SCHOONER B0WD0|N CLIPPING
OFF MILES WITH WISCASSET ).
FOLKS SET FOR BIG OVATION
MANCHESTER MILL
WORKERS ACCEPT 10
PERCENT WAGE CUT

Manchester. n. H., Sept. 17-Fol-
lowing two days of conference, the
delegate employees of the Amoskeag
Manufacturing Company late this
afternoon accepted a proposition of
ten pc. lent reduction in wages. The
action by the employees was at once
communicated to the management.
The agreement to accept the 10 per
cent rduction came after fiat re-
fusal by the employees at the morning
session to accept a 20 per cent reduce
ton. 1t had been the desire of the
employees that. whatever agreement
should be reached. the mills should
run on a more normal basis. The
mill management expressed the opin-
ion that it could not guarantee full
capacity. or anything like full capa-
city. unless the 20 per cent reduction
prevailed.
1t is expected that the mills will
operate after October on the basis
of 10 per cent reduction, running as
near capacity as the new wage
scale, readjusted selling prices and
forthcoming orders will permit.
There were nearly 270 delegate
employees present att he conference
this afternoon. 1t was reported to-
day at the meeting place that the
worsted and mechanical sections.
where the experienced operatives are
employed. are particularly against
any reduction whatsoever.
The absence from the city tonight
of agent w. Parker Straw precludes
any official statement from him re-
garding the formal acceptance OF the
offer by the operatives to accept the
ten per cent cut From other sources
which are believed to he allied with
the management. it is believed that
the ten per cent offer will be accept
ed. but there will he no guarantee
forthcoming that all the mills will
run on orma basis when the Lew ar.
rangement Is put into force in Octo-
Der. 1t is declared, however. that the
manag ement will endeayor to run
the mills as near capacity as the
situation warrant.

Pennington, Sept. 17-Frankiin
county fair is the largest ever this
year. Fully fifteen thousand people
entered the gates on the second day.
Wednesday. Tuesday was Cattle
Show day. The new cattle sheds
built last year were filed to capacity.
Frank Blanchard and his two sons
were there with long string of fine
oxen, steers, bulls and cows. The
Luce Brothers from up on the hill at
Pennington brought down q part Of
their fine nerd Of Herefords. The
town herd from Wilton made a good
showing.
Pennington Grange. Chesterviile
Grange and other surrounding towns
had a fine display.
The western provinces OF the do
minion Of Canada had a display or
the many products raised In tnat
country. The manager had secured
the entire new part of the annex 10
the poultry building and most un-
usual and extensive arrangement OF
the Canadian products had been ar
fruits and products of CANADIAN
farms were Systematically displayed
and more than that. lecturer was
kept busy explaining the advantages
of the north country for farming.
The poultry exhibit was the best
ever. Herman Corbett and o. j.
Sawyer and Frank Gilbert. and many
from surrounding towns had brought
in hundreds of fine birds. In one
corner Of the poultry room was a
big White Wyandotte with her nest
of chickens.
The grand stand has been very
materially enlarged since last fair,
and the seats were all filled Wednes-
day afternoon The racing was good.
One noticeable feature this year is the
absence of all questionable side
shows. There is no chance for crit
icism by even the most sensitive.
Shows that have been given in the
past are missing this year. The fair
is clean in every respect, and the
crowd is sober.
