COTTON DISPUTE
SETTLEMENT v ANNOUNCED
LOOMS START AGAIN
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, 14th February,
The settlement of the cotton dispute by the withdrawal yesterday by the employers of the lock-out and the discontinuance of the "more looms" experiment at Burnley, has caused relief, as the stoppage threatened to affect the prospects for the cotton trade section of tho British Industries Fair.
The weavers have ended the Burnley strike, and work will be resumed in all mills. Hope .is held that the peace .will be used to establish better relations between the employers and operatives, and to reorganise industry. The employers, in a statement, said that they were prepared to discuss with the operatives questions of technical reorganisation when a proper atmosphere returned. They desired to see good feeling in the industry, and had every confidence that the operatives would respond. \
