.8-HOUR DAY ISSUE
IN TEXTILE MILLS
All New England Watching
Vote in Maine-Longer
Hours Prevail in South.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BOSTON, Mass. October 11.-Textile
manufacturers in New England are
watching with considerable concern
for the manifestation Of the attitude
of Maine on the eight-hour day. That
state will hold q referendum Mon
day to determine whether another i'm
portant link in New Englands textile
industry will go on a forty-eight- hour
week basis. Until 1915 Maine indus
tries were on a sixty-hour week and
since that time the hfty-four- basis
has prevailed.
Within a year Rhode Island and
New Hampshire legislatures have de-
feated bills providing a forty eight
hour week basis. Massachusetts has
been on forty-eight hour week since
1919, and whether this is responsible
or not, the fact remains that no inn
portant new mills have been con-
structed in this state since them while
loS have been put up in the south,
where the working week ranges from
nfty-fve to sixty hours.
Maine manufacturers estimate that
forty ght-hour week will mean an
IL per cent decrease in wages. They
say the mills can not absorb the
added cost and labor must. They
contend that with wages in southern
mills 25 to 33 per cent lower than in
New England no further obstacles
SHOULD be raised against the northern
mills
