represented by the personal attendance of the
officers of corporations and many more by
letter or by authority given to gentlemen
from other cities. The object of the meeting
VAS to hear the report of committee pre-
vlously appointed on the subject of reducing
the production of cotton mills one third, in
order to rc-establish the true relation between
supply and demand The committee in their
report stated they had strong conviction
confirmed by the general opinion of those en-
gagged in this business. That a large reduc.
ton OF work is imperatiyely required in the
existing state of things, and believed that
such an opinion will be sufficient to lead all
to cooperate in such reduction as is called
for alike by their several interests and the
general good.
They also expressed the opinion that four
full working days of ten hours each would
best promote the interest Of the employed
and employers during the contiruerrc #
such reduction. But that -, ~ would g.,
many cases in which different mode of
reaching the same result would be preferred
That each party mus, be free to judge as to
the duration OF any reduction which they NAV
make, butit now seems if it should con-
time for at least three months. The report
OF the committee was accepted, also propo-
sltion recommending the cotton manufac-
turers of New England to reduce their uro-
duct from and after Oct. |, and invite eli the
manufacturers OF New England TO meet again
IN Boston, Oct 2sth, in order To take such
action as the. state of the business may then
seem to require.
