The above is copy of a notice posted
on the door of the California Cotton-mills,
at Twenty-t ird avenue, East Oakland,
to-day. The order affects 800 men, women
and children who have been employed at
the establishment up to the present time.
Tomorrow all the machinery in the
big mills will be silent and 800 people
will be forced to witness the approach
OF winter with the knowledge that their
bread-loeker may often be empty and their
little ones mouths be untitled when they
ask for food.
One OF the foremen of the company said
to-day; Trade has much to do with it.
for in this country We have to pay living
wages, and with free trade we are thrown
into mpetition with the japanese cotton
made by millhands who receive yen a
month, or In American money about 81 20.
The hard times has affected all branches
of trade, and with this competition our
line feels them keenly.
1.-The books Of the mill show that the
average wage paid to the 800 hands is
$473 90 each year, or nearly $40 month.
II IL becomes necessary 10 run on half time
the wages Will be reduced accordingly,
leaving not quite $50 monthly for support
ing each employe."
Having to meet the issue squarely
the wage-earners of the California
Cotton mills have carefully compil ed
a table showing why protection of
home industry Is an absolute necessit v,
and were just distributing the result of
their investigations when the doleful no.
tice was posted on the doors.
The facts are set forth by the ''wage-
earners" on large full. sheet posters and
are as follows:
''The wages paid by the California Cot
ton-miils Company for labor in producing
