NEWENGLAND
SHORT OF
MILL HELP

Boston. oct. l7.-Recent complaints Of
scarcity OF mill help in the textile manu-
featuring centres are emphasized by the
bureau OF statistics OF labor in a bulletin
issued today. The bulletin says:
ION all sides. a scarcity OF mill hands
Is reported. This condition OF affairs rs
not only true Of Massachusetts in the
New England states but the southern and
even the English textile centres are feel
ing the want OF skilled operatives.
Despite the fact that competent help
in Massachusetts is scarce the situation Is
not alarming and though In a few in
stances as many as 5000 looms are idle
some mills report running on fuh- ca
pacty. In New Bedford the system Of
1ning is thought TO be responsible for
the scarcity OF weavers. IL being alleged
that unjust fines are imposed and that
weavers are leaving the city for positions
fully as well paid with easier work.
We chronicle a notice just received that
more than one hundred weavers are mi
grating 10 Wesson. Miss, where they
are 10 be employed at the Mississippi
mills under n contract for one year at
s. for each working day.
The exodus of textile operatives from
Massachusetts to Canada and to England
(where the industry Is reported flourish
ing) is on the wane compared with a few
months ago. Even at that, many of the
textile workers are still leaving Massa-
chusetts and Fall River, especially in a
transitory stage.
The nationality Of the operatives is
changing according to the Bulletin. and
the workers on the whole are not consid-
cred as efficient or as thrifty as I'm the
past. Some time since the textile foreign
population In Massachusetts was largely
English but they were supplanted by the
French Canadians. who In turn gave way
largely to the Portuguese. Now the Poles
Jews and Greeks I'm large numbers arc
being employed at textile work. The in
PRODUCTION OF this unskilled. inexperienced
labor in the mills is not desired by the
manufacturers. but thev claim TO be prac-
tically forced into the position on account
OF the scarcity OF help.
