Fall River June 21-At a meeting or tho
executive committee OF the Fall River
Manufacturers association today II was
voted TO grant the restoration of wages
asked for by the textile unions 10 the
wages in effect before the strike In 1904.
The Increase amounts 10 II per cent. and
Affects $1,000 employees in Fall River: and
as other New England cotton manufac-
turing centres follow the lead OF Fall
River, II is probable that ultimately the
majority of all the cotton mill men in this
section will profit by the result of today's
step.
While the reduction made in July, 1904.
which the operatives demanded to be
restored. was one OF 1914 per cent the
increase voted today Is nominally one Of
but 10 per cent AS IL is added, however.
Co the four granted under the conditions
OF the settlement OF the six months strike
which followed the 1904 reduction, the
total increasetamounts 10 one OF IA per
cent.
The letter from the manufacturers TO
Secretary Taylor OF the Textile council
was brief. IL follows:
Thomas Taylor. Secretary:
