he quoted speech recently made in Lancashire,
England. by Mr.. Jackson, president OF the spinners
Union, in which he said that England could not
compete with America in the production of cotton
fabrics because American syinners worked moro
hours and pay than the English. He explained
the "truck system which prevails in the spinning
districts OF the country, which has recently been
abolished in England, and by which the spinner is
compelled to reside in houses owned by the corpora

stores ut higher prices than usual and to pay pew
rent at churches managed by the mill owners.
Before the meeting adjourned the delegates from
Fall River were received. One of them stated that
the reduction in the rates of pay made difference OF
50 per month to him. When the old rates of pay
were in vogue print cloths sold at from 80 cents

ton - the prices had advanced to AZ cents
per yard. But the re-establishment Of old wages,
which was to have followed the revival never came.
After this statement the Amalgamated Union went
into private conference with the delegates from Fall
River to decide how the payments promised by the
various societies should be forwarded to Fall River.

mentioned for nomination for the gubcrnatorial or
any other Office. Mr.. Kelly will be glad TO learn
thus, for Mr.. Kelly began to suspect that he was
being deserted by his heretofore always stanch and
