APRINT CLOTH FOLLY.

II is impossible to calculate in money
values the injury done to business by
the action of some manufacturers who
attempt to deceive their operatives as to
the actual condition of the market for
their products, by offering them below
their real saleable value as has been done
at Fall River during the recent strike.
1t is generally known among manu-
facturers in this city that few Of the
managers of mills in Fall River have
sold print cloths at 2I cents and have
offered them to purchasers at even lower
figures, at time when better prices
could have been obtained, apparently for
the simple purpose Of depressing the
market and thereby forcing their en-
ployts to accept cut in wages.
THE News does not wish to discuss
the merits or dement's of strikes OF TO
add 10 the feeling Of distrust so unfortu-
nately prevalent between the working
man and his employer. But such
action as is noted here is not limited
in its effects to the two parties directly
interested. 1t demoralizes the whole
trade in print cloths and is largely re-
sponsible for the condition of uncertainty
now existing and the disposition Of print
ers to wait until forced to buy.
When the manufacturers in Fall River
say that they believe the present price
and strong market a superficial one that
will weaken as soon as the mills start
again, they are simply begging the
question. There are no regular spot
goods in the market aud the
position of B. b. q X. Knight, when
they announced that long shut down
or reduction OF wages was not neces-
sary, has been amply proved by the
outcome Of the strike and 10y the will
ingness of mill owners to resume opera
tions Monday in Fall River il they can
have a reduced scale of wages long
enough to work out some existing con-
tracts for goods at lower prices than now
obtain.
The whole market is in better con
dition, and, in the opinion of competent
judges, print cloths will sell much
higher before they sell lower, unless an
artificial quotation is again made, and IL
Is doubtful IL that would have weight
much longer. IL Is further TO be said,
in yindication of some purchasers.
that they refused goods offered
at cut prices for the purpose Of depress-
