BRITISH ALARMED
BY TEXTILE STRIKE
10000 Weavers Quit, With
Work of 200, 900 Spin.
nerS Threatened.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANCHESTER, England, August 80.
Estimates of the Lancashire textile
strike ran as high as 80 per cent today
as the ranks of the strikers increased,
due to the intensity OF picketing at
operating mills. Union leaders asserted
that by tomorrow the walkout would be
100 per cent effective among the 2oo,-
900 weavers in the manufacturing Sec
tion of the industry.
In some quarters the strike was
characterized as "half-hearted and not
successful" but the consensus appeared
to be that 1t was generally success.
A number Of important meetings were
taking place in Manchester today, but
neither the unions nor the employers
had made move for peace. There was
little hope, j appeared, that they would
get together this eaerly In the bitter
test Of strength.
Police Quell Minor Clash.
Although no serious disturbances had
occurred, several threatening situations
brought out the mounted police today.
A minor clash came at Barnoldwick,
where 1000 strikers booed and taunted
200 workers leaving the mills. Sixty
police charged the crowds with their
truncheons and extra police were rushed
to the town.
The Manchester Guardian said edi-
torially today that the first day of the
strike exhibited the strength Of trade
union loyalty
But to what end?" asked the
Guardian. THE demonstration of
union strength is of no use unless it
leads somewhere. There IS no sign that
the employers are disposed to surrender
to force.
There seems nothing to look forward
to except an indefinite continuance of
the stoppage until some one makes a
move to settle it."
Spinners May Lose Jobs.
With large proportion of the 200 900
WeaVers on strike, an equal number of
spinners-even If they decide to accept
the 10 per cent wage cut when they
meet 10 days hence-may find them
selves without employment, since spin
ming and weaving are dependent on
each other.
While the warfare Of industrial at
triton proceeds the textile manufac-
turing industry itself is likely to take
blow on the chin from which it may
never recover. Industrialists, econ
omiStS and the press see catastrophe
danger in the strike, which Is occurring
at time when Britain needs every
resource to weather what the Viscount
of Ickornshaw, Philip Snowden, calls
the economic blizzard"
No Sign Of Intervention.
There is no sign of government Of
Intervention. Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald, accompanied by j. H.
Thomas, secretary for dominions, have
left for Balmoral, Scotland, to inform
the King about the results of the Of
tawa conference. The prime minister
intimated, however, that he would re-
turn to London in day or two. which
would mean an alteration Of his plans
to complete his holiday in Scotland.
