Boston. The general reduction of'
ten per cent, in the wages of New
England cotton-mill operatives which
was recently decided upon became ef
fect! re in mills employing 120,000 per
sons. The redaction is doe to the de
pression of the cotton-goods market,
which forced many mills to curtail
production. The city at Fall River,
Lawrence and Berkshire county are
not included in the general reduction,
hot may be affected later on. The
curtailment is general throughout
New Kn gland. The average curtail-
it is placed at from 30 to 25 per
cent, of the production. " The cotton
mills of New England have about 15.
000.000 spindles. In Fall River, pro
duction of print cloths was lessened
by about lsS.000 pieces, the largest
amount held from the market this
r. It is probable that most of the
FaU River mills will adopt M. C. D.
Borden's policy and run on half-time.
closing every other week.
Washington. In the next 60 days
the railroads of the United States will
have to find between 230,000 and 300,-
000 men to mend their tracks and
road beds and another large army to
go into their shops and repair their
cars and their locomotives. The rail
roads centering in Chicago alone will
require more than 100.000 laborers,
who will be employed in remedying
the ravages of the winter months
hlch, with their frosts and their
snows, nave made many miles or
shaky track and as many more of
softened roadbed. The managements
of all Chicago roads have decided to
cage in repair and renewal work
this spring and early summer on
extensive a scale as ever, owing to
the fact that labor will be plentiful,
and possibly cheaper, and also owing
to the fact that there are signs of busi
ness renewal everywhere.
Chicago. Employes of the Chicago,
Milwaukee St. Paul road, by coop
erating with the management to ob
tain the most rigid economy in opera
tion, have saved the necessity of
reduction in the rate of pay. During
January SI 60.000 was thus saved, of
which $38,000 was on coaL This is,
perhaps, the one Item in which the
greatest economy is possible, as care
less firing of locomotives is one of the
most nroductive fields for extravn-
gance to be found.
Readme Pa. At the dose of work
in the Beading Railway company's car
and locomotive shops March 31 000
employes were laid off. This is in
addition to 350 who were indefinitely
suspended last week. The force had
been previously reduced, so that less
than two-thirds of the men are now at
work. Foremen have been placed in
the ranks and the plants are working
four days of eight hours each. Sim
ilar susnensions took place at Palo

efforts to maintain open-shop condi
tions, and that the contest in the com
ing spring will be general.
Springfield. 111. Illinois operators
and miners were unable to reach
agreement on the differential between
machine and hand mining. The oper
ators want the price for machine min
ing ten cents per ton less than for
hand "'"'"g the same as it is in Indi
ana. The miners want the difference
now existing, of seven cents per ton
retained.
Pittsburg. Pa. From the year 1890
to the close of 190C, 22.849 men met
death in the coal mines of the United
States. Not since 1897 has the an
nual list numbered less than 1,000, and
each year the number has grown
larger. In ISO the fatalities were
2,061, and 1907. when the figures are

Paris. France. Statistics snow that

given.
New York. Controller Metx received
three letters threatening him . with
death unless work on proposed sub
ways is begun at once. The writers

New Haven. Conn. As an outcome
of a strike of cigannakers in the fac
tory of J. P. Kilfeather, the Cigar Man
ufacturers association threatens to
close all factories in if- "ity unless
the Kilfeather shop is declared open
to union men. This will affect ap-
I proximal sly 2,000 men.
Indianapolis, Ind. The Boot and
Shoe Workers International nnkm
makes claim that its system of 25
cents a week dues saves it from the
fear of strikes, and in such emergency
does away with the necessity of call
ing upon sister crafts for financial aid.
High dues also enable the union to
prosecute more sceeessfully its cam
paign for the union stamp. In Great
Britain the stamp has never been
adopted by the onion of that country.
though agitation for its . adoption Is
now going on. because the Britishers
are beginning to recognise the power
tnere is behind the American stamp
with a reasonably high rate of dues.
As one argument they mint to tha
successful operations of the American
union with its surplus of $100,000 in
bank.

pany from doing an interstate bnst-
s except in the transmission of
messages of the federal government

permit to do business in the state and
pay the required occupation and fran
chise taxes was rendered by District
Judge Calhoun, who stated that he
adopted the finding of the itib su
preme court in a similar case, under a
like statute there. The Judgment In
no way affects nor interferes with In
terstate business of the telegraph
company. Motion for a new trial was
filed by the defendant and acts as
stay of the injunction order.
Pittsburg. Pa. An order issued by
the Pennsylvania railroad to discharge
all foreigners and employ none hut
American citixens has caused a sem
tkm. The order affects only the la
borers, as the office force, operating
and mechanical departments have al
ways been operated by English-speak
ing men. The Pennsylvania railroad
system, when operating to its fall
pacity, employs about 180,000 per-
Chieago. Officials of the Wholesale
Grocery Employes union signed the
new wage agreement for the coming
sr. The old scale, ranging from $11
to $16 a week, was agreed upon. The
men receded from their demand tor
nine-hour day, ten hoars constituting
a day's work under the agreement.
The union is affiliated with the freight
handlers organization.
Chicago. The strike voted by the
milk wagon drivers union was ap
proved by the teamsters joint council
The indorsement - was., unanimous.
Nothing now remains to make the
strike legal but the sanction of the ex
ecutive board of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters at . Indi
anapolis, Ind.
Boston. Nineteen cigar manufactur
ers locked out their union men to en
force the ultimatum given to the
union to the effect that they must
take off the ban against a shop in
which men had struck following n dis
agreement with a foreman over a shop
rule. The union men in 33 other shops

men or the friends of labor to buy any
of the things noon which labor has
placed the stamp of disapproval.
Boston. At a conference representa
tives of 8.000 employes on the system

in a strike.
Columbus, O. Strong pressure has
been exerted by manufacturers
Gov. Harris to veto the Reynolds child
labor bin, now passed by both houses.
Arguments have been used both from
the factory and the children's point of
view, and delegations who have, vis
ited the governor have expressed
belief that he would veto the measure
with a view of having one less drastic
passed by the legislature.
Pottsville, Pa. Orders were Issued
by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
& Iron company for the resumption of
the 55 collieries and washeries of the
company, after having been on half

Seattle. Wash. Only nine of the
salmon canneries will be operated this
season, and Chinese labor contracts
are being let on a basis of less than
half of the pack of an average sen
son. New York. The relations between
the Erie Railroad company and its em
ployes took an abrupt turn for the bet
ter when it was learned that the com
pany will not attempt to enforce the
DroDOsed ten per cent, reduction in the
wages of its operating forces. Rather
than face the disastrous conditions of
Des Moines, la. A home for aged
and needy Iowa coal miners probably

ably will be carried bv a large
jority.
