The annual meeting of the members of the Church Institute was held on Wednesday evening , wheh a most gratifying account of the past year's working was brought forward by the joint secretaries , Mr. E. P. Lloyd and Mr. Hubert Reynolds , and the treasurer , Mr. Harding . The secretaries and committee are very much to be congratulated upon the very satisfactory state of affairs and the great success that has attended the extension of sphere of influence of the Institute in the admission of lady members . The membership of the Institute has now reached a total of 185 ; this includes 91 lady members , a fact which speaks volumes for the good work of the energetic Ladies Committee and their excellent secretaries , Mrs. Craddock and Mrs. Wynne .

Under the auspices of the Workers ' Union a meeting was held on Sunday afternoon in the Parish Hall . Mr. S. Box , prospective Labour Candidate for the Hereford Division presided over an attendance which was one of the best that has been seen at such a meeting in Leominster and which included à large number of agri- cultural labourers . He was supported by Ald . Morley , of Halifax , prospective Labour Candidate for Doncaster , and Mr. Williams , the Branch Secretary . The Chairman in outlining the past history of the Workers Union in the district , said that within three months of the outbreak of war upwards of 1,700 of their members in the county had enlisted , proving that the class of man who was prepared to fight for King and Country was also prepared to stand up for better conditions for himself and his wife and family . They had been taught by the war that without organisation it was absolutely useless for the workers to expect to alter the conditions under which they worked . Ald . Morley in a vigorous address which was en livened by humorous illustrations , said that the Workers ' Union was specially fitted for the workers of every occupation . They did not ask whether a grievance was a man's grievance or a woman's grievance , or if they were skilled or unskilled . In the early days they were inundated with applications for assistance and organisa- tions were started in every counts Unfortunately the Boer war came along and a similar experience befell them as on the outbreak of this war and they lost the farm workers who rallied to the colours . Since then they had been struggling to regain lost ground and to- day their membership was far in excess of what it was before the Boer War . To - day he was proud to state that they had more farm workers enrolled than any other individual union in the country ( applause ) . In some parts there were sections of trade unionists who thought that the Workers ' Union should not touch farm workers and that they should be left to the Agricultural and Rural Workers Union . They differed with that view from experience because they found they could not successfully organise the workers on the land apart from the industrial workers in the towns and cities ( applause ) . He pointed out that if there was a slump in agricultural production the worker on the land would be safe in a union which had 300,000 industrial workers among its members . He pointed out that a man who was out of work , with poverty manifesting itself in the faces of his wife and children , could not be judged by any moral code as to what job he would take and at what wages . Such a man was a danger to his fellow workmen ,, but being in the Workers Union he was instantly taken up and was not used to reduce the standard of wages . He wanted them to feel that they had the privilege of being , members of an organi- sation which very shortly would be linked up with two other organisations , one dealing with municipal and corporation workpeople and the other with the ship- building and engineering trade . They would then have a numerical strength as well as a financial standing second to no union in the world ( applause ) . FARM WORKERS NOT ISOLATED . He wanted to get the idea out of the farm workers ' mind that he was isolated . Although he might be working in a ten - acre field alone with God and the fresh air he must be made to feel that he was linked up with the men in every industry in the country , in the huge industrial centres , in shipbuilding , in the chemical works , in the building trade , and the textile . industries , by being a member of the Workers Union . If they had a grievance let them approach their em- ployer and state their grievance like a Britisher . If that grievance was not remedied they could tell their employer that if it came to a fight he had to scrap with half a million men and not with John Smith only , and that he had behind him machinery which could be set in motion to influence , even the Government itself . not PRE - WAR DEMANDS . Ald . Morley went on to recall the effort that was made before the war to set up a standard wage in the county . They had the impudence to ask for payment for Sunday work and at some of the meetings they were met with jeers , even from the men they were trying to help . Even Mr. Box was doubtful of the wisdom of asking for 30 / - a week and at their conferences at Leominster and Koss they could not get the men to spring further than a demand for 22 / - a week for a 60 hours week , It was said that these demands were exorbitant but had Herefordshire gone to the dogs now that they were paid 31 / - a week with overtime on Sundays and had working hours limited to 56 in summer and 48 in winter . Did not they often kick themselves and want to know if it was true . In 1914 they asked 22 / - for 60 hours , three months notice Now for their cottage , and 6d . per hour overtime . they had got 8 % d . per hour overtime and 10d . for Sunday . He wanted to point out that it was only their silly modesty that prevented them from getting their benefits years and years ago , because they were organised . They were taught to obey , their superiors , pastors and masters and order themselves lowly and reverently before them . The worst of it was that they believed it . They thought God had sent them there to clean out cow - houses , feed pigs , plough the fields , and that their God - given strength should be exhausted by working from 4 in the morning till 8 at night , 7 days a week and 52 weeks to the year . They counted themselves lower than the horses they drove , and of less value than the cow they miked or the calt they brought into the world . To this day their housing was less under the control of law than the stable or cow - house . Why ? Because when elec- tions for Parliament , County Council , District Council and Parish Council came round they were asked to vote for Mr. Jones because he was a good churchman or a good farmer . They had done it and gone on working 60 hours a week for 15 / - and thanked God they had got a job ( laughter ) , Your common humanity never came to your mind " exclaimed the speaker . You were herded like cattle and treated like cattle . You believed that you were no better than cattle and that was the damnable part of the business ( applause ) . Continuing the speaker said they were being got out of that . They were struggling to make the labourer believe that his wife and children were as dear to him as the noblest in the land and that nothing was too good for them . Eight - tenths of their lads had had to go to defend the country and he wanted the workers of this land , in city and town , village and hamlet , to say , " We have defended the country , we will have it . ( applause ) ; There was no way out of it but by organisation and the spreading of the idea that the lot of the workers was not what it ought to be , that it could be made better and that if that was done the lot of every one in the community would be better . Alderman Morley went on to deal with the question of women . They wanted the woman to take her place as the pal and comrade of man , and with him to demand a share of the good things of life equal with any other woman in the community . No woman should go before a working man's wife . They had allowed dolls of society to be set on a pedestal , as if they were models for England and their wives were taught to curtsey to them . So long as the working men did not respect their wives and did not believe their children should be educated , so long would their class be subject to another . Any high ideals they might have were crushed by economic circumstances . They should " How is it that I work hard and long and do useful work and yet I am poor , my wife is poor , my home is poor , my children's lives are poor CORPORAL , W : J.

A WONDERFUL AND EXCITING SALE . In the boom in Hereford cattle which has provided but all records for the breed were completely eclipsed by the sale of Mr. S. C. Hayter a herd at Twyford , Pembridge , on Thursday . Eighty - four animals sold tor 42,612gs . , giving the magnihcent average of over £ 530 , which is , of course , tar and away above any previous record , including the famous sale of the Llan- wern Herefords . such sensational events of late wonder follows wonder , The tremendous interest taken in the sale is ac- considered . counted for when the history of the cattle The Twyford herd was founded by the present owner , Mr. S. C. Hayter , in the year 1902 , with cows pur- chased at the dispersal sale of the late Mr. John Price , at the Court House , Pembridge . The Court House herd was old established and strongly infused with the blood of that noted sire Horace , a descendant of the great " Sir David , " one of the most famous bulls in Hereford history . Horace was noted for his exceptional quality and wealth of flesh and these im- portant characteristics he invariably transmitted to his progeny . Mr. Hayter , a son - in - law of the late Mr. John Price , wisely determined to continue breeding on the same lines that had been so successful at the Court House and practically every animal ( male oi female ) he has drafted into his herd , has possessed a strong infusion of the old Court House blood . One of the chief factors in the success attained by the Twyford herd has . Xmas Gif the use for more than ten years of a bull bred by Mr. James Edwards . Horace and tracing back to on both sire and dam ' side . Having exercised a wise discrimination in the selection of his foundation animals , Mr. Hayter brought into play his in - born capacity for scientific breeding , with the result that no herd in England has been a general level of excellence as has maintained her . Although seldom represented in the showyards and solely on account of the great fame the cattle had gained throughout the world , Twyford has for years been the Mecca of all interested in the exportation of pedigree Herefords . Long before the general rise in prices Mr. Hayter was able to command sums that were the envy of many of his compeers . THE LUNCHEON . Capt . R. T. Hinckes , President of the Hereford Herd Book Society , presided at the luncheon to which over 500 sat down . The customary speeches were after- wards made . After the loyal toast had been honoured the Chairman proposed the health of Mr. Hayter and suocess to the sale . He laid great emphasis on the value of the Court House blood . He spoke of the work of the founders of the strain , Mr. John Price . Mr. Edward Price and then Mr. John Price again , who was father - in - law to Mr. Hayter . He remarked that Mr. Hayter founded his herd on the Court House blood and there could be no more fashionable strain in the world . Proceeding , the Chairman referred to the noted bulls Sir David long in the history , of the breed . In the grand Here- ford sire Ringer they had a bull which was equally first class .
