FALL RIVER. Mass. Dec. 20.-A
conference Of representatives of the
cotton manufacturers and the en-
ployes on the wage question was held
today. The representatives of the la
Dor unions submitted three PROPOSE
lions, and each of the delegates made
some comment thereon. The manu-
facturers decided to take the matter
under consideration, and will give a
written answer tomorrow. These prop
oSitionS are:
First-It being the general opinion that
there will be an Improvement during the
ensuing year and that the manufacturers VIII
be in far more prosperous condition than
at present, we request the manufacturers to
postpone the proposed reduction until the hrst
Of March. If there Is no Improvement at
that time we will hold another conference
with a view Of settling the wage question.
Second-Believing that reducing wages Is
not a remedy for an oVerstocked market,
we respectfully request the manufacturers 10
work four or five days per week until the
first of March. II there Is no improvement
at that time we will hold another conference.
Third-If neither OF the above propositions
is accepted and we cannot settle the que5-
tons satisfactorily, we are willing to sub
nit our case to the state board OF arbitration
wages to remain as at present until the state
board makes Its report
After the SUDInlttdl Oh IHelI pIOpOSi-
tons the present conditions of trade, the
causes which have led up to them
and the matter Of Southern COMPETE
ton were discussed at great length.
and, after over two hours Of delibera-
ton, the conference adjourned. There
was nothing about the conference that
either side will regret. as perfect har-
mony prevailed at all times. Secreta-
ries Whitehead and O'Donnell both
expressed themselves after the con-
ference as being in every way salts
fed with the meeting. and said that
they felt that they had made strong
impression on the manufacturers. and
hoped that their propositions would
lead to postponement of action at
present After tho adjournment of
the conference, the commissioners lis
tened to a delegation of the slashers'
union, who asked a special hearing
on their agreement with the manu-
facturers. They will receive an an
