Sunday by delegates of typographical

not give In. The various organizations
throughout the county will be officially
notified through this council when the
trouble is settled. The report that the
other building trades were not giving

erroneous. The council asked for no

A COMPETITOR OF NEW ENGLAND,

That there was a growing feeling OF
solicitude in New England az 10 the effect
which the expanding manufacture Of cotton
goods in the Southern States would have
upon the prosperity Of the cotton factories OF
the New England States, has long been OBJ
served, but the extent Of this solicitude has
never been fully recognized until recently.
1t has found probably the freest expression
in q speech which was delivered in the
present month before the Committee on
Labor in the Massachusetts Legislature by
Mr.. William G. Lowering. the president Of the
Arkwright Club of Boston. and one Of the
leading cotton manufacturers in the New
England States. This speech is entitled 10 a
conspicuous place as showing how much
reason the people Of the South have for
looking forward with the highest confidence
TO their industrial future if they will only
make the greatest use Of the advantages
which they possess.
The dangers which threaten us, said Mr..
Lowering. referring 10 Southern cotton fac
tories. ARE coming nearer and nearer year by
year, month by month and day by day. They
and imperilled others. Westward and South
ward have fed our iron industries. Natural
advantages of other localities. changes in pop
ulaton and facilities of transportation beyond
our borders have worked incalculable injury
to our Commonwealth. The story Of estab-
fishing manufactures in Massachusetts, is an
interesting one. The early settlement of
Plymouth colony was. humanity speaking.
mistake-of navigation; there they remain
ed and planted colony with q steadfast
spirit that has challenged the admiration of
the world. Her soil did not yield such re-
turn for labor as that of neighboring States
For time it looked dark for the old State.
AT length cotton manufacturing began 10
spring up, and so rapidly did it grow that she
rose TO the sixth place in the Union, and has
held It ever since. Until within few years
she has maintained an unquestioned
supremacy in cotton manufactures, but il
has been proved that wheels go round
as fast in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi as
in Massachusetts,, that the climate and con-
ditiOns are rs conducive 10 cotton spinning in
the Southern rs in the Northern States. II is
mistake TO think that Massachusetts, pos
sesses any substantial advantages over other
States. 1t is a mistake TO ssy that there are
not many points in the South where cotton
can be manufactured as easily, quite as fine
and of as excellent quality as here in New
England. Their labor is cheaper and un-
trampled by legislative restriction, where the
cotton grows Mt the mill door, where the
sentiment Of the community is actively in
favor of every possible aid that will nourish
and encourage the manufactures. Scarcely
day goes by that Massachusetts msnufactu-
rers and capitalists do not receive some new

Our Unreadiness for War.


It would be an extraordinary thing if tho
New Orleans lynching should be the signal
for a general European war. Italy could at
tack this country only by sending the bulk Of
her navy 10 our shores. II would be q great
strain on Italy's finances and would so cripple
her resources "a 20 make her a very weak ally
for Germany and Austria. Russia and France
would probably regard the absence Of an
Italian feet from the Mediterranean as a
favorable opportunity for settling scores with
the triple alliance.
But If an Italian fleet should come we
could muster 10 meet il only the following
ships: The Nlantonomoh. a double tur-
reted armored monitor. carrying four 10
inch rihed guns: unarmed cruisers. the
Chicago four S-inch, eight 6-inch. and two
5-inch guns the Baltimore. four s-inch and
six 6-inch guns; the Charleston. two s-inch
and six 6-inch guns; the Philadelphia.
Newark and San Francisco. each twelve C.
inch guns, the Atlanta and the Boston, two
s-inch and 6-inch guns; the Yorktown.
the Concord and the Bennington. each six
6-inch guns dozen or fifteen wooden cor
vettes OF no value whatever in modern sea
battle, and thirteen old monitors, unfit 10
go 70 sea, each carrying two - or l5-inch
smooth bore guns. We have also one dyna-
mite thrower-the Vesuvius- one or two
good torpedo boats.
All the other craft are either unfinished or
obsolete. and could not possibly be used in a
war at this time. We could not muster. all
told. o squadron capable Of meeting one first
class Italian battle ship.
