Weavers Seek 10 Percent Wage Increase at Barnaby Mills
Full attendance at a Fall River meeting shows 290 weavers demanding a 10 percent wage rise. The agent cites a prior 10 percent hike on seersuckers, but the committee argues the price cut and cut size negate real gains. They vote to stay out until the raise is granted and consider joining Knights of Labor. Stephen Ashley doubts immediate results, noting payrolls show earnings of 14 to 21 dollars for two weeks and only one 5 percent cut in three years. All mill departments except the weave room run as usual.
