BURNING AN EFFIGY OF A MILL MANAGER
Thousands of mill hands from different mills in Preston joined en masse
on Wednesday night and formed a procession for the purpose of burning
an effigy of a weaving manager of the name of Wilson. This man, it seems,
was in the employ of Rattray and Simpson, manufacturers, Ribbleton Lane,
and for some time past, taking advantage of the authority entrusted to him,
had been in the habit of annoying, harrassing, and discharging work people for
the slightest or without the least provocation. As an instance of the petty
tyrany, he would interrogate the mill hands on a Monday morning as to where
they had been drinking on the Saturday night, buying their provisions, &c, and
if they did not comply with his wishes and go to the shops he pointed out, then
they were discharged.
In this way, many hands had to leave, others left of their own accord, and the
mill-owners suffering from this loss, discharged in turn the worthy potentate
himself. As an outward mark therefore, of an inward indignation they felt at his
conduct, the hands assembled at the Brickmakers' Arms beerhouse, New Hall
Lane, on Wednesday night, and having placed an effigy in a cart, and headed by
St. Ignatius' Fife and Drum Band, proceeded down New Hall Lane, through St.
Mary's Street into Ribbleton Lane, till they came to a brick kiln, on to of which
the 'martyr' was placed. The effigy was attired in a white linen jacket, black
trousers and vest, and the semblance of a watch chain hung from his pocket.
In front of him was written the inscription on a large board, "A Faithful Manager."
The inner parts were composed of straw, fire-lights, and other combustibles,
and to the sound of music, and amid deafening shouts, the "manager" was
reduced to ashes.
In the course of the procession the house of the manager was passed, where four
policemen were on guard; but no violence was offered, and the whole scene passed
off without any of the actors finding themselves in gaol for their pains.
