WILL INCREASE WAGES.
Notice was posted in the mill at the
Slater Cotton company works late yes.
terday afternoon announcing that there
would be a general increase in wages TO
begin next Monday.
In the notice there was no statement
made to what the increase would be,
but IL is probable shat It will amount To
about az per cent. A we'll known labor
leader Of this city. In speaking OF this
matter last evening. said that the recent
action OF the mulespinners in making a
demand for an increase OF wages has had
considerable effect. and that While II is
possible that something might have been
done In time without this. still in his
opinion, the action hastened the manufac-
turers IN their decision
He was asked If he believed that the
operatives would accept the increase
which was less than the amount demand
ed. and he said that he thought proba bly,
they would do SO. although he declared
that he had no information which could
be considered in any way official.
POLICE ARE ACTIVE
Interest In tho action taken by tho po-
lice in reference 10 illegal sale OF liquors.
anu especially TO the feature OF making
sales 10 women Is on the increase.
Deputy Chief Hill has given the patrol
men the strictest orders about making re-
ports wherever they have reason TO sus-
peCt that these sales are being made, and
he says that failure TO make such reports
will result In punishment Of some kind.
II is more than likely that developments
OF a rather interesting character are likely
20 occur very soon.
