NEWSP-' THE TEN-HOUR RULE. The action of the Laurel mills on Oct. 1st to reduce the work day from il to 10 hours has created much excitement among mill men all over the pine belt of Mississippi- Hattiesburg mills are still contending for the 11- hour rule, but offer as a compromise 10 hours with 10 per cent. reduction in wages and a weekly pay day instead of fortnightly or'monthly pay days as heretofore. This will not improve the situation, for, while Laurel mills have made the work daylO-houra they pay the same wages as for 11 hours and pay them weekly ae heretofore under the 11-hour rule.
