At the Annual Meeting of the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Charity Organization Society, on Thursday, December 1st, 1881 Paper read by Sir Charles Trevelyan, Bart, at the Annual Meeting of the newcastle-upon-tyne Charity Organization Society, on Thursday, the first of December, 1881. During the late depression of trade some honest workmen took to the road in search of employment, but in this part of England vagrants may be said to be now entirely professional tramps. With cheap Parliamentary trains, and wages at a minimum of a pound a week, it is mere waste of time and money to make a journey on foot; and if help is wanted by real workmen, it is obtained, often with too great facility, from their mates of the friendly and trade societies.
