TRADE UNIONISM. A T ———— MEETING AT CONNAH'S QUAY. ) On Saturday evening a meeting ot tne mem- j bers of the Dock, Wharf, Riverside, and Gonoral Workers' Union was held in the gardens of the Hare and llounds Hotel. Mr. John Huiton occupied the chair, and in the course of a short address t-aid he hoped tho men of the district would grasp the idea and enter fully into tiie spirit of trades unionism. The trades organisa- tions in the country had without. doubt not. only improved the conditions under which men earned their living, but in many cases had proved of great benefit to the employers also. (Applause.) He trusted as a result of that meeting that many men now employed at 1 Hawarden Bridge Works would enrol t-hein- selves as m-embers, and that there would be a redres« of some of the grievances from which the men suffered in various departments of the work. grievances which, if only brought to the notice of their employers through the medium of their organisation, would be favourably con- sidercd. (Applause.) He iiad great pleasure in inviting Mr. Wignall, of South Waics, to address the meeting. Mr. Wignall, who occupies the position of organising secretary for tho South Wale* district, said ho was going as a delegate to represent his union at the Trades Union Con- gress in Liverfjool. lie said he came from a di-trict in whivh their union was very strong, having a membership of between 8.000 and 9.000; and, when '?M things had ocn taken into consideration, the organisation had proved I :ioA successful, and had improved the conditions of the worker in that large and populous industrial centre. The iiicii had realised what Trades unionism had done for them, both collectively and individually; but success could only be attained proportionately to the enthusiasm that the men displayed in the work of the urron. He wanted thetn to be imbued with the real spirit cf trades unionism. He wanted them lo be faithful a-id energetic in tho work of -,fie union, because their leaders would have far greater influence in approaching their em- ployers if they had a strong and solid organisa- tion at their back. They had had their diffi- culties to con tend with in South Wales. There were the GilbertK>ns, who were bitterly cppc-ed to trade unions, and would Dot employ a mem- ber of a union at their works, and would not even meet the representatives of the men. These employers, hard as they were, now pathy with the objects V1H> union had m view "by employing no men at their works who were not members of tho union. (Applause.) They were pleased to testify that it had proved a benefit to them. As employers they had their agreements, and both employers and incai faith- fully adhered to them. If the nien had a grievance iliey were only too ready to to them. The despicable system of petty masters and contractors had been done away witj; in I-lie South Wales work. and tbo men now had fixed rates for their labour, and were Poot ground down by these "under hugs" who sweated the life out of tho men. They were now only responsible to the recognised orheiuls of the vvorko. and as a result of this dr;i.-dc change in their condition the men were now receiving, in some cases, SO to 100 per cent, more wages. (Applause.) Ihese men were grateful for what had been done for them, and he was sure that in the Connah's Quay district, which was raprily growing into an impcr ant industrial centre, if the men only enrolled them- selves as members, the conditions of work under which they now toiled would be changed, and they would also receive a large quota of the v.eaiUi which they were the mean* of producing. Tiiey fully recognised that the mat.wrs were entitled, and that they did not envv. In conclusion, Mr. Wignall claimed that the union had played an important part on behalf of tho men in Sout,h Wales, and if the men in the Connah's Quay district would only nrove y a I to the.r or?ani?a.tion they wou:ù O{)(;U; for them the amc conditions of labour a? ,e- ti,tzt l?he FzLnie c7,,?,ii d tiolls o?Ii.Lotir a. ,r, I "<tcr6 mid men, a? in South Waie? ((.&«,-6 The Chairman said he thought they all must have enjoyed and appreciated Mr. Wignaii'a address. He had shewn what could be acoom- plished by good organisation and lovally tl), men. In the packing shop* at Mes«rs. John Summers and Sons they had their grievances. They did not for a moment blame Uieir employers, but those under them, who had to secure certain bonuses, made- the conditions under which they worked Tiothing- better than s'avery. (Hear, hear.) This state of affairs required remedying, and if the men were loyal one to another he felt sure tea: a change would be effected that roust prove of great benefit to the general body of workers. (Applause.) Short addresses were given by ot her members of the local branch, and the proceedings ter- minated with a vote of thanks to Mr. Wuniail and to the chairman for presiding.

former has only turned out oil four occasions this season, but he played fine, careful cricket, and g-ave a capital exhibition of free batting. Ho. however, was aliased on no fewer than six occasions. Orosa, after batting patiently for a dozen, was caught, while A. E. Kennerley, the new-oomer, suffered a similar fate. How aid helped Hutchiugs to put on nearly 50 runs be- faro being well taken in the slips. Hutohings carried out his bat for 106. the highest. scone of the season, Cross, with 102 (not out) being the previous beet- Included in Hutohings 3 scoro were two beautiful on-drives clean out of tho field for six, twelve fours, and 16 twos. A declaxeaion was niatto with seven wicketa down for 166, leaving the visitors insufficient time to malw the necessary runs- llio risitoiis commenced with Sergt. Night, who, by tho way, is the proud possessor of a V.C. for gallantry in South Afrioa, and Baxter, tho bowling being entrusted to Jeacock and the Rev. OorfkJxL A disastrous start was effected, Baxter being clean bowled by Corfield at four, and Mill-Ward, tho now-oomer, receiving his quietus at the hands of Jeacock immediately afterwards. Carson and Pkapomt, however, shewtsi & sterling defence, and quickly aug- roenfcod the score, and caused & change in tho atback. ll%e former compiled 36 in freo style, making five boundary strokes Pierpoint followed with a meritorious and patiently-played 14 (not out). Time was eventually called with the Warrington team's score at 85 for six wickets. Jeaoock took two wiokets for 32 runs, Ktul Cbrfield throe wiokets for 40 runs. Frodsham have played 14 matches, of which they have won four, drawn six, and lost four. The unusual number of drawn games is to bo accounted for by the frequency of late starts, and in some eases early conclusions. The team have made 1.285 runs against their opponents 1,096. The return inatoh between Hawarden and Iluntroyde (Wrexham) took place at Hawarden Park on Saturday, when, in spite of the tropical weather, a most interesting game ensued. The homo team batted first, H. B. Toiler and Lane opening the ijidings. 'roller was in capital form, although he undoubtedly gave one or two chances early on in the game. He, however, scored 49 with splendid cricket, and carried out his bat, His innings comprise d 11 boundaries. Lane, after scoring a singlo, was bowled by Moss. W. Astbury and J. Jonea did excellent work for their side, scoring 15 and 14 respectively. They we?e ultimately both caugbt off Moore s tnbde dclivcrios. The same trund!er secured tho dismiwal of Geo. Weigh for Ibw. The tail end were utterly powerless against Johnson s bowling, Dr. Roberta, N. Sutcliffo and E. Rat- cliffe all being dismissed without scoring. TOO innings closed for 94 ruris, Hun troy de made rather a disa:strous start, losing three wickets for only 15 runs. Lane bowled in excellent style, taking no less than five wickets at a cost of 23 runs. He dismissed Cain, of the Denhigb. 6him county team, who scored nine runs, The niatch ended in a draw, in favour of Hawarden, the visitors' score being 68 for seven wickets. J. Hilditch was top scorer for his side, obtain- ing 16 runs. The fielding of the Hawarden men was decidedly good, the only extra being a wide. Buckley closed their season at home on Sat- urdav, when ?y r.cci? a vi?t from Helsby, ?.hoa few w? ago d?«d them m the final round of the Chester and Distno,, Cup. On that occasion the wicket was a vory eoddm one, and did not at all suit the fast bowling of the Buck- ley men. On S?tur?y. however, it. was proved that with a hard and fast wicket a d?er- ent complexion might have been put on the game. Helsby batted first, and started with F. Cartwright, and W. March, to the bowling of the brothers Pete is. Runs came freely until Davison, who replaced J. Peters, caught bowled F. Cartwright with the score &.t 27. With the exception of Cowap, who hit 23 (including five fours), and Marsh, who &cored 18, none of the other batsmen made any stand, and the inn- ings closed for 69, Mr. Extras contributing ten. Arthur Peters bowled magnificently, taking six wiokets for 15 runs, three of the wickets being secured in one over. Ilia, remaining w-ckcta 'f Davi-n an d woro divided by Joe Peters, T. J. Daviwn and J. Lindop. Buckley started badly, losing J. Lindop, L. Lindop and T. J. Davison with only eleven urns on the board. With W Lindop and Piercy to- gether, however, the score was taken to 34 eie Piercy was bowled for 13. The pai-tierfhip of W. Lindop and the Rev.

Buckley 2nd visit-ed Roaeett on Saturday with a very weak team, and were fortunate in effecting a draw. Rossett batted first, and com- piled 85, W. T. Sprent, jun., coming out top scorer with 22 runs, being followed by S. Sweeney 18, J. Matthews 13 and W. S. Sprent sen 12 runs. T. Roberts was the most successful bowler for Buckley, securing three wickets for 13 runs. He was followed by H. Davison with two wicket8 for 9 rtiti6 and J. Hayes and F. Iball each one wicket for 6 runs. Buckley had made 21 for four wickets when stumps were drawn. Neston entertained Birkenhead Park on Satur- day at Parkgatc in ideal weather. Winning the toes the home team took first ninuigs, and quickly lost four wickets for 47. F. Cramer- Roberts and Gilling made a fine stand for the fifth wicket, adding 72 runs Gilling's share elnrr 34. The next wicket added 36, Cramer- fcorxJrrs doing most of the scoring. Six wickets down for 155 looked very promising, but when Cramer-Roberta left at the same total the last few wickets only added five runs, the innings totalling 162. Cramor Roberta's display was very fine, although marred by a couple of IChances in the slips. Otherwise his driving and cutting were very clean. With just two hours lio make the runs, an interesting finish was anticipated, but the match was practically over from the start, as the batsmen found the bowl- ing just suitable for quick scoring. Smith and Jones helped themselves to 64 for the first ■ricket, and Marshall and Jones added a further 52. Brown did not stay long, but Chadwick and Marshall scored 35 more for the fourth wicket. Then Morrice and Rogers did the nece«5 iry and in addition to the runs wanted Bcored another 24, the Park t.hus winning com- fortably by 24 rune and five wickets, with plenty nf time to spare. Arthur Gilling was the most successful bowler for the home side, his two vicketfi costing just 50 rune. Sandycroft C.C. had a field day last Saturday in Mostyn Park. The weather was ideal for cricket, and the club took advantage of the occasion to entertain about 45 ladies and gentle- men in the picturesque park and Its surround- ings. Sandycroft wen the tcss, but as they had put. the homo team to considerable incon- venience through being late, they courteously allowed Mostyn to bat first. Watson (pro.) and J. Ingtis opened the innings to the bowling of Bairstow and Let man, and in playing a shoot- ing ball from Lctmari Inglis gave the howler mi easy oatch. Rowen filled the vacancy and commenced hitting out, but when his score stood at 11 he was caught by the wicket-keeper. W. Buloock followed, and he and Watson J>u.uished the bowling severely. Bulcock was vmartly eajight in the slips by W. Jones after contributing 36 in capital style. His score in- cluded seven fcure. R. W. Roberts with Wat- eon took the score up to 150, when the home aide declared. Watson carried out his bat for a splendid innings of 73, which included nine boundaries. Hilditch and Criffiths opened the Sandycroft innings to. tho bowling of Watson and Roberts. With fiva runs registered Hilditch was bcat<?b. with a splendid ball from Watson. Bairstow came in, and he, too, was beaten by Watson with his sooro at four. Rirchall met the same fate. T. W. Lewis (oa.pta.in) filled the vacancy, and, together with Griffiths, played carefully und j^srted what seemed likely to bo a disaster. With the total at 29, GriEW%o was unfortunately bowled off his pad by Watson. Tre the way curve in and was run out before opening his account, B. Pany filled the vacancy, aud took the score to 44 before receiving his dismissal. Lewis was soon rendered hors de combat, being beaten with a splendidly pitched ball from Roberta after sooring 29. Eventually time was declared with the visitors batting, so the match ended in a draw very much in favour of the home team. Inco concluded the season on Saturday with a good win against Alvanley on tho latter's ground. Ince batted fiist, W. Nield and Has- sall taking first knock. The wicket proved a fast one, but Nield gave a good account of him- self, and after making 13 was unfortunate in being run out. Hassall was soon dismissed. Capt. Wyatt followed, and gave a masterly ex- hibition of dean and hard hitting for his 23 runs. Another successful stand was made by A. Cooke, his 18 including four boundaries. Eventually the innings closed for 84. A. Hal- ford and A. Booth bowled well for Alvanley. Alvanley commenced badly, losing several of then- best, bats for a small total. A. Halford made a determined effort to stem tho torrent of disaster which threatened to overwhelm his sidle, but it was all to no purpose. Nid and Hassail, the Ince bowlers, proved most destructive, the former gaining five wickets for nine runs, and the latter five wickets for 16 runs. The end soon came with' the total at 27. Ince, after a somewhat bad start at the com- mencement of the season, have fur shed up in a fairly satisfactory manner. FIXTURES.
