FALL RIVERS CUT.
1t is 10 Per Cent. and Will Affect About
10000 People.

Fall River Mass, Nov. 1.-THE I'M
settled state of the cotton goods trade.
due largely to the phenomenally high
price of raw material and to a pro-
nounced hesitation on the part of pur-
chasers, compelled the manufacturers
of Fail River, this afternoon, to order
a general reduction in the wages of
their employees. The cutdown will
affect nearly 10000 operatives in this
city and it is stated unofiicially that the
action Of the local manufacturers will
probably be followed by mill owners in
southern, central and western Massa-
chusetts, Rode Island, and eastern
Connecticut, employing a total of about
10000 men. If all these manufacturers
follow the lead of this city, AS is anti
cipated by many, from $4,000 to 50, 900
textile operatives will be obliged to sub
init to cutdown The reduction in this
|clty is to so into effect on Monday
Nov. %. and amounts to ~ per cent.
Whether the radical move made by the
mill treasurers will be resisted by the
operatives cannot be stated at this time.
The action was not wholly unexpected
by the leaders of the textile unions, and
by the operatives in general. AS soon
rs news of the cut was announced hur-
ried notifications were sent to the union
officials some of whcm were in Bos-
ton, attending the convention of the
American Federation of la Dor, and ar
engagements We're perfected to call d
conference of the United Textile Work
ers as soon as possible, to consider the
outlook
The unions have recognized for
months that the cotton situation was
threatening, and in fact going from
bad to worse. During the summer and
early fall. the curtailment of produce
ton so general throughout New Eng
land, was felt more by the employees in
Fan River than any other center, and
today's news was more unweicome
than usual on this account. especially
as the winter season is at hand and
many nave been unable to maintain a
oank account. Although it will be
some time before the unions can vote
on the issue, it is thought that no gen.
eral strike will be ordered here at this
time, Tor the reason that many of the
manufacturers are short of cotton and
nave large stocks of goods on hand
whch would make a strike of little
consequence to them.

A GENERAL CUT
Of 10 Per Cent. in Fall River
Cotton Mills.
Taunton Posts Same Notice -0ther
Mills Will Follow.
Not Expected That Maine Mills VIII
Be Affected.

BOSTON, Nov. 11.-Reports from the
centers of the cotton mill industry
throughout New England, indicate that
today's announcement at Fail River
that a 10 per cent. reduction in wages
had been decided upon by the cotton
manufacturers to go into effect, Nov
rs, has caused general uneasiness due
to the belief that an equal reduction at
other places is inevitable. 1t is conced-
ed that this will be the case in Rhode
Island and eastern Connecticut. Other
cities in eastern Massachusetts, it is
thought, may follow the example set by
Fall River, though these cases are
somewhat dissmilar.
The situation in Maine and New
Hampshire, will hardly be affected.
Maine did not share in the wage adj
vance of two years ago and so has a
negative advantage now. The mill
agents at Manchester, N. H., say that
entrenchment has not been thought Of
SO far.
Representatives of the unions in Fall
River and other cities do not appear to
anticipate any concerted action on the
part of the unions in opposition to the
new ScIeuuie. Inc uHloH lHe!l nave
kept themselves well Informed as to the
state of the cotton market and today's
announcement at Fall River occasioned
little surprise.
While the outlook at Fall River from
the operatives standpoint is rather
gloomy, it should be remembered that
the new schedule is really a return to
the conditions existing two years ago,
when an advance was made by the
manufacturers. 1t was this advance in
Fall River that led to the great strike
in Lowell, last spring. The Lowell
operatives demanded the Fall River
schedule which was refused. Now the
Fall River operatives will be put prac-
tically the same as other operatives in
eastern Massachusetts.
