The Strike at Paterson.
To the Editors of The Tribune:
PATERSON, Friday, July IL


To the Editors of The Tribune:
In your paper Of this date find an artl-
Gle headed Paterson" and signed "N., IN which,
among other matters, the writer notices the Strike
among the hands of this place. He says " The Cot
ton factories have all reduced the wages, usually
from one-haf to entire days pay IN the week
Again, he says In many the mills the machinery
is of very imperfect kind, add to which, 1t Is so
much worn, and the capital invested so small, that
there is less chance of competing with the Eastern
manufacturers, than those have with the European
market"
II is very mortfying TO every well wisher of your
paper and of the cause of human progress, which
YOU so earnestly and honestly advocate, that such
imperfect and unjust statements as the ABOVE should
have found their way INTO your columns.
II is not true, NJ suggests that the machinery II
so much worse IN Paterson than IN the Eastern
States that therefore the manufacturers here cannot
compete with those IN New England. The manu-
facturers of Paterson ask favorS or sympathy on
this account believing that the mach merry IN Pater-
son is quite as good as In any other place
The simple state of the case Is as follows: The
Legislature OF NewJersey, al its last session, passed
law that after the 4th of July, the hours of work IN
the manufactures of the State shoudb 10 hours per
| day andno more. When the time came the hands
refused to work longer than 10 hours, at the same
time demanding the same wages per week for 90
hours work, which they had before been receiving for
60 hours.
NAV nudge of the character of the commune alton
which NJ saw fit to make. From this statement it
will be perceived that the Cotton Factories made no
reduction of wages they sought change or atera-
ton whatever. Again, the inability to compete with
the East does not from the difference IN the
machinery AS NJ suggests but from the difference III
the time of working the hands II is not difficult TO
perceive that Paterson, compelled to work only lO
hours per day 10 pay the same wages rents interest
on capital invested, &c. cannot compete with the
Eastern States working as they do their hands from
I2} to ii hours per day. Under such state OF things
any one II appears to me, ought to see that the man
ufacures OF wJersey must be sacrlhced' there is
no help for them.
1t is notorious that Notwithstanding the great noise
that has been made IN the Eastern States about
the rights of men and women, (and If the writer NJ
is Yankee he may look at home,) they have orked
their hands in the Cotton Mills l3 hours per day,
while Paterson for about Is years past has only been
working III hours, vet with this disadvantage Paer
son has paid about as good wages they have, and
to INV certain knowledge has been preferred by the
hands who have worked In the above named places.
