Doth narrow search show thee no earthly stain?
Be noble! and the hobleness that lies

Piled up In glorious banks of light,
How small seems earth How puny our desires
Eternity-how bright!

The future shines resplendent. though afar,
Faiths piercing eye can look beyond and greet

Strange yearninss all my heart,

Een the hedgling feels his Instincts stir
Within him in the nest.
So pinioned to earth too long,
The soul awakPs, and. hnttering ere It flies.
Brushes its spirit-wing against my cheek
In rare surprise.
That it had slumbered thus awhile,
Lulled by the voices and the earthly din
That made the body all unconscious of
The visitor Within.
And so glory steals abroad,
deep content that wraps me long;
For me the heavens have borne a message rare.

stead of blushing or hanging down our

we should be proud of it, for all history,
ancient and modern, shows that it is by
the fusion Of races that all great and

are also the most heterogeneous. We
are still more mixed, and every day

Scandinavian and other blood runs in
our veins, this AngloSaXon glorilica-

America is not Anglo-Saxon any more

NEW ENGLAND STRIKE
TEXTILE MILL WORKERS TIC
QUIT.
1t VIII he n Strong Protest Against Cut
Wngcs-Ncarly 100000 Operatives In
Supported by the Federation OF
Labor. ~.

Boston, Feb. 1i.-At meeting yes
terday in this city of iifty-five repre-
sentntlves of textile unions in New
England, 1t was unanimously voted to
recommend that all unions call out the
operatives in every cotton mill in New
England.
The meeting was practically the out
come of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the Feder-
alton of Labor last Sunday, in which
he urged the different unions to unite
on some settled policy in the mill sit
uation in New England. AT that meet
ing committee of four was appointed
TO take charge of the matter and after
II conference this committee recon-
mendcd definite action. To-day the
representatives of the various national
textile associations assembled and for
four hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. The primary object
of the meeting was to devise some
methods of rendering assistance to the
New Bedford strikers.
1t was pointed out that If the strikers
at New Bedford could hold out for four
weeks without receiving more than 20
cents per operative per week In the
way of outside assistance, other mill
operatives could stand n similar strain,
and that IL all went out It would pre-
cipltate Il crisis that would have to be
met within short time by the manu-
facturers. 1t was also shown that the
mule splnners were in excellent con-
ditlon as regards funds United Textile
Workers and the New England Fed
ptsltinn Mon also In GOOD
shape but that the rest were short of
funds. The questions were also dis
cussed and at length the matter was
put to vote, no one being registered
against the motion that the different
unions should order a general strike in
every cotton mill in New England until
satisfactory adjustment of wages could
be arranged
1t now remains for various national
unions to take action ON the resolu-
tlon, but what this action will be is n
matter of conjecture. If all should
acquiescc and vote to strike. 1900
operatives would undoubtedly cease
work and the manufacture of cotton
goods throughout New England would
be at standstill. If, on the other
hand, only few unions should vote TO
strike, the refusal of the others would
still keep large portion of the mills in
operation.
1nasmuch, however. rs the meeting
YVES the outcome of President Com
pers' suggestion. and rs he admonishcd
the members of the Federation of La-
hor TO join hands and assist the New
Bedford strikers, 1t seems probable
that nearly every uniou will corry out
the recommendations and that one of
the greatest strikes ever seen in this
country Is impending.
