THIRD EDITION,
the Great Fall River strike.

FALL RIVER, Feb. 5.-Everything
was quiet and orderly here to-day, and
thus far nothing has occurred in the
way of q sensation, There Is a feeling
brewing among other classes OF opera
tives besides the spinners which bodies
no good to some OF the mills. II it de-
velOpes 1t will compel their complete
cessation until the tide turns one way
or the other. The buck-boys and spin
ners struck work in the two Durfee
mills to-day, and assert that they vii
not return until the wages are restored.
This makes sixteen mills which have
felt the effect Of the present strike.
In anticipation of serious results from
the strike special orders have been
given the police to be in readiness at any
moment. They are now Obliged to
wear their uniform at all hours, even
when not on duty, The neil who go
ON duty ats o'clock, remain until ,,
returning to the station, remaining
there until 6, at which time they are
detailed for duty in the vicinity of the
mills, where trouble is anticipated.
The use of the police for this purpose is
wholly uncalled for, and causes much
comment. The spinners are indignant.
The appearance of the police at the
mill gates this morning led to much
hooting and jeeriDg For some time a
collision between the officers and people
was imminent but the police finally
succeeded in dispensing the crowd. The
matter of police interference will be in
vestigated by the committee having the
strike in charge, and committee will
be appointed to wait upon the Mayor to
demonstrate against it. The Board of
Trade will probably not meet again
next week. A prominent mill official
said today :" As long as we 60 on in
this way, the spinners can sustain their
strike. They have struck in some of the
poorest paid mills in the city, and in
some of the best paid arc at work
which will keep them going. The only
way to treat them is TO shut down all
the mills, and show them what we can
do"

PARIS, Feb. 5.-Citizeu Dumay, who
visited the recent exhibition AT Boston,
gave an account Of his obscrvalVLs in
America, yesterday, to a meeting Of
mechanics. He said that although the
workmen were better paid, they were
not better off than French artisans. He
asserted that French machine work
was better than American, for the rca-
son that it was not so rapid. French,
men were freer to come and 70 from
shop to shop than American shops. 1t
was not an unusual thing for American
shops to forbid the employment OF trade
unioniSts, and this was violation OF
per ,Onal liberty.
