Legislature.

the mill In the other New England
states the hours are 60, and it appears
that the law is not rs strictly enforced
there as here, so that most OF the mills
in the other New England States are
run from 60 to 64 hours per week. IN
New Jersey the hours are fixed at -,
and this is the only State where the
hours are less than in Massachusetts.
AS regards the law in other respects,
we find that our State is well in the lead,
no other State equaling her either in the
law or its enforcement. In most of the
Southern States there is but little labor
legislation, and this but poorly enforced.
The mills have longer hours, say from
G6 to y per week. Much child labor
is employed. the percentage South be
ing about 81 per cent of the whole num-
ber employed to > per cent in Massachu-
setts. The speed of Southern machinery
is not 50 great, except in the new mills,
and generally the labor is not so exact
ing as here
Z. Labor Legislation.-Th manufac-
turers allege that the law fixing the
nours Of labor of women and children
ut % bears heavily on them, in competl-
tion with the other States of New Eng
land, and especially with the South.
Lney also object to the employers liabili-
ty law and to some other provisions of the
labor laws as unnecessary and irksome.
The laborers on their side say that the
present laws are no hardship to the man
ufacturers, and ask for n still further eX-
tension of some of the provisions. They
are not agreed as to further shortening
of the hours of labor. Some insist that
shorter hours instead of being a hard
snip would be help to business, but
most of them are agreed that further linz
itation of the hours of labor at the pres
ent time would severely interfere with
the running of the mills.
s. Improved Machinery-lmp improved ma
chinery has greatly increased the pro-
duct of the mills, especially in New Eng
land; this seems to be the rule now as
well as in the past. and SO far rs ap-
pears is likely to be still further con-
tinued as new processes and inventions
are made. All this reduces the amount
of labor required to produce the goods
and III many instances allows the use of
unskilled in the former place OF skilled
employees.
One particular instance Of this is in
the weaving. Until recently weaver on
coarse goods would run from six to eight
looms. Now by an invention by which
the loom is automatically fed, one weay-
er can run from 16 to 20 looms. Not on
ly has this increased the product, but at
the same time the amount of labor has
decreased.
3. Proportion of the Division of Gross
Receipts-A corporation whose gross re-
eeipts are approximately S6.000,000 has
given the committee the proportions into
which those receipts arc divided, as fol

some Of the burdens Of local taxation.
and we have gone into the subject suffi-
cieptIv to find that the taxation here is
much heavier than i'm the South. This
subject is now before another committee
Of the legislature and therefore we make
no recommendation. 1t is urged on the
mart of the manufacturers, that the law
limiting the hours of labor of women and
children to rs per week be repealed. We
have heard the parties very fully on both
sides of this question ana after careful
consideration recommend that the law re-
main as it is. We do this because we
think that all the goods the markets re-
qure can he produced Ill shorter hours
than at present prevail ana that the
other States should reduce the labor
hours to the Massachusetts, standard.
We are informed that the mills in the
other New England States are in no bet
ter condition than those here, and so con
clude that they derive no great benefit
from the longer hours they now run.
Then, too, we are informed that the EN-
ployes much prefer, if necessary, to for
felt their wages for the extra two hours
than have the hours increased
The employers liability act has been so
long the law and all parties are so well
adjusted to it that we have not seriously
considered the question of its repeal.
AS to the other labor laws, which we
understand do not seriously interfere
with the successful operation of the mills,
and have been enacted only after full
discussion, we make no recommendation
The employees on their part ask for
some amendment and addition to the la
Dor laws, but we think that the present
time, so soon after Il serious business
depression and before there has been any
general Improvement is not favorable to
the enactment of further limitation upon
the rights of capital.
