Wage reduction forecast hits 600000 mill workers in New England
Textile manufacturers in New England and New York announce a planned wage cut of about 22 4 percent to ease industry stagnation. The move targets workers in cotton and woolen mills, aiming to restore pre 1915 wage levels as retail prices and living costs shift. The statement notes reluctance from retailers but argues wage cuts may stabilize demand and prevent widespread layoff. Key figures include Wood of American Woolen and W Frank Shore of Fall River Manufacturers Association, with conference participation across New England and New York state.
