FALL RIVER STRIKERS.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 26.-At a
meeting OF striking spinners today it was
decided TO prolong the strike until the
old rate of wages is restored. II was also
voted TO make weekly payments to strlk-
ers the same as last week, and to
call out the spinners from the Durfee mill
and support them. The weavers held a
meeting last evening, but adjourned until
Thursday night pending the action of the
spinners.
The Globe yarn mill No. 2, started this
morning under reduced wages, and II is
said there were applications enough to
start all three of the mills. Preference
was given, however, in hiring the help, to
the old operatives. No. l mill will start
tomorrow morning. Neither OF these mills
employ mule spinners at present, because
there are no orders on hSnd calling for that
kind OF spinning. At the Durfee mills
everything is running except five pairs OF
mules, and at the Seaconnet about three
quarters OF the mill is moving.
In regard to the order of the spinners
calling out the members at work, nothing
has yet been done, but II is probable that
the spinnors will leave in the morning.
