COTTON MILLS STRIKE
MAY LOCK OUT 10000
Men Demand That Mill Owners
Require Employees to
Join Union.
'oreign Correspondence Of The Star.


LONDON, October 15 1911.
dispute over the employment of nom
union labor threatens to bring about a
lockout of the whole cotton trade oper-
atives in north and northeast Lancashire,
numbering over 10000.
At one of the Burnley mills there are
four spinners who are not connected with
the spinners' union, and the local branch
of the union having failed to induce these
men to join, the unionists have declined
to go on working with them. A week 8
notice has been given by the spinners,
and, in accordance with their rules per-
tanning to sympathetic strikes, the card
room workers have done likewise.
Official Announcement.
The following official announcement was
made by the employers:
I'm view of the agitation which is TAX
ing place in the various parts of the dis
trict covered by the North and Northeast
Lancashire Cotton Spinners' and Manu-
facturers' Association, with the object of
coercing non-unionists to join trade
union. the central committee of the asso-
citation has decided that in the event of a
strike taking place at Messrs. Haslam
Brothers 0imited). Gatetield mill, Burn
ley. in order to enforce this policy. the
whole of the members of the association
will be recommended to close their spin
ming mills and weaving sheds until the
dispute Is settled"
At Blackburn the prospect of stop
page in the Lancashire cotton trade
owing to the trouble at Burnley is caus-
ing much concern. In the area covered
by the Blackburn chamber of commerce
there are 3 100 600 SDindleS and C13OOO
looms. If the threatened lockout takes
place, most of these will be affected
Considered Unreasonable.
q. Ormerod prominent Blackburn
manufacturer. stated that the masters
considered the operatives demand un-
reasonable. and they did not feel called
upon to apply pressure to compel their
workpeople to join any organization. The
men were as unreasonable as the masters
would be If they asked the operatives to
refrain from working at mills not identi-
the masters had taken up determined
attitude There were. he added. 1ndica-
tons that the whole of the county might
be affected.
The operatives leaders are reluctant to
express their views, but they appear to be
none too hopeful. One of them stated
that the Northern Counties Weavers
Amalgamation was pledged to give official
support to its branches on the question at
issue The workpeople's organizations
are financially strong. though the huge
additions to their memberships which
have recently been made have increased
their liabilities in respect of payments
during stoppage. The membership OF
the Blackburn Weavers' Association
alone exceeds $1,000.

the company of a man since she arrived
in this country from her fathers home in
Ballybay, County Monaghan, Ireland,
June 1. except when she was accom-

time ago this young woman had a quarrel
with her sweetheart and cast him off.

AGAINST FREE CANAL
Charge Made That United
States Seeks to Evade
Treaty Obligations.

LONDON, December q. - The Hay
Pauncefote treaty of 1902. between the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland and the United States, is quoted
today against President Taft's suggestion
in his message to Congress December Il
that preferential treatment should be ac-
corded to American ships passing through
the Panama canal.
After reproducing the clause of article
III of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty re-
lating that the canal shall be open to the
vessels Of all nations on terms Of entire
equality in respect Of the conditions or
charges of traffic or otherwise, the Pail
Mall Gazette comments on President
Taft's proposal as follows:
Formal Protest Urged.
"It might be good business for the
United States if she could get over the
trifling difficulty that she has solemnly
undertaken that she would do nothing of
the kind.
Eve trust that Sir , Edward Grey. the
British foreign secretary, will take steps
to make tine British view perfectly eX-
plicit. and that even British Ambassador
Bryce at Washington will for once show
some vigilance OH behalf of our CONNER
cial interests.

ATLANTA, Ga, December 23.-Charles
W. Morse. the New York banker. must
regain his freedom within very short
time or he will die, according to a re-
port prepared and sent to Washington
after conference yesterday of local
physicians and military surgeons at Fort
Mcpherson, where Morse was removed
from the federal penitentiary for treat
ment.
Morse is not holding his own. accord
ing to the medical men. His condition
this morning, 1t is said, was not so good
as it was yesterday after the detailed
examination. The fact that the army
surgeons called several we'll known
civilian practitioners into the case is re-
gart1ed as an indication that the banker
is considerably worse than when taken
from the prison.
The post surgeons sent report 10 tne
adjutant general at Washington last sat
urday for transmission to the Depart
men Of Justice, in which it was asserted
that the prisoner had made no improve
ment under treatment.
No Action on Communication.
Monday advices from the capital said
the President and Attorney General
Wickersham would take no action on
Morse's application for Communication. His
friends expected he would be set free
during the holidays.
Mr. Wickersham is on his way to
Panama.
Although the report sent in today is
confidential as far as the military
physicians are concerned, its contents be-
came known.

Sentiment against the Santa Claus

reasons given by the ministers and others
for their actions
