NOT MUCH LARGER.
Can the Battle Be waged Between Strikers
 and Mill Owners.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb 5.--The third week of the big strike ended today, and owing to the rupture that prevails between union and non-union operatives it is q question if the battle can be waged much longer.
 All that will help this rupture Is a liberal supply of funds from outside sources to divide among the discontented and keep them in line. The operatives who were making most of the trouble are not as badly off as some of their fellow workmen, who declare they will starve rather than return to work.
 "We have been cut down 15 per cent. since 1884," said one, "and this 10 per cent. reduction will bring the cut down to 25 per cent. in four years. We can earn only enough to eat and clothe ourselves, and was not slave as we'll off as that?'
