The Northampton Mercury, February 15th 1890, transcribed by Susan Manton

Rivetters and Finishers Union

The Rushden and Higham Ferrers branch of the above union have, through their secretary, sent round to the manufacturers, in accordance with the resolution passed at the last meeting of the men, a circular requesting them to place a list of their prices for the making and finishing in the lobbies of each of the factories, and also to enter the price of each lot of work in the book at the time it is given out. What effect this will have on the manufacturers remains to be seen.
