Mirers' Demonstration
Mirers' Demonstration A Huge Gathering. i, The Sliding Scale. I L WRIS I v.>oV'Afton of the Aberdare the South' Wales" ^leratioil. It turned out to bp a typical summer day, with the result that a strong contingent was formed at every lodge. The procession pre- ceding the meeting, after the various sec- tions had joined together, was: an extremely long one. The chief speakers of the day headed the procession, the Mountain Ash Brass Band under the conductorsliip of Mr. J. Griffiths, following. Other Bands lin attendance were the Aberdare Silver, con- ductor, Mr. Jesse Mauley Aberainan Silver, conductor, Mr. Harry Bentley; Cwmaman Brass, conductor, Mr. T. Eastwood. At the Public Park, where the meeting was held, an improvised platform had been erected, the vast audience seating them- selves on the grass. The Aberdare Town Band having, at the special request of the speakers, played" Marseillaise," The Chair- man (Mr. Henry Davies, Fforchaman), opened the meeting. Mr. C. B. Stanton was the first speaker, who moved the fol- lowing resolution That this demonstra- tion of the Aberdare District Miners' Federa- tion express our unabated confidence in our Federation as the best means of improving our position and advancing our interests generally. Secondly, that we strongly pro- test against those members who .voted against the Eight Hours Bill in the House of Commons, and call upon the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to endeavour by all legitimate means to bring about the same; believing as we do that eight hours arc quite long enough to be shut out of God's sunshine, at one of the most danger- ous occupations in existence. Thirdly, we protest in the strongest manner against the retrogade step taken by the present Govern- ment in enforcing a tax upon corn, thereby adding to the burden of the working classes, whom this obnoxious tax mostly affects, whilst royalties, unearned incomes, are left scot free. Fourthly, that we also, in the strongest possible manner, protest against the obnoxious Education Bill now before Parliament, believing as we do that it will be most harmful in its effects, an insult to the Nonconformist conscience, and another means of tightening the grip of the Clerical 9 n Party over Elementary Schools." In mov- ing'the resolution Mr. Stanton said that they were just now under a dark cloud. They knew what '93 and '98 meant. All they had endeavoured to do then was to obtain a living wage. All they expected from the employers at the end of the 'year T was honesty, justice and equity. It was true that the Scale had advanced their wages, but it was also true that it had ad- vanced the rent, food and clothing, while it had brought thousands of unskilled workers to the mines. He (the speaker) did not want a strike. But if the worst came to the worst, he hoped the workmen would be ready for. it, all(-[ save up all they could. Then they could tell the employers, "If you take liberties on us we shall make you pay dear for it." (Applause). If, at the end of six months time, another Sliding Scale agreement were come to, he (the speaker) with his district's approval, would not be a to it. It was nothing but amonkey-up- tl^Sfcick business. What they wanted was a BBnciliation Board, with a minimum v.wge (hear, hear), and a voice in the selling price of coal in the market. (Applause). In conclusion, Mr. Stanton dwelt on the neces- sity of weeding out the non-unionists from the collieries. The resolution was seconded by Mr, Illtyd Hopkins, Speaking ou tlie Cora Tax and Education Bill, lie said he was tempted to endorse the words of some per. son who said that he was glad of what [the Government had done. It would give a lesson to those who placed them in power. But, however, they as electors of Mertliyr and Aberdare were free from that reproach. (Applause). There was no likelihood of getting an Eight Hours Bill either from the Tory or Liberal Government. Altogether. 39 professed Liberals had voted against it while 33 professed Tories had voted in favour of it. The only thing left to them was to obtain it through the medium of the Federation. (Applause). Mr. T. Greenall, in rising to support the resolution, was given a hearty reception. He said the large gathering he witnessed that day spoke wellfor tlie future of the Aber- dare District. He was pleased to hear that the South Wales miners were dealing with the non-unionists so drastic as they were. He did not see why even the employers or the miners themselves should consider that there was a dark cloud overhanging them at z7' the present time. All the miners of South Wales were asking for had been done in Lancashire and the whole of the Midland Counties, affecting nearly 300,000 under- ground workmen. (Cheers). It was time for the workmen of South Wales to adopt a policy which meant that instead of prices ruling wages, wages should rule prices". (Loud applause). The man who descended into the bowels of the earth to produce that which the human race could not do without, was entitled to a wage on which he could live in respectability. (Applause). He was of opinion that if the people of South Wales generally were to suffer in connection with the change, then the entire responsibility would rest upon the employers. He (the speaker) had seen in the morning papers that an employer said lie saw no objection to the principle of a minimum wage, but, he added, 40 per cent. would not be aceepted or anything like it. Why, lie (Mr. Green- all) asked could not the employers of South Wales give 40 per cent. minimum upon the standard of ^1879 ? The 30 per cent. minimum which had been accepted and worked upon for years in the Midland Counties meant 40 per cent. on the 1879 rates. It was an admitted fact that the South Wales coal was the best that could be found in creation. Therefore, lie asked, if the employers could be serious when they said that under no condition of things could they grant 4^ ve- eerily- Mr. GreuiiJ-UsJ-' —ucii i( c, tut' miners closer together 1, L I, doing better %vo, in the future even than n the IJast. (Applause). Mr. Ben Davies further supported the re- solution in Welsh. He referred to the speech of Sir H. W. Tyler delivered to the shareholders of the Rhynmey Iron Co., in which he declared £ 103,868 nett profit. The House Coal men of Rhymney had been out for 10 months because the employers wanted them to cut bottom for nothing. It was a gross shame that the colliers should be expected to work for nothing whilst such huge profiits were being accumulated by the employers. Someone had told him (Mr. Davies) that they should not dabble in politics at all, but a Government that would tax the bread of their children deserved condemnation from every quarter. (Hear, hear). When the Chairman was about to put the resolution, a gentleman got up and proposed an amendment, that the reference to the Education Bill be deleted. This was seconded. On being put to the meeting five hands were held up in its favour. The original resolution was then carried. Mr. Augustus Davies proposed and Mr. John Davies, chairman of the Trades and Labour Council, seconded a hearty vote of thanks to the speakers. In replying Mr. Greenall said lie looked forward to a time when, in demanding jus- tice from their employers, they could by one signal lay the whole of the collieries idle from one end of the land to the other. Mr. Stanton thanked the lodges, secre- taries and committees of the various col- lieries for all they had done in helping to make the demonstration a success. Land of my Fathers was then sung by Mr. Walters.
