WHERE WORK IS WAITING.
■ SERIOUS POSITION IN BRITAIN ' — I (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright’ ’ (Received This Day. 1.20 p.m.) i LONDON. This Day. The refusal of unemployed miners to ’ move from Durham, where ten thous- j and are out of work, to Lancashire, j where pits and cotton mills are closingowing to lack of labour and coal, is causing a serious crisis in industry. Two Lancashire collieries have closed in order to spread miners over more productive pits, where an acute shortage of labour is revealed. The Lancastrian miners' leaders have been trying unsuccessfully since September to induce Durham workers to move, although work can be found for four thousand immediately. At least | six cotton mills have closed down ini the past fortnight. Coal is actually go- > ing to Lancashire from Durham, in- J eluding sixtv thousands tons in one! week.
