Turnout of Iron Moulders

On Monday morning there was a a general turnout of all the moulders in Rochdale for an advance of wages from 28/- to 30/- per week. The men still remain out and the masters seem determined not to give the advance demanded.

( They remained on strike for two months ).

This is from a Manchester paper dated 4th of August 1834.
