COTTON MANUFACTURING.
Expert Report on Southern Competi-
ton with the North.


BOSTON, December 15.-At a meeting
of the Arkwright Club, which was held
at Young's Hotel to-day, a report was
presented upon the condition of southern
competition in cotton manufacturing, and
the best practical mode Of meeting it..
The report was unanimously adopted. The
club did not consider any resolution for
carrying the policy proposed into effect,
further than to refer the matter to a
special committee.
The report in detail tells of visits to
several southern mills, and states that a
first-class, well-equipped southern mill
compares favorably with any in the
North. The committees concise opinion Is
given in these words:
1.-THE southerner finds that, with the
advantage he possesses. he can make
these goods at a cost which will allow
him to undersell our mills, and leave him
a margin of profit which is sufficient to
induce the investment of capital. And,
now, what are these advantages?
First, that cotton is conveniently
near, and that freight on it can be saved !;
second, that water-power is abundant. If
you care to utilize it, and that coal is
cheap, IL you prefer to run by steam;
third, that labor is abundant and cheap,
and not inclined to organize against the
employers; fourth, that the enactment of
restrictive labor laws is not likely TO
trouble managers for many years.
"In our opinion. the cheap labor, the
long hours, and the freedom from legis-
lative interference, are the chief advan-
tages, and the others are unimportant."
The committee, I'm summing up its re-
port, says that while manufacturers in
the North, especially Massachusetts, can
not undo labor legislation, they must
meet the competition by cutting wages.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December ID
Special 1.-THE bill which carries an APP
preparation of SG9.5Oc for the claim Of the
Richmond Locomotive and Machine
Works, for damages sustained in the con-
struction of the battleship Texas engines,
was favorably and unanimously reported
by the Committee on Claims in the House
of Representatives this morning.
When this claim was last before the
House 1t was contended, I'm opposition to
IT. by Representatives Cannon and Hop
klns, that it should not pass, solely be-
cause It had not been, as they alleged,
carefully considered by the proper COM
mittee of the House-namely, the Com
mittee on Claims. To the contrary
however, the Committee on Claims of tr~
present Congress has carefully considered
the matter, and L learn that the only
criticism which they made upon the claim,
after a full hearing, was that the Senate
had fixed the amount to BE paid the Lo-
comotive- Works at a sum amounting TO
at least $4,000 less than the company
was entitled to receive. There seems to
be but little doubt that the bill wilS pass
the House, and 1t is thought, perhaps
before the holidays.
