LANCASHIRE COTTON INDUSTRY.
LONDON, August 27.
Seventeen thousand card-room workers at Oldham have unanimously decided to oppose the proposed 5 per cent, reduction in w^ges.
It is expected that other operators and spinners in Lancashire will decide simi- . larly, involving the trade in one of the most serious conflicts in its history.
On December 8 last year the police enforced the " Blue Laws *' to make Sunday a day of rest and to abolish eaered , and other and performances by arresting at Kansas City 141 actors and actresses on the stage, and arraigning them in their motley stage dresses for violation of the law.
