I have se hundreds of people stand 2 hours for fear should not get one. Good old days ! I was the oldest of 7 children ; and when I was old enough I crept into the wood by the light of the moon, and brought out once 5 pheasants to help to keep my father, mother, brothers, and sisters from starving. In 1850 the corn went down. The Crimean War it come up again to ^5. The farmer was the jackal for landlord. He squeeze the labourer to 7/-, 8/-, 9/-, and 10/- a week. The farmers wore a white smock f...rock, the labourers a brown one — that was there dress-up! Bricklayers had 18/- a week, labourers 12/-, some 10/-, carpenters 18/-, painters 18/-, blacksmiths 16/-. There was no union ; it was according to supply and demand. I was among the shoes. I have seen the day in '46 when a man in the shoe trade would give 2/6 for every man he could get. To-day there are thousands would give 5/- to get them a job. And what is the cause of this ? A surplus labour market. When I go home to Daventry I get and look at 82 THE HUNGRY FORTIES the farm I first worked on.
