And a Demand for an In
crease in Wages
Now Occupy Attention Of New
England Mill Owners.
Common Sense and Good Judge.
ment Ought to Settle 1t.

Boston, May 21.-It is probable that
meetings of the treasurers of mills
in New Hampshire, Maine, Lowell, and
elsewhere, will be held in Boston,
where al! have their offices, within a
short time, for the purpose of consid-
ering the wage situation.
Mills employing a total of $1,000
hands in southern and western Massa-
chusetts. Rhode Island and eastern
Connecticut, North Pownal, VT. and
Amesbury, Mass, have already an
nounced an advance of approximately
10 per cent next Monday.
None Of these plants are controlled
in Boston, but as the Lowell Textile
Council has asked for an advance at
the same time, the question now con-
fronts the Lowell mill treasurers who
have their offices here.
Practically all of the cotton mills in
New England which have not an
nOunced an increase are controlled
from Boston and if the Lowell officials
feel compelled to fall into line with
southern and western New England,
it is regarded as q foregone conclusion
that the ether Boston interests will
shortly announce some sort of an adj
vance in order to keep their help, of
which there Is q marked scarcity
everywhere. The mills represented by
local offices employ about 100000 OPP
erGJiVeS.

to the farm before dark, but added that
if he was too late for the ferry lie should
cross on the Somerset railroad bridge.
The feIrvnan did not see his passenger
again. The last trace of him in the vii
lage was at o'clock. when it is evident
that he started back for the farm. Moth
ing further is known to what hap
pened, but the prevalent opinion is that
he tried to cross the railroad bridge in
the dark and lost his footing, falling into
the turbulent stream beneath.
Nothing was known of his disappear
ance until people passing by the farm
Tuesday noticed the neiGhing of the
horses left in the barn by Mr.. Eames.
They had been unfed and racketel
around so that people drove in to learn
what was the trouble. They found no
one about the place. Everything; was as
Mr.. flames had left it when he departed
Monday afternoon for the village.
Searching parties were instituted but
without success. All hope of finding him
alive is now given up.
MI. Eames was 81 years old and pros
porous in lis business as general jobber
in this town. He has n wife and one son
who is 4 student at the High school. His
business affairs are in excellent condition
and he had no cause for worry, so that
the theory of suicide IS considered quite
ont of the question. The bridge accident
theory seems most plausible, because this
is a dangerous place in the dark, as tho
walk is narrow ard there is no rail, while
the river at this time is swollen and the
roar Of the water 50 feet beneath is dis
concerning.
