COTTON INDUSTRY
ATTACK ON WAGES EMPLOYERS' LOCK-OUT NOTICES LABOUR PAPER'S CRITICISM. (Uuiied Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian Press Assoaialina) LONDON, 22nd July. The "Daily Herald" (Labour) says that less than a week remains before the lockout notices in connection with trio Lancashire cotton industry expire. A stoppage seems inevitable. Any pressure upon employers to pacific ends will undoubtedly receive full public support. The employers know they cannot succeed in their attack on wages, except by imposing a long period of suffering upon operatives, a process which the Government and public cannot idly watch. It would be as well if the employers realised that now, and also that their policy is •hopelesslyout of date. TROUBLE FEARED IN WOOL TRADE (Received 23rd July, noon) LONDON", 22nd July. There is no sign of the cotton employers withdrawing the lock-out notices. Trouble is also feared in the wool trade following the employers' motion at the Industrial Council to-day for an allround reduction of wages.
