WAGE INCREASE
RATE IS STILL
HANGING FIRE

The exact rate OF increase that will be
paid 10 the mill operatives in this state
still hangs fire. and seems likely TO do
so for several days, as it will be based
upon the decision reached I'm. New Bed
ford, which is still complicated by the
failure OF the operatives and the manu-
facturers to agree.
At last evenings conference In New
Bedford both the manufacturers and the
operatives stood firm TO their original
proposition: and after the meeting polh
sides issued statements giving the rea-
sons for the positions they maintain.
The Manufacturers association had
posted notices with the announcement OF
~ per cent. increase, the operatives de-
manding 10 per cent. instead.
Last evenings conference was between
the manufa cturers' committee. consisting
OF Otis ~. Pierce. John r. Kerr and j. ;.
Knowles. and the whole delegation OF the
Textile council OF l6 members. and lasted
nearly two hours.
The manufacturers reiterated their
statement that they could not afford to
figures to show that the high price OF cot
ton would make an advance of more than
they offered ruinous To their business.
The manufacturers told the members Of
the Textile committee that they could
grant only the ~ per cent. and that this
was their final word
The Textile council met Immediately
after the conference and Secretary Ten
nent gave out the following statement:
'The council has instructed its delegates
20 bring the result Of the conference with
the manufacturers before the locals in
fair and square light. considering the
price for cotton paid today and the diff
ference they are receiving per yard for
cloth IN the market: the high rate Of cot-
ton and the difference from what II was
when cotton was - cents.
Each delegate is instructed 20 lay the
whole matter before his union and let the
locals decide for themselves. The Textile
council Is still I'm the same position as
Il was when n recommended tho unions
20 resist accepting the advance.
"All the locals will meet Thursday night
10 act on the matter. The officials OF the
United Textile Workers Of America will
be notified Of the action OF the New Bed
ford unions thus far taken
At the office OF the B T. e. R. Knight
Co, II was stated today that nothing
could be accomplished until IL had been
definitely settled wha: the New Bedford
wage scale would be. Col. Henry r. Lip
pitt made the same assertion.

BARRIERS THINK
LAW IS WORSE
THAN USELESS

The members OF the BARRIERS union as
well as the entire fraternity of BARRIERS in
this city are up in arms against the Bar
ber commission. and are planning either
to have the commission revised. the law
amended or the commission entirely wiped
out.
They are unanimous in tho opinion that
the law has failed OF its purpose because
of the manner in which the commissions
ers have enforced II. They claim that the
members OF the commission. with the eX-
ception OF Mr. Friend. have used the law
for personal influence i'm number Of in
stances aud have assumed powers the law
itself did not make any provision for and
was not intended to cover.
Among these they cite the highland
ed manner in which the members or the
commission revoke licenses and then as
sess a man s. for renewal. The law. they
claim, does not make any provision for
such fine but simply says that when
the conditions for which the license has
been revoked have been removed the IL
cense shall be re-issued.
Another wrong. say they. is i'm the case
OF man who for any reason leaves the
state and loses his commission. When he
returns he has TO renew the license and
before he can do that he must again pay
q fee OF s.. This feet they claim is illegal.
The real purpose OF the law was TO do
away with the unhealthflil conditions eX-
sting I'm some shops. This, they say. has
not been done and the commissioners are
drawing their salaries for simply sitting
I'm the offices and spasmodically summon
ing some one before them and holding the
regular examinations
At the coming session of the legislature
an attempt will be made to either have
the law amended or repealed
