New England Cotton Manufacturers Or ganizing Against the Knights of Labor. BOSTON, April 28.-Tho Commer cial Bulletin of Saturday morning will say: Tho sudden and and un expected collapse of what was thought to bo a serious strike at Wbittenton Mills, Taunton, was caused by tito discovery that the mill belonged to a huge organiza tion of textile industries of New langland, which lias been formed so quietly that it has escaped all notice. This organization extends over Rhode Island and Connecti cut, and already includes li) large woolen mills, with such cotton mills a< tito Lonsdale and Hope mills. This society was organized jor mutual protection. It duos not recognize tho authority or dicta tion of Hie Knight- ot' Labor in any way, luit is prepared lo use arbi tration in thc settlement ofistrikes. The organization is growing in numbers and it proposes to give each strike careful consideration and assist only those manufactur ers who are unfairly (rented by their help. A second society, em bracing all the cotton mills nf any importance in Maine, New Hamp shire ami Massachusetts, wan qui etly completed and elected Its ofll cers in Boston on Wednesday. The Massachusetts League is a league of cotton mills to which woolen mills are to be admitted, while thc Rhode Island society was! formed by tho woolen mills and subsequently admitted cotton man ufacturers. During the last month the cotton mills ol* this State have been quietly preparing lor organi zing for mutual insurance against labor disturbances. The cotton manufacturing Industry is bid ter adapted for I lie formation ot" such an organization than many others because it ls composed of a number of large mills, rather than a large number of small ones. The quio! organization which has taken place, tb ore fore, has been conducted with much expedition, and its result will probably bo witnessed ?tl the next iUtomp of mill bunds to se cure tlie discharge of workmen who aro not members of the union. Tho Ontiro woolen as well as tho entire cotton interest of three states will be included. The society luis taken the form of a mutual insurance company, organized on a basis of the res pective pny mils of Rs members. Tlie society is not a corporation, and bas no stock. The yearly pay rolls of the Massachusetts mills that have already joined, amount to $15,000,000. Plain cotton, colored cotton prints and ginghams tire all rop sented in the list of members, and every lending cotton mill in tlie State has already joined. The aims of tlie society aro not in any sen?'? aggros-Ive, and Its purpose is not to ut tact the Knights of Labor, but simply to protect its members against unjust persecution. The mid boil of sel?-defence which the society will employ has not yet boen made public. -In the analysis of fertilizers published by tho Department] of Agriculture, so far, the following brands are reported to be below tlie guarantee in one or mere Ingre dients: Crescent Hone Fertilizer, sampled at Butosburg; Diamond Bone, sampled at Oreen ville; Etl wan Dissolved Bono, sampled at Newberry, lime's Alkaline (?na no, sampled at Batosbltrgj Middle ton's Acid Phosphate, sampled at Abbeville.
