Manchester, Eng, Dec. 27.--The re-
fusal of one man and two women TO
join trades union, coupled with the
decsior of the master cotton splnners
to close their mills three days in the
week, caused complete stoppage of
great portion of the cotton mills IN
northeast Lancashire tonight Efforts
are already afoot to bring about Il
settlement but as one woman who left
the union after twenty years because
mensurate with the payments. per-
sists In her attitude and the master
spinners insist upon their right to
maintain open shops, n long and bit
ter struggle is feared There Is grave
danger too, of the fight spreading to
other industries.
The lockout involved l60, 900 weav-
ers and nearly an equal number Of
spnners win be reduced to half pay.
Fortunately there are indications of
probable complications through the
introduction Of a new issue on the
troublesome question Of wages.
This move has been taken by the
weavers who now declare that as Il
lockout has been decided upon they
intend 10 make q five per cent advance
a condition of any settlement.
1t Is estimated that the weekly loss
in wages to the weavers and allied
workers, spinners and cardroom en-
ployes, will be $i40O.000, The weav-
ers will receive about s325.OOO lockout
pay from the union.

Washington, Dec. 27. -- There was
an production Of coal this year
and a consequent struggle for trade
which depressed prices. in the opinion
expressed today by Edward w. Par
ker, coal statisticlan for the United
States geological survey. Mr.. Parker
added that there had been few more
unsatisfactory years in the history Of
the coal mining industry and that
when the total returns for the year
were footed up the balance probably
would be on the wrong side of the
ledger, although the production OF
coal in the United states for the year
probably was second only to the rec
ord year of 1910.
"The anthracite industry In i91i,"
he said, probably was as firm as any
other In the country. A part Of the
Increase in production was due to
the stocking of fuel In anticipation OF
April /, 1912, when the wage agree
ments terminate. The bituminous
trade on the whole, has been demor-
allied and discouraging, and much OF
the business was conducted at loss.
The principal cause for this. parti-

The total production Of coal for this
year is estimated nj a90,000,000 tons,
only 100000 less than 1910. OF
