It is palpably plain that the only way under the present condi- tions by which this reserve, so danger ously depleted, can be replenished, is through the issue and sale of the bonds of the government for gold. And yet congrest has not only so far declined to the issue of bonds, as best suit this purpose, but seems diposed, in some quarters, to deny both the neoes- sary and the power for issue of bonds at | all.

FALL RIVER SPlkNERS
Feel That New Bedford Strikers Have Not
Treated Them Right.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. S.-The mill
men of the city held a meeting, today, and
considered the situation. As result a
proposition will be submitted to meeting
of manufacturers to he called some day this
week. group of mill men said the meet.
ing had considered the proposition that the
operatives return to work for 60 days under
the reduced schedule, the old schedule to
be restored later if business conditions war
rant.
Speculation is at fever heat, tonight,
owing to the action taken by the New Bed
ford operatives in accepting ) per
cent. reduction in wages. Secretaries
How ard and Ross left for New York, to-
night, but before leaving the former did
not hesitate to express his disapprovsl of
the methods taken to fettle the trouble in
tie neighboring city. According to his
statement it was understood that the most
the New Bedford 81 inners would do would
be to accept the same terms
offered by the spinners in this
city which was to return under five per
cent reduction with promise that the
other five per cent. if the margin held
above IS cents for two weeks. In New
Bedford the spinner's union gave its COM
mittee discretionary power TO settle the
trouble as best they could which is some
tiog unheard of in trades unions here.
This action places the Fall River spinners
in bad light as they have been asking
for full restoration of wages
since the market was cleaned out of goods.
This sudden compromise puts at rest the
theory that the New Bedford and Fall
p;vor N, mn faptureYa were uork n o together

happen. Tonight the city government made

pauper account, which has been largely
drawn upon by strikers.

EIGHT WEEKS STRUGGLE
At New Bedford Practically Ended in
Compromise.
Fall River Prices 10 Prevail and Operatives
Delighted 10 Get Work.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Oct. S.-The big
gest strike that New Bedford ever had is
practically ended. The strike has lasted
eight weeks and during that time much
more suffering has been endured by the
idle operatives than will ever be known.
rhe mills will start their machinery on
Thursday morning and the operatives will
flock into the gates in a happy frame of
mind. During the past week they have
suffered from lack of warmth and food and
realized what must surely have followed a
prolonged struggle sgainst capital.
As the result of the conference held to-
lay between spinners and tressurers twas
automatically arranged that the spinners go
back to work on a reduction of per cent.
in wages, with the understanding that what
ever final settlement is made in Fall River
shall also apply here. The spinners COM
mittee agreed that if the mill tressurers
would not sgree to take all the operatives
back under the agreement that they woul
not 60 in themselves, but it is said that
there will be no trouble on that part as this
was the understanding at the conference
with the manufacturers.
The operatives about town this evening
were feeling very jubilsnt. The Associated
Press reporter learned facts not given out
by the parties directly concerned in the
conference. One of these is that the places
of the operatives who have left the city on
account of the strike shall be kept for one
week after the mills resume operations.
This was a condition imposed on the mill
treasurers by the spinners' committee. By
this agreement those operatives who left the
city will be notified by friends, and those
who have not left the country, but are in
towns and cities in this state or vicinity can
get back in time to regain their old position
if they so esire.
