COTTON INDUSTRY
COMPLICATED DISPUTE. EMPLOYERS AND OPERATIVES. AGREEMENT IMPOSSIBLE. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received January 5, 11.5 a.m. RUGBY, Jan. 4. The prolonged negotiations in the complicated dispute between the employers and operatives in a section of the cotton industry were renewed yesterday, after reaching a deadlock on Friday, but no agreement was found possible. The dispute concerns the proposed increase in the number of looms in charge of each operative and the effect on wages and conditions. A stoppage in some mills on Monday is inevitable, but great efforts will be made to prevent its spreading. The points still at issue are regarded as of secondary importance, and the intervention of the Government may be sought.
