Beginning on Monday, Jan. J., 10000
operatives employed by the Amer
ican Wooden company Of this city, viii
have their wages advanced 10 percent.
The increase Will become effective in
all the thirty plants Of the corpora
tion which are situated in seven
states, and it is expected that several
mills not owned by the company will
grant a similar advance. The Scotch
worsted mills Of Woonsocket, X. l.,
controlled by an independent concern
and employing rs hands, have also
posted notices announcing a 10 per
cent raise on New Years day.
1t is estimated that the advance will
give the American company's opera
tiyes an aggregate of about s1,000,000
more each year than they have been
receiving.
