Big strike probable as New England mill wages cut
In Fall River Massachusetts on December 10 a general meeting of cotton manufacturers voted unanimously to reduce mill wages by at least 10 percent starting January 1. 28,000 workers would be affected, earning about 180,000 dollars weekly in total. The Carders’ association delayed action, while the Spinners’ union sent the matter to its executive board. A bitter strike is forecast if the cut is enforced without concessions, though some groups may seek a conference with manufacturers.
