England’s Cotton Spinners Declare Lockout

The Federation of Master Cotton Spinners of England have declared a lockout of 130,000 operatives, and 700 mills have been closed. This tying up of the Lancashire industry is the result of a dispute arising from the discharge of a single employee at one of the mills. The total number of men idle in England as the result of labor differences is now 200,000. Unless there is an early successful settlement hundreds of other men will soon be out of employment.
