weeks notice, and also stated definitely
the amount of the reduction.
He also practically admitted that the
pound system of payment adopted by
the manufacturers, In order to avoid
the particulars in the law, was fall
ure so far and his statement was
borne ont yesterday when the Wam-
sutta laborers were paid of, for all the
weavers found upon opening their en-
velopes that they were paid the cut.
This Is due to the fact that the man.
ufacturers found that after making up
the pay-rolls the wages were increased
10 per cent. by the pound system.
He said he could propose no scheme
by which the strike could be termi-
mated, but was satisfied that employ
ment must be given the 5000 operatives
