WAGES Will Be REDUCED.
Course Forced on Rhode Island Mills by the Action Taken
al New Bedford.

The cotton mill problem is rapidly as
suming an aspect that will bring it di-
rectly home TO the people OF this state.
Hitherto IL has been looked upon as a
yeiy interesting situation. the ou u,come
of which was watched with interest.
Fears were expressed that the movement
of reduction in wages. which started In
Fall River and gradually spread TO other
centres of cotton manufacture i'm New
England. would eventually reach the
Rhode Island mills. But it was known
that the leading manufacturers in this
state were opposed 10 any such action
and IL was hoped that the question
would be settled without affecting the
wages of the mill operatives here. So
many have looked on IL almost as an out
side question.
But the Rhode Island manufacturers
have found that IL will be impossible TO
hold out against all the other manufac'
turers. and the crisis came yesterday
when the New Bedford mills fell into
line with the others.
The Goddard mills will, before long.
adopt new schedule of wages
Col. X. ii. /. Goddard stated today to
News representative that they had de-
cided that n reduction should be MADE
and IL would be along the same line as in
Fall River and other places. Due notice
would 6e given just when this was TO
90 into effect. Col Goddard said further !:
1.-THE action taken at New Bedford yes
terday made IL clear TO US that we should
have TO get into line with the rest. We
have fought this from the start and tried
% ward II of, and It is mos: reluctantly
that we have made our decision.
Il should have preferred 10 Keep the
wages where they are anu run shorter
hours for, say four months, but as the
rest decided 10 run full time we shall be
obliged TO do the same. No doubt the
first action taken in Fall River was
largely uue 10 Southern competition.
The low wages and standard OF living
with the 10 niger no urs there make IL very
ha ri for us 10 compete with them. In
our mills wages were almost never higher
than at the present time, except in the
period of initiation during the war. And
the working man lives cheaper TO-DAY than
ever before. 1 do not think that the cott III
manufacturing business viii ever leave
New England for the South, but things
will have TO equalizo themselves. Inc
South has no advantages over US here
other than wages and length OF worsing
hours. In Georgia and South Carolina
do not see as they have any ADVANTAGES.
