1t is stated that the National Mule Spinner s
Association have recently notified the Agents
and Treasurers of some of the cotton and wool
en- manufacturing establishments of this vicin-
ity, that they shall work but ten hours day
after April first. AT an informal meeting of
some of the Treasurers in Boston to-day, the
SUBJECT was discussed, and it appeared TO be
almost the unanimous opinion that no dicta-
ton on the part of the operators should be SUBJ
United to, even if the mills were compelled to
stop, as a suspension of manufacturing at the
present time would relieve rather than EN-
barass owners.
At a meeting of the stockholders of the Bos

necessary in order to secure the object, they are
authorized to guaranty bonds to the owners OF
