SITUATION IS CRITICAL.
HaverhlI Shoemakers Feel That They Must
Have More Pay at Once.

Haverhill, Mass, Dec. 26.-Ihe situh-
tion of affairs in this city in connection
with the shoe industry is critical. Work
men in factories generally feel that they
are earning far too small wages and that
the manufacturers can afford TO increase
their pay. They say that many workmen,
even the skilled portion, are obliged to
work for less than 50 week, and wages
have not been advanced since the panic
times of last year
The manufacturers say they should be
glad TO pay more, but cannot get "a new
cent back for an old one. They affirm
that they depend chiefly upon the discount
upon purchases and sales for a profit,
They have, they say, to compete with the
country factories, and Haverhill price for
shoes must be regulated by out-oftown
factory price. So far as the consolidated
method lasting machine is concerned,
the machine has not had n fair trial, and
they feel sure that the lastcr will be en-
ablcd to earn good wages when they be
come better acquainted with it. They
produce instances where two men lasted
five cases n day, the operator receiving go
cents case the pullcr over OF uppers 80
cents case, giving one So and the other
50. 80 for the days work. Five cases n day
can be lasted on an average by two men
when the fun power of the machine is
brought out.

AN EHGLiSHmas's VIEWS
On the Fall River Mill Operatives Condition
and Subject o! Trades Unions.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 26.-David
Holmes, president of the Nor,IIcrn Coun-
ties Amalgamatcd Association of England,
spent portion of today looking about
the mills of the city and conversing With
representatives of the operatives union,.
In IA communication, this morning, he
expressed much surprise that the Ian
c,shire men employed in the mills had
not long since devised standard or uni
versal list of prices 10 be paid for weaving
various kinds of cloth. Such a list has
beed used in England for 80 years, though
the particular law has only been in force
there for two years
His conception of trades unions is an
organized body with very strong fund
at its back He considers strikes in the
nature of wars that should not be engaged
in until an absolute refusal to talk of the
matter in dispute is received
Il regard it woful thing to allow
members of "a union to leave work when
they haven't funds to support them u
great while" he said. He thinks the
cosmopolitan character Of the population
in this and other American cities will be
great hindrauce for many years to the
growth of trades unionism among the tex.
tile workers of New England.
"In England" he says, children are
brought up to know the advantages of
paying to trades and supporting each
other i'll times OF dispute"

Washington, Dec. GA caucus of the

Springer. chairman of the committee on
banking and currency, said, today, that
he would strongly favor the suggestion OF
having a party caucus.
While the caucus might not be binding
upon those present, the general effect
would be good and it would be better, in
his opinion, he said, that the merits OF
dement's of the bill be fully discussed in
private before it was brought to vote.
Springer said he had no doubt that the
