HIGH WATER MARK
Of Wages in Fall River Cotton Mills
and Everybody Pleased.

Fall River. Feb. 25.-Wagcs in local
cotton mills last week reached high
water mark. not only recovering the
full scale which existed before the big
strike, but even passing it slightly. The
wage margin for the week. as officially
computed, was S2.75 cents. giving a
wage bonus of 10 per cent. in addition
to the four per cent. given outright last
October. This is the largest distribu-
tioh since tho new system went into ef-
feet. and gives a full restoration of the
old wage rate of 1913 cents per cut for
weaving.
The Journal of Commerce was not
published on Washington's birthday.
and therefore no margin was computed
officially for the day. If the record Of
the day previous had been accepted.
the margin for the week would have
come very close to per cent.

ed higher in New York than they were
