Announcement of n Reduction OF 10
Per Cent at SuncOck.
SUNCOOK, NH, December 2O-Notices
have been posted at the China, Pembroke
and Webster cotton mills here announcing
d reduction of the wages of the operatives
of about 10 per cent on January l. The cut
down will affect the superintendents and
overseers. and, in fact, all of the employees
of the three corporations, including nearly
1900 operatives. The monthly pay roll
amounts to about $4,000. The three mills
are engaged in the manufacture Of print
cloth. 1t is probable that the cut-down will
be accepted.
Col. David L. Jewell, superintendent of
the China mills, says the reasons for the
reduction are the same as those which
caused the cut at the Fall River mills and
the Amoskeag corporation at Manchester.
NEW YORK, December 20.-The weavers
at the German looms in the William
Strange Company's mills in Paterson, N.
j., are on strike. Albert Strange, manager
of the mills, said today that his company
had been paying higher wages to the wea-
vers working the German looms than the
other manufacturers, and as it could not
continue to do SO and compete successfully
with rival manufacturers, wages had been
reduced and the men struck.
