der by A. E. Gray, of Westbrook, and W.
II. Mclaughlin, the checker champion,
of Scarboro was made chairman.
Mr.. Mclaughlin at once pulled a tlocu-
ment from his pocket and read red hot
address.
| He began by saying that the great
| tidal wave of prosperity which is moving
over the country with such a swish has
not yet struck the Scarboro farmer with
force enough to take him off his feet,
which are too firmly glued to the rook
| Of modest money. The farmer, like the
| prosecuted one Of old, is chained to
rock, while the yuluures of honest money
peck out his eyes.
| Mr.. Mclaughlin then went on to tell the
pisiful story of q Scarboro farmer who
| started for Portland with butter, had to
cave his colt three miles out to prevent
getting smashed up by the electric cars,
and finally, after long tramp, bad to
sell his butter for ten cents pound.
With the proceeds of his butter he
bought shoddy vest made by protect
ed manufacturer, which would drop 10
pieces at the first rain storm.
Mr. Mclaughlin next told of the hard
ships OF thrifty young blacksmith of
Scarboro who had started out with $75 in
small bills TO collect. At night he came
home just 80 cents better off.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then attacked the Re-
publican national convention; the Re-
publican administration in Maine; and
the last Legislature. Nothing was done
for the farmer. Large sums of money
were squandered on the Insane Hospi tai
in building palaces for pigs, etc. yet If
any OF the Populists should be unfortu-
nate enough to go there, they would find
that board cost as much as at first class
summer hotel in the bloom of the season.
| The chairman then went on to attack
| the plutocrats, gold bugs, creditors, etc.,
In she approved greenbacl1 style.
| Mr.. Frost was made Secretary, and all
in attendance were invited to take part
IN the convention krespectiye of creden-
tials.

A GOOD SCHEME
From a Boston Standpoint But Hardly
From Western.

Boston, July 6.-The Post tomorrow
will offer suggestion to the sound
money men at Chicago to fight for fin
ancial plank for interna tional agreement
for thesfree coinage of silver, with or
without England, and for the mainte-
nance of the gold standard. 1t thinks
this plank would meet the approval of
the gold men east and north, and would
go long way toward meeting the desires
of the conservatives element, west and
south. Itsays that England has always
been in the way of sound international
,hirnetallisIn, but with the United States,
Germany, France and the Latin ooun-
tries agreed, the remonitizauion of silver
would be safe, and once established.
England would have to accede to it if. she
wished tc retain the trade with the silver
using countries of the world.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

AACA%AH
Z Biddeford. July 6-Instead of follow
ing the example of the Fall River cor
porations, which closed their factories to-
day for four weeks, the Pepperell and
Laconia mills of this city are to follow
new plan of ourtailment of produc-
tion. For scyen weeks they have been
running ON short time in all depart
ments. This afternoon official notice was
given that beginning tomorrow the No.
3 Pepperell mill and all the broad looms
in both the Peppsrell and Laconia will
suspend operations, while all thesother
departments will be run on full time. |.
This means that of the 5000 operatives
of the two corporations about half will
be thrown out of employment, while
the remaining employees will be able to
get In full time.
The reason why the work on the broad
looms is to be stopped is that their pro-
duct, domestic oottons, Is glut in the
market; there is practically no sale for
that class OF goods. But the export
drills, manufactured on the narrow looms
are readily disposed of, though at prices
which the corporation officials solaim
there is no profit in. 1t is said that 1t
would be more advantageous for ( be Bid
deford mills osshut do wn entirely for the
summer, but that the desiresto keep the
plant in the best possible condition and
operatives, the management prefer to
keep as much of the machinery moving
as possible under prevailing conditions.
But there is darker side to the Bidde-
ford mill situation. Today 81 loom fxers
of the two corporations quit work on
their own accord. The Laconia contin-
gent remained away from their looms
this morning, and were joined this after
noon by the Pepperell reinforoements
who came out on sympathetic strike.
The Laconia loom fixers have griev-
anoe, or think they have one. 1t relates
to the arrangement of work in their de-
partment. They claim that there exis is
an inequality in the number. of looms in
the various sections, and correspond
ing inequality of wages.
The corporations claim is that because
of the varied kinds of product and diff
ference in the speed Of the looms, there
can be no absolute equality in the size of
the sections, and that the loom fxers
grievance is only fanoied one The
committee hatswaited on Agent McAr-
thur last week to lay the matter before
him was informed that il proof could
be shown of any existing injustice it
would be promptly remedied.
The strikers are Union mon, and If they
stiok to their avowal Of intention, it is
thought that other union employees will
join them and a com plete shutting down
of the mills result, forcing out of work
1900 who under the new arrangement are
to be given employment on full time.
Business men of the two cities are seri-
ously alarmed over the outlook In the
face of a dull market, whitfield store
houses, and the example set by the Is
Fall River mills today, the belief is
strong that the Pepperell and Laconia
management would like to see enough of
the operatives go out Of their own &C.
cord to afford an excuse for entirely shut
ting down the mills till times improve

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Frawley Season Seats are Trans
ferable-LiIlian Russell Coming.
A number of theatre-goers are not
aware that the season tickets for the
Frawley season are transferable; they
are. Separate tickets will be issued
for each performance, with the under
standing that the same are transfer
able. During the past few days, peo>
pie have dubbed together; selected
their seats and will use them on alter
nate nights. This plan has met with
favor with those who feel that they
can not afford to purchase tickets for
the entire season. Tickets can be Sc
cured at Hobron's.
1t is definitely settled that Nat Good
win will not play here next month,
when he passes through, on his way
to San Francisco. Too many shows
here in November is the cause. Man
