AFFECTS THOUSANDS.
Ten Per Cent. Wage Cut il Cotton
Mills of Southern New England.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 23.-The 10
cotton mills of southern New Eng
lam went into effect today, the cut
affecting fully $4,000 operatives.
From returns received today practi-
cally all of the mills Of southern and
central Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and eastern Connecticut reduced the
schedule of wages to that in force
prior to the general increase made
in 1902.
The reduction was long expected
by the operatives and NJ serious trou
bic is anticipated, though there is
| general dissatisfaction among the
workers, particularly in the Fall Riv-
er district. The reduction means a
loss in wages of between S 100000
and $4,000, 900 annually among the
cotton mill operatives.
Cotton manufacturers give as a
cause for the 10 per cent reduction
in wages which became effective to-
day the fact that they are now and
have been for a long time making
goods for sale below cost. Nearly al
hat has been gained has been due
to fortunate speculation in cotton.
1t is known that New Bedford and
Rhode Island manufacturers, who
followed the lead of Fall River in
advancing wages, have been agitat-
ing a change to the old scale for
some time. but have been urging
Fall River men to initiate the move
ment.
The mills of Fall River. New Bed
ford, Rhode Island and those at nu-
ern Massachusetts, together with
mills in eastern Connecticut, made
a general advance in wages early in
1902. Their action was not met,
however, by the cotton mills of nor
thern New England, and it is not
considered probable that the present
attack on the payroll in southern
New England will have any direct
effect in the industry further north
It was this extra advance in wages
that led to the great strike in Lowell
asst spring. The Lowell operatives
demanded the Fall River schedule
but the manufacturers there declin
ed to accede to the request. =
In Fall River about 80 mills, EN-.
pioying slightly over $4,000 men
and 40 corporations, are represented
in the agreement to reduce wages
The mills at New Bedford employ
about 10000 hands, those in Rhode
Island and eastern Connecticut about
Pa, 900, and those elsewhere which
raised wages in 1902, employ from
10000 to 10000.

OPPOSE EIGHT HOUR Avs.
Employers Organization Propose to
lake Some Action.

Take Some Action.
Ashland, O., Nov. 21.-In view of
the effort for eight hour legislation
which organized labor's representa-
tives have already begun in Wash
ington. F. E. Myers of this place.
president of the National Association
of Agricultural Implement and Vehi
Gle Dealers and a leader among the
prominent employers of the country
who have organized for the purpose
of combating what they regard as
mands of the labor unions, has Civ
en- forth the following statement of
his views:
"The tendency in the direction of
an eight hour schedule for labor de-
mands the attention of every en-
ployer. From a manufacturers stand
point, the future of our country de-
ponds very largely on whether we
can have the labor of our employees
8 to 10 hours per day and get results
as we have heretofore, or be compel
ed to recognize the eight-hour sched-
ule.
81 have always taken the position
that if we can have the services of
our artisans and mechanics from 9
to 10 hours per day, we can COM
pete against any country in the
world and, practically without pro-
lection, and hat the future of our
| country and it's growth in the intro
duction of manufactured articles in
to foreign lands depend largely on
our ability to do this. During my
travels in foreign countries l found
where the eight hour schedule exist
| ed that conditions were decidedly un-
favorable, resulting disastrously to
the employer because of his loss of
business that went to others more
| favorably situated, and the fact that
the laborer who has time to stop at
questionable resorts IN his way to
work before s a. M. and to do SO on
returning at 5 p. m, becomes demon
allied.
81 have also taken the position
that it is manifestly unfair to the
farmer who to make it pay, is com
PEELED to go to work at 6 or Z a. m,
and continue until 6 or 7 pm. The
farmer boy would become d%isconten.
leaving the farm still more rapidly
if he were to hear our whistle and
that of others at s o'clock in the
morning, and on completion of the
day at 5 o'clock. This would certain
ly have it's effect on the young mel
on the farm and is another reason
why we should have the nerve to
fight every effort on the part of the
politicians to secure an eight hour
schedule. They are largely the insti-
gators of this plan, and for political
promotion solely.
"In my judgment every member
of the National Association of Agri-
cultural Implement and Vehicle
Dealers should make it a point to
reach the ear of every one in power
in his district and oppose this grow
ing sentiment that will certainly
prove disastrous to our interests for
| tho rnaconc oiUoo ond MANY Othorc
| that might be enumerated. In my
Judgment, it is decidedly better to
advance the pay of labor working 9
reduction in time for the same pay,
and produce goods for the markets
of the world"
