ton OF the textile ind .stries of New England
which has been formed so quietly that II
has escaped all notice. This organization
extends over Rhode Island and Connecticut
and already inclu es forty-nine large
woolen mills. The society was organized
Tor mutual protection. It does not recoe-
nize the authority Of the Knights of Labor
IN any way but proposes to use arbitration
in the settlement of strikes. The oroani"
zation is growing in numbers and it pro-
poses to give each strike careful considera-
tlon and to assist only those manufac
turers who are unfairly treated by their helm.

others, because it is composed OF a number
81 large mills, rather than large number
d small ones. The quiet organization
which has taken place therefore has been
with much expedition and it's

following proposition to II. w. Jewett: That
the employees of the mill were willing to work
ten hours day during the summer and nine
hours a day next winter, otherwise they
would not return. If he would accede to
this demand he need not apprehend any inter-
position from the knights for one year. Mr..
Jewett offered to run 10 hours n day in the
summer If lumber was worth Sl4 a thousand
and eight hours the coming winter. He ac-
know lodged that the men could do more labor
during the five hours they worked in the
afternoon than six hours toll in the fore
noon. Mr.. Jewett is now considering the
proposal made to him by the executive board
1t is claimed bv the latter that every manu-
factory excepting saw mills are running on a
