
laws of the nation can be remodelled so as to
recognize the rights of m--n iosteau of classes,
the system of co-operation carefully guarded
■ will do much to lessen the evil# of out present
system. We, therefore, bail with delight the
organisation of co operative mores and woHt
i shops, and would urge their formation in every
sectiau of the country, and in every branch of
l business.
| Resolved, Tuat ws pledge our individual
| and unditided support to the sewing women
' and daughter* of toil in this land, and would
solicit their hearty co-operation, knowing as
I we do, that uo class oi industry is so much in
need of having their condition ameliorated as
the factory operatives, sewing women, etc,, of
this country.
IMPROVED DWELLINGS FOR LABOR! US.
Resolved, That we would urgently call the
attention of the indust.ial classes to the subject
of teuement houses nod improved dwellings,
j believing it to be esseutial to the welfare oi the
whole community that a reform should be ef
fected in this respect, as th" experience of the
past has proven that vice, pauperism aud crime,
are the invariable attendants of the over-erowd
ed and illy veutilated dwellings of tin poor, and
urge upon the capitalists of the country atten
tion to the bleaaiugs to be derived froT. invest
ing their means in erecting such dwell: ngs.
STRIKES.
Resolved, That this Congress deprecates what
is familiarly kuown as* strikes among working
men, and recommend that every other honor
able means be exhausted before any such course
in re3orte I to.
INTELLECTUAL IMPROVEMENT.
Resolved, That tue formation of Mechanics
Institute's, Lyceums and Reading Rooms, and the
erection of buildings for that purpose, is recou*
mended to the workingmen in all cities and
towns, as a mean? ’ f a ’-arming their intellectual
and social improvement.
REMEDY FOR INSLKPICIENT WORK.
Resolved, That this Labor Congress would
most respectfully recommend to the workingmen
of the country, that, in case they are pressed
for want of employment, they proceed to the
public lands aud beco ne actual settlers, believ
ing that if the industry of the country can be
coupled with its natural advantages, it will re
sult both in individual relief and natioual ad
vantages.
Resolved, That where a workingman is found
! capable aud available for any office, the pre
I fcrence should iorariably be given to such per
son.
