COTTON INDUSTRY DISPUTE
NO UNDUE DELAY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 17. His Honor Sir Rigby Swift, who has been appointed independent chairman of the Court of Arbitration set up under the settlement terms of the Lanca,shire cotton dispute, is a Judge in the King’s Bench Division, and is himself a Lancashire man with an intimate knowledge of the cotton industry. In a message regarding the cotton settlement, the Prime Minister, Mr Ramsay MacDonald, expressed the hope that the arbitration award would be given without undue delay, and that it would be loyally accepted by both sides. Stating his belief that the cotton industry required far more cooperative organisation, the Prime Minister added: “ The inquiry into the cotton industry which the Government has just set up must now be pushed ahead as quickly as possible so that the temporary accommodation which will follow arbitration may be used as an opportunity for both sides, and all sections in the cotton industry to get together.to face the facts and to overcome Them.”
