BOSTON, May Inlay day in New
England, usually a day of industrial
disturbance, was this year one of the
most peaceful on record, due in part to
the dull condition of business and the
consequent oversupply in the labor
market
The only strikes of magnitude in TINS
section this spring, those in the granite
Industry during March and April, which
involved nearly 10000 men, have been
adjusted. Tho strikers in several places
returned to work today.
In the textile industry of New Eng
land about 40 per cent of the machinery
is idle, which has the effect of keeping
about 100000 operatives idle or on short
time.
The American Woolen company,
which controls thirty plants in New
England, is operating about han of IT'S
machinery, an increase of 10 per cent
since January.
The Independent mills are on a SINH
lar basis. In the cotton goods and cot
ton 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 curtailment during
the summer months.
