FALL RIVER, MASS, oct. I2.-What
threatened to be a stormy meeting OF
spinuers this mCrling turned out TO be
a rousing demonstration Of confidence IN
IayOr OF Robert howard and the leaders
OF the Mule Spnners Union. After a
warm session yesterday, the executive
committee decided 10 make two recon-.
pendations TO the general meeting 10 oe
held to-day The first was that the prop
osition OK the manufacturers should be
adopted, as follows.
That the spinners return to work under
reduced schedule II the margin holds
at Soc, as at present, for sixty days, the
other five viii be restored. II II de-
clines b. Csc, or below, the per cent.
viii be increased to 10 per cent. re-
ductlon.
THE 'oPPosITI)E.
The second recommendation was that
IL 1t was voted to return TO work Mon
day morning the members should receive
one weeks strike pay because 1t would
be ten days or more after Monday De-
fore they would receive any wages
After the meeting had heard the report
of the executive committee opposition was
manifested, because the margin of Soc.
was too high, and because no one but
the spinners was granted concession.
Secretary Howard took the floor, and be-
gan an address to the spinners. lie re-
called to their mind that winter was ap-
preaching and that the propOsitiOn that
WtItt outttu were DldQe dIltF all means
had failed 10 secure better terms. lie
expressed regret that me weayers and
Carders were not treated fairly by the
manufacturers and said they had made
long, protracted, heroic and noble fight,
and they deserved recognition.
HOWARD SUSTAINED.
He said the fact that the manufacturers
had offered the spinners a compromise
while they were still in the street was
the greatest victory ever won by the
Spinners' Union. While Il was not all
that the committee wanted, 1t was all
that they could get and i'm keeping with
his regular policy, he would say TO the
men: Take half a loaf If you can't get
whole one."
You have brothers and sisters and
mothers said he, and will you see them
starye when something is offered TO you?"
rms exclamation broke down all opposi-
ton and Howard sat down amid the
cheers Of the excited men. The two prop
osltlons, recommended by the committee
were adopted.
Inc result Of the meeting is hailed with
ueHsnt In the city, but there is still a
great dead Of indignation expressed be-
cause all OF the employees have not been
treated alike

SENTENCES ON CRIMINALS.
A Would-Be Jail-Breaker Gets
Fifteen Years,

Judge Daingerfield passed sentence yes
terday of fifteen years Imprisonment in
San Quentin upon Griffith Hughes, con-
victed of burglary. There were two prior
convictions against Hughes, added to
which was his attempt to break Jail. The
Judge, in passing sentence, said he did not
think the case was one in which leniency
should be shown.
The case of Herman Muller, also con-
yicted of burglary, was a peculiar one.
Muller, who is but a boy. was sentenced
10 one years Imprisonment for burglary
some time ago. He had already served
his sentence, when the SUPREME Court
granted him a new trial, which, of course.
was never held. Muller, the other day,
nleaded guilty. to another charge of
burglary and Judge Daiugerfeld, In lass
ing sentence, said that his previous con-
yictfon must count against him. lie must

SEATTLE, WASH, April lG.-Despite
the statement of the officials that the
strike OF tho Great Northern does not
extend further east than Minot, n. D.,
the leaders hore say that tho claims OF
James Hogan, that the whole system is
tied up are correct. Rumors are atloat
among the strikers, and are also heard
among the Great Northern officials that
the Northern Pacific is to be tied up
Tuesday, and before next week every
road west Of tho Missouri river, with
the possible exception 'ot the Union
Pacific, will receive tho same fate.
Word was received from Hogan at Butte
that Superintendent Currier, OF the
Montana Central, had started in q bug
gy from Helena TO Great Fall, a dis
lance OF 100 miles. Flo also instructed
Secretary Adams, Of tho local lodge to
furnish mon to protect the company's
property here, if necessary, and Adams
made tho offer to Superintendent Cope
land. Of the great lines, but no diaor-
der is feared.
Tho mail car OF tho South Westminster
and Vancouver train was brought out
this morning to leave at Oil, but the
officials refused to let 1t 90 without the
passenger cars, and i. was loft on the
track. The strikers then took out the
Canadian Pacific cars which run on this
train and transferred them TO tho
Seattle. Lake Shore Il Eastern lrackg
over which they went to Sumas, cou.
Meeting there with the Canadian Pacific.
The strikers have n kindly feeling fer
the Pacific, because it formerly sub
mitted 4 dispute to arbitration OF its
own engineers, and when the Grea.
Northern car cleaners wages wore re.
duced to 81 per day and they struck
last March, the Canadian Pacific hired
two OF them at s. day to clean its cars
running on the coast lines. No trains
OF any kind have left Seattle to-day over
the Great Northern.

BRITISH MINERS


Don't Like tho New Cutting Machines.
Oppose Their Introduction.
LONDON, April lG.-Dri.ish miners are
just now disturbed by the rumorcd i'll
tention OF tho Coal Masters Associa-
ton to introduce coal cutting machin-
cry on n large scale. Tho men regard
tho scheme with great suspicion, fear.
Its effects will be to reduce wages and
decrease tho number OF men employed.
They also prefer to use their beloved
pick, rs their forciathors used 1t, and
work in the way they aro accustomed
to. wen though 1t be, as roformerS say,
q constrained and unnatural method.
Inventors state that British coal mas.
ters. as well as Golfers, are difficult to
convert in this matter. Coal cutting
machines arc being cent to all parts OF
tho world, and the foreign demand ex.
ceeds the ability to supply, but very few
are in use in this country, although
they reduce the cost Of getting the coal
one to three shillings u ton compared to
the %handpick. The latest machines
combine compressed air snd electrical
principles, and each cuts one yard per
minute in medium hard coal.
