THE STRIKE AT BLACKBURN.
A number of operatives have already left
work at Blackburn and several mills have
closed. The strike will affect thirty taou.
sand operatives.
THE LANCASHIRE LOCKOUT.
LONDON, May 13.-In consequence of the
decision of the weavers to strike work be-
cause an advance OF wages was refused,
the cotton trade masters at Blackburn,
which is one of the leading cotton manu-
featuring towns of the country, haye de
cided to stop their mills next week.
How long the lockout will continue will
depend upon the conduct of the strikers.
The Blackburn masters agree with those
of the other towns of the district in pro-
Tossing their inability to grant the five per
cent. of advance in wages demanded by
the men, and also object to a
reference of the matter to arbitra-
tors who they affirm would either
grant the advance or make some other
compromise to which the mill owners
could not submit in the present state of
trade. The discomfort seems most deeply
realized among the weavers, who struck
work Notwithstanding the recommends
tion of the cotton mill delegates that the
operatives remain at work for the present.
Blackburn has about $4,000 employees in
the cotton mills and in fair condition of
trade turns out more than $4,000, 600
worth of manufactured goods annually, and
either strike or lockout must result
very disastrously to the interests of the
town.
