BARGES ASHORE
But Identity of Neither is Obtainable,
Friday NIGHT.

Newport. r. L.. Jan. 1.-Two barges
are reported ashore at Block island,
but as all communication with the is
land has been cut off since the break
ing of the cable several days ago, the
identity of the vessels could not be
learned tonight.
From descriptions brought into Bos-
ton, today. by the steamer City of
Macon, from Savannah, ii Is thought
that the barges may be the J. B. King
& Co, No 10 Philadelphia and Read
ing. which the tug Teaser was towing
from Philadelphia to Boston. The
tug which was standing by the scene
of the wrecks had white band on her
funnel. which would answer the de-
scription of the Teaser. There is a
wireless station on Block island, but
all efforts to get into communication
with 1t, tonight. proved fruitless. Mes
sages We're picked up, however, which
confirmed the report that the barges
We're still ashore. A fragment of
message from one of the sound steam
was made To some barges ashore on
the island. Later in the evening a
message was heard from the Lucken-
bach Steamship Co, of New York ask
ing for the names of the harges and
il no names were obtainable. a de-
scription was asked. The position of
the stranded boats is not known here.

In this statement he recites his belief
that the large number of lives lost by

greatly regret that the reduction in the
hours of work which the new law has
forced, compels their taking home just
that much less money. There has been
no reduction in the rate of wages, but
1t cannot be expected that people who
work 81 hours should take home the
wages equivalent to Sc hours of work.
when one considers that there are
mills in the country running from Sc to
60 hours selling their merchandise in the

it is for Massachusetts manufacturers 10

cure orders or hold their own. Natural
" the mills running the greatest number
of hours and producing at the least cost
will ge the business away from mills of

of Sc hours would be equivalent to an in
crease in wages While manufacturers
under normal conditions would be glad
to see their employees earn more money,
the Massachusetts mills are paying all
