COTTON INDUSTRY IN A BAD WAY
Fall River manufacturers Agree to
Shut Down or to Cut
Wages,

Fall River. Mass. Nov. 6.-It is an
nounced here that all but one. or possibly
two. cotton manufacturing corporations
have signed an agreement to abide by the
recommendations of special committee
of the Manufacturers Association. which
has been appointed to take some steps for
improvement in the condition of the local
cotton industry. 1t is expected that shut
down or decided reduction of wages will
be advised. Some manufacturers are OPP
posed to a shutdown, urging that it will
not improve affairs. They point out that
Fall River no longer controls the markets.
and that 1t would simply allow mills in
other states to meet the improved demand
by running over time. This is particularly
possible in the South. and the only remedy
Is believed to be in securing national law
governing hours of labor.
Some of the advocates of a cutdown who
are represented on the committee favor a
cut beginning with the treasurer and which
will apply to every emplOye.

BUILDING LAW REVISION
REPORT OF ARCHITECTS TO WHOM
THEATER ORDINANCE WAS SENT.
Suggestions as to Changing the Pres
ent General Ordinance First Be-
fore TackIing the Theaters.

In reference to the new theater ordinance,
which it was expected would be presented
to the Council at its next meeting, a con-
ference of city officials was yesterday held
in the mayors office. There were present
the members of the Board of Public Works,
Mayor Taggart City Controller Johnson
and Architects Oscar j.. Bohlen. Arthur
Bohn and Louis II. Gibson. who had been
invited into the conference by Mayor Tag
CART, in accordance with the Council res
olution. 1t was the opinion of the archi-
tects that an ordinance of the character
described by the city officials could not be
prepared by next Monday night. The great
est difficulty, the gentlemen thought would
arise from the fact that the general build
ing ordinance, in its present shape, would
probably conflict with the special ordinance
governing the building of theaters. The
architects thought the general building or
dinance should be revised. Architect Glib
son said it was his understanding that the
special ordinance the committee had in
mind would be after the style of a New
York ordinance providing for fireproof the
aters. In New York, he said, the general
building ordinance describes what should
constitute fire-proof building. After some
discussion of these points the architects
report on the question. Late in the evening
the following communication from the COM
mittee was handed the mayor:
Your committee, appointed to make sug-
gestions with respect to the theater ordt-
nance now before the Council and to make
report on July 10, have to state that the
time allowed is too short for the necessary
consideration of the important question;
We would suggest that instead OF a special
theater ordinance that our present building
laws might be so revised as to embody sec
lions which would fully cover the desired
ground. There are many matters in the
present building ordinance which would
come in contact with the special theater
ordinance now up for consideration, MAX
ing it difficult, if not impossible, of enforce
ment; and while We fully appreciate the ne
cessty for haste in this matter, we are quite
certain that this work can best be done
by first revising the general building ordi-
nance and then giving special attention to
the theater ordinance, as well as other spe-
cial conditions relating to the general and
public building work.
IF you see tit we would be disposed to
take up this matter in the spirit that we
have her in outlined and give it our best

MATTHEWS FAMILY PLATE.
Ex-GovernOr's Home i'm VermilIion
County Robbed of lit.

Ex-Governor Claude Matthews was a
caller at the police station yesterday. He
reported a robbery which occurred at his
home in Vermillon county the night be-
fore. He left home at 10 o'clock Tuesday
night and yesterday morning received a
telephone message saying that burglars
had carried off the family plate during the
night. Governor Matthews said he did not
think 1t required much of Il burglar to eff,
feet an entrance to the house as it was
seldom locked at night. Immunity from
robbers had probably made himself and
family too careless He said this was the
first time for many years that there had
been robbery of any consequence in his
neighborhood. The only other time he re-
members being bothered in Vermilion
county was when, many years ago, he was
awakened at night by a noise in the smoke
house. He seized a shotgun and emptied
one barrel of it in the direction of a man
he could see climbing over the fence in
his flight.
Il don't know whether / hit him. said
the Ex-Governor, but the next morning |
could see where the shot entered the fence
right where | had seen him climbing over.
and on the ground there was fine large
ham which the thief had dropped.''
