At the sixty-third annual meeting OF
the New England Cotton Manufacture
ers' Association last week Mr. j. s. Da.
Wis, of Holyoke, Mass, presented pa
per on Flax Culture and the Mazufac
ture Of Linen in Place of Coarser Cot
tons in New England" Among Other
things the speaker said: 1T seems in.
evitable that the manufacture Of coar-
ser cottons will be gradually trans
ferred to the south Indeed, if .nis
movement toward the south continues
at the increased pace OF the last ten
years the south win be making the
larger part of the coarser cottons ran
ufactured in this country. The New
England cotton manufacturers must
face this fact squarely and with the
same indomitabie courage and enter
prise with which they have faced the
many obstacles of the past" Further
on the speaker stated that the produc-
ton Of the fax fiber has fallen from
27,133, 034 pounds in 1869 to 100000
pounds in 1897. In 1910 5,000,0 600 yards
of linen were made in this country,
whereas at present we import $50, O0O,-
600 worth of linen annually. 1t was
suggested that the abandoned farms of
New England are peculiarly adapted
to the culture of fax and that MANY
idle cotton mills could be probably
converted into linen mills.

SPOILSMEN ARE READY.
Bill to Reform (P) the Civil Service is
Prepared.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The bill for the
reform of the civil service law, which
has been drawn by a special committee
of Republican members of the house
of representatives makes sweeping
changes in the present system, the
most important of which is the estab-
lishment of a 5-year tenure of office for
those government employees who are
brought within the terms of the bill.
The measure limits the application of
the civil service system to the depart
ments in Washington and to such
other localities where the total num-
Der of employees exceeds 25. All ap-
years, with the power of removal clear
" regulated and vested in the appoint
ing power. 1t is provided, however.
that no removal shall be made for po-
Gtical or religious causes. and in case
of removal the cause shall be specified
and the papers made a record of the
office.
All persons now in the public service
are to terminate their service five years
from the time that the act takes effect.
The measure recognizes the general
eligibility of these persons for reap
pointment.
1t includes in the civil service, postal
clerks and letter carriers in Of
fees having over 10 employees, exclu-
sive of subOrdinates. It limits the eli
compensation is from 5000 to 81, 800 per
year and includes as clerks. cOpyiStS
computers, counters and craftsmen.
1t is pointed out that the essential
idea of the foregoing bill is to take out
of the civil service all responsible and
important officers, limiting it only to
clerks in Washington and certain large
cities, and in these cases fixing a tenure
of office of five years.
