COTTON MILLS
CURTA|L OUTPUT
The New England Manufac-
turers Agree to Limit
Production to IS Per Cent
of Full Capacity.
MANY MEN AFFECTED
Eighty Per Cent OF the Mills in New
England Concur-Many Have Al
ready CIosed-Movement Original
ed in New York.

Boston, Mass, Dec 27-The
Akrwright Club, which represents the
cotton mill interests of New England
at a meeting here today formally vot-
ed to curtail production % per cent
between now and March J., in order
TO relieve conditions in the cloth mar
kets of New York, Chicago, Boston
and other large centers. 1t was stated
several days ago that a committee, pre-
viously appointed by the club to can
vass the situation among the mills,
had found sufficient sentiment to in
sure the success Of the curtailment
plan and that a restriction Of produc-
ton was regarded as a certainty.
The cotton mills Of New England
employ about $4,000 persons under
normal conditions, and it is expected
that at least 100000 will be affected
by the short time. The curtalment
agreement became operative today al
though numerous mills have been
shut down since Tuesday night.
The mills in Thorndyke, Bondsville,
Palmer, Ware and Warren, Mass, and
Greenville and New Ipswich, \ H.,
controlled by Bliss, Babyan & Co. of
New York and Boston, adopted short
time policy a month ago, as did the
Monadonock mills Of Claremont, n.
H. These and several other con-
Germs will reach the end OF their cur
tailment policy before the factories
in the large centers.
More than SO per cent of the spin
dies in New England are represent
ed in the agreement. The majority OF
the mills Will run four days a week
during January and February, clos
ing Thursday nights, thus including
Saturday, a short work day in the
shut down. Mills which have con-
tracts calling for delivery during the
winter are at liberty to reduce theil
production % per cent partially before
March l. and the remainder after that
date. Tie method Of reducing is left
largely TO the discretion Of the man
ayers.
According to some of the officers OF
textile unions. the operatives prefer
to work four days a week, rather than
be continuously idle for a period of
nearly three weeks.
The curtailment movement origi-
mated in New York commission
houses, which feared congestion of
goods and falling prices in the spring
if the mills continued to operate in
full all winter.

LONDON, August 29.-The British
war secretary Mr.. Haldane, answering
question in the house of commons last
evening, announced that he proposed
purchasing army stores in America when
he can get them there equally as good
as elsewhere at more satisfactory prices,
without apologizing to the local protec-
tionists who insist that British firms
should be given the preference irrespec-
tive Of price or quality.
The matter was brought up by Sir
Howard Vincent. Conservative and Free
Trader, representing the central divis-
ion Of Sheffield, who asked for explana-
tions of why the war Office ordered lOO,-
900 pieces of horse shoes in the United
States for the use of the British cavalry,
instead of supporting British industries
and workmen.
Mr.. Haldane, in the course of his
reply, said the American goods were
satisfactory both as regards price and
efficiency and in the interests of the
economical administration of the army
be declined to disregard this source Of
supply.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 20. John D.
Rockefeller is having trouble in col
lecting $7395 from the United States
government for his travelling expenses
and witness fees in the recent hearing
before Judge Lands.
In making application for the amount
due him Mr.. Rockefeller declared that
he had travelled ll49 miles to attend the
session of court. He did not say. how
ever, whether he came from Pittsfeld,
Mass, or Cleveland
The government is therefore holding
the money until it receives official in
formation as to where Mr.. Rockefeller
started from when he came to court.
Actually, United States Marshal Hoy
knows the claimant came from Pitts
field, but officially he does not know.
and Mr.. Rockefeller will not get his
money until the marshal obtains the
official information he is seeking.

Chief Of Police is Not For Him.


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 20.--ActinC
Chief Of Police Anderson stated very
emphatically yesterday that he would
not by any manner of means accept
the permanent office OF Chief, even
though the honor be urged upon him.
Il have been asked this question a
great many times lately" said he yes.
terday, "and II has been somewhat cm-
barrassing because l have been given
no intimation by the Board of Police
Commissioners that they had me in mind
as an appointee, Naturally have had
a delicacy Of expressing myself def.
nitely but thought 1t over carefully
lately and have made up my mind that
| would not accept the Office under any
consideration.
my wife has been in poor health
for a number of years, and | am afraid
that the attacks that might come to one
In such a position would result perhaps
fatally to her."
Notwithstanding this positive asser-
tioq by acting Chief Anderson, many of
his friends say that he would be obliged
to accept if the proper arguments were
brought to bear His long and efficient
service in the department, his good rec
ord and his personal qualities make him
particularly eligible in the eyes Of many
members Of the department.
