$4,000 in New York last Sunday, to

that amount should be given to every

not be enough to so round. And then,
too, the religion to which the foreign

interest i'm this city resolves itself around
the situation at the King Philip mills.
the difficulties I'm the other mills having
practically been settled. The surrender
of the frame spinners at the Fall River
Iron Works company's mills has ended
the only other strike of large proportions.
and at the Sagamore the places OF the
discontented have SO far been filled as TO
practically end the difficulty there
The attitude OF the carders is still n
matter OF uncertainty and there may
be trouble with them. although every
effort will be made TO settle all differ
ences with them. Their grievances are
on account of alleged excesses in the
reduction. and IL is not improbable that
compromises may be made to prevent
a strike.
The disposition on the part OF the la
Dor leaders as well as manufacturers
to avoid a strike and the wise counsel
against such a method Of settling dis
pUtes have borne good results. and in
numberless cases a conference between
agent or superintendent and the discon-
tented ones has resulted I'm an amicable
settlement OF trouble.
