Waue Cuts In Cotton Mills

The cotton mills of New England eratives, and the belief is that a cut of about 10 per cent will be estab- lished throughout that section in this or the next month. The New England mills, $40 in number, employ 165,00O persons, and a cut of 10 per cent means to them a great deal of distress simply because there will not be a corresponding cut in the necessaries of life.
 In Alabama the mills have deter mined to maintain both production and the scale of wages. The operatives in this state are indeed fortunate, and the Alabama manufacturers deserve no little commendation for the efforts they are making in behalf of their em- ployes in these days of depression in l the cloth market.
 | No wage reduction has yet been made in the south and as a rule south ern mills are still maintaining produc- tion. But if the prices for goods con- tinue to go down even the southern mills will feel the pressure of the times, and some action on their part will become probable. Possibly pro- duction will in some way be decreased without reducing wages, which are now dangerously close to the line of living expenses.
