 The success of Arch's speech led to a series of further meetings, and the election of a committee, who met at John Lewis' farmhouse in the village.On Good Friday, the committee held a meeting at Leamington Spa which established the Warwickshire Agricultural Labourers Union, Arch becoming its president, Henry Taylor its general secretary, and Matthew Vincent its treasurer.The union aimed to limit working time to a nine-and-a-half hour day, and institute a minimum wage of 16 shillings a week.
