m. A special meeting ot theSpiiiners
isociatitm a held Ust night , MIC
was fully attended. The deputation
which Wbited on the mill agents last
Thursday reported that tha replies
were unsatisfactory After discussion
the res ilulions were adop.ed , setting
forth grounds for asking an advance of
wages. Among these were the large i i
dividends , ranging frm ten to forty
per cent , on capital invested ; the fact i
tht the spinners are working in the
midst of prosperity for punlc prices ,
paid in the dark days of 1876 and
1877 ; increased cost of the necessa
ries < > f life , which has reduced the
purchasing power of wages twenty per
cent. , and does not leave a sufficiency
to provide for the necessaries of life
for families It was further set forth
that operatives here receive wages
under the average puid in New Eng
land status , and nre compelled to pay
higher tents and enjoy less adv ntages
than opera'ivcs in other manufactur I
ing districts. In view < f these thing * , i
and thu refusal of the manufactures to
lucre > so wages , it was further roeolved
to appoint a committee of ten to re
port at the next meeting as to whether
it will be advis < tbe ! to rtriko in fire ,
ten or all the mills. Also to select
thirty members to act as delegaUa tote i
to solicit aid from trades' utrons , nd

so as to prohibit punishment of the
India i for polygamy who , at the time

toms ot the tribe to which he be
