Friday 21/6/46 McGladdery - Sheeting (68/72) - Friday 21st June
This weaver got a 9½x10½ 67" N8291 Beam into his loom, with which he was not
satisfied. I explained that it was all we had at present and would change it
the first opportunity. He said to take his notice, I told him Saturday was
the day and I would do so. He then came back again and said he would only
work a week, that he was going to England, stating he had had work etc. etc.
casting up about ? while other ?. I told him if that was so I would let him
away when he had his cloth off. The Tenter? on Thursday night before
stopping time told me that McGladdery was not going to start the plain?
loom, that he was going on the Bureau. As it was better for me to make his
position clear I asked him of he was intending to leave when he had his
cloth take off, he said yes, I then told him he was leaving of his own
accord, that was about 10 or 15 minutes past 8.00 on Friday morning, about
an hour & ¼ or hour and ½ later I was working at a boom? above his and on
going past his loom to Mechanic shop he came out and stopped me and wanted
to know if I was going to break? him on the Bureau. I told him there was a
form which came out from there to be filled in and if he left voluntary we
could not say we had no work, when work was available. He then lost
his temper completely, talking a lot in very excited way about the Green?
Road, if he came from there he would be alright, mentioning Johnny Mooney,
Mick T??ley, Kathleen McGrath, and, as he said 'other papists they could get
everything.' I tried to pacify him but in vain. I told him he was a bad boy
and I did not want to have any trouble with him. He then seemed to get worse
saying he would fight this to the bitter end. I then told him to do whatever
hell? he wished and before I was aware he attacked me several times. He
seemed by his attitude from the start to want to do this as he was very
aggressive all the time.

My dearest Lettie?, I cannot settle to write letters, am on the trot all the
time. We have had a wonderful holiday, not a dull minute. Weather cold for
first three or four days but very hot ever since. I'm as brown as a berry.
Edie is red as a beetroot. Been the best holiday we have ever had. Will send
you an account of our doings? later on. Took some photos and have a good
collection of cards. This is the sort of holiday you should take in the
summer. Several folks on board are looking quite different after their two
weeks ? We start for home on Sunday. This is Friday in Las Palmas. Love from
Arthur?
(1) Lisbon. 2 days - Motor run to Cintra about 17 miles of most
gorgeous scenery. Motor run round city visiting all places of interest.
Madeira 1 day - Very warm, motored to see the sights, very pretty
place but spoiled by ? of bypass. Would have loved two days here, plenty to
see.
(2) Santa Cruz 2 days - Motored to Orotava? about 20 miles, half of it
through banana plantations. System of irrigation very novel. Saw them being
packed, very interesting. Peak of Tenerife?, 13,000 feet high, can be seen
130 miles at sea. Very hot here. Return there to-morrow for cargo?
(3) Las Palmas Friday and Sunday - I think the most enjoyable ? we had
was to-day, delightfully warm and everywhere something new. Pulled and ate
oranges from the trees. Saw the cave dwellers at Atalaja, half savages they
are. Port of Las Palmas very busy, very fine shops or ships?
