NEW BEDFORD
OPERATIVES tn
GET INCREASE

New Bedford. Mass, May 1.-THE
New Bedford cotton manufacturers
have voted 10 give the operatives 10
per cent increase in their wages, pay
able Monday May 27.
Today's action OF the manufacturers
came as surprise. II had been ex-
pected that action would be taken yes
terday or before, In time TO communi-
cate with the Textile unions. which
met last night. No word having been
heard from the Manufacturers asso-
citation, IL was feared that some hitch
in the proceedings might have oc-
Cured. as IL was generally believed
that, on account of the unusually pros
porous condition OF the mills the de-
mand would be granted.
The Manufacturers association met
yesterday. but it was said after the
meeting that no action had been taken.
The announcement today that an ad-
vance had been granted led TO the be-
lief that the Manufacturers associa-
tion met privately today and officially
sanctioned the increase.
The decision of the association has been
awaited with great interest, not nnly in
this city. but throughout Rhode Island
and that section OF Connecticut where tex
tiles are manufactured. The Rhode Is
land mill owners always wait for New
Redford manufacturers TO act on the
wage question and almost invariable fol-
low In the patch set by the manufactur-
ers OF this city
The announcement OF the increase was
made by W. o. Devol, treasurer of the
Potemska mills and secretary OF the Man.
ufacturers' association The action was
taken on the part OF the cloth mills, but
will. 1t Is announced. be followed by the
yarn mills.
Mr.. Devol said that Secretary Tenant
OF the New Bedford Textile council. had
been notified Of today's action OF the man.
rfacturers. II is expected that a meeting
Of the Textile council will be held to-
morrow evening to receive official notice
of the Increase and TO instruct the vari-
OTIS unions represented in the council.
Notices Of the increase will be posted in
all the mills at once
