Cotton Spinners In Session-(By Telegraph to VIrglnlan-PiloOManchester, Sept. 7..The meeting

summoned for September 21 Is to re¬consider the situation "and if necessaryto take more drastic measures." Yes¬terday's meeting was open to all spin¬ners, whether connected with the Fed¬eration or not. Members of the Northand Northwest Lancashires Spinners'and -Manufacturers' Association werealso present. These had met earlierin the <lay and it was understood thatthey were willing to co-operate withthe Federation.

AN ACCUSATION.In the course of the meeting the ac¬

cusation was made, aitliough not for¬mally discussed, that some of the pro¬moters of the meeting had been forti¬fying their own position by large pur¬chases of cotton since the conterencewas summoned.Disclaimers, however, met with cor¬

dial acceptance. Replying to com¬plaints that tho resolution was inad¬equate to meet the crisis, the pro¬moters admitted that this had becomemore acute since the meeting was call¬ed, but they said it had been doomedexpedient to secure united actionthroughout the whole trade before at¬tempting to strengthen the terms ofthe resolution.The chief Interest In yesterday's pro¬

ceedings is as to whether they willhasten the end of the corner, whichhas been established. Mr. Mawrdley,a leading official of the operatives'union. Is hopeful. He says that a fort¬night's loss of work should not serious¬ly affect the operatives.The Bolton Spinners use Egytlan

cotton chiefly, and are. therefore, lit¬tle affected. The Barnes Company, ofFarnworth, one of the largest firms de¬pendent upon American cotton, havealready placed their four mills on shorttime for four days a week; and It Isfeared that many mills will be obligedto close.
