facturers' committee concluded its la
bors and adjourned yesterday after

for weaving a cut of 24-inch. 64x64 print
cloth will be reduced from IS to 16 cents,
and the reduction in all other depart
men.s, without reserve. will be the
equivalent Of 1l.l9 per cent. Contrary

OF odds. which are being so commonly
manufactured as to he practically
staple goods. each mill will be allowed
10 figure its own prices. merely cutting
the specified per cent. from the prices
now paid. The spinners' schedule which
has served as the basis for all wage
changes for nearly ten years will be
used as the basis In the present case,
each mill figuring the new price as IL
becomes necessary by reason of changes
in number OF yarns spun.
