TIE WEAvEKS' STRIKE.
Dobsons Says the Men Cannot Weave and
Hire Foreign Labor.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. June 2G.-The
special agent appointed by Secretary
Foster to inquire into the recent strike
at the John and James DObSOn's mills
mas made his report. Ii is a lengthy
one and embraces both sides Of the
story. He does not recommend what
sort of action shall be taken but from
the testimony presented it looks as if
the matter will be taken into court.
John and james DObSOn are charged by
their former employees of importing con-
tract labor. This is not denied by the
DobSOns. as they claim il was neceS-
sity as the work could not be
done by the wcavcrs in this country.
The trouble grew out of 4 strike. The
strikers said the DObSOnS were getting
foreigners TO take their places at re-
duced prices. Dobsons claim that the
weavcrS were incompetent and could
not weave velvet. On the other side
the weavers contend that they could,
and a number OF them testified before
the special agent that this kind Of work
they learned in England. They also
testified that the proper material was
mot furnished them and that the loom
flXerS were uuSkilled in this branch of
weaving, and the poor work done was
attributed 10 these causes.

CIevelands Approaching JOY.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Juoe ga
New York letter to the Philadelphia
Press says: In the best social circles
here there has been whispered for q
few days a little hint which has alb
sorbed all interest ia other topics.
Never have the charms and popularity
OF the fair bride whom Grover Cleve-
land won, but whom the nation regards
as theirs, been so apparent. This hint
Is one that women tell among them
selves with that quiet and delicious JOY
that the suggestion Of coming maternity
always creates, and it is for honor
and richer crown Of happiness than
ever his great Office brought him, that
the most cordial sympathy and tender
though yet tacit congratulations are
extended TO this woOer and winner of
one of the faireSt and most gracious of
women.
