this fact It will be welcome news that the re-
norris of the discontinuance Of an agreement or
this sort by one Of the great Fall River mills
are unfounded On the contrary, as the treas
urer writes in n letter which we print in an
other column the results have never been more
satisfactory in the eight years that proht-shar-
ING has been tried there than at the present
time
This fact Is one of great significance because
the last few wears have been Of kind in bust
moss circles to strike at proft-sharing arrange

reduced to their lowest point or have been con-
sp,cuous for their absence. Many mills have
shut down TO avoid loss. and the entire situation
has been one TO make the very phrase profit

Fall River corporation in question has seen It's

Washington, Dec. 1a.-One of the most
important reports presented and adopt
cd by the national board of trade to-
day was that of Jonathan A. Lane of
Boston on the reform of the consular
service. The report advocated the eX-
tension Of the civil service rules to cover
the consular service, to the end OF Sc
curing practical business men in the
service rather than purely political APP
pointees
A resolution was adopted that inn
porters be compelled to present their
goods before the consul at points where
the goods are obtained. A resolution
was passed on uniformity of state
laws This looks especially to the UNI
fication of commercial laws in the varl-
Gus states Somewhat in the same line
