THE mule spinners in the Fall Rive
cotton factories have been on a strik
} since July 81. Their action has necet
sarily compelled the weayers and othe
hands employed in the manufacture o
T cotton cloth also TO stop work, SO tina
altogether seven or eight thousand pei
sons in the town are now out Of EN-
ployment. The cause of the strike wa
an sttemptei reduction Of ten per cent
on the spinner's wages, which they 50
was uncalled for, while the milI-owr
ers say it was required by the cond
ton of the market for their goods. tn
} spinners are supported by the variou
trades organisations throughout Ne,
England, and a number of them hav
, left the place in search of work in othe
| factories. They say that they ca
| make more money with less work pr
week in any other factory town in Me-
: England than Fall River. One of thei
: special grievances is having to clea
; and oil their spinning mules out
! working hours without compensation
, SO far, they have conducted themselvs
) peaceably, and not one Of their nun
Z Der has been arrested for drunkenness
g or misconduct since the strike began
