companies in the Blackstone valley.
which had not announced a reduction
Of wages. decided to post notices to the
that effect. Last night the state ex-
ecutive comElktee Of the mule spinners
association of Rhode Island met. It
vas stated that the delegates reported
that the feeling in the state against a
reduction of wages runs every high.
The wages received at the present time
by these operatives are much too small
to properly support their families, it
was said. Tie average pay of the mule
spinners in the Pawtucket valley Is s.
per week and in the Blackstone valley
$3.50.
Feelng Is Strong for Fight,
In the Blackstone valley the mills
manufacture much the same class of
goods as are made in New Bedford. Re-
ports were received last night from
mills in Arctic. River Point, Quidnick,
PQntiac, Natick and other Pawtucket
and Blackstone valley villages, and
without exception they favored resist
ing the proposed reduction 1t was
stated that the operatives Of Rhode
Island worked sixty hours per week,
as against fifty-eight hours in Massa-
chusetts cities. and yet the pay is in
favor Of the Massachusetts operatives.
The various mills above mentioned are
controlled by the B. B. and r. Knight
Manufacturing company, employing
abput 1900 people and operating 425, 900
spindles.

Boston, Jan. THE National LOOM
ixers' association conference yesterday
adopted n resolution calling for a ma
tional eight-hour law and indorsing
Representative Lovering's bill calling
for uniform hours of labor in all
states OF this country. 1t was declared
by the delegates that competition is de-
stroying capital; also destroying the
laborers by overwork; that the lower
ingof wages through competition brings
on starvation, thus creating a. fruitful
field for disease, and that the corlpeti-
tive system is destroying more wage
earners each year than were killed dur
ing the civil war. 1t was resolved that
all industries should be placed in the
hands of the national government. A
resolution was adopted calling for a ma
tional referendum law.
