BIG MILL STRIKE is NOW ON.
Cotton Operatives Refuse to Accept
Cut in Wages.

A reduction in the wages of 1896 OPP
eratives employed in nearly $50 cotton
mills in New England, which the manu-
facturers decided upon as temporary
remedy for the depression in the cotton
goods industry of the North, went into
effect Monday morning.
In six of the mill centers, namely, New
Bedford, Biddeford, Saco, Fall River,
Fitchburg and Lewiston, 1915 mill
hands struck. The twenty-five mills of
the former city, which gave employment
to $3.50 hands, were shut down because
the operatives have refused to accept the
reduction, and the strike thus inaugurated
promises to be one of the most protracted
and stubbornly contested in the history
of the textile industry. The operatives
are fighting for the abolition of the filming
system, in addition to restoration of
wages. There was no violence about the
mill gates, and no large gatherings on the
streets.
The $500 employees at the Laconia and
Pepperell mills at Biddeford refused to
go to work under the new schedule and
it is thought the strike there will not be
settled easily. About 1 600 Of the work
ing force at the York mills in Saco went
The Androscoggin mills at Lewiston and
the King Philip plant in Fall River were
handicapped by strike of a number Of
the hands and the Queen City mills Of
Burlington, VT, are closed on account of
a strike which followed the posting Of
notices of q reduction. In Fitchburg 225
employees of the Nockege mills struck. and
in the King Philip mills at Fall River
LOO quit. In Burlington 800 are out
and in Lewiston 1900 struck.
The mills in Fall River with the ex
ception of the Fall River Iron Works and
Durfee & Seaconnett plants, reduced
wages Jan. 3, on the same day cut down
went into effect at the big Amoskeag cor
poration of Manchester, the Naumkeag
pills at Salem, the China, Webster and
Pembroke mills at Suncook, n. H., and a
number of towns in Worcester County.
The Fall River mills employ about q 900,
the Amoskeag 5000, and the others which
adopted the new scale the first of the
year about 5000 hands.
The reduction Monday affected the cot
ton mills of Maine, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, the mills of New Bedford, Lowell
and large number of smaller centers in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In
New Bedford alone 500, 100000 capital is
rendered idle by the strike.

strongly appealing for additional appro-
prlatlon to prevent reduction in deliy-
erles. Allison, chairman of the Appro-
prlatlon Committee, expressed the opinion
that there was defect in the admins
tratlon OF the free delivery system, that
the appropriation was either not equally
divided between cities or that the Post
master Generals estimates to Congress-
were too small.
Wolcott said that he desired to call the
Senate's attention to the real basis of the
trouble with the financial affairs of the
Postoffice Department. ct is well I'M
derstood," said he, that second class
mail in this country absorbs 65 per cent
of the expenses of the Postoffice Depart
ment and supplies only about 3 per cent
OF the revenues. This is the serious point
of this discussion and if Congress should
enact into law measure relating to Sec
ond class mail matter which can be laid
before Congress a recurrence of the pres
ent difficulty will be obviated.' Wolcott
then called attention to the opposition of
the publishers of New England to the en-
actment of the bill restricting second class
matter.
Allen of Nebraska thought the great
point involved in the discussion of the
postoffice finances was the charge that
there was an annual leakage of from 49,
100000 to $1O,0OO,OOO on account of un-
derweighing mail matter.
