Russia's great urewar cotton industry, has suffered to luch an extent darinc the revolu tion that it is doubtful whether many t.f the mills erer will be able to op iate azain. says Sir Charles Maca- ta, an English authority in the world s cottoik trade, in an inter new in the Yorkshire Pout. 1 Based uoon information obtained from an Englishman who recently returned from Russia, where for 14 wars he was the manne r of a large totton factory near Moscow, Sir - -Charles estimates that of the 9,000,. 000 soindlcs mntiinir in Russia br t'ore the revolution not more than !(W.0OO or 300,000 are now operating, Industry Nationalized. The experiences of the English imager of the Moscow factory were told as an example ot the mctn- ctra employed by revolutionists in dealing with one of Russia's great industrial assets, the textile factories in the Moscow district. Ilus par ticular mill carried on all the pro. cesses from cotton soinnitia; to tli4 finished Dfodnct. 17,000 workers having been 'employed under nor; ma! ooeratinir conditions. When the bolsheviki assumed nower the whole cotton industry was nationalized. At every mill commit tees were formed and finally, in tober. 1919, a decree was issued that r.il who had been connected with the former 6wn?ts would have to leave. With the experts gone, the mill topped. After a thne attempts were made to restart it, but it was almost impossible to obtain raw cotton. Small quantities wefe obtained, which after being diluted with 75 per cent waste, was put through the processes. Machinery it Abused. ''I he machinery now is in a very bad state, in such a state, in fact, that it would be almost impossible to operate the factory properly, ac cording to the information given air Charles. Whenever machines are damaged other machines are de nuded of parts to repair them. - Sir Charles stated that there was little possibility of English workmen Koing to Russia for employment in textile factories. Mills in Germany and Austria were turning out only from 25 to 30 per cent of the nor mal production, he said, and Eng lish workers faced the almost im possible task of making up for the four and a half years' stoppage of textile manufacture owing to the war. -,..','. ;-v'v. Lutherans Condemn War ' Rules on Missionaries Washington, Oct. 27. The bien nial convention of the United Luth eran church finally adopted resolu tions urging revocation of war-time restrictions on missionaries. The action presumably was aimed at the British government, which was fre quently named in the debate. ' Objection by members that it was not wise at this time to pass the statement of principles to which the resolutions were attached were voiced during the debate. Full voting rights for members oi church boards will be asked by the v.jomen's missionary society, by Mrs. JG. Traver of New York, president., tomorrow. , , , . British Union Chief Hopeful of' Settlement Soon I Feeling of Optimism Concern ing English Coal Miners Strike Expressed in v , All Quarters.. By JOHN STEELE. New York Tlmw- hl Triban CbU. Coprrtcbt. mo. London, Oct. '27. '"I am hopeful that the end is near." sayi Fred Winstone, South Wales miners? leader, on leaving a conference at which the miners' leaders and repre sentatives of the coal mine owneis met with the government. This epitomizes the feeling of; op timism concerning the labor situation which is found in all quarters todav. The government officials are still more definite saying they expect the crisis will be dissolved within 24 hours. The first move toward peace this morning was a two-hour meeting of the miners' executives in their head quarters, after which the full execu tive committee went to Downing s'reet. Shortly after their arrival it was announced that the conference no longer was an "unofficial conversa tion," but that official negotiations had been resumed. Both sides were pledged to secrecy, but it is known that definite pro posals towards settlement of the strike were put forward by Lord George which the miners' 'executive xmmittec was disposed to think ac ceptable. , . If, after discussion, they confirm this opinion, a full delegate meeting will be called tomorrow in London. This body has the power to call off the strike if- it agrees to the orooos- als. If, it disagrees, however, it is unlikely it will take the responsibil ity of rejecting the plan without a further ballot of the whole member ship of the miners' federation. According to reliable authority abroad an outline of the proposed settlement embraces the following poiuts: The miners will get two shillings per shift wage increase immediately. Wages will be hxed m future on a basis of the profits, coal owners' committees being established for the purpose of determining these profits and speeding up the output, which is the country's greatest necessity. There will be pit committees, both district and national. The owners agree to do their best to improve facilities including pro vision of new machinery, more trucks, and better mine arrange ments, while the miners promise to try with all their power to end ab senteeism which now is one of the greatest factors in the low output. A board will be set up which will re view the whole coal position on De cember 31, and wages will rite or fall according to. the recommendations of this board, based upon the finan cial condition of the mines. Cox Justified Opposition ' to League, Says Orator "The campaign is over, because when Governor Cox, at Huntington, W. Va., said that he Svould sit down with the senate and reach an agree ment before our going into the Jeague of nations' he justified the opposition that has been spoken against the Wilson league," declared Dana Van Dusen, speaking Tuesday night at Fifteenth and Dodge streets under the auspices q the Douglas County Republican club. A large crowd cheered him lustily.' Partial Eclipse of Moon Is SeerfFrom Omaha Following a cold, still, clear night in which the moonlight was unusual ly strong, a partial eclipse of the moon was visible' from Omaha be tween 6:28 and 6:40 yesterday morn ing. . j Rays of the rising sun, disseminat ing from a clear sky, soon rendered the eclipse invisible as the moon set. The eclipse, announced several days ago by Professor Rigge of the Creigliton university observatory, af fected an upper section of the lumin ary to about one-sixth. .The moon looked as if a dirty finger had been laid across the upper left section. Ac cording to Professor Rigge, the eclipse was total, as seen from points farther west than Omaha. Revolt Stamped Out. . Buenos Aires, Oct. 27. A brief but unsuccessful revolution broke out in Bolivia, according to advices received here today. The move ment was immediately suppressed and 27 of its ringleaders were ex ecuted.
