To rnr EDITOR or THE NEWS:

To rnE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SIR-The British Hosiery operatives are
still on strike against reduction OF 10 per
cent. and are likely to remain SO, as Mr..
Cooper does not seem willing to arbitrate
the question. The men claim that the
hosiery operatives in England receive
a larger rate OF wages for the same class of
goods than the men receive at Thornton,
and they cannot understand how 1t is
that Mr.. Cooper cannot compete with
forign manufacturers W hen he has the ad-
vantage OF As per cent. duty on the class
OF goods made in the Thornton Mill.
Tie operatives take this opportunity OF
thanking the public for the support
which they are so literally receiving.

ARLINGTON.

Your scribe's contribution OF yesterday
got very much mixed. The compositor as
. wrestler with poor cory Is not success.
The scribe wrote that the proprietors of
the West Arlington plat had offered the
heirs OF the late Henry Fenner large sum
for their land which adjoins that of the
company, but that the ssid heirs wanted
more,
The postmaster of Arlington had little
regard Tor the comfort OF the people when
he put his building on stills.
To gain entrance thereto one must
climb four or five steps from sidewalk
on an angle of As degrees, which, when
covered with mud and ice, especially the
latter, renders the receipt of letter a
dangerous experience. "Our George"
however, Is not to blame.
The old car barn, which was cut in
three pieces and removed to the Durfee
plat, is fast assuming comely shapes. and
will make very snug ana comfortable
residences for those who are looking for
pleasant homes in the country.

The delegate from Arlington at the
Council meeting on Monday showed the
real Celtic genius for eloquence; nothing
since the days OF Daniel O'Connell has
been equal to it. His threat to ask for a
liquor license IL his house was set back,
caused that vote of indefinite postpone
ment, no doubt.

A new effort at woman's dress reform
Is being made by the managers of cot
ton mills at Saco, Me. Because Of the
accidents that have occurred through
the hair or dress Of operatives being
caught in the machinery it has been or
dered that the girls shall not wear their
hair hanging down, but must coil it
close to the head, and the waists and
sleeves of their dresses must be close
fitting, the latter, of course, being op.
posed to anything and everything at
present stylish.
