A PEACEFUL MAY DAY
CHARGED TO DULL CONDITION
OF BUSINESS.

BOSTON, May Inlay day in New
England. usually a day OF industrial dis
turbance. was this year one of the most
peaceful on record. due in part to the duh
condition of business and the consequent
oversupply in the labor market The
only strikes of magnitude in this section
this sprng-those in the granite indus
try during March and April which in
volved nearly ten thousand men-have
been adjusted, the strikers in several
places returning to work today.
In the textile industries of New Eng
land about 40 per cent of the machinery is
idle. which has the effect Of keeping
about 10000 operatives idle or on short
time: The American Wooden Company,
which controls thirty plants in New Eng
land, is operating about half of its ma
chinery. an increase of Is per cent since
January. The independent mills are on
a similar basis.
In the cotton goods and cotton yarn
mills about 40 per cent of the spindles are
stopped.
The cotton cloth business continues
poor. cotton yarn Is in little demand and
the indications point to a general cur
tai1ment during the summer months.
