XeaVefs Yield Under Protest Through
Lack Of Funds.
FALL RIVER. Mass, March %.

FALL RIVER. Mass, March %.
The weavers' strike is over. Tomorrow
morning il is expected, so far as the weAvers
are concerned. that every loom in the city
will be in operation. The decision or the
mass meeting of this morning seems gener-
ally satisfactory 1t is a surprise 10 every
body, as the executive committee kept their
IL t, Ltions very secret Up TO noon yester-
day the committee were hopeful.
Remittsnces were expected from out of
town this afternoon but failed 10 arrive. then
came an unexpected rush for aid. At noon
the relief fund amounted to several hundred
dollars, which was quickly exhausted When
the funds were nearly exhausted the execu-
tive officers announced that no more relief
would be granted that day. At a secret
meeting held, committee was appointed TO
wait on Rev. John Brown Of Westminster
Presbyterian church to ask advice and coop
Grafton. Brown counseled an end of the
strike. The committee advised the strikers
TO return To WORK under protest, aud submit
the case 10 the State board of arSitaation.
The mass meeting was not at first inclined TO
accept the recommendation. After eXplsna-
tons from Rev. Mr.. Brown and IN, mbers
of the executive committee the wesyers
voted to return 10 work tomorrow,
Business men received the news with satis-
faction aud the manufacturers are sgreeably
surprised. Ii is generally conceded that the
action of the executive committee is good
strategic action, as by giving IN nos while
they have public sympathy they will be in
position TO make further move later. AT
the beginning of the strike the loom fIers
of the Border City mills were discharged for
refusing to run looms. This afternoon the
weayers at the mill decided TO stay out till
the loom hxers were taken back.
