The Lowell Daily Courier, August 7 1901, comments on rising Southern lynching violence and the risk of wage reductions in cotton mills. It discusses Arkansas Governor proposals to private hangings, limits of trust efforts like Fall River, and Senator Cullom’s tariff stance with possible reciprocity changes. The piece contrasts civil order with frontier violence and questions industrial consolidation prospects.
The piece questions how far tariff alterations hinted by the senator will go and notes Cullom adds little beyond expectations. It discusses the steel trust’s push against recognizing organized labor, the uncertain tenability of the proposal, and the recurring capital vs. labor clashes amid strong unions and cautious magnates.
