WAGES

Be CUT.
Movement Of the Fall River
Cotton Manufacturers Has
Proven a Failure.

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 22-The failure
of the wage reduction movement is prac-
tically conceded by manufacturers who
have been appointed TO push IT. No
formal declaration TO this effect has been
made and the question OF reduction Will
probably be allowed 10 drop out of sight
without further attention.
There are manufacturers representing
many more than the required l15O,0OO
spindles, who believe that a reduction In
wages il needed. but all of them were not
prepared 10 enter an agreement at the
present time. Some of them objected to
entering the agreement unless IL included
a very big majority of the mills. suffi-
cient to present a practically unbroken
front I'm case of a strike. Others would
not chance "a strike because of existing
contra cts, which either are allowing
them to get out even or with small profits.
II a strike were forced and contracts
broken the mills would be liable TO losses
from resulting suits.

ling. even details like the cost of the shoes
that he wears and the wear and tear on
the property where the %youngster is raised
are to be considered. He has figured the
average Of d brood mares years of service
at twelve, and unless the produce have paid
over and above the expense of raising
them a profit sufficient to make good her
original cost, the breeder Is at a total loss
on his original investment. To Offset this
final loss the produce of q mare must sell
for enough profit over the cost of raising
to meet the original investment in the mare
and a little more if final profit is to accrue.
1t is related that after selling u bunch of
