Massachusetts Cotton Industry Grows Despite Southern Competition
The Massachusetts Labor Bulletin reports that from 1887 to 1896 Massachusetts increased spindles by about 46 percent while national population rose about 23 percent. Mass alone held over half of North Atlantic spindles, with 1896 output far surpassing Southern states. Wages, fuel costs, and child labor show regional differences, and Southern mills face longer hours and lower wages but similar cotton costs overall.
