TEXTILE PETITION
TO THE COMMONS (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 28. A petition was presented in the House of Commons by the members of the Manchester Royal Exchange, representing all branches of the cotton industry, asking the Government to prevent the exploitation'of the Empire’s markets by foreign nations, who not. only excluded British goods by high tariffs and quotas, but made it impossible for producers in this country to compete, owing to the basis of wages paid even though the manufacturers here were equiped with the most up-to-date machinery and employed the most modern methods.
