Reduction Considered To Be
Unnecessary at Present;
Sales at Fall River Con-
tinue on Restricted Basis

Contrary to expectations III some
quarters, cotton manufacturers at Fall
River voted to stand by their decision
20 continue present wages without re-
duction 1t was intimated however,
that .eductions might be made before
the expiration Of the usual six month
agreement period.
The question of wages in the cotton
mills district of New England has
been under discussion for some time,
and many observers had predicted that
a cut would be announced at the meet
ing yesterday, in view of the fact that
manufacturers had announced that
such q course was inevitable. The
recent statement of William M. Wood,
president of the American Woolen
Company, that prices and wages could
not 60 back TO pre-war levels at pres
ent, howevel, was taken TO forecast q
lenient attitude on the part of manu-
tacturers at present.
Sentiment among manufacturers was
that reductions in wages at present
would have little effect on market con-
ditions and would impose hardships on
operatives who are working on short
schedules. AS soon as mills are in a
position to put the workers back on
full time and accept orders on q
stable basis, it is believed that an
agreement will lie reached with the
operatives to effect downward re-
vision of wages. Reductions, it was
said, might take the form of elimina-
tion of the last two wage increases,
namely, those : December /, 1919, Of
12H per cent and May 20, OF Is per
cent.
Trading in the Fall River cloth mar
tet this week continued extremely dull,
sales being estimated at no higher
than 5000 pieces. What little inquiry
vas noted was largely for 36-inch low
count styles. for which there was
moderate inquiry for spot or nearby
delivery. Prices continued very irregu-
lar.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
mills are not piling up goods to any
heavy extent, as practically every
plant is strongly on the curtailment
schedule, which has grown stronger as
the weeks go by, until now half a
dozen mills are closed indefinitely and
others are running two, three or four
days week.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov: e6.-The
Cotton Manufacturers Association at
a meeting to-day voted 10 stand bv its
decision to continue present wages
"ithout reduction. The meeting fol-
owed conference in Boston several
days ago of mill heads at which the
condition OF the market for cotton
goods was considered and the oues
ton OF reducing wages to meet lowered
market prices was discussed. The &C.
tion of the local. association is under
stood to be the result of consideration
OF the subject in the light of condi-
tions here.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. 26.-The
Uswoco Mills of the United States
Worsted Company were closed in
definitely to-day because of lack of
orders The plant has been running
only, two days week. Fifteen hun,
ared persons are affected The Penn
oerton mills, which employ 1000
goods closed to-day until December 13,
tor similar reasons.

Riga, Sept. 2lst.-Poland's attitude
concerning the photographic boundary
has been given officially to the Associa-
ted Press exclusively. A description
of this line by the Poles is at present
impossible because the question, it is
contended, must b. determined by an
agreement between the Poles and the
%Bolshevjki for several reasons. First
Russian statistics are considered unre-
liable by the Poles. Second the popu-
lations OF the territory involved in the
question o. photographic Poland was
changed materially during the war by
immigration, some sections, formerly
Russian in character, being now Polish
while some formerlv Polish, may posi-
bly, low b mostly Russian, therefore
the ethnographic line is uncertain and
must be discussed and determined by
the peace conference upon facts to be
established. This IS the first definite
statement that has oeen obtained from
the Poles. The Polish representatives
also said they considered that the
size Of their army must be proper
tionate to the armies of adjacent
states, principally Russia and Germany.
The size OF the Russian army will be
determined at the Riga peace confer
ence. That of the German army has
already been determined by the treaty
of Versailles. The Poles are not yet
prepared to announce all their counter.
proposals. How long it will take TO
denobilize their army after peace de-
ponds upon the size Of the army deter
mined by the treaty.
