COTTON STRIKE
ALMOST GENERAL
Workers Refuse to Accept 20
Per Cent Reduction in
Wages.
MILLS UNABLE TO OPERATE
In Addition to Cut in Scale, Operators
Insist Upon the Restoration Of the
Fifty-Four-Hour Week.
Thousands Out.

Cotton mill operatives in New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island, with few eX-
ceptions, went on strike in protest
against wage reductions averaging 70
per cent and restoration Of the 54-hour
week There were no disturbances In
either state.
Many of the New Hampshire mills
suspended operations when it was
seen that the plants could not be run
with the workers who reported.
The number of employees thrown
out of work by the almost general
strike in New Hampshire was esti-
mated ut between 25,OOO and 10000.
In Rhode Island the list of persons
affected by strikes was brought to
more than 10000 with the closing of
the Jenckes Spinning company's plant
at Pawtucket, necessitated by defec-
tions to the ranks of the strikers. .
The great Amoskeag mill, which
with its $4,000 hands is said TO he the
largest cotton mill in the world, closed
when officials decided that the plant
was not justified in operating with the
reduced force that reported for work.
The Stark mill. with 1900 employees,
took similar action.
The Nashua and Jackson mills or
the Nashua Manufacturing company at
Nashua. closed their doors after only
a handful of the 1000 employees had
appeared. Mills at Exeter, Newmarket
and SOmersworth, employing about 81
500, also shut down.
In Lowell, Mass, the Bav State Cot
ton mills operated with reduced forces
and the Hamilton mills were closed in
accordance with the employers pre-
vious announcement. These plants.
employing 2,60O, were the only ones
In that city to reduce wages.

OBEDIENCE AS AN INSTINCT
Apparently Birds Possess and Exer-
else 1t Even Before They Have
Left the Shell.

The obedience of young birds to the
mother has been the subject of many
stories. Two young thrushes had re-
mained perfectly still, while NJ. Rob
inson was passing near nest when
he saw some young ones leave it and
disappear into the water in that won
derful way common to all ampnibious
creatures right up to the hippopot-
anus, almost without ripple. He
found in the nest one egg which was
being cracked from the inside-all
birds are hatched 'vith little projec-
tion something like glazier's diamond
on their bills for this purpose-and
the youngster was cheeping as it wrig
gled slowly round. AS he watched,
back came the mother. She saw him
and gave one short, harsh cry. I'M
mediately the little bird in the egg
stopped cheeping and made no fur
ther sound or movement while he re-
mained. Here was a case of instinc-
tive obedience even before the bird
was hatched.-LondOn Times.
