Wages Among the Mills Tending

| Wages Among the Mills Tending
Downward, and the Outlook Gloomy,
FALL RIVER, MASS, Dec. 1S.-A reduc-
tisn of wages in the print cloth mills of
Rhode Island and New Bedford, and other
places in this State, is causing considera-
bic discussion among the manufacturers
and operators here. Some prominent
mill men say that a reduction of wages
must come in the near future. That this
would be resisted by the operatives, there
seems to be no doubt. The stock on
hand is now over 100000 pieces. and
the outlook is not particularly promising.
some manufacturers urge that a reduc-
tlon OF wages would be followed by a de-
cline In the price of manufactured cloth,
ana that the reduction would, therefore, not
afford any relief. The suggestion to cur
tail the production by shutting down one
day each week, does not meet with favor
One suggestion discussed is to shut down
on saturday next for one week. This
would probably be favorably received by
the operatives, most of whom would GER
talnlY prefer 1t to reduction of wages.

say that the manufacturers will weaken
after January l. The manufacturers pro-
nounce talk of that kind rubbish. The
feeling tonight is more bitter than at any
tlme since the strike commenced.
