§ Mr. ALBERT SMITHI desire to present a Petition, on behalf of 63,415 organised cotton weavers of Lancashire, praying this Honourable House to pass into law a Bill to prohibit the use of steam or any other form of artificial humidity in cotton cloth weaving sheds. I ought to 2220 say that great care has been exercised to prevent duplication, and thousands more names could have been added by weavers working in what is known as "dry" sheds.
§ Mr. GILLI am desired to present a Petition from 63,063 weavers employed in cotton mills in Sabden, Saddleworth, Wigan, Heywood, Blackburn, Rochdale, Bolton, Preston, Skipton, Hyde and Hadfield, Burnley, Oldham, and Glossop, praying that Parliament may pass a Bill abolishing the use of artificial humidity in any form in cotton cloth weaving mills.
