the smaller mills In New London and

schedule to-day with an increase in
hours from forty-eight to ffty-five.
The wage IA cut about 20 per cent, but
in mill circles It is stated that az most
OF the employees are piece workers
the actual difference in wages Is not as
much. BY speeding up production the
increased hours compensate more or
less for the reduction in wages
Mill agents say longer hours and
lower wages in Southern mills have
made competition keen and have placed
the textile industry here In precarious
position. There are about 5000 persons
affected in this section.

No reductions in freight rates on coal
can be expected by the public until
after April I, Secretary or Commerce
Hoover declared to-day. Mr. Hoover's
statement came after he had conferred
with officials of the !. G. G.
Secretary Hoover said thai consumers
OF coal. particularly OF btuminous.
should not hold back in laying In their
reserve stocks through any expectation
that lower railrood rates alone viii
bring lower prices.
Secretary Hoover made public a re-
view OF che British coal export trade
which in recent months has gained
great headway. Prices of British coal
are 20 low that American coal has becn
crowded out Of markets In which Amer
ican operators formerly held control.
An Investigation by Department OF
Commerce experts leads them TO be-
lieve. however. that the British cannot
continue to sell the export coal at pres
ent prices. American interests are
warned that TO regain the international
business the industry in the United
States must get together upon a more
efficient basis.
The report OF Mr.. Hoover showed that
British mine wages are now at rock
bottom. while American wages are still
at wartime levels.
