F. Einigungsamt. 699 The general plan observed by the weavers, when any were found paying lower than the rest, was to assemble and force the workers to carry home the work unfinished that was found contrary ‚to the statute law, Several manufactures were sworn out of trade, which was also found illegal and anserviceable. 5678. In the list you have given in of subscriptions in London, there is the name of Sir Robert Peel for 30 guineas? — Yes. F. Zu 8. 459, Anmerkung 1. Man strebt nach einem Einigungsamt. Handloom weavers Report 1834, 8. 62. 271. You have mentioned @ table of prices; is that the regulating system which has been described as boards of trade in the petition? — It is, and had worked well. But the great difficulty in Paisley, in these tables of prices or arrangements between the workman and his employer, arises from this: the weaver finds it his interest to support them, the manufacturers generally say it is not injurious to them as manufacturers, but they do not find the same interest as the weaver.

I know so few of the manufacturers; all those that I do know would cordially agree to the measure. I believe there are nearly 200 manufacturers in Paisley, and we have a few firm friends, and a very few strenuous opponents; and the great majority do not attend much to these things, if they can just carry on their business from day to day. That is my own opinion of the state of matters in Paisley. 873. You state that some of the houses are very anxious to have any mode of keeping up prices to a fair and adequate subsistence for
