Ten Per Cent. Reduction
In Lowell, Mass, Mills.
Not Wholly Unexpected But
Not Pleasing to Help.
Other Centers Of Cotton Industry
Expected to Follow.

Boston, March IA general re-
duction in the wages of the cotton mill
operatives of the North will be made
during the latter part of the month
and following weeks according to mill
men in this city and in several leading
textile centerS. A definite announce
ment that the present wage scale
would be lowered has been expected
for some time in view of the fact that
on Feb. it was strongly intimated in
mill circles here that cut would have
to be made.
Today notices were posted in all the
cotton mills of Lowell on receipt of
the instructions from the head offices
here, informing the 10000 operatives
that wages will be reduced to average
10 per cent. beginning Monday, March
30. The mills in Lowell are owned by
the Appleton, Boot, Lawrence, Massa-
chusetts, Merrimac, Hamilton and Ire
mont and Suffolk corporations. All
manufactures cloth except the Law
renee Manufacturing Co, which makes
hosiery and underwear. With the eX
ception of the Stark mills of Man.
chester. n. H., which announced Tues
day that a reduction of about eight
per cent. will be made in the wages of
the 1900 employees, the Lowell mills
are the first in the cotton industry in
New England to give positive notice
Of a cut
1t is understood that practically all
the cotton mills in northern New Eng
land will post notices during the next
few days announcing q reduction.
some uncertainty as to the time n cut
will be made. In Fall River sliding
scale agreement exists between the
Manufacturers Association and the
Textile Council, and under its terms
no change can be made until May %.
The agreement is based upon the av-
erage margin between the cost of cot
ton in the New York market and the
selling price of standard 2S-inch 64X64
print cloths, the agreement being re-
newed at the end of six months. The
last agreement became effective on
Nov. %. 1907. Since that time the
margin has steadily fallen off, indicat
ing that the $4,000 operatives in the
association mills in Fall River will re-
ceive less wages in the spring. Under
the present arrangements the average
between the prices of cotton and
standard print cloths governs the wage
rate in the six months following the
period in which the averages are COM
puted.
The Fail River system affects direct
" the mills in that city, East Taunton
ard several places. so that manufac-
turers of goods other than print cloths
now usually make their changes in
wage schedules without regarding COLI

ASSUMED NAME
Used by Nine. Anna Gould
on Her Voyage Home.
Precauiion Against Count Boni
Stopping The Children.
Had His Written Permission But
Took No Chances.

Paris. March LIT became known
here today that Nine. Gould, who sail
ed fGf New York yesterday on the Adj
riatie.. booked for this passage under
the name of Miller. She originally had
taken passage for herself and her
children on the Kronprinz Wilhelm, bu
changed her plans at the last moment.
Although she had written consent of
her former husband. Count Boni De
tcilane. to take the children out of
France, she adopted the ruse of chang
ing steamers and .psing an assumed
name in case the count should attempt
at the last moment to prevent the
childrcn's departure. Count Boni had
been under the impression that Nine
Gould and the children were on board
the Kronprnz Wilhelm and had tele-
grdphed his greetings to the children
in care of that steamer.

less mesSa received late Wednesday
night by the Point Iona government
wireless station was to the effect that
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and his
big battleship fleet arrived off Magda-
lena bay early Wednesday night Ac-
cording to the message the fleet lay
off Magdalena until early Thursday
when it proceeded into the bay
The news that the big fleet has arriv-
ed at Magdalena bay comes as a big
surprise. The itinerary of the long
voyage beginning with the start from
Hampton Roads on Dec. 16 last did not
call for the arrival of the ships at Mag
dalena until Sunday 50 with their ar
rival at the Mexican bay Wednesday
night the fleet is almost four days
ahead of time.
1t has been known for some weeks
past that the big sixteen would ar
rive at it's practicing ground ahead of
time. but it was never suspected that
such an excellent showing as this
would be made The important fact
about it is that most of the four days
gain in time was made on the last
stretch of the voyage from Callao.
Previous to the visit at that port, not
withstanding the various stops. they
were at the full length called for in
the itinerary.
It is said that an official message was
also received from Rear Admiral Evans
himself Wednesday night at the Wire
less station here to be transmitted to
Washington reporting his arrival with
ali of the ships in the fleet III even
better curditiOn than when they sailed
from Hampton Roads and th3et tile en-
tire fleet is prepared to sail for' any
destination at an hours notice.
The news that the fleet had arrived
al Masdalena bay early in the even
ing was received ct the wireless sta
tiUn at 20 minutes past midnight. The
message further stated. that target
practice would be started by the fleet
just as soon as the targets are set up
and placed in! tlreir- Irrespective posi-
tions. 1t is expected that this will be
done Saturday or Sunday and that the
battleships will begin practice the first
of next week when they will go after
