Mr Richard Fort, Tory MP for Clitheroe, which borders Lancashire's cotton area, has angered the cotton trade unions and perplexed millowners by advising the latter to "quit cotton if they cannot make it."
Burnley millowners, who will consider his speech on Wednes- day, will be urged to team up with the unions in a joint move to boycott all lower-priced cloth imported from India, Hongkong and Japan.
