The Daily News makes a remarkable announcement-

" It gives us very great pleasure to hear that the associated millowners of Manchester propose, on Sir Robert Peel's measure becoming law, to reduce the hours of factory labour from twelve to eleven. We earnestly hope that this judi- cious and well-timed proposal will be carried into effect, and that the example will be promptly followed throughout the manufacturing districts."
