/ stated to me that you felt the necessity
of retiring from the Cabinet, and asked
me whether l would prefer your resig-
nation, so as to have your successor con-
tirmed by the Senate during the last ses-
sion, or whether would prefer in vaca-
tion. My answer was that would prefer
not having it at all. That was my feeling
at the time, and | now believe that you
have filed every public trust confided to
you with ability and integrity. | sin
cerely trust that the future will place
you right in the estimation of the public
and that you will continue to enjoy lis
confidence as you have done through so
many years of public and official lite.
With continued respect and friend
ship, subscribe myself, very truly your
obedIent servant. L. 5. GRANT.
To Hon. c. DeLano, Secretary Interior.
The Fall River Strike.
New YORK, September ga Herald
special from Fall River says the strike
promises to extend into the dreary
months of Winter. The mills were to
have been opened on the 9th inst. at
10 per cent reduction. The operatives
had determined to yield and go to work.
Now, however, the manufacturers de-
mand that every operative before he
goes to work must sign these conditions:
FIRST. That but one-eighth of the en-
ployes of any room shall give notice to
leave ut any one time, which notice shall
be written ten days in advance, and that
ten days shall so elapse between the no.
tice of every eighth from each depart
mcnt.
Second. That but one notice from any
mill or other room shall be sent at any
one date.
Third. That all the employees bind
themselves to separate from all organI'
zations that may attempt to interfere
with the hours of work or amount Of
wages.
Fourth. Any violations of these con
ditions to result in instant dismissal
from the mills Of Fall river.
The operatives are determined not to
sign the document. The spinners
weavers and carders are all alike
on this question. They regard
this movement of the manufacturers MS a
tactic it acknowledgement that they will
further reduce the wages of hel p within
two weeks from the time the men 90 in.
These conditions mean to place the men
beyond the means Of further resistance.
At the Border City mills about one half
OF the hands have signed, or at least the
ovcrsccrs say 40, and that they will surely
start on Monday. In other mills where
they employ 800 TO 1000 hands, not
more than 80 or 40 have signed,
which is insufficient to keep the smallest
mill at work. The programme deter
mined on to-day is as follows: They
will all 90 to the mills on Monday. They
will not 20 to work unless the owners
withdraw the agreement, nor can the
owners find enough hands to start. VI
any mill should start it is probable there
will be work for the GLACIERS
and perhaps for the police. In the after
noon grand mass meeting will be held
in the park, which will probably be at
tended by 10000 or $4,000 operatives
The object will be to appeal to the man
utacturCrS 10 Mt once withdraw this paper
and permit them 10 go in without any
terms other than those which have gov
crncd heretofore.
