A SLAP AT DEPEW
SENATOR N'CREARY DEPENDS TO-
 BACCO GROWERS.
Declares That New York Senator May Find .Undesirablc CIfisens' Nearer His Home Than Kentucky.
 Scores the Trusts.

Washington. March 12--Senator Nc. Creary, of Kentucky, took occasion in the Senate today to reply to recent ref erences by Senator Depew of New York to night riders and the burning of tobacco barns in Kentucky.
 Incidentally he reviewed the opera tions of the tobacco trust and declared that the repeal Of the six cents tax on tobacco was what was needed for the benefit of the farmers Of his State.
 Distance" said Mir. McCreary. ''nay lend enchantment to the view of the Senator from New York. but if he had confined himself to the stock gambling and the burdens of trusts and lawlesa- ness ef the. State Of Nav York, ti seems to me it would have been more appropfiate than wandering SO far away from~is4s subject as to criticize Kentucky"
 He did not eondone iawlessnsss in Kentucky. but said the Governor and the Legislature are taking every pos albIe step. to put stop to 1t. The peo- pie of that state denounce such meas ures, he said.
 Referring to the tobacco trust, he said:
 "There are many trusts but the three most burdensome are the stand. ard oil, with Rockefeller at its head the Beef Trust. with the Armours at its head, and the American Tobacco Trust, headed by Duke"
 Kentucky, he said, raises about one third of the tobacco of the country and suffers from the operations of the trust He made a strong appeal for the passage of his bill taking the siy eeuta tax off tobacco. st.

MILLS CUT WAGES
UNPARALLELED ORDER BY COTTON
 FACTORIES.
Twenty-Five Thousand EmpIoyea are ARecteA and Action May Spread to the Other Plants fn
 Country.

Lowell, Mass, March lzs--NoticeS an nouneing . wage reduction of 10 per cent were posted in seven of the large cotton factories .r this city during the noon luncheon hour today. Nearly 25, = 900 operatives will be affected by the reduction.
 Notices were posted in the producing department of the Mohair Plush Mills today announcing a complete sh ut down till further notices. The mill employs about 300 hands- According to the nos tices the reduction will become effective March 30.
 The manufacturers state that the business outlook ia nlest disoeura Ginm, and that the situation fs without a parallel in many years. the whole cot ton manufacturing industry, North and South, being seriously impaired. It Is also stated that further curtailnent of production may become necessary.
 The corporations where the notices were posted today comprise practically all of the large manufacturers. They are the Boots, Fremont and Suffolk Hamilton, Mlddles. Lawrence, Appleton and Merrimac corporations
 The announcement of the reduction came as a surprise. as there had been no intimation that any such action was contemplated.
 Whether similar action will be taken m OtneF steXkli0 mAuuLaCtuFinR CtIleB, could not be learned here today.
 With the exception of the Stark Mills of Manchester. N. II. which announced Tuesday that a reduction of about per cent. will be made in the wages of their 1.500 employees, the Lowell mills are the first in the cotton industry in New England to give positive notice of c cut.
 It Is understood that practically all the cotton mills in Northern New Eng land will post notices during the next few days announcing a reduction. / In Southern New England there is some uncertainty as to the time a cut will be made. Tn Fall River a six months sliding scale agreement exists between the Manufacturers Association and the Textile Council. The agreement is bas- cd upon the average margin between the cost of the cotton in the New York market and the selling price of stand ard 2S-inch. s4xe4 print cloths. Their last agreement began effective Novem- Der 25, 1907. Since that time the mar gin has steadily fallen off, indicating that the 25,000 operatives in the asso- citation mills at Fall River will receive less wages in the spring.
 It is not known here what action the Rhode Island and the New Bedford mill owners will take.
 The reported reason for the change in wages is the high price of cotton and low prices for goods. The cotton mills in New England number $40 and employ about i60. 900 persons.
