"The South" says Fall River cotton manufact-
urer, has gone into the cotton milling business
very extensively With the cheap labor and long
hours of the South cheap grade Of cotton goods
can be turned at much less expense The
Northern manufacturers could not stand this COM
petition. They decided to make better quality
of goods. Heretofore the fine qualities were i'm
ported abroad. Now good quality is
manufactured by the mills of Fall River and is for
home consumption. New machinery was subsu-
tuted for the old. The old hands employed IN the
mills were of sufficient experience TO turn out the
good quality. This has resulted in a decline of
imported goods. 1 do mean by this that the
South has all the cheap cotton trade There are
ten mills in Fall River and New Bedford which
turn out the cheap grade The other seventy or
eighty mills devoted to the finer grades.
