Fifteen thousand operatives and forty mills
are still idle at Fall River The 4" vacation"
which commenced six weeks ago continues,
and meanwhile there is intense suffering
among the operatives. Hungry and pOorIy
clad men and women" writes correspond
ent, (" haunt the rooms of the societies, hotels
and stores, asking for relief, and at every
corner on every street, dozens OF blocking
men stand gazing about them with their
hanis In their pockets" This is a sorrowful
picture, and the question naturally arises.
was the strike judicious one in view of ali
The circumstances OF the case? Six weeks
ago the manufacturers proposed a reduction
or ten per cent. in wages in consequence of
the dizziness OF trade and the falling of of
profits The operatives declined to accent
Inc proposed reduction, and agreed to a
vacation Tin reality a striker of thirty
days, by the end OF which time it appears
they hoped considerable stock on hand would
be disposed of and their employers would be
compelled TO give them their old prices IN
fortunately for them their expectations were
not realized, and when a compromise was
proposed by two divisions of the operatives
the employers met them with the reply that
the demand for their cotton and print cloths
was still so light that they could not afford
TO give them more than the price Offered
when they struck, viz, twenty four instead
OF twenty.Seven cents per "cut." The en-
ployers say that if their former EMPLOYEES
will consent TO this they will reopen their
mills and go on, making only the barest
profit They further intimate that it NAV
be necessary TO cut down prices still 10 yer
should trade continue dull. They assert that
The employees miStoOk the signs OF the times
when they struck, and did no: give due con
siceration TO the condition of trade They
stand ready to open their mills a. the re-
duced rates proposed, and will keep them
closed only for certain time, when they
viii reopen with non-union hands.
This Is sad state of affairs, and at the
present time there seems no hope of an al
tustment- By the strike monthly wages
amounting TO SEQ coo have been lost to the
town and trades people, while So. 900 of
