WOOL-COMBERS' STRIKE.
NINE THOUSAND MEN OUT. (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.! (Pep. Press Association.) LONDON. March 10. The strike of the Bradford wooloombers is over the question of non-recogni-tion of the trades unions. Nine thousand persons are now out. They arc generally peaceful in their behaviour, but some entered promises and stopped machinery. At a conference of masters and men it was agreed to submit settlement proposals to their principles, and in the event of continued disagreement to refer the dispute to arbitration by the Lord Mayor of Bradford.
The Daily Telegraph states that unless the strike terminates speedily the whole of the worsted industry will be disorganised. . Stocks of "tops" arc scarce, and many firms are behind hand with their deliveries.
A cable yesterday said: —Seven thousand woolcombevs have struck. Gangs of strikers visited the woolcombing works at Bradford and Shipley, Yorkshire, and in every case succeeded in inducing the operatives to cease work.
