CHILD STRUBK BY NEW BRITAIN AUTO | Enrico Denti Meets With Accident Yesterday Alternoon 'TRUMBULL FORGE LESSENED Holy Name Society Entertainment Tonight-—A. L. Mills Passes Away —Epworth Contest Closes—Forest- ville Items—Bricfs.

They will sail for Libau and proceed on borseback to the in- terior where tHeir families await them.

After several months during which mills, large and small, werc either completely closed or run- ning but one or two days a week, at | the present time all are open, with some operating on a full time basis and others on four or five days a | party, week schedule, with indications full time may be resumed soon. Almost without exception, the mills ' are renewing with wage cuts of 22 1-2 per cent in effect, the American Woolen company being the last large concern to announce the reduction. In practically every case the workers re- turned to their looms without marked | protest. Leading textile mill owners | are on record as declaring that more goods have been sold in the last three or four weeks than during the entire six months preceding. There is every ; confidence the revival is not a flurry but a healthy renewal of life in the textile industry. More than 80 per cent of the work- ers are ‘back in Fall River and from 70 to 80 per cent are again at work in other important textile centers in this section, including the more im- portant centers of New Hampshire and Rhode Island, also in Maine. About 50 per cent are reported as working in Lowell, Lawrence and New Bedford. On the whole, the cotton mills are somewhat more active than the mak- ers of woolens, it is stated. The re- vival is a direct response to the slashes in prices on cotton and wool- en goods, the new price lists being declared about January 1. Fabrica are offered at about one- halt, and ir many cases more than one-half the “peak’” qiotations of a year or two ago. Many of the orders now being received are labelled “Rush,” an indication that shelves of many retailers are bare, according to the textile managers, Robert Amory of Aniory, Brown & company, leading local mill agents, who place the goods of some of New England’s most important manufac- turers, said this week: ““A lot of goods have been sold the last ten days.” Augustus P. Loring, president of the Massachusetts Cotton mills, witn plants at Lowell, says: “The retailer has sold the bulk of his high eost goods and he is now coming into the market for goods at lower prices.” Andrew Aide, president of the Unit States Worsted company, de- clares the industry is now on the “front edge” of a healthy revival. All reports agree that there is lit- tle merchandise in the mills’ ware- houses and that practically all new { Stamford, business must be met by a resump- tion of mill operations.
