male offspring as male offspring. He
says that II the father OF an unborn
child will answer a few questions he
will tell accurately the sex of the child
to be born.
The early experiments OF Dr. Watson
were made among animals. The mare
which he drives was used in one expert
rent. When the physician became GER
tain that the sex could be Influenced In
animals he directed his attention to hu-
man beings with equally satisfactory
results. He declined TO give names, but
will permit a medical expert to convince
himself of the truth Of his assertions.
This method. he says. has never yet
failed.
In a statement which DR.. Watson has
prepared he says that il is not necessary
for the mother TO undergo any treat
ment. He does not agree with Profess
sor Schenk that nourishment and diet
have anything to do with determining
the sex of "a child. Neither does he
agree with the professor that the father
has no influence in determining sex He
believes that one has as much influence
as the other. 1t Is too late TO influence
sex. he saws. after imrregnation.

THE FINES QUESTION.

Possibility OF an Agreement over One
Thing In New Bedford.
New Bedford, Mass, March THE
conference committee of the weavers
met yesterday and authorized President
Cunnane 70 prepare proposition on the
fines question which will be submitted
TO the members OF the state board of
arbitration on it's visit today. and IL 1t
meets their approval IL will subsequently
be submitted to the manufacturers. This
notion is in response to a request from the
arbitrators. who. In turn, have been re-
ouested by the manufacturers to secure
such proposition.
Up TO the present time the strikers
have held together with unusual har-
rnony. but now this one point threatens
disruption. Twice, at the urging Of those
unions whose members are not ag-
grieved by fines, the weavers have been
begged 10 abandon their cherished con-
tention. but each time have refused.
Now. the other unions have decided to
tolerate such an attitude no longer.
They feel that the weavers and their
hning issue are good deal like the
proverbial millstone about their necks,
and they are preparing TO cut Il adrst.
Said prominent official Of the Loom
Fixers' union: IF they don't get that
issue out OF the way. either by their con-
ference with the manufacturers or by
dropping II. We will go ahead without
them and try 10 get a compromise on
the wage question, which Is all we are
striking for
The strikers are n devoid Of funds as
ever. with the single exception OF the
epinners, who have so far been support
ed by the national organization. The
result Of the visit Of President Gompers
OF the American Federation OF Labor is
disappointing to the strikers They had
been led TO believe that there was a pros
pect. through Gompers. OF securing in
creased financial assistance. the means
60 be a general levy OF the ganization
which he represents. The result was n
promise of the same old moral support
which the strikers have been receiving
frcfn time 10 time. and which. as thsy
have repeatedly stated does not mi their
empty stomachs. Gompers claimed that
% percent Of the support the strikers
were receiving came from the organiza-
tions allied with the Federation OF Labor
but he could not guarantee any increase.
II may have done Gompers good TO haul
his socialist enemy. DeLeon. over the
Goals. but the strikers wanted promise
or more assistance from him. That they
did not ret.
President William Cunnane OF the
Weavers' union says: The inference
drawn from Nr. Gompera' remarks is
that the socialists have given nothinn
end that ORGANIZATIONS affiliated with
the federation had given ALL In this
he r. wrong. and if ne could see rome
OF the letters which have received
from secrsS iries ~ bis own organiza-
fions they would make his hair stand
on end. n h. really believes what he says.

Biddeford. Me-, March TIT was a
very pleasant Sunday for the mill opera
tives. as the battle for higher wages
fought by the workers in the Pepperei
and Laconia mills was at an END. Ihe
strikers returned 10 their looms TINS
morning. thus ending a battle that was
stubbornly fought. and which developed
features a little different from those ~
other strikes in New England. Whiie
the operatives have not won they nave
not lost the sympathy of the community
Business men have given freely provis-
ions and cash TO carry on the strike,
though they realized that the war woulo
mean a loss to them OF many thousands
OF dollars: but all their efforts have failec
10 accomplish their purpose, and the
strike is at an end.
IL was n Sunday Of suppressed excite
ment. Some of the operatives who were
mot present at Saturdays meeting,
when a vote was taken, were indignant
at the action taken. and declared that
they would not return 10 work. They
accused the leaders OF selling out 10 the
corporation and of working from the
start i'm the interest of the mill manage
ment. The majority of the operatives
however, take no stock in the charges
and believe that the executive committee
has done everything possible TO win the
fight.
At meeting OF the mule spinners
Saturday night. It was voted to return
70 work today. Sunday at a meeting OF
the slashers IL was unanimously voted
10 return to work under a cutdown and
TO trust to the honesty OF Agent Nc.
Arthur TO restore wages TO the old sched.
ule as soon as the condition Of the cotton
market shall warrant, as he promised
committee.
A big meeting was held last night
when Noel Beaupre made a stirring
speech. He vigorously denounced those
who had said he had sold out. He told
of the interview OF the committee with
Agent Macarthur. and said that this gen
tleman had assured the committee that
the wages would be restored as soon as
the condition of the market warranted
his doing so.
The mills started with nearly n ,ul
complement of help. For nearly a weel
the operatives had been wavering. and
many were in favor OF going back te
work A leader said last night that one
reason why the voice of the operative.
at mass meetings had been different from
the expression OF desire 10 go TO work on
any terms frequently heard on the street
was that at meetings many operatives
were afraid to say they wanted TO go TO
work for fear that they would be called
scabs.
