ABSTRACT
The Association of Master Cotton-Spinners in the City of Glasgow and Neighbourhood, resolved, at a Meeting held on the 3d November, 1824, to publish a state of the facts connected with the different strikes of the Operative Cotton-Spinners. The public feeling has been strongly excited, by the strikes of the operative cotton-spinners in Glasgow and its neighbourhood, and by the measure of shutting the cotton-mills. The proper character of the present unhappy difference between Master and Servant cannot be understood, without attending to the close and powerful manner in which the proprietors of cotton works are combined. It is necessary also to notice, in a general way, that at some cotton-mills the workmen have met with excessively bad treatment from capricious managers, and from improper regulations. As to the real motive, then, the cotton-spinners, and they hope the public, have made up their minds.
