HAS COST MILLIONS
NEW ENGLAND COTTON MILL MEN
TAKE A TUMBLE
/ has Been Observed That Curtallment of
Production Does Not Curtail to Any
Great Extent, Owing to the Fact That
the Southern Manufacturers are Not in
on That Sort of Deal, But Keep Right on
Making Cloth, and, Incidentally, Money,
Revolutionary as to Reducing Run
ming Time In the New England Mills,

4 Fall River, Mass, March 20-The agi-
tation over the proposed reduction in
hours Of labor for mill employees is very
strong here at present. both for and
against the movement. 4 statement of
Secretary Howard Of the Spinners union
that the competition of the southern
manufacturers would not be enhanced
by the adoption Of shorter hours in this
section is met by a declaration by one OF
the most prominent manufacturers that
in spite of the strong efforts made in
New England TO improve trade condi-
tons by a reduction Of stock, the cur
tailed production has been more than
made up by the new mills and increased
production Of the south.
II is pointed out that in a period OF
about three and a half years the mills
Of Fall River have been closed about SIX
months on al average.
Taking the pay rolls of the mills stop
ped for this period a loss of wages Of
something like 81 1885, 900 is shown. The
losses to the mills by fixed expenses,
whether mills run or stop, would be some
thing like 100000 more, or total aO-
solute loss to the city OF over $1,000, 900.
For this enormous sacrifice, il is claim
ed, no correspondent benefit has accru-
ed, but southern competitors have run
full time and filled UP the vacuum north
ern manufacturers have been trying to
create.
Fall River mill owners state that 1t
can be proven beyond question that the
southern mills producing the same ia
brics as those made in this city are MAX
ing satisfactory profits at present mar
ket prices Their taxes are merely NOM
inal; fuel in many cases is half its cost
here; the hours Of work range from 66 20
- hours weekly and labor will average
40 per cent less.
STARTED ON FULL TIME.
Salem, Mass, March 20.-The Naum-
keag steam cotton mills, which have
been running on half time since June l.
1886, started UP today on full time. The
owners state that the price of their
goods will be reduced to compete with
other manufacturers. The mills give
employment to about 500 men.
