 With textile mffis in this city running on short time the employees are inter ested in the announcement that wages are to Be cut g2 1-s per cent. Willifnantic being textile city this cut will affect some 40e0 employees During the past l four years a series of raises has sent the wage scale up TOT 1-2 per cent. over that paid before January 24, 1916, the day the first grant was made.
 Business conditions are poorer today than in November, according to the statements Of some mill officials, the amount of orders in some cases being only sufficient to keep the mills running one or two days each week. Nothing has been announced in the local mills relative to wage reduction, but it is understood that when the other textile mills in New England cut their wages s2 1-2 per cent. the cut will affect this | eify also; whether it will be as heavy has not been stated Willimantic textilA
 industries, 1t has been pointed out, have not shared in all the increases granted during the past few years. The total raise of 107 1-2 per cent. granted in this city stands put in contrast with to- tRis of 169 per cent advance on fine or medium grades of cotton fabrics and with raises of approximately 200 per cent. in coarse fabric mills. It is hoped l that after the wages are redtced the
 mills can operate again but it is stat | ed that losses must be accepted by both Sides when the mills open again, 1 In case the wage reduction of 22 1-2i per cent. goes into affect at the local plants the wages will still remain s
 l per cent higher than in 1916. 1 officials of local textile unions have
 nothing to say about the reduction in
 wages and state that they will have

 Is made. It is generally known that the
