The cotton operatives at Oldham are con- tinually returning to work. District meet- ings will be held on Saturday to consider the situation.
Lonpowx, Dee. 28.
The News says :-—‘‘ Instead of Christmas turning the tide of events, or reviving the cotton trade in Blackburn, the markets gradually dwindled, and this week there has been less employment than ever. Six mills are at a standstill through bankruptcy and others are closed for three weeks. Those best versed in the cotton trade say prospects of improvement are far from im- mediate. The Oldham cotton trade strike, however, appears to be approaching its end,
as large numbersof the operatives are re- turning to work at the reduced wages. It
is calculated that half a million spindles have been re-started during the past two weeks at reduced rates.” Lonvon, Dec. 27.
Sir William Hayler, formerly a well- known Liberal member of Parliament, and at one time Secretary of the Treasury, was found drowned in a lake on his estate in Berkshire.
