Wage Cut-Labor News.

Boston, Dec. S1.-The action of the
cotton manufacturers in New Bedford
and Rhode Island, in deciding TO join
the movement to lower the wage
scale in January, which was inaugu-
rated by the big corporations of Fall
River, makes the reduction practically
a general enc throughout the New
England states. Cotton mills in Fall
River, Lowell, Manchester, Salem, Sun
cook, NewhaInp and number of
smaller places have already posted
notices of a reduction amounting from
10 to II lis per cent In New Bedford
it is understood the cut-down applies
to the cloth mills only
AS far as known, the reduction in all
the mill centers applies to treasurers,
superintendent, overseers and clerks,
as we'll as TO the spinners and other
operatives.
New Bedford. Mass, Dec. 31.-The
mills treasurers thave held a secret
meeting to consider the situation in the
cotton industry, after a protracted con-
ference adjourned without taking any
action Those present declined to talk
but it is generally believed that tomOr-
rows meeting will result in the decis-
ion to reduce waghs II 1929 per cent, the
same as IN ran RIVER 1t has been
generally considered ever since the
stand taken by the Fall River manu-
facturers that New Bedford would be
forced into line.
Everybody in labor usually takes the
cue from Fall River, although there
was an occasion when New Bedford
alone was decided on as the battle
ground. 1t is unlikely to be the case in
the present crisis, however. and the
prediction may be safely made that the
New Bedford operatives will quietly ac-
quiesce in the ultimatum of the manu-
facturers.
The owners of the cotton cloth and
weaving mills in this city have voted to
