So far there have been practically
no disorders. Instances of surliness
are reported, however, and one case
has attracted attention. 1t involves
the refusal of the miners in the Whit
burn coliery, at South Shields, to
permit anybody to descend into the
pits to feed the ponies and work the
pumps to prevent flooSing of the
mines. This is a direct violation of
the instructions from the Federation
of Miners, which allowed the employ
ment of miners during the strike for
these purposes. The officials OF one
mine where the men declined 70 obey
the orders of the federation managed
to get $50 ponies to the surface from
their home, underground for the past
25 years. Engineers who were per
mitted by the federation to remain on
duty refused to work in many places,
and it is feared the mines have been
ruined by floods
The price of bread is to be advanced

stuffs are higher, while coal is at
exorbitant rates. The railway facili-
ties have also been curtailed, but
actual suffering on the part of any
large section of the population has not
appeared. Elsewhere in the United

peals to the municipal authorities to

unemployment are being felt in
some localities.

WAGE ADVANCE IN
NEW ENGLAND
Will Affect More Than 125. 900
Mill Employees.
INCREASES 5 TO 7 PER CENT
Higher Scale Expected To AIIay the
Unrest Which Is Said To
Exist At The Lowell
Mills.

Boston.-A general advance in the
wages of textile operatives in North
ern New England was announced by
various mill interests which have their
head offices in Boston.
More than 125,OOO persons, includ-
ing employees of cotton mills in Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Maine,
and wooden mill operatives in six New
England States are affected.
While few cotton mills have made
definite announcements, it is under
stood that the advance generally will
not be less than per cent. and for
certain classes of operatives per
cent. or more
The New Hampshire and Maine cot
ton mills, which employ 10000 per
sons, made the change in the payroll
Monday; other mills will do so March
IS, and the Lowell mills. with nearly
10000 hands, will put the advances
into effect March 25
The Lawrence cotton mills, except
the Everett, employing $4,000; the
American Wooden Company's SO New
England plants, with 10000 operatives,
and a number of independent worsted
mills raised wages March 4.
To the advance in Lawrence in re-
spouse to the demands of the opera
tives the increases elsewhere are
largely attributed.
In Massachusetts the mill hands I'M
derwent a cut in wages of more than
8 per cent. on January l because of a
new State law which lowered the
hours of employment for women and
minors from Sc to "a weekly. The
Lawrence strike followed.
The wage increase will embrace
nearly all the cotton mills of New
Hampshire, including the II mills of
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com
pany, of Manchester, the largest cot
ton concern in the world. The Amos
keag mills employ 1880 operatives.
The action of the Lowell mills, it is
thought, will contribute greatly toward
allaying the unrest which is said to
have existed among the operatives in
that city.

to prohibit absolutely the use of the
canal to any steamship company in
which the railroads had an interest.
The bill, which was approved by a
vote of IA to 4, gives the President
