[Meeting of Directors held at Goodison park,
July 25th 1916.]
Present All the Directors except Dr. Baxter and Mr. Green.
A deputation from the Liverpool Trades Council attended
the meeting and expressed regret that the Contract for
painting over Stands etc had been given to Messrs
Burnand as this firm was an unfair shop and did
not recognise Trade Union standards and conditions.
The Chairman pointed out to the deputation that before
Messrs Burnand's estimate was accepted we had ascertained
that they had carried out contracts for the West Derby
Board of Guardians and H. M. Government and with
this knowledge we naturally concluded that they were
a fully qualified firm and employed Trade Union labour.
The Directors however gave the deputation the assurance
that any future contract entered into by this Company
would only be given to a Trade Union shop.
Minutes The Minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.
The Chairman reported the Annual Meeting of the League
held in Manchester on the 17th inst. and reviewed the
business transacted.
Practice games It was resolved that we hold 2 public and 1 private
practice match, the first public practice match to be
held on Saturday August 19th and the second on an
evening of the following week.
It was resolved that we advertise in the local press and
the Athletic News for players for the coming season.
