of 27, Badsworth Road, as Clerk. Both officers commenced
their duties on 19th December, 1892.
Recommending : That the action of your Committee be
approved.
G. GIBBON, Chairman.
The Chairman read letter from the Old Kent Road
Branch of the National Union of Gas Workers' and General
Labourers' of Great Britain and Ireland, asking the Vestry
not to approve Mr. Robinson's appointment.
After some discussion the appointments were approved
by the Vestry.
On the 25th of January a deputation attended from the
following bodies:- United Democratic Committee, North
Camberwell Radical Club, Gas Workers' and General
Labourers' Union, North Camberwell Enterprise Radical
Club, South Peckham Liberal Club, Dulwich Radical Club,
and others to protest against the appointment of the present
Superintendent of the Labour Exchange. A Special Vestry
for the purpose of rescinding the appointment of Mr. Robinson
was held the same evening, when after discussion the
Vestry declined to rescind its resolution.
On February 8th the Committee reported to the Vestry
with reference to the wages to be paid to persons employed
through the Labour Exchange, and recommended: "That
it be an instruction to the Superintendent of the Labour
Exchange that on every occasion where men and women are
introduced to employers of labour it must be stated to both
parties that the trade union or recognised rate of wages and
hours of labour must be observed."
This recommendation was approved by the Vestry.
G. GIBBON, Chairman.
