LOWELL OPERATIVES
GIVEN s PER CENT.

Lowell Dec Notices were posted at
all the cotton mills in this city today OF
a per cent. increase in wages. to go into
effect on Monday next About 1900 opera
tives are affected. The Textile council
will meet tomorrow and Il is believed Will
accept the new scale.
The increase is voluntary, the operatives
having made no demand for additional
pay. The mills affected are the Boot.
Lawrence. Tremant and Suffolk. Merri-
mas. Massachusetts,. Hamilton and Apple
ton.
While some Of the operators have
thought 10 per cent. raise should have
been made. the general sentiment today
appeared 10 be in favor OF accepting the
5 per cent. increase and not making any
further demand this winter. The new
scale will mean an addition OF 0s750 TO this
weekly payroll OF the mills In this city.
Last July the Lowell mills made numer-
QUO changes in the wage rate which
amounted practically 10 A per cent. In
crease. so that the present action OF the
treaslirers virtually makes an increase of
10 per cent for the operatives within six
months.
This brings the wage rate about on
level with that obtaining at present In the
Fall River mills.
