In agreeing to the settlement we did not sacrifice any principle, or depart from the position we have taken up since the outset of the dispute, I think the position we took up at the beginning has been fully justified.”

The idea of a sixth sense was considered at the recent International Conference of the Blind at Manchester, England. Blind persons are able to distinguish objects at some distance so as to avoid running against a piece of furni ture or another person, and while it was suggest ed that this is simply a perception by very acute ordinary senses of a slight difference in tem- perature or of sound, er of a slight motion of the air, the Principal of Henshaw's Asylum for the Blind regarded it as the operation of a dis. tinct sense. In those who possess sight this sense is untrained and annoticed. When one of our ordinary sensee is lost, the others become much more acnte-without sight, for instance, touch and hearing being greatly quickened and it is easy to understand that a method of perception ordinarily very slight or absolutely dormant would be greatly developed when its use should become necessary.

Mr. C. W. Maoara, presideat of the Master Cotton Spinners Federation, in an interview after the announcement of the settlement, said:

Now I hope we shell soon get back to esimese and be good friends again; I hope no trace of bitterness will be left behind. I am sure both sides are grateful to Alderman Frankenburg and other Lancashire mayors for their valuable assistance. About 40,000,000 spindles have been affected for seven weeks, so much smaller than was the case in the 20 weeks' that the stoppage of production is not very stoppage of 15,000,000 spindles in 1892-3, which ended in the framing of the Brooklands agres disputes which might have resulted in industrial maut.
