The little baronies of the little wool- en mill towns of New England are be- ginning' to crumble before the new freedom. The redueed tariff on im- ported woolen cloths which went into operation the first of January, is mot the sole cause of this decline, though it is an important cause, and perhaps the leading one, for the failure of some 50 of these small miflls within But from this and other causes, small New England villages have depended for generations on the owner of the little woolen mill, much as did the medieval village on its feudal chief, are facing, and in many instances experiencing, an economic and social overturn that is mot with- out its’ pathetic side. Unfitted for modern husiness con- ditions, many of them _undoubtedly are, Yet they have had a peculiar and honorable part in the nation's in- dustry; and have been a picturesque and valudple part in the rural life of New England. Demands Individual Skill Unlike cotton manufacture, the woolen industry demands now, and probably always will require a large element of individual skill that puts i in a position somewhat peculiar to it- self. Raw wool differs widely in quality and length, even in the same fleece, .and individual skill in blending wool fibres for manufacture can be attained ‘only. by long practice and special aptitude. This is a delicate task with wool and other materials like cotton, linen or silk. The appear- ance and feel of the finished cloth de- pend wholly on the skill of the blen- der, and the outsider may well enough judge of the importance of individual skill 'by the mere statement of the problem. Then, too, the dyeing of wools is a matter in which individual skill still plays a-large part, in spite of the many advances that hrd-e been made in the chemistry and: mechanics of dyeins. Owing. to this necessity for close personal supervision sof every. process of woolen manufacture, it used to be considered axiomatic in.the industry that it, couldn’t succeed when a mill became so large that the manager was unable to know personally everything that’ went onin the course of manu- facture. The limit of size was various- ly set at from 10 to 15 sets—a set be- ing the sertes of machines from the card -to the loom—which would take wool up to the capacity of the carding machine. But with later methods in machinery - and in mill organization, these limits on the size of the success- ful woolen mill: have disappeared, and it is well known that large woolen mills are operating quite as success- fully as the prosperous small ones. Reasons of Decline Many of -the small mills, which have come into the hands of the sec- ond generation of owners, have proved unequal to modern competition for a variety of reasons. Their second gen- eration owners or managers have all the necessary -technical knowledge of handling and weaving wool, and the production of patterns; vet the mills do_not succeed, One reason for this either of = commercial ability, or ex- perience, .or . connections, and these defects are especially serious when is the lack "the capacity of a small mill has been gradually enlarged to a point where the owner is yntble to sell profitably all his produce. Another reason is the failure, sometimes for lack of money, sometimes for lack of enterprise, to keep the machinery of the mill abreast of modern improvements, which give an advantage in efficiengy to the mills which adopt them. Still another cause is the excessive cost of transportation insome cases.’ Originally all. woolen mills were run by water power sites in the days when rail transportation was not, as it is now, one of the large elements, in the selling cost of goods, and in the ability to ship quickly both raw material and the finished pro- duct, Other causes of decline include the fact .that- many small mills have run for years on comparatively coarse products of limited range for which ;he market has gradually been fail- ng. Where the Tariff Comes In There seems to be no doubt that the new tariff on raw wool and on finished woolen cloth is having a_bad effect on some of the small New Eng- land mills. . For the benefit of the un- initiated it may be well to explain here that wool cloth is_divided into worsteds and woolens. Worsteds are made oft long-fibred wool, the short fibres of the fleece being removed by the process known as combing. Cloths made of long fibres have fewer ends of fibres projecting from the surface of the finished cloth, and are conse- quently smoother to the touch.

The Butterick Store, 164 Main Street Experts in the World, - SMALL MILL TOWNS SUFF_RING New Woolen Tariff Has Its Effect in New England Villages— Woolen Mills Have Failed in Past Six Months—Where ens, by eontrast, are made of a mix- ture of fibre lehgths, Including a large proportion of- the relatively short lengths. The wool for woolens is pre- pared by carding, which does not re- move the short fibres. Woolens, there- fore, include cheaper, because shorter, wool than worsteds; more fibre ends project from the finished cloth, and this is consequently much rougher l% the touch than a worsted. - What the woolen people wanted of the new tariff, according to one ex- pert explanation, was that it should remove from combing wools, ‘used for the making of worsteds, the high protection they had had under the Payne and earlier tariffs. The carded wool people, in other words, wanted access to longer fibres, so that they eould lessen the gap between worsteds and woolens. What they got was free raw wool and a reduction of the duty on imported finished wool cloths to an average of about 28 per cent. Smashing Little Mills How the tariff smashes little mills is shown by the very late experience of a mill in western Massachusetts—which is really above the small mill class, but which illustrates well enough what the small mill is up asgalnst. This mill hag for years past sold to Marshall Field Co., in" Chicago, a certain line of dress goods. The busi- ness fvas such a certainty that the mill often made up the goods amount- ing to 50 or 60 thousand yards, with- out- waliting for a formal order from Chicago. The new- tariff changed things. When the new rates were es- tablished, Marshall Field sent to Eng- land samples of the goods the Massa- chusetts mili had been making for them and asked for prices from'the English mills. When they got the prices, which were a number of cents a yard lower tham they ‘had een paving the American mill they sent the English prices to the Massachusetts mill with this message: “We would' like to keep on doing business . with yon, bhecause you are American, and have always given us good service. Here. are, the foreign prices. We don’t ask you to go below them; if you can meet them, we will give you the orders.” 'Careful figuring -at the mill showed that the baré cost of producing the goods was aboue five cents a yard higher ‘than the price offered by the Enstish bidder. That was the end of the Marshall Field orders for the Massachusetts mill, and the experience has been and will be duplicated for many other concerns. Difference in Wages The great disadvantage of the Am- erican mill seems to be the higher wages paid here. The English woolen manufacturer, like the English cotton manufacturer, differs from his Ameri- can competitor in that he shuns any considerable inyestment in modern machinery and plant. In wooiens, where the element of personal skill is so important, the English maker has the advantage of the American miil in lower wages; probably, also, his workers, owing to the-larger markets for which they work, are more adapt- able and not unhkely more efficient than our rural New England mill hands. In the small mills here, the plant investment is small, and the burden comes mainly in the difference in wages. If the small m{ls cannot stand the competition, ‘special orders will have to be filled by foreign ‘mak- ers, or buyers wili have to take what they can getfrom’ forelgn’stoeks ' im- ported for sale here on cominission. Rise in Raw Wool Pricés. With the duty on raw wool removed, there has lately been a rise of from 10 to 15 per cent. in the cost of forelun wool, and some explanations for this rise furnish Interesting commentaries on the ways of the American. Putting several explanations together, it would seem that the rise in foreign wool prices is a resultant of the fact that foreign wools are graded as to length of fibres; that American buyers abroad force the price up by unreasoning de- termination to buy specific lots when other lots would serve their purposes and could be had at lower prices, and the fact that American raw wool is not graded but comes to the manufacturer of all lengths of fibre messed together, and with a large and expensive adul- teration of plain dirt- As to the latter, it is said that many American shear- ers deliberately load with sand fleeces which they think would pass muster with even more dirt in them than they bring from the sheep. “Belliss” and “skirts” on a well fleeced sheep natur- ally get dirty, and the average shear- er ig accused of maintaining an arti- ficial standard of dirtiness that is a substantial fraud on the buyer, The American wool buyer abroad is charged with a perverse determination to get particular lots of wool, running the price up needlessly, while his for- eign competitors stand back and let him put the price up. When he has bought at an advanced figure the for- eign buyer, so it is said, calmly buys his own supply of “just as good” at an appreciably lower price. If this charge is true, the American is adding need- lessly to the difference in wages which is the heaviest burden in competition with, the foreign manufacturer. This account of the matter may not be by men who ought to know the real facts. Foreign woll is preferred to Ameri- can because it is only on the basis of graded wool that the buyer knows at all what amount of cloth of a specified grade he can produce with a specified expenditure for the raw material, The ungraded American wool, on the con- trary, may spin anything from 6s to 64s. There is no knowing in advan-e at all what it will produce, and this a bad basis for flguring the cost » producing specified grades of cloth. The non-grading of American wool is a practice that does scanty credit to our national boast of falrness and horse sense. A Pathetic 8ide. There is a pathetic side to this im- minent extinctlon of the small mill, In all New England there are said to pe perhaps 400 such small establishments and in !omethlfi like 150 villages the tmh l:n mill “l e only inan-try‘:c and e town’s sole excuse, econom! for existing at atl, " e In these small places the people do some small farming, but for genmera. tions the mill has heen the one souree of employment at wages.

Accept no substitute. the villages out of the moral and social degeneracy which is the notorious state of little, remote New England towns ‘where there is no organized industry. “I compare e mill villages,” sa'd this man, “with my own little home town. where-there is no' industry ard where, in consequence, sloth and moral stagnation make a black picture of New England degeneracy. The small mill owners have saved hundreds of our villages from this low state.. Now there appears to be an end of the sav ing, for the mill workers, largely of American stock, even at this late day, are tied to their villages by the owu ership of ‘land. They cannot compete with foreign labor in the larger cen- ters. They have grown up in seclusion, in little special environments of their own, and it does not.seem possible for them to break into new fields and make themselves at home there.” But the world “do move,” it said, and despite the law of gravitation the moving seems to cause some things to drop out of their fixtures. If this is to be the story with the small New England mill villages, then the proo- lems of “rural slum work” will assume a new importance and acuteness. HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO UNITED WORKERS.
