Some of the girls say that they will not remain under the proposed schedule oi work and pay, and will undoubtedly leave the employ of the company, but most o those employed in this department reside with their parents in the; village, and will be compelled through necessity to accept the terms offered them; but the new rates will not take effect for several days yet The water in the river has not fallen se that the mills can be run. The change re gently announced related to the '.winder< and doublers," and the situation is thus described: Some time ago the mill reduced its employees in this department one third.

Formerly the girls were paid according tc skill, the class managing one side of 8 frame getting 90 cents daily, and the more skillful class, tending one and one half sides, getting $1.37. This new change of the company will compel each girl, re gardless of skill, to tend two sides of 6 frame, and the wages will be fixed at a uni form rate of $1 day, the change, invol wing in the one case less pay with more work, and in the other slightly advance pay for double the former work.
