At a meeting the Manchester Atheneum Textile Society Mr. J. W. Lord, of Rochdale, gave an ad- dresa on "Automatic looms and their effect on the cotton trade. He said he had twenty years' ex perience of automatic looms. In this country we had been tinkering with the question of automatic looms for that period of time, and P to now had not got much forrarder," He believed that such looms would have to come. When the cotton trade did revive, there would be such a scarcity of weavers that manufacturers would be driven to establish them whep.m.; King Edward Hotel, 5 pm. ther they wanted to or not.

Lord Merrivale: The costs of the inquiry that has taken place would manifestly be ruinous. They would much more than abeori the settled moneys, and as I understand it, Sir Max does not desire that it should have that effect. That seems reasonable:
