One of the most striking figures in the industries of this country, Sir Charles Wright Macara, the many-sided chairman of the com- mittee of the international federa- tion of master cotton spinners a-nd president of the English federation of master cotton spinners, is once more a man of the moment as a re- sult of the present critis in the cot- ton trade, which he has just dos- cribed as "the greatest in the his- tory of the industry,'' writes a London correspondent. This crisis, which has arisen out of the refusal of the employes of one of the big- gest mills in Lancashire, the Bee- hive, at Bo! ton, to work under an overlooker against whom they have made complaints threatens to cul- minate in a lockout which would directly affect over 650,000 persons in this country, and, indirectly, 1,330,000. The claims to distinction of this popular baronet, who at 68 is still the embodiment of vigor, occupy almost a full column of Who's Who. It notes that besides being mana- ging director of the Banner-man Mills at Manchester and originator of the now famous Lifeboat .Satur- day movement, he is a J. P. of Lan- cashire, chevalier of the Legion of Honor, chevalier of the Order of Leopold, and that he possesses the Grand Crus divl Merito Agricola, as well as the Order of the Red founded the Lifeboat Saturday Fund, now a national institution, ia rather an interesting o>n. Some time ago he took a houae at Saint Anne's-on-Sea. The coast in this n/eighbcrhccd is one of the most dangerous in England. One stormy night there was a wreck and three lifeboats went to the add of those on b<,a.rd. So furious was the atorm that two of these boat* were unable to reach the wrecked vessel and went djwn with their crews. This inci-dnii made such an impression on Sir Charles that shortly after- ward he started the Lifeboat Satur- day Fund, which provod a huge suc- 6ec. He directed it until 1896.
