ANOTHER MILL CLOSED.
Forced to Shut Down Because of n
Sympathy Strike.

BOSTON, Jan 2O.--The sum total of new
features in to-days programme of the tex
tile troubles was the shutting down of the
Cabot mill at Brunswick, Me, because OF
desertion of help in sympathy with striking
weavers. and the announcement that small
mill of the Social Manufacturing Company
at Woonsocket, r. l., would shut down for
a few days for lack of orders.
A side issue brought up to-day was labor
legislation in the Massachusetts Legislature.
1t will be remembered that the Arkwright
Club in recommending a cut-down of wages
laid stress upon the competition of South
ern mills through a longer working day.
The club furthermore urged the repeal Of
the restrictive measures in force in Massa-
chusetts. With the first inkling of an at
tempt to carry out this recommendation la
Dor representatives in the House introduced
bills for new legislation for a ffty-four-
hour week, no overtime for women and chill
dren and to investigate the present textile
situation. So on the fourth day of the
strike the popular interest is directed to
Beacon Hill more than to New Bedford
Along the line of battle from New Bed
ford, Mass, to Lewiston, Me- there was alb
solute quiet. In Fall River the discomfort
is growing and the mill officials know it
and are appTehenSive.
Forecasting the future, the evidences of
stubbornness of the operatives in defending
their position is shown in Biddeford Me-,
where arrangements for serving strike ra-
tions are being made. Here the citizens,
even to Chinese laundrymen, are contrib
uting money, and societies are offering all
sorts of aid. The strike may assume acute
conditions there sooner than at any other
place. judging from local indications.
A dispatch from WoOnsocket, r. l.. says:
The Alice mills of the United States Rub
Der Company, which employ about 1,2OO
hands, We're shut down tonight for two
weeks. The Social Manufacturing Company
is contemplating the closing of its Globe
mills, employing 500 hands, at the end of
the week on account of a lack of orders.
The mills manufacture cotton cloth, and a
cut in wages of 10 per cent. went into effect
there last Monday. 1t is believed the shut
down. if it takes place, will last but a short
time The Social Manufacturing Company
Has two other large cotton mills in this
