manufacturers that an advance might be
expected as soon ms the market for light
weight goods would warrant IL. The help
gave out that the 18th OF July, OF next
Saturday. must see the advance forth-
coming, else there might be further
trouble. 1t now appears that there Is 10
be an increase, but IL Will in all proDa-
bility not take effect until the 9TH OF Aug
ust, which will be but three weeks later
than the time designated by the help
This raise will be from to 10 per cent,
varying in different departments, and
will effect all but the Atlantic Mills in
Olneyville. Farnell's Mill at Central Falls
will probably be one OF the number
affectd by the new wage schedule.
The claim that the manufacturers In
this textile center pay and propose TO pay
the best wages in New England is
likely to be proven TO the gladdening OF
many thousands OF operatives here.
The several mills are running nearly
full time in their various depaI tments at
present, and with bright prospect OF a
better market in the near future and with
II more money for the wage Garner there
is a noticeable lack of that unrest that has
been apparent in this vicinity since the
strike OF 1893
