LANCASHIRE MILLS
SHORT OF LABOUR [Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] (Received December 4, 9.25 p.m.) LONDON, December 3.
The “Daily Express” says: The Lancashire cotton industry is again short of operatives and this at a critical moment. As a result of the shortage an order for one hundred million yards of cotton goods from the Government will not be fulfilled within the stipulated six months. Many Lancashire operatives have drifted to the munitions industry, because of the higher wages. These workers will remain there, unless they are assured of comparable wages and of reasonable security in their own industry.
