REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Meeting Of the Spinners OF Fall River to
Consider the Proposed Cut.DOwn.

FALL RIVER, Jan. 26.
The spinners held long and largely at
tended meeting tonight to consider the pro-
posed cut-down. 1t was voted to authorize a
grant of 500 from the funds of the National
Mule Spinners' Association, to the spipners
on a strike at the Grinnell mill. New Bedford
The following resolutions were adopted. and
the meetiog adjourned to Thursday next:
Whereas, Notice having been posted in
the mills stating that on and after Feb. 4th
a reduction of about ten per cent will be made
in our wages, and knowing from experience
that the only real and practical remedy from
the glutted market lies in cutting the produc-
ton,
Therefore, Be it resolved that our secre-
with the secretary of the Manufacturers
Board of Trade, requesting that three -fourths
of the time be run by the mills until an i'm
provement is visible in the market instead of
reducing the wages.
Resolved. That if the Manufacturers
Boar1 of Trade refuse to listen to our pro-
posal for reduction of running time and
insist upon the reduction of wages of ten per
cent, taking into consideration also that we
were reduced ten per cent in our. wages in
1880, that think il expedient to strike
work, painfully conscious as we are of the
bitterness of feeling created between the en-
ployers and ourselves, and the suffering sure
to be occasioned by such a course; but we
resort to it as the last alternate against indus
trial serfdom.
Resolved, That the secretary be author
lied to prepare ballots for the next meeting
so that the same can be voted upon.

The interests of humanity seem to demand
the publications of the following facts: Two
months ago NV attention was called to the
case of poor woman who was said to be
afflicted with a cancer. l found her with an
ulser on her shoulder, at least five inches in
circumference, angry. painful, and giving
the patient no rest day or night for
six months l obtained a supply of
Swift's Specific, which persuaded her to
try. She has taken five bottles, the result OF
wi ich is that the ulcer is entirely healed up,
nothing remaining but small scab, not
larger than ones finger nail, and her general
health is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured.
An old man of sixty-seven years has been
subject to scrofulous sores five years. He
had one on his cheek as large as silver
dollar, swollen, raw and constantly exuding
very offensive matter. Another on his foot
of the same character, and several on his
hands, all of about two and half years
standing. His general health was poor. and
he could scarcely get about at all. He has
taken two bottles of Swift's Specific. The
sores are all well, leaving scarcely vestige
of their former existence. and his general
health better than it has been in ten years. |

in the Senate by Mr.. Hale and passed. As
passed by the House, and upon the i'd
vice of Mr.. Randall. the cost of the ex-
petition was left to the discretion of the
President. Senator Ingalls, objected
strongly to this feature of the resolution.

cost to 81 zoo. 200. Mr.. Hale explained
that il was impossible to estimate the ex-
pcnse of the proposed expedition. but he
thought Il would not be more than $780,

at this figure. The vote on placing the
sum At $5oo.ooo was a tie--22 yeas to ss
many nays-and the amendment was
therefore lost. Mr.. Brown proposed to
put the limit at 5000. 900. and was beaten.
Then Mr.. Maxey proposed 800. 900. aad
that was beaten. Messrs. Ingalls, and Van

The woman Was alive at last accounts. She
was Coombs third wife and was considered

Some features in her history and the

gle. or from an attempt at suicide.
