blies. Thu situation is not considered

are responsible for thu slight Increase
In tho number of cholera cases noted

ENORMOUS LOSS IN COAL.
Trade Loses $1,500,000 Weekly by
Cotton Lockout.
London, Oct. 2C.Thc shutting
down of COO mills as the result ouf the
cotton trade lock out has reduced tho
consumption of engine coal by 700,000
tons per week. Calculated at $2 per
ton, this represents a loss of trade
amounting to $1,500,000 a week.
Oldham, tho center of the spinning
industry, is the first of tho cotton
towns to feel the pinch of tho lockout.
Of tho 320 mills in tho town only 20
are now working. It is not tho opera
tives who have their lock out pay from
their unions to fall back on who aro
beginning to feel the pressure of tho
industrial warfare, but the shopkeep
ers, particularly at tho small shops,
who depended on tho custom of tho
mill girls.
No ono has the heart to buy anything
short of actual necessities. No new
' dresses are being mado in Oldham just
now, and dressmakers aro reducing the
, number of their workroom hands, and
the milliners' shops, of which tho fe
mals cotton operativo was tho generous
I patron, are deserted.
The situation was discussed at a
meeting of the distress committee last
night and the mayor haa summoned a
special meeting of tho council for to
night, when a deputation from the dis
tress committee will mako suggestions
for providing relief work.
