If there were a Managers' Union started to-morrow, he would be one of the first to join, on principle. If the success of their Union was to be ideal, if the Union was to grow to be more permanent, it rested upon the members themselves to bring that about Be had haq aorne experience of their officials, Mr. John Ward, M.P., and Mr. Blase in particular, and he could assure them that so far as their head men were concerned, they were in the right hands. In his opinion, dur ing the oast five years there had beeen a oecided change racially in the labouring awe( of this country. lie thought the labouring man was better than ever before. He never saw drunkenness now to the extent that he used to see it amongst the labouring classes. The workingmen now had better homes their children acre bettee cared for, and at a class they were far better than they were five years aro, and he put this improvement down largely to the success of Unions. (Applause.) If they wanted their Union to continue to be successful, let each man try to bring new members miring the amnia! year, and he was sure those new members would never regret joining. (Applause.) MR. JOHN WARD, 11. P. Mr. John Ward, M.P., who was heartily remised on rising to respond, said the Union to him during the last 18 years had been prac tically himself; it had been everything, and all the energies he had possessed he had put into his organisation. Mt. Ward spoke reminiscently of the early (iays of the Union. and said he used to spend from, two to three months regularly in Bursiem, agitating the cause of the labourer and organising them into this body. He attended four arbitrations with reference to the wages connected with the labourers of the whole of the Potteries towns between 1880 and 1900, and he was pleased to say they were successful in advancing the rates of pay for labourers connected with the building industry 2 He remembered working on the Masonic Institute at Wandsworth Common, and he remembered perfectly well with what views he took up his pick and shovel and decided to strike out on a new career, wondering whether it would he successful, or whether the workingmen were utterly hopeless to their social condition; but he was glad to say that in spite of obstacles they had unquestionably been able to do an immense amount of good in raising the status of their workpeople, and giving to that section of the community known as the unskilled worker a senile of respectability and usefulness which he was afraid previously the unskilled worker did not possess, or at least, not in the way they would have liked him to have done. He did not say that trades unions had been entirely responsible for that; there had been many agencies at work such as the P.S.A. movement and the Brotherhood movement. The calling of. men together in a sort of fraternal way and the mixing of the different strata of their industrial and commercial society, had in his opinion made their working population during the past 25 years self-reliant; it had taught them how to respect themselves; it had, as a matter of fact, taught them how best to enjoy life and human existence. He believed that if the workingmen would only put their principles forward, if they were fair and reasonable end if they would state their grievances properly and fairly and squarely, as man to man, to those who required their services, they could always get something like decent and humane treatment from the men who employed them, and hence lie said. if their condition to-day was nut what they would like it to be, they might take it from him it was largely of their own making. whatever it was, whether good, bad. or indifferent. When the people of this locality raised their standard of intelligence, when they raised their ideal of what life ought to be, and the amount of enjoyment that should be got out of human existence, just in proportion as they raised their standard and their outlook upon the world, so the standard of cornforth both social, mental, and physical. would be improved, not only for them, but for those who were dependent apon them. This was the beginning of the nineteenth year, and h.. was appointed an officer of this society, having nearly 10.000 members when he was 22 years of age. Whatever his leadership might have been, it had always been the best that he could give, and lie hoped whatever calling those pre ent might be in that they would decide to give the hest they could iu the wprk they undertook. They must not merely work as it were irksomely; they must understand that after all the meanest thing in the world had to be done by someone. The scavenger was as useful as the watchmaker or the architect. (Applause.) Let them understand that they were no mean things creeping about a: it were to save themselves dishonourable graves! applause.) They were men, performing useful inactions in the world, and they weye entitled to respect and consideration from those who required their services, and he thought that when they stood together solidly one with another and demanded fair play. that fair play would be their portion. If they only questioned them selves sufficiently deeply and sufficiently clearly they would understand that if their interest had been neglected it had been due to themselves. Let them band themselves together as men, not to take advantage of anyone. but to see that they got definite and fair conditions of life and labour for the work which they did. (A pplan se.) This concluded the toast list. and a concert followed. which was given by the Spa Pierrots from Hanley. The varicus items on the programme were very good indeed, and were warmly applauded. The artistes were: Miss Annie Newmann ;soprano). Miss Lela Rayner (comedienne), Mr. Harry Barlow (bass). Mr. J. Maynard (tenor), Mr. J.

Full of years, full of honours, John Charles Bnckmaster, Justice of the Peace and District Councillor, has, after a life of nearly ninety years, spent in the following of honourable callings, and the pursuit of great passed to "that bourne from which no traveller returns." If to leave the world better than one found it is a joy at the end of life, then that joy must have been Mr. Buckmaster's ; for from the time of his early manhood he was engaged as practical and active worker in social and political efforts for the betterment of the condition of the people, and was privileged to continue his activities until within few days of the end of his long life. When he came to reside in this neighbourhood Mr. Buckmaster was already well stricken in years; but though an old man in years, his wonderful energy and vitality, his remarkable mental activity declared him to still young — younger than many men twenty years his junior. The story of his public life in this locality would fill a volume. We find him engaged a Justice of the Peace, regular at the weekly meetings of the Spelthorne Bench, and daily hearing cases, when the police required, the local police station. Anon, the Licensing Sessions, see him descending into the arena of the Coart plead with his unwilling colleagues to exercise their powers for the reduction the number public-houses. observe him in the last two decades of his life fighting several contested elections lor position on the local District Council. In season and out of season see him contending for the establishment Free Library Teddington, or pouring out the vials of bis wrath upon jerry builders and district councillors who palliated their sins against society. A keen controversialist, ho had attained great facility in speech and writing, and his flow of language was remarkable. He was a picturesque speaker, and carried conviction his hearers hj his transparent honesty, earnestness and persuasive eloouence. Had Mr. Buckmaster been trained for the Bar, must inevitably have achieved distinction. It difficult for those who have known this veteran only during the past twenty years, to realise that before rose upon the local horizon had already >pnii half century in social and political work. The late Mr. A. J. Mundella said of Mr. Buckmaster's early life that "some parts may read like romance." Those who are interested in the story his life may find it in " A Village Politician: The Life-Story of John Buckley." Left motherless at the age two, and his early years served in sufferings beyond the ordinary, the child's character stiffened and formed, and wrought in him the mettle and the courage that enabled him to give practical sympathy and assistance to the moral force section of the Chartist movement and throw himself unflinchingly into the Anti-Corn Law agitation, in spite of the fact that his relations were chiefly agriculturists, who in consequence disowned him. Through the enthusiasm and ability displayed in this agitation he attracted the attention of Lord Morpeth, who advised him to give up politics and turn his attention the growing cause public education. Says Mr. Mundella, " This was the turningand perhaps the savingpoint future life.*' Anon we see him at training college, and subsequently Government official the head teacher at juvenile convict establishment; after that science master a new tradeschool, and finally professor science and art, and lecturer upon cookery, under the Science and Art Department, South Kensington. It remarkable career, and Mr. Buckmaster was remarkable man. He had dear convictions. and the ability and the courage to stand for therm all times and all places. By his consistency and straightforwardness no fern than ov ths loros of his ability, won tha admiration man who were firmly opposed to him in their convictions. Teddington and Hampton Wick are the poorer for the of this devoted life from their midst; and in wide district around kindly, well-esteemed presence will sussed and mourned among men and women in all classes of society.

There were few local movements in which he did not take a practical interest, and at the time of his death he was chairman of three Education Committees. In his younger days Mr. Buckmaster took an active part in the Anti-Corn Law movement, and enjoyed the friendship of Richard Cobden and John Bright.

Ashleigh, Hampton Wick, which took place on Monday, 20th ult.. there has passed away an interesting personality whose memoir will "long kept green this district. Born "at Slupton more than 80 ago. when education had not obtained the prominent position in public estimation that it holds to-day, his own industry and exertions he rose "from the lowly occupation of " a farmer's boy" to a post of considerable prominence in the educational world. In fact, his decease numberless teachers and others of his acquaintance will fe-.-l that they have lost a valued friend. The late Mr. Buckmaster was one of the early students at Battersea Training College. He for a Iong time filled the post of schoolmaster at Parkhurst Prison, Isle of Wight, and later on was on the staff of the Trade Schools at Poplar and Wandsworth. Mr. Buckmaster's wide acquaintance with teachers was, however, due to his position as Organising Master of Schools and Classes under the South Kensington Science and Art Department. The remarkable success which attended his efforts in this post was largely due to the confidence inspired in the Elementary teachers the country, and to his nnfailing sympathy with their difficnlti.- Technical instruction in this country owes its present position very largely to Mr. Buckmaster's official work as the accredited organisations England Scotland have not failed to testify.

GREENWOOD (Peterborough) Ibeg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to an incident which occurred on 3rd November last near Uckfield, when a carted deer hunted by the Surrey staghounds, being dead-beat, and with one of its forelegs hanging from the fetlock, broken in an attempt to jump a fence, was worried by the hounds while vainly trying to limp away until the huntsman came up and killed it with a knife; whether he is aware that on 6th November last another carted deer, hunted by the Berks and Bucks stag-hounds, broke its neck in the course of the run in leaping into a lane; and whether, in view of the fact that such incidents are of frequent occurrence, and are inevitable when the sport is pursued under such conditions as prevail in the home counties, he will consider the desirability of so amending the Acts for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that such cases may be brought within their operation. MR. GLADSTONE My attention was not drawn to these particular incidents. I have stated before, in answer to a Question, that I think the hunting of carted deer is open to strong objection, but Iregret I am not in a position to make any promise of legislation. MR. BYLES (Salford, N.) Is not the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a private Member's Bill before the House which the Government could, by consent, press through? MR. GLADSTONE Yes, I am quite aware of that, and the Bill can be brought in again next session. [BNA: api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1908/dec/14/deer-hunting"19081214 FACTS FROM MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. Although political agitation in respect to unemployment has died down, at least for the present, in somewhat remarkable manner, the distress amongst worker# in many parts of London remains very acute. It was stated by Mr. Burns in the House of Commons yesterday that whereas 38, 678 unemployed had registen'd themselves in London to December 6, the number for whom work had actually been found was 4185. These figures leave very serious margin distress from unemployment, — although Mr. Burns declared in the Lobby, last night, that at least 10,000 men, who would not otherwise be work, had been provided with employment — from funds derived through rates, loans, and grants — by the Local Government Board, the Water Board, the London County Council, Central Unemployed Committee, borough councils, and distress committee-. Notwithstanding the efforts of these bodies, atx'ounts given by various London members, both Unionist and Liberal, of the acuteness the distress in their several constituencies show relatively abnormal industrial conditions in the present year. The views given to our tabby Correspondent are follows; Battersea. Mr. Burns claims that there are proportionately fewer men out work Battersea than in roost other parts of the metropolis. ascribe# this the existence, in his particular district, of parks and common-, where London County Council have been able find a good deal of work for extra bands. For instance, ISO men ere employed this way Clapham Common, 70 men in Battersea Park, and others Tooting and Wandsworth Commons. Clapham. The distress in Clapham proper, says Mr. Percy Thornton, decidedly worae than it was the foregoing year; but it has slightly improved, according the reports him by those who are position to judge, since the question of unemployment waa discussed recently in the House of Commons. Mr. Thornton admits that the improvement is due to the endeavours of the London County Council and the Local Government Board. [BNA:
