TO REDUCE WAGES.
A Movement is on Foot
in Fall River.

FAN River, Mass, August 3O.-An
manufacturers in this city, calling for d
reduction in wages OF II 10 per cent to
take effect Monday, September II, affect
ing all Fall River operatives and the sig
natures Of mill agents representing about
1000, CO0 spindles or one-third OF the cor
poratiOns of the city, have already been
obtained The fact that such an agree
ment is in circulation is guarded with
the utmost secrecy and Members of the
selling COMMITTEES of the manufacturers
association deny any knowledge of its ex-
istence. But the statement made above is
confirmed by treasurers who have been
approached for signatures and by others
who have already signed the agreement.
The agreement which it is proposed to
put into effect on September II, the end
OF the present curtailment term. without
reference to the effect which the shut
down may have at that time upon market
conditions, calls for reduction based
upon present prices of weaving regular
64x64s. The rate now paid is 1913 cents
per cut and a reduction of II 10 per cent
would make the new wage scale basis
IS cents per cut.
The causes for the secrecy observed in
circulating the agreement lie in the fact
that by making the plan public now,
stockholders who are opposed to a reduc-
ton at this period sof the year might
thwart the scheme of the selling commit
tee and that buyers might discount the
effect OF the reduction and Insist upon
proportionate decrease in the print cloth
question, The mill men who are pu shing
the plan for reduction contend that an
Is cent basis is the only one on which
mills IN this city can be run Drofitably,
except in times of extraordinary de-
mand and high prices, such as were noted
last fall.
1t is pointed out that the margin today
is but 5634 cents, and if regulars alone
were figured it would be but 81 3-8 cents.
When the reduction of January, 1898, was
made to IS CENTS the margin was 81, and
when wages were increased to is cents,
in February, 1899. it was 7134. When the
last advance was made to the present
rate, the margin was 90.
In view Of the fact that mills like the
Border City, Shove, Union, Davol, Park
or, Hargraves, King Philip, Flint, Ark
wright, Bourne and Fall River Iron
Works have been paying extremely large
dividends ana in some instances running
nights to keep up to the demand for their
products it is difficult to understand how
they can consistently abide by or sign an
agreement calling for such a decrease in
the wages of Fall Rivers mill popula-
ton. Opponents OF the plan claim that
while there is no demand Tor goods, a re-
ductiOn of wages cannot solve the market
problem which confronts mill men to-
day. Curtailment of production a is the
only means of relieving the market and
creating a demand, A movement is on
foot to create a strong opinion among
stockholders, which, if it materiaI1zes,
within few days, may be able to pre-
vent the reduction agreement from being
carried out. This movement is the only
means by which the reduction can be
aveTbed- Otherwise, according to present
Indications wages VIII be placed on an
Is cents basis September II.

AN UNJUST TAX.
Continued from first page.

this tax The railroad company con-
| tended that there was no authority for
such proceeding, and Judge Johnson
took that view of the question. This was
the only thing involved in the case,
namely: Whether. under the laws Of
Colorado railroad company could be
thrown into the hand of receiver simply
because the company saw fit 10 challenge
the validity of any tax. 1t seemed to us
that an order placing our property in
the hands of a receiver would be very
harsh land drastic measure.-one for
which there is no authority in law, and
we are glad to say that Judge Johnson
took this view of it.
There was no such question involv-
ed in the case as whether railroad com
pany could be made to pay its taxes, but
the sole matter in controversy was
whether there was any authority to ap
point receiver if railroad company
declined to pay what it conceived to be
an illegal tax.
"Inasmuch as every other county in
the state has seen fit to recognize this 10
per cent reduction, and has settled with
the railroad companies on that basis, we
cannot understand why the authorities
of Boulder county should persist in try
ing to collect tax which all the other
counties have practically conceded to
be unjust and illegal. think am safe
in asserting that Boulder county is the
only county in the state which has re.
fused to allow this 10 per cent reduction
according to the direction of the state
board. Inasmuch as other railroad
companies have not been compelled to
paw this tax, we do not see any reason
why a discrimination should be made
against the Colorado & Southe IN in
Boulder county. We have labored in
every way possible to build up the inter-
ests of this county and this city, have
paid our taxes promptly at all times in
the past and pay on every dollars worth
of property which we have in this county.
Under such circumstances it has always
seemed to us that an effort to make us
pay more than other railroad companies
are paying in other counties in proper.
ton to the amount of property that we
own, is eminently unfair. This company
will continue to work for the interests of
Boulder and Boulder county the same
as it has done in the past, and to make
the service on our lines between Boulder
and Denver all that people of this city

1t is feared that some will think the
Pinafore prices unnecessarily high. To
these we would say that it is great ex.
pense to put these operas on, and that in
former years the returns had been small
compared to the labor and time expend
ed. Moreover, the entire net proceeds
go on the piano fund of the School of
Music and not one Of the performers or
directors gets a cent out of it. The
people of Boulder cannot do better than
to support school of music which has
come here to stay and at the same time
they will get big worth for their money.
