EASTERN MILLS ARE CLOSING.

PORTLAND, Me, July 2O-At a directors
meeting today II was decided TO shut down
the mills Of the WeStbrOOk Manufacturing
Company. makers Of ginghams from July
Is until September 4. The monthly pay
roll is 10000.
MuroN MuLs, n. H., July 2O.-The
agent of the Waumbeck Company has
issued orders for closing the mills here for
three mouths as soon as the goods now in
process Of manufacture are finished. The
reason assigned for this action is lack OF
orders, except at ruinOus prices.
NEW YoRK, July 20.-The ErGntng Post
saws the eject of the proposed closing OF
the large Am0skeag cotton plant, In Man
chester, n. H., during the mouth OF August
has been generally Overesumated. This,
an all events, is the view OF many OF the
leading cotton merchants Of this city. 1t IS
regarded as probable that many other mills
In New England, such as the Manchester
mills. the Pembroke, Webster and China
mills. and the New York Manufacturing
company of Saco will shut down, but never
theless the situation Is not con-
sidered an alarming one by the New
York merchants II the mills had not 10
close down now, they would probably have
had TO do so in December when it would
have been much more serious matter Tor
the operatives.
BppEFoRD, ME., July 20.-Number

of cotton goods is manufactured. WILL smut

ductlon Of working forces Of coal mines,
railways and manufactures in this
State, because Of the reduction in the
price Of silver, has caused deplorable
condition OF affairs among the laboring
class. IL is estimated there are 10000
men Ia Denver to-day unable 70 secure
employment. There are 1000 in the
surrounding towns in the same eondi-
tiOn. They are making their way
here, where they will become
public charges II things don't
speedily change. In order TO
avoid this ali the commercial bodies
in this city will meet with representa-
tIVes Of Eastern roads this evening, and
the latter win be asked to make S5
rate from here TO the Missouri river for
this class Of people. 1t Is argued that
these men are not paupers, but if they
can get into the agricultural districts
they can secure employment In the
harvest fields, where men will soon be
ia demand. The Typographical Union
at a meeting last night appropriated
81 600 for the purpose OF sending unem-
p.Oyed men TO their homes In the East.
A conservative estimate OF the men
discharged by railways, mines. business
houses and factories since the silver
panic started, places the ndmber at
FROM Il, 600 TO $4,000.
IL is also estimated that Colorado,
Utah, Montana and New Mexico mer-
chants have countermanded orders on
New York wholesale houses for goods
during this time amounting to over
SD. 600. 900.

A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 20.--A very i'm
portant decision was handed down by the
Supreme Court to-day which has wide
bearing on labor and capital alike. IL is
the case OF the Bohn Manufacturing Com
pany Of this city VS. w. G. Hollis et al,
representing the Northwestern Lumber
mans Association.
This case excited a great deal OF interest
few months ago when il nrst came up.
The Bohn Manufacturing Company was
member Of the association and the consti-
tuition provides that no wholesale dealer
shall sell goods az any place at less prices
than retail dealers.
The Bohn Manufacturing company was
accused OF violating the agreement, was
notified by the secretary that q circular
would be sent to all members notifying
them OF the fact The Bohn company SER
we'd an Injunction on Secretary Hollis on
the ground that its business would DC SER
iously injured by such action.
The lower court sustained the plea aud
granted a permanent INDUCTION against the
boycott. The order OF the lower court
was reversed in to-day's decision, for the
reason that the Bohn company, being a
member of the association, should con-
form to its rules, aud hence had no ground
for any injunction.
The Supreme Court holds that any man,
unless under contract obligation, or unless
his employment charges him with some
public duty, has right TO refuse TO work
for or deal with any man or class OF men
be sees fit, and this right, which one man
may exercise singly, any number OF men
may exercise jointly.
This is the age Of associations and la
Dor unions" said Judge Mitchell. "Con-
fined to their proper limits they are not
only lawful, but laudaole. Carried be-
yond these limits they are liable TO become
dangerous agencies for wrong and oppres-
sion.
Beyond what limits these combinations
cannot 90 without interfering with the le-
gal rights of others. is the problem which
the courts will doubtless pc frequently
called IN mass unOn "

CHICAGO, Jnly 2O.-All doubts that
the big Corbett-Mitehell fight will be
fought under the auspices OF the Colum-
bian Athletic Club have been removed
by the receipt of the following cable
gram:
LONDON, July 20, 1895.
O'MdusL Columbian Club, Chicago:
Mitchell signed articles which shall for
ward at once. and will not listen TO offers
from other clubs, Forfeit in my hands.
ATKINSON, Sporting Life.
Immediately on receipt Of the above
O'Malley wired the following to Judge
Newton, the matchmaker Of the Coney
Island Club:
CHICAGO, July 20.
To Judge RV B. NstutOn, COney IsIdnd,N. T.:
On behalf of Columbian Club l tender
you the courtesy of our club for Coroett-
Mitchell fight Humbly yours,
DoMINICK c. O'MALLEY, President.
Never in the history of the prize ring
has there been so much interest taFen
as b0eT6 has Ueeu III lulS lhNoA
contest. Never has there been purse
offered and possibly never will there
again as large as the one hung up by
this young club for Charles Mitchell,
the champion pugilist Of England, and
James j. Corbett, the undisputed cham
pion OF America The discussion rela-
tive TO the merits of those two
men seems pretty evenly divided.
Some on account of patriotism, wishing
Co rbett to win, others ou account OF
their unhdden feeling wishing for
Mitchell to win. in order TO be re-
venged for the defeat Of their pugliis-
tic idol, John L. Sullivan.
This is the line that experts will
draw on those two men, one side say
ing Corbett is taller, more active and
younger than his adversary, while
others will contend that Mitchell
weighs just as much, is as clever, II
not more so than Corbett, besides is
his master in ring tactics.
