The shut down of the King Philip and
American linen mills at Fall River, Mass,
has added over 1000 to the number OF idle
operatives there. About 4 900 strikers held
a mass meeting and were addressed by the
same speakers as at previous meetings. The

could return in a body. Nothing was said

At the business conference of the National
Farmers alliance at Des Moines, Iowa, the

the January session was adopted. and in
every state and territory the alliance will
organize stock companies for the sale OF
farm proauct and purchase of machinery and
supplies direct from manufacturers. In re-
lation to the binding Irvine matter the fol-
lowing was adopted: In vie of the tact
that the prices Of binding Irvine have adj
vanced almost beyond profitable use, through
the manipulations of Spectators, who have
corpered the entire sisal and MANILA fibre,
we would recommend to farmers that every
expedient be resorted to for the purpose Of
meeting the emergency by cutting off the
use of Irvine if possible; and we recommend
changing binders into harvesters, or chang
ing into headers, which can be done at small
cost; also to cut and stack loose; and we
recommend %curtailing the small grain crop
wherever the results of late years have been
of but doubtful profit.
