MANCHESTER, England, January 17. —Lancashire cotton mills were cl today against 250,000 weavers, whose representatives have refused flatly to accent a “more looms per weaver” sys- tem inaugurated by the mill owners.

In addition to the weavers, 250,000 inners and members of the various ishing trades also will be laid off shortly, since without the weavers there will be no work for them to do. This will bring the number affected by the Lancashire lockout to about half a mil- n. In an effort to avert the crisis offi- clals of the Labor ministry conferred for 10 hours yesterday with representa- tives of the weavers and mill owners, that the weavers tend eight instéad of four and the weavers were adamant in their decision not‘to accept the new system When the conference broke up notices were posted that the lockout would begin this morning. In their efforts to bring acquiescence of the weavers to the new system the mill owners offered them as much as £2 or about $10 a week additional wages, but the weavers contended that it would merely incrsase the number of unem- ployed at & time when it was impera- tive every man possible have a job. “CONTINENTALS OF 1931” TO MARCH TO YORKTOWN| Historic Military Organizations to Participate in Sesquicen- tennial “Advance.” By the Associated Press.
