Boston n?s =, December 9.-Although
mill b,u ,usiness Of New - England agI Go'tbe the
trs. % prominently connected with the
'HS.dc would have little to say concern
ing the action of the Fall River msn-
ufacturers in voting to reduce wages,
beginning January l. Tho treasurer
Of one of the Fall River mills, who
was willing to discuss the matter, said
he regarded this cut as the beginning
of serious time, not only for the Fall
River print mills, but for all the cot
ton mills in New England. The key
to the whole situation, he said, is the
relative eheapness of Southern labor,
which could not be better shown than
by the fact that it cost the same mill
in Georgia or North Carolina 81 cents
to produce pound of material and in
New England six,cents.
With this fact in mind it is evident
that the cut Of 10 per cent. is not 60
ing to help matters much, and the on
ly thing that will do any good at pres
ent will be radical cut of say 20 or
rs per cent. This would inevitably
bring on strike, but with a cut of 10
or IL per cent, he says, there would
be little likelihood of strike, as the
operatives are well acquainted with
the conditions and know that 8 reduc-
Dion of some kind is necessary. Even
this would still leave difference of
about 25 per cent. in the cost of labor
in favor of Southern mills, too great q
difference to struggle agains: suceess-
sHlly.
In the first place, says this treas
urer, the Southern mills have every
aasuT=! advantage, thsy have cheaper
cotton and less burdensome taxation.
Some Of the big mills in Fall River,
for instance, have yearly payment of
$40, 900, SIS, 900 and even $50, 900 in
taxes to make, whereas in Georgia and
North Carolina the mills are in many
instances exempted from taxation for
ten or twelve years.
1t is in labor, however, the great
difference lies, according to the official
quoted, for the labor in the South is
as good as it is here, and, taken IS
whole, is about 33 per cont. cheapeys
The Southern laborers have had about
ten years training in mills started hv
experienced cotton manufacturers, and
attend as many machines and turn
out just as good work as operatives in
the best New England mills.
Another great advantage the South
ern mills have is not being hampered
by legislation. In Massachusetts the
hours of laborers are limited to fifty
eight q week, while in the South they
are unlimited.
The only hope for the New England
mills, according to the speaker, Is
either In the Improvement in the print
cloth market or il general evening
up OF conditions between the North
aud South.

This indicates an annual increase Of

when the total population of the
country was found to be more than

him in the face. The officers were beat

The eight Indians did not stay with

and over 100 cowboys and settlers
joined in the chase for the fugitiyes.
Close pursuit forced the Indians to
scatter. and during the next two and q

A MURDEROUS REDSKIN.
Fiendish Cruelty of the Bioodthirsty
Apache Kid,

With the exception of Geronimo no
Indian in recent years has attracted so
much attention as the Apache Kid For
some SIX years he has made sanguinary
history along the Rio Grande and the
Mexican border. The depredations of
this unique outlaw have cost the United
States some 100000 and both United
States troops and Mexican troops have
Travelled many weary miles in search OF
MIN. At different times there have been
as many as 400 trained soldiers of the.
plains, both on the American and the
Mexican sides Of the Rio Grande. in
search of Apache Kid. while military
scouts and United States marshals and
Government police officers bv the score
have labored and schemeJ long anfF
Nalnly Tor the arrest of the Indian, and
the attainment of the prize of $4,000
ohered for the taking of the outlaw.
Inc Apache Kid is a short, stocky
full-bl0Oded Indian. He is wirv and
bold and has never had an hours edu-
cation in any Government or private
school. Until he became an outlaw he
never left the State of Arizona. and he,
was attached as scout to the San Car
los Indian reservation. Back in 1889
the Kid asked permission to attend to "a.
tribal duty, for which leave of absence
was necessary. This was to kill an
other Indian who had slain the Kids
grandfather. Permission was. of course,
denied, but this did not trouble the Kid
much. One night he escaped from the
troops and shot and killed the slayer
of his grandfather. The following June
he returned to the reservation and be-
ing Immediately put under arrest, was
taken to Capt. ID. E. Pierce's tent. I'M
mediately there was excitement among
the Indian friends of Kid. and several
shots were fired through the canvas
into the tent Amid the confusion Kid
recovered his carbine. sprang aside.

The mutineerS went toward Old Mex

were s. closely pursued that they dou-
bled on their tracks and returned to the
reservation. All were arrested. Some
were hanged for murder, and Kid AID
four other scouts were court-martiale led
and sent to AlcatraZ. To the surprise
of some military officers President
Cleveland pardoned Kid and his cons
paniOns, and they returned to Arizona

INDIANS, and they were arrested by.
