.'Prefers Sudden Death"


would have this done gradually No,
prefer sudden death. The soone reac-
tion sets in the better am certain that
the industrial interest Of the capitalist
and of the laborer would be best carried
out by following the Chicago platform.
While believe the prosperity Of the coun-
try depends on protecting manufacturers,
still it is vastly more important that there
should be no anita gonism between labor
and capital.
1.-THE country has been led to believe
that protection is robbery. l for one am
not willing to reap any benefits from any
species of robbery. II the tariff is robbery
in the opinion of the American people, let
it be abolished and labor and capital and
all industries live together In peace, each
satisfied with the other. Any economical
advantages the country may derive from
protection are dearly bought IL one
class Is set against another.
IF there Is one robber baron left at the
end of the next session of congress 1t will
not be possible for the Democratic party
to put the blame on any one else. For this

MARIE jansen ROBBED.
Shs Lost AL Her Diamonds and
Valuable Plrs.
STOLEN WHILE AT TIE PLAY


II "a familiar trek of the sbrew the
atrical sdsert!sing agent to spread bread
cast fumors that his leading lady has
been roboed, but in the majority OF cases
these reports are without foundation.
However, there seems TO be boua-n nde
case cf Wholesale robbery in this city III
which Marie Jansen, who Is filling short
engagement at the Providence Opera
house. Is the sufferer. Such Is the opinion
OF Detective Parker and he ID busily Gu
gared in working on the case.
Some time last evening, while Miss jan
sen was at the tbeatef, scuie one went %
room 63 at the Natragausett hotei, where
she il stepping, ana picking the lock, en-
tered the room.
Miss Jansen's trunk stood In cue corner
OF the room, and the thief boldly forced
open the I'D and exposed
the contents to view. EVIL
IDENTIFY the rcbber was well
acquainted with his work, for, wasting
no time on the other article contained III
the trunk, he dove TO the bottom and un-
eartbed a box containg the
greater part OF Miss Jansen's jewelry.
The box was filed with diamond rings,
brooches and handsome gems, valued az
about S260o. A quantity OF silks, furs and
silverware were also taken, the tota;
amount being estimated at about $1,000.
Miss Jansen discovered the robbery on
her return from the theater and at once
communicated with Detective Parker. The
official is OF the opinion that the work
was done by au old hand aud Is now busy
in chasing up a clue.

Typical Examples in the Homes.

Here are some typical household expert
enccs In addition 10 those previously cit
ed. II must bc remembered that most OF
these families were frugal and not Il few
OF them had a little fluid at the beginning
of the strike. For many reasons names
are not mentioned.
In the row OF Atlantic mills cottages
there Is family man, wife and two
children. Tho wife is the only one who
can find work. She earns about $3.50 q
week; S1.12 week is deducted for the
rent. The family is not eligible to the
relief fund because one member has work.
They subsist OH J:,.3S a week.
Here Is a family with eight children.
Three OF the girls work in tho mill. The
father ekes out a living selling rugs, can
wasting them from house 10 house. They
arc not eligible 10 the relief fund and are
having hard time OF it.
Here IL q family where there arc seven
young children. They have received help
from the relief fund, first $500 q week, but
later their allotment was reduced TO $500
and then 20 800 week.
A family OF Germans, three daughters,
an old msu and baby, are not eligible to
the relief fund because the old man does
small tailoring in his house. Their supper
last evening comprised about thirteen
cents worth OF bread and milk. There
was, however, scnming cheer in two bot
ties OF beer that must have cost ten cents
apiece.
One woman, with family OF three
children, explained how the relief fund
was handled. These vino are eligible call
at the meeting place for 1t every Tuesday.
They are warned not TO indulge in fresh
meat or other luxurios. by the follow
ing Sunday little is left in the larder but
bread and butter. by Monday there is
only dry bread to cat.

1t must be recalled that for eleven
weeks before the strike the Riverside
mills were running only three days a
week. The employees were behind to
landlord, tradesmen and boarding mis-
tresses before their wages were cut off
entirely.
Today this is about the condition of
things. Rents are behind from three to
six months. Grocers, marketmen and
coal dealers have got all the charges on
their books they can carry and they are
all spoken OF in the kindest way by the
strikers. They have been most generous.
Lodgers are in debt TO their boarding mis-
tress from ten to twenty weeks and board
ing mistresses are deeply in debt to those
who have afforded them supplies.
One little boarding house on Delaine
street has five boarders. Two are strikers
and three were out Of work before the
strike begun. Two OF these alone owe
their landlady $50 apiece.
Another on the same street has six out
of ten boarders out OF work. One OF these
owes board for twenty weeks. The land
lady is carrying an indebtedness OF about
$50, and she is not capitalist.
Another in the Atlantic mills house is
carrying five men boarders, and has car
ried them for ten weeks. At the outset of
the strike she did not owe cent in the
world. Now she owes over 200.
The boarders in the mill boarding
house proper are all square, as they are
ali at work and their board is deducted
from their pay and turned over To the
landlady.
The loyalty and confidence of these
landladics is something admirable. No
boardcr has been turned away though
some of them have left for other parts
where work was to be had. The
landladies, with marvellous devotion,
have lodged aud fed these men, trusting
to settlement OF the trouble and a re-
ward for their unsclilsh fsithfulncss when
wages are earned again and times are good
once more.

two children, $3.50; three children,
$500, and for special exigences
as high ms Si.00 or $3.50 has been paid.
This pIeu, however, has been subject to
such variation as the condition OF the
fund aud the judgment OF the relief com
mittee has influenced il. Some 5000 has
beea collected and il has had
TO be jealpusly nGrsed. "A
good deal OF fault has been
found with the committee. They are
charged with discrimination and unfair
Judgment. but the general opinion is that
they have done the best possible accord
ing to their lights. Ii one member OF
family gets occupation the relief allot-
ment Is cut OF. This has frequently
worked hardship. For examplea l3-year-
old boy in family of seyen secured a lit
tie work in one OF the mills covering severa.
weeks. His home was a mill tenement,
and as the wage Garner OF the family the
rent was deducted from his earnings. The
relief fund OF $500 week was cut off, but
the boy was only able to turn in is, 10 or
20cents week TO support the family, and
last week actually owed a similar sum to
the mill for balance OF the weekly install
ment OF the rent which he had failed TO
earn.
A similar case was that OF a man who
got job washing windows at the mill
which turned in y. 90 or $500. His family Of
five has had nothing from the relief fund
since.
The relief fund is not paid in cash. but
cheeks are given on such tradesmen as are
preferred, the striker making purchases
to the amount OF the check. During the
cold snap the fund has been able to sup
ply two baskets OF coal and one OF wood
/ every other week. There is no fund to
supply clothing and the children's shoes.

Five thousand skilled and unskilled
workers are idle at OlneyviIle. Nine big
mills are closed. Dependent upon the
five thousand workers are at least ten
thousand women, children and infirm
men. The total population of
the district which presents this
pitiable condition is hardly
over % 900. The fifteen thousand idle and
helpless are being supported by the 1900
balance of the population and by such
outside assistance as may be secured.
This state of affairs has existed for ten
weeks. 1t has nearly reached its limit.
Today completes the tenth week of the
strike. Two mills in Olneyvillc, the big
Atlantic Delaine and the little Saxon, are
running. The greater part of the employ
ers of the other mills will enter upon the
eleventh week OF their strike STEPPED in
debt, impoverished and holding their
homes only by charity.

Mr.. Fletcher would do just so soon as the
other manufacturers were ready 10 come
into line. Mr.. Fletcher's mills, by the way,
employ no fast loom wenvers.
The incident OF the Fletcher mills has
created controversy more heated than
the original cause OF the strike itself. Mr..
Fletcher has been accused OF bad faith in
making proposion and afterwards
going back On IL to wait for the other
miiis. MIR. Fletcher has said nothing, but
those who know him believe firmly that
he acted in good faith. A prominent man
In the strike district expresses this view OF
il:
"lf Howard OF Fall River had been at
the head OF this strike the Fletcher mills
would be running now," he declared
empbatically. IL don't know anything
about the question OF bad faith,
but do know that Mr.. Fletcher had
his gates open and that it took the
strikers committee three working days To
decide whether they would accept his
proposition or decline it. The leaders OF
the strike ought TO have settled IL inside
OF twelve hours"
:" Just what is the trouble" was asked.
III lay II TO one thing-the strikers COM
mittee Is too big. Just think OF it! A
council of 81 meni Every time there is
anything to be done these 54 men have 10
be called together to discuss it. McGuy
hasn't backbone enough TO boss them and
good many OF them don't themselves
know what they want; or are capable OF
discussing the questions that came up.
The weavers who know just what they are
about are only small portion OF the COM
mittee. Every department is represented
and they have made mess of it. IL tn ~
were going TO accept the Fletcher pro-
position they ought TO have done
it quick. Bat it took them
two days to get together, and j un-
derstand the whole question was threat
ened by discussion on the wages OF seven
drawing-in hands, or some such factor OF
no earthly account. Think OF 5000 people
hanging On that and II Fletcher's had
started up every mill would be ruuning
this week"

sketch of the Strike.

The great strike was originally due 10 a
proposed reduction at the Taft e Wecden
(Weybosset) mills. Stripped of its less
consequential items the bone OF conten-
tion in this reduction was the discrimi-
nation between the prices paid for fast
loom and slow loom work and
the absence aof any arbitrary
standard of picks which should distin-
guish fast from a slow loom. The fast
loom workers number 1e3, % OF whom are
in the Riverside mills and the balance in
the Weybosset. IL was proposed TO make
a difference OF cent yard between fast
and slow loom work. The wcaycrs con-
tended, first, that while the fast loom
might turn out more cloth, the
work was more taxing aud should
command the Same price as the slow loom
weavers got; second, that many OF what
the manufacturers classcd as fast looms
should be cas5od as slow looms-nameIy,
that looms running so and SO picks q min
ute should not be rated az fast looms.
These included many old looms that had
been made over to run tSpicks instead of
60 picks. II
1t is not the turpon' OF this article TO
enter into discussion OF the merits OF the
question involved, but only TO state facts.
The strikers, working through their COM
mittee, have failed 20 come 30 an agree
ment with the mawnfncturers. Last week
the first indication oi a break came from
Mr.. Charles Fletcher, whose six
big mills employ fully 300 people
MIR. Fletcher made proposition,
on Thursday anerroop.ok last week. 1t
took the executive Committee Of the
strikers until Saturday to consider tk
proposition and then they adjourned the
meeting until Monday for futhcr consider

cept Mr.. Flttchcr's proposition,
only TO learn that il was put
