Pacific Mills.
. LAWRENCE, Mass.
Mn. EDITon :-—When I came to this city
I promised myself to give the readers of the
GAZETTE some brief sketches of some 0f the
manufacturing corporations of Lawrence,
and as the “Pacific Mil " has been brought
into prominence by some of the untoward
happenings, so to speak, in their workings, a
brief mention of what is done in fhcsr: mills
cannot fail to be of interest to the public.
It must be brief, however, for a detailed ac—
count of such a magnificent concern would
require a large volume to contain it. Few
persons have any adequate ideaIOf this great
concern,and the tireless energy,skill,patiencc,
perseverance and broad intelligence required
to operate it in its various details. From the
lowest occupation Connected with this great
industry to the highest, training, experience
and aptitude of a large congregation of indi-
viduals are all brought into play. The wool
sorter is as necessary and as important a
factor in his place as a wool buyer. The
skillful and deft fingers of the woman who
tends the looms or the. spinning mules are
just as necessary in their place as the labors
of the chemist, the designer or the dyer.
There is a general work to be done,an object
to be consummated. And that object is the
production of dress fabrics. To secure this
end what a large ’variety of industries are
drawn from. The cotton grower at the
South, the wool grower in,.the West, in Aus-
tralia, Africa and South America. The ma—
kers of the various raw material for chemi-
cals, drugs and dyes,and the makers of these
articles.
The manufacturers of machinery of all
kinds—and their name is legion—and finally,
wherever you turn, you find an origin for
the various materials used, more or less re-
mote, and the vista of supply widens as you
look down it, reversing the ordinary condi-
tions of occular perspection. Then there is
another thing that should be taken account
of; the maroelloua skill of the operatives and
the grand results of the machinery that they
guide and attend. The woman who leads a
life of idleness at a boarding house or hotel,
or who settles down to housekeeping after
marriage; has but apoor idea of what activi-
ty of occupation is. In her life there is lit-
tle to disturb a kind of sluggish monotony.
With the mill girl how different. To one
unaccustomed to the continual clack, rattle,
whizz, whirr and scr'e'ech of machinery, how
trying to the nerves must be the noise of a
cotton or woolen mill; but when there is in
additiofi to this combination of nerve—tryin‘g
sounds an absolute necessity of the most
watchful vigilance and alacrity of effort,
the contract between the two conditions can
in some measure be realized. In such a vast
industry, too,where results depend so largely
upon machinery which, though in some re—
spects automatic, has to be properly looked
after, and where success depends upon large
results there can be no idle workers. Every
one has to do his or her part, as every ma—
chine has to its part. It is a. vast combina—
tion of brains, muscle and machinery, each
element playing‘ its important part in the.
production of results.
And right here let us pause for a moment
to pay a tribute to the skill and genius of the
foreign citizens who have done so much to
aid American'textile fabrics. We must not
forget what we owe to these people, who
though seeking to better their condition in'
this country, have at the same time been a
benefit to it. Our textile industries are young
when compared with England, France and
Germany, and, though in some respects we
have made advances which cut us loose from
them in certain matters of former depend—
ence, we are still the debtors of their me-
chanics, artisans and artists to a very great
extent. To the English and Scotch artisans
we are indebted for much of the excellence
of our worsted and woolen, as well as our
mixed fabrics. To the French and Germans
we owe something for our excellence in de~
signs, colors, &c. All these people have
given us important aid in enabling our man—
ufacturers to compete with the world in
many of the standard textile products. To
be sure we are every year making advances
of our own, but at the same time we should
not undervalue the services which have ad-
vanced us in the east. The Pacific Mills, as
it is well known, are situated in Lawrence,
Massachusetts, on the Merrimac river, twen-
» ty-six miles from Boston. The company
owning these mills was incorporated in 1853
with acapital of $2,500,000 which has not
been changed. It was chartered to manufac-
ture ladies’ goods, of cotton, of wool, or of
cotton and wool combined, with the necessa—
ry appliances for printing and dyeing the
same. There is not a dry goods store in the
United States, and few of any account
in the British‘merican provinces where the
products of the Pacific Mills are not known.
They are staple goods, such as are required
by the great masses of the people, and hence
their great consumption. The following are
the principal makes of these mills : Worsted
goods, Poplin lustrcs, Alpaca lustrcs, Cach—
mires, Merinoes, Jacquard lustres, Serges,&c.
Printed and dyed cottons: Percales, Corded
Jaconets, organdies, lawns, prints. cretonnes,
etc. This vast concern has. on the banks of
the Mcrrimac, twelve mills and buildings in
which every departmént of their varied
manufactures is located. To give some idea
of the extent of area covered by this indus-
try; it may be said that the flooring aggre-
gates forty-five acres. or more than 2,000,000
square feet. There are in operatidn 135,000
cotton and 26,000 worsted spindles, and the
number of looms of all kinds is 5,000. The
amount of cotton used per week is 190,000.
pounds, and of fleece wool 70,000 pounds.
From these materials are produced 1,500, —
000 yards of dyed or printed, worsted or
woolen or mixed cloths per Week. Here we
have an annual gross product of dress goods
of nearly 80,000,000 of yards, an aggregate
that no other single man ufacturing corpora—
tion in the world,that does a similar business
in all its details, can show. In the mills
there are twenty-four printing machines,
‘cspable of printing from one to sixteen col.
on. It is very rare that a fabric of sixteen
colors are called for, and not often that fab-
rics of ten colors are produced, the range
being from one to three and four colors. But
of course this is altogether contingent upon
the public taste and demand for more or less
elaborate patterns. The motive power for
these mills and their complex machinery and
appliances is furnished by both steam and
water. The mills have sixty boilers of an
aggregate of 4,000 horse power, and thirty-
seven engines of 1,400 horse power. The
amount of coal consumed each year is about
45,000 tons. The company is about putting
in two steam engines of 1,000 horse power
each in order to secure cheaper motive power
than is now furnishe the water company
(The Essex 00.) that rrnish power to all the
mills in Lawrence. It is said that this corn-
pany (Essex Co.) in the last year has charged
some $67,000 for surplus or over—supply to _
the various manufacturing companies of
which amount the Pacific Mills lmve‘had in
pay $20,000. Hence the desire to become
more independent in this respect. The mills
have eleven turbine water wheels with an
aggregate capacity of 2,000 horse power. To a
show how vast an outlay the short winter
days entail in the matter of lighting the fac—
tories of the Pacific company, it may be
stated that during the six months of the year
in which it is necessary to light the 6,000
burners in the mills the cost for gas is $35,—
000. The number of persons now employed ,
is 6,700, Think, for a moment how consid-
erable a. town 6,709 people alone make; but
when we consider that this number of labor-
ers represent about 13,000 inhabitants of a
place, we begin to realize the vast extent of
this industry. One such an establishment
would make a town'like Nor-walk. It is one
third of the population of the city of Law-
rence, a city which commenced its career as
a town in the'samc year that brought Chica—
go iuto existence (1835) and which in many
'w ays has had quite as remarkable a career.
The average earnings of the women and girls
.at the mills is 98 cents a day, and of the men
and boys $1.40. The number of hours
worked per month for each person is 265.
People will generally not care to take out their
pencils and figure from the data given, what
.thclahor and materials necessary to the in-
dustry of these mills must amount to in a
given time. Some idea will be formed of it,
however, when it is put in a way that can be
easily understood and remembered. There
is paid out for labor ten dollars per minute of
ten hours per day, all that the law allows to
be worked, and the cost of material is twenty
dollars. Thus we have for every minute
worked of the ten hours working time an
aggregate expenditure of, in this one indus—
try, of 5530. At this rate, counting but 300
working days in the year, we have a gross
expenditure for labor and supplies of $5,—
400,000 every year, of which amount $1,-
800,000 is realized from labor. To attempt,
ina mere newspaper article, more than a
superficial description of the methods and
processes employed in this vast industry
would be to attempt an impossibility. Take .
the personnel of the whole concern. We have
the selling agents who ar'e supposed to know
the markets correctly, gauge the varied and
varying tastes of the people. They dictate
the styles and descriptions of fabrics to pro—
duce. Then there is the treasurer, who is
usually distinct from the selling agent. lie
sees to the prompt and prOper supply of all
material needed at the mills, and has his
agents in various parts of the world all the
time purchasing the things that are wanted.
Then at the mills is the resident agent, who
has general charge of all the departments of
manufacture. Under him are the superin-
tendents of the worsted, cotton and printing
departments. Under these are the foremen
or bosses of various departments, and under
them, in turn, are the women and workmen
of the various grades. Like the complex
machines and processes which are operated
by them to practical results, the various
grades of labor, superintendencc and super-
vision, are parts of a complex human ma—
chine combining cvcry mental and physical
requisite to work the wonders which are
worked by the machines guided and operated
by them. The whole thing is anorganism of
combined skill and energy, of machinery
and muscles and brain, which is truly won-
dcrfnl. And what is peculiar with the
Pacific Mills—a tleast peculiar as compared
with the English system of work—is that,
from the introduction of. the raw material to
the completion of the fabrics, everything
connected with their production, grading,
marking, boxing and sampling is done at~thc
mills. In England, the results brought
about in this one concern employs from ten
to fifteen different manufacturing concerns.
Most persons are familiar with 'the process
of cotton manufacture therefore g will not
detail 'the process over again. In all River
it is known there are mills that make print
cloths for sale to whoever will buy them.
The Pacific Mills make their owl's print cloths
and do their printing.
In the treatment and; manufacture of
wools, however, there E’Inorc of detail, and
very much more of, skill required of those
engaged in its manipulation. The ordinary
run of fleece wool will make six dif-
ferent grades or qualities, and when the
bags .- or bales are opened the first
work to be done is that of ’_“sorting” it,
which is a business requiring 'both skill and
experience. Every piece has to be gone
over carefully, the ends or “tips" which are
clotted with dirt are clipped off, the short
and long wools separated and the coarser
wool, &c., placed by themselves. The wool
is then taken and “secured” by being ex-
posed for a short time in a weak solution of
alkali or soap, it is then passed through
squeeze rolls under a pressure 0 f 9 tons; it
then enters the ,rinsing bath again through
the squeeze rolls and dryer. It is then run
through a carding machine (we are now
speaking of worsted making.) wherein ad-
dition to receiving other two cleansings baths
it is drawn out into thick strands, like soft
ropes, in which lthe fibers are arranged in a
parallel manner, in order to to be drawn out
into a still smaller rope. These strands
wound into balls each larger than a man’s
head are then placed around the periphery
of the revolving card.- In this by a com
plicated but very ingenious arrangement of
the parts, the wool is further drawn out and
made to pass through “combs” so fine that
every particle of dirt or foreign matter is
separated with a small portion of the
staples. The waste, with its dirt is
know as “toils” and is sold to
manufacturers of coarse woollen fabrics for
it is somewhat better than “shoddy.”
After leaving the combs .the abused wool
. still in strands, is passed through a number
of machines, each of which draws it finer
and finer, until it is completed on the spin—
ning frames and mules when it is then reeled
and goes to the dyer.
The wool for fine dress fabrics has to pass
through some fifteen different machines be-
fore it is finished. The machines used in
this work are very elaborate and complete.
They arclargely of English and French make
and must be the results of a very great
number of most ingenious inventions. When
colors and designs are woven in the cloth,
the yarn is-dycd before washing; whcrc,prints
are produced, the colors are put on after-
wards. -
But few people have any conception of the
labor and expense entailed upon the manu«
facturer by that peculiar human acquiremeut
or faculty, know by the common name of
the taste. If it were not for this taste,
white, {coarse fabrics, without design or
finish, could be made and worn, and perhaps
more wear could be got out of them than
from the elaborate and highly—finished fa—
brics. But taste seems to be as natural to
man as it is to plants, and it would inded be
a humiliating thing to think that, while
the unintelligent plants could clothe them—
selves with the tints of beauty, and shake out
from their blossoming crests not only sweet
odors, but a beauty and richness of coloring
that it is not easy even to imitate. Tastes
docs for man what ’naturc does for the
flowers, and hence our industries are loaded
with the burdens it puts upon them.
But it pays to all concerned. The brain
of the designer is educated to meet the
growing wants of the pathetic principles in
our nature, and from this wonderful kaleid-
oscope we see reflected beauties of color and
design which inspires us .with the most
lively and agreeable emotions, which tell us
that we are, to a degree, but the chamelon
of a higher and more mental order of being.
The designer plays an important part in the
economy of dress-goods production. The
wary and speculative selling agent, seeing
the tendency of the public taste, or knowing
the natural reaction from, one character of
design to the other—who, in fact, watches
the lights and shades of the _' tendency and,
the desire of that taste—dictates, in a gener-
al way to his corps of designers what they
are expected to do, and according as they
meet that desire, and according as that do
sire is gauged upon a correct esrimatc of the
wants of the public—the coming wants, that
is; for such matters have to be anticipated—
tbe more successful is the industry. The
Pacific Mills have been very fortunate in the
main in this respect. They have a corps of
thoroughly skilled draughtsmen and de—
signers in Boston and New York. who are
at work all the time producing new designs.
English styles are altogether discarded.
reach styles are taken as models to build
y or receive suggestions from. In matters
of designs for female dress, the French ar—
tists and artisans are excellent. Skilled labor
in France as regards dress goods is probably
the most ingenious in the world. _The
English have not their genius and taste in
the fabrication and design of ladies dress
goods, like their Gallic neighbors.
An English woman will dress richly, but
rarely with the taste of a French woman.
The American wown affect more the taste
and style of the French than the English,
and as a result thc'Americau product has to
compete wlth and supplant the French pro—
duct which it may be said to have already
accomplished. It has given equally desire-
able goods at less cost than the French.
Hence its success, and hence the success of
the Pacific Mills.
It is said that corporations have no souls.
This is onc,'of the truisms which is a
misnomer. It has been the aim. of the
Pacific Mills corporation to elevate the con-
dition of its operatives, physically, morally
and mentally. A lecture hall was provided
at the start, afterward a library and reading
room. The library now contains 7,000
volumes, and has an average of 700 daily
readers. A relief society was started in 1858,
whereby the sick men were provided with
a weekly allowance during sickness. The
heads of families have been encouraged to
build houses for themselves, the company
making loans of 6 per Cent, to enable them
to do so. This is the only bad feature we
can see in the Pacific Corporation, for it is a
positive damage to the operative, as we
could show if We had space. As a result of
about 40‘ per cent. of the heads of families
now employed own their houses. For many
years the company received deposits from
their operatives and paid six per cent.
annually thereon, allowing interest monthly
but for reasons thought to be justifiable, this
has been given up. '
Sinccthe organization of the Pacific Com-
pany there has been nothing like an ordinary
"strike” in its mills. When difficulties have
arisen they have been amicably arranged.
At the Paris exposition in 1867, the French
Emperor instituted a new order of awards——
ten prizes of 10,000 francs each to the ten
different individuals or associations that, in
a series of years, had accomplished the most
to secure a state of harmony between
employees and the employers and the
most successfully. advanced the ma—
terial, moral and intellectual welfare of
their employees. Five hundred applica—
tions were made from all the countries of
Europe and from the United States—none of
the awards were given to France, Germany,
or the other countries in Europe, audonly
one to the United States, and that the Pacific
Mills. This is something for the corpora-
tion in question to be prdud of.
Afcw words more and we have done
There are two chimneys or smock-stacks on
this establishment that are monuments of
skill. They are 285 feet high, each and were
built atacost $116,000. Ata quarter be-
fore onc o’clock on the 28th of June one of
them was struck by lightning and so com-
pletcly shattered that what remains will
have to be torn down and re built. The
brick were scattered over a large area doing
much damage to one of the mills and to
several of the surrounding houses. It is
wonderful that such damage should be done
without loss of life, from the fact that the
help were just returning from dinner.
We will try and glean up some facts from
some of the other corporations such as the
Atlantic, Washington, Pemberton, Everett,
Arlington, Duck and others for the readers
of the Custom, after which we will follow
the moral and social condition of this manu—
facturing city as it impresses us. T. H. G.

Business Improving.
LESS FAILURES THIS YEAR THAN LAST—THE .
REPORT OF DUN, BARLOIV 8.7 CO. _
The report of Don, Barlow ti: Co.’s mer—
cantile agency dated July 14, states that the
number of failures in Connecticut during
the first six months of 1880 was 89, with lia-
bilities of $639,734; during the correspond-
ing six months in 1879 the number was 83
and the_ liabilities $2,093,092. The total
number of failures in the United States dur-
ing the first six months of 1880 was 2,497
with liabilities $32,888,763 ; in the same
months in 1879 the number was 4,058 and
the liabilities $65,779,390. This showing is
commented upon as follows : The failures
for the first half of 1880, according to the
above showing, appear to be only 2,497 in
number with liabilities amounting to barely
$33,000,000. These figures are much smaller
than it has ever been our good fortune to
chronicle for any similar period. The first
six months of 1879 showed a remarkable di—
minution—the liabilities for that period being
only $65,000,000 as against $130,000,000 in
the same period of i878—or a lessened loss
by bad debts of fully one half. But it has
been for the first six months of 1880 to show
a reduction of as great a ratio even on the
reduced figures of the previous year; for the
liabilities of thelast half year are only $33,
000,000 as compared with $65,000,000 in
1879, and 5135000000 in 1878. Thus for
the first half of 1880, as compared with the
first half of 1878, the loss by failures appears
to be lessened by nearly $100,000,000. During
the first quarter of 1880 the total number, of
failures in the country was 1,432 with liabili-
ties of $12,777,074. The figures for the sec
0nd quarter of each year since 1875 are shown
in the following table: A
SECOND QUARTER.

The report continues
ures, which indicate a decline in failures so
marked, even as compared with the favorable
showing of the year/previous, are a fresh il—
lustration of the healthy condition of busi—
ness which is almost universally supposed to '
prevail. If during such years as 1878, when '
the loss by bad debts equalled $5,000,000 per
week, the failure figures illustrated a very,
disastrous condition of affairs, surely no bet-
ter sign of the general prosperity that now
prevails is needed than the tables which we
herewith present for the first half of 1880,
in which the losses from this source are
shown to be rather less than one and a duar-
ter millions per week. So that not only are
the figures in themselves evidence of pros-'
perity, but the absence from loss which they
imply is a part of the existing favorable con-
dition of business.” ‘

We kuo'w of no social reformer who dc-
servca morcrgratitudc from the American
people than Anthony Comstock. May God
spare him long to stand between the villain-
ous hosts who hate him, and our beloved
children,_whom they are trying, with fiend-
ish malignity, to pollute and destroy. His
neck some of them would be as glad to
wring as they would that of a Thanksgiving
turkey. but he stands by his duty like the
Christian man he indubitably is. When Mr.
Comstock came into the field which be now
occupies so efficiently,therc were 165 obscene
books published in this country. 0f tflcse
he has seized and destroyed the plates of
163, and the owners of the remaining two,
getting scared, destroyed them themselves.
He has seized and destroyed 2-1. tons of ob-
cene printed matter, and arrested 425 persons
for dealing in this matter. He has seized
and destroyed 1,700 photographic negatives
of obscene pictures, 530 wood-cuts, and 350
stool and copper—plate engravings. All this
filthy material and the power of its multipli- ’ "
plication he has saved from being unloaded
upon the youth of this country. The watch-
fulness, the intrepidity, the self—devotion
with which he has effected these wonderful
results, stamp him as ‘one of the most useful
and remarkable of the Christian workers of
our time.—-Scrz'bner for July.

Rule’s For Ladies Traveling
Alone.
I. Be sure you know where you want to
go before you get on the train.
II.‘When you purchase your ticket you
will-have to pay for it; no use to tell the
ticket agent to “charge it and send the bill
to your husband.” And if he says the price
of the ticket is 552,86, don’ tell him you can
get one just like it of the conductor or at the
other store for $2.50 he won’t believe you
and may laugh at you. ‘
III. Never travel without money. It re-
quires broad views, liberal education, keen
discernment and profound judgment to travel
without money. No one can do this success-
fully but tramps and editors.
IV. Beware of the commercial traveler.
V. Don’t give a strange; your ticket and
ask him to go out and check your trunk.
He will usually be only too glad to do it, and
your trunk will be so effectually checked
that it will never catch up with you again.
And then when the conductors ask for your
ticket and you relate to him the pleasing .
little allegory about the stranger and the
baggage, he will look incredulous and smile
down upon you from half closed eye and
say that it is a beautiful romance, but he has
heard it before. And then you will put up
your jewelry or disembark at the next sta—
tion.
IV. If you are going three hundred miles
don’t try to get off the train every fifteen
minutes under the impression that you are
there. If you get there in twelve hours you
will be doing excellently.
VII. Call the brakeman “conductor;”hc
has grown proud since he got ,his uniform,
' and it will flatter him. '
VIIoI. Put your shawl strap, bundle and
two paper parcels in the hat rack, hang your
bird cage to the corner of it, so when it falls
off it will drop into the lap of the old gen—
tleman sitting behind you, stand your four
house plants on the window sill, set your
lunch basket on the scat beside you, fold
your shawls on the top of it, carry your
pocketbook in one hand and hold your
silver mug in the other, put your two valises
under the seat, and hold your band—box and
the rest of your things in your lap. Then
you will have all your baggage at hand and
won't be worried'or flustercd about it when
you have only twenty-nine seconds in which
to change cars.
IX. Address the conductor every ten
minutes. It pleases him to have you notice
him. If youfcen’t think of any new question
to ask him, ask the same old one every time.
'Always call him “Say” or “Mister.”
X. Pick up all the information you can
while traveling. Open the windows and
look forward to see how’ fastthe engine is
going. Then when you get home you can
tell the children about the big cinder you
picked up with your eye, and how nice and
warm it was and what it tasted like.
XI. Don’t hang your parasol on the .
cord that passes down the middle of the car.
It isn’t a clothes line. It looks like one, but
it isn’t.
XII. Keep an eye on the passenger who
calls the d: y Monday “Chewsday.” He can’t
be trusted a car’s lengt‘ .
XIII. Do not attempt to change a $20
bill for any one if you have only $9.25 with
you; it can’t he done.
XIV. If you want a nap, always lie with
your head projecting over the end of the
sent, into the aisle. Then everybody who
goes up and down the aisle will mash your
hat, straighten out your frizzle, and knock
off your back hair. This will keep you from
sleeping so soundly that you will be carried
by your statibn.~——Hmclrc;/e.
The Same Old Game.
The other afternoon the tools, implements,
fixtures, appurtenances and whatever else
belongsto the game of croquet, were put in
position on a lawn up “’codwnrd Avenue,
and as a young lady and a young man who
seemed to be her. lover, took up the mallets
to start the balls, :1 bony-looking old tramp
halted and leaned on the fence and got his
mouth puckered up for something good.
The young man took the first shot: and
before the ball ceased rolling, the girl’s voice
wns'heard calling,—
“You didn’t knock lain—you've got to try
it over 1”

she had occasion to remind him that he was
not playing with a blind person, and that she
could overlook no cheating. As she .went
under the last arch he felt compelled to re-
mark that her.playing would rule her out of
any club he ever heard of. On the way
back she asked him why he couldn’t be an
honest man as well as a jockey and a falsi—
fier, and he inquired why she didn’t write a
set of rules to tally with her style of playing.
“It’s ceming,——’taint five minutes off,’
chuckled the tramp, as he took a new grip
on the fence and shaded his eyes with his
hat. '.
“Don’t you knock that ball away!” shout-
ed the girl, a minute after.
“Yes I will!”
“Don’t you dare to.” '
, “I’m playing according to the rules.”
“No, you aren’t! You’ve cheated all the-
wny through 1”
uI never cheated once 1”
“And now you are adding the crime of
perjury! Sir, I dare not intrust my future
happiness to such a man! I could never

hurled her mallet at a stonedog.

“That‘s all I wanted to know,” sighed the

A stranger stopping at a Galveston hotel
happened to read the local mortuary report
and was very much surprised. Turning to a
“170 progressive citizen, who was sitting by
his side in the rotunda of the hotel, he said:
"You have the healthiest city in the United
You have a great advantage over
most cities.”
“That’s where you are fooling yourself,"
responded the progressive Galvestonian. “It
is the low death rate that is keeping the place
back.” , _
“Why how is that?"
“We need‘more first-class funerals to make
room for live men.”
