the cause Of such general ard whole

On the contrary these people go

mulating nothing, too often growing
poorer, they have resolved to fall in
tc the tide westward and try to grow
up with the country like the people
of other nations. who are every dpy

The question as to whether they
will succeed is yet to be answered

severance will be their best friends
and 20 far toward giving them as
much success as any other people
who seek western homes, PflvatiOns

Vast numbers will await behind to

Ivory Cole. silvery haired farmer who
lives in Cornish. wears this winter a pair Of
mittens which without doubt are the oldest
pair in York county, and perhaps in the
State. The mittens are a mixture of red,
green and white yarn and were knit forty five
years ago BY Mrs. Joseph Pike, of Aroostook
county, while upon a visit to Mr.. Coles
home; the sheep from which the wool was
taken was BORN at the latter's home and
raised by him; the material was also carded
and spun there. Although the mittens have
been worn by their owner each winter since
they were made, they show but little the
effects of the wear and tear of time. The
mittens are lined with the skin of white cat

The executive board of the Knights Of La
Dor met Thursday with Messrs. Keene Bros.
of Lynn, Mass, and we're in consultation, il
is stated, for two hours on the labor troubles,
but no decision was arrived at. 1t is said
that the firm made q suggestion that the las
tiers at Skowhegan be brought to Lynn and
set to work in the Lynn factory, bat this the
Lynn Knights refused 10 listen to.
II is stated that the necessary paper.
for the application for boycott have
been made our to be forwarded tn Grand Mas
ter Workman Po~derly. but have MT been
sent vet II is thought that an answer could
be obtained by next Tuesday, and the board
adjourned to tina, day. The joint board Of
arbitration met Thursday afternoon and dis
cussed at great length the list of prices for
female .titchers. but we're unable 10 arrive At
any conclusion. The price. for bottom ia
ishers were not discussed at all.
The strike at Morgan's Dore's shoe fac
tories in Richmond, and in Lynn. Mass,
which has been in progress for more than q
year and half, Was settled Thursday night
in Richmond. Thi. strike originated with
the la.ters 10 the Richmond factory. When
the Lynn men heard Of it thew also quit
work, and since then the firm has carried on
no business in Lynn except that of cutting.
1t has manufactured hne shoes in its factory
at Prts6eld, n. H., and At the Richmond
factory has supplied the PLACES of the strikers
in measure with orkmen who had no con-
nection With labor organizations. The
Executive Board. ID. A. Sc. Knight. of
Labor of Maine, and Hr. E L. DAILY Of
Lynn, who Is secretary of the New England
Laster'' Protective Union, visited Morgan &
Dore's factory in Richmond and were in con-
ference with Mr. Dore from early in the az
ternoon until between 10 and IL O'Clock
Thursday night. Ii WAS finally agreed on
the part of both sides that the firm should
pay its workm.n throughout the factory the
same wage list as il paid in Gardiner, which
for lasting is about 20 per cent less, i, il.
said, than that paid in Lynn. and all the other
departments to be graded in proportion. The
firm agreed to discharge all men not belong
ing to unions, who mad been hired in the
places of the strikers. Mr.. Dore's request
that he might transfer his business from his
factory IN Pitrs6eld to the Lynn factory, y hich
is now idle, vas agreed to, and he Will put
this work into the Lynn shop.
