BRITISH COTTON WORKERS
TO MEET EMPLOYERS
LONDON, February 18.
The cotton workers have accepted the employers’ invitation for a further meeting. The object is to remove misunderstandings regarding the position, and endeavor to reach a peaceful agreement.
[A cablegram published on Thursday stated that a sensation had been caused in the cotton industry by the master spinners’ decision to terminate the existing hours and wages agreements, insisting on a 12. J per cent, wages reduction and an extension of four hours weekly, applicable to mills spinning American cotton. The Egyptian tion, using finer yarns, refused to participate.]
