END PROBABLY NEAR.
VALLEY STREET MILL STRIKERS
OFFER COMPROMISE.
VIII Submit to . Reduction of Eleven
Per Cent-Empioyes OF riverside and
weybosset Make Propositions.

Steps have at last been taken by the
leaders of the operatives which are likely
to bring to an end the struggle between
employer and employed which has been
going on in Olneyvllle for the last seven
weeks.
Last Saturday deputation OF the
workers at the Valley street mills met
Mr.. Fletcher at the Office OF the mill and
put before him what they believed would
be q fair basis upon which settlement
might be effected. The proposition was the
same as that offered the Saxon mill, that
loom fixers be paid 81. 25 per day; dresser
tenders, s2 per day; that those employed
in the dye house, finishing and other
departments be reduced only 5 per cent.
aud all persons receiving less
than OIL per day be exempt from
the reduction. With regard to the
price to be paid In the weaving depart
ment the operatives ask that the proposed
reduction may be lessened by 10H per cent.
which would bring the reduction at the
Fletcher mill to about IL per cent. sim
liar to that at the Saxon mills.
The weavers say that this difference
arises from the fact that the classes Of
goods manufactured at the two mills vary
and. d.theretore the price paid ought TO vary
also.
A committee has been appointed to
meet Mr.. King OF the Riverside mills,
and Taft g. Weeden today. when the
same proposition will be made with a
slight variation In the weaving depart
ment. especially in the case OF Taft g.
Weeden. where the weavers claim that a
greater difference exists in the number Of
harnesses and number Of shuttles ussd.
The differences now existing between
the two sides are so slight that this
morning the feeling is general in Olney-
Vile that the deplorsble struggle will be
brought TO an amicsble and satisfactory
termination in very few days.
