TEXTILE MAN5 T ICTLRERS
REFl'SE TO RAISE WAGES
Tell Workers They Would Rather
Close Mills Than Accede to , Re
quest.
Vail River, Mass., Jan. 8. The move
ment for a wage advanee of 20 per
cent, in the cotton mills of New Eng
land, still of small proportions but
under consideration as a matter ior
general action by the United Textile
Workers of the Fall River Cotton
Manufacturers' Association. Such a
demand could not he grunted under
present conditions and manufacturers
would close their mills rather than ac
eede to it, the association declared in
an official statement.
The proposal for a 20 per cent in
crease is explained by President
Thotaas F. McMnhon, of the 0, T. W.
M intended to effect restoration of
the wages of cotton workers to the
rates that prevailed before the cut
of 22 1-2 per cent. In 1020. The wage
reduction of 20 per cent, declared 11
months ago ln most New England cen
ters bns been almost generally re
stored, but this city was not affected
hy that movement and U. T. W leaders
decided to start the, light for the new
adjustment here.
The executive committee of the
United Textile Workers wns In session
here today when the manufacturers'
association refusal was made known.
It was understood President McMnhon
was to bring before the committee the
advisability of making a general
.fight for the advance, at this time.

Mr. Malice sKike at 11 o'clock and
he wns heard by some of the most in
Hucutinl farmers of the county, men
who rnlse hundreds of bales of cotton.
He talkisl on the methods and plans to
be used toward successfully combatting
the weevil.
According to Mr. Malice, IhiIi cid

of dollars damage in (he cotton glow

A thorough application of the coi

n Ml. jaDW, explnineil that
soon ns the cotton is picked in the Fall,
the stuks should lie plowed under. This
should be done before the lirsl frost,
and in (bis way the young generation
of weevils will be killed. Tbe speaker
urged the farmers lo clean up their
fields by burning off the ditch-banks
and ,m,ie,.brnsh 011 the edges of tin
Oottou land. Tbe boll 'weevil is known
, hibernate in this brush, and with its
destrnetion numbers of the pesls will
be kilied before they can do harm on
the next year's crop.
The first squares that fall off should
be picked up and destroyed, if small
acreage and low labor cost will justi
fy it. With large farms and expensive
hrttn howtevev, this method b imprac
ticable, he said.
Poisoning the Insects with calcium
arsenate has lieen successfully accomp
lished in Scotland county, this State,
according to figures submitted by Mr.
Mnbee. A lest was made by six farm
ers of that county who used the cal
cium arsenate on plots of land beside
oilier plots thai were mil dusted.
The average cost of the poison ier
acre was Si.2,s and I he yield was in
creased to the extent Hint the net prof
it on the cotton dusted over the 1111
'tlnsted plots wns $24.28 per acre.
The dusting must lie done at night
by especially constructed machines for
the purpose. These machines come in
several sizes, according to the size of
the acreage worked.
. Prices of the machines range from
$lfi for the small hand dusters to $300,
the price of dusters that do the work
for around 00 acres of cotton.
The dusting qf the cotton is done at
night on account of the better atmos
pheric conditions existing al that
time, nnd also because of the dew
which holds the poison n the cotton
stalks and leaves. Mr. Mabee said.
Mr. Mahee warms! the fanners
against sharpers who will appear later
on with miraculous boll weevil exter
minators, saying that the department
of agriculture has found no bettor
methods Hull will accomplish lietter
results than those Unit he disclosed
during bis talk.
Carving in Coal.
London, Jan. 10. That he has sold
coal at higher price than any living
man is the claim of a Yorkshire min
er, whose hobby Is curving. Thirty
years ago he tried to curve a lump of
coal in the shape of a book. He was
successful, nnd since then he has gone
nerfecttng his strange art. There is
unite a demand for his models, and of
ten he has sold 11 piece of curved coal
weighing an ounce for ns much as ten
dollars. This strange sculpture polish
es Ilis material until it Jooks like eb

He has made models for such famous
people as tjueen Victoria. Lord Rob
