THE NEW DNGLAND STRIKE.
Peace and Quiet Prevail at the Cottor
Mills
Ry- Telegraph


cRy Telegraph).
BOSTON, Jan. 19.-The third day of
the strike in the New England cotton
and wooden mills has been am unevent-
full one and peace and quiet prevailed.
There We're no signs of concession b,
either side and none is looked for In
The near future.
The only acquisition to tine list of
striking communities today was THAT Of
the Cabot mill at Brunswick, Maine,
where 225 operatives refused do work at
the reduced wages. Those who left
the mill are speed tenders and fully
100 operatives still remain.
Strikes are now ON in the cotton
mills at New Bedford. Biddeford, Saco,
Brunswick, Lewiston, Burlington and
in the King Philip, Laurel Lake and
Hargreaves Mo. 1. at Fall River and
White Rock mills at Westerly.
In the wooden centres there are strikes
in the Wanskuk and Geneva mills at
Providence. Central mills at Central
Fails and Over and Laconia, THE lat
ter being a hosiery concern.
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, Jan. 19.--
There is a good deal OF dissension and
recimination among the mill owners to-
day. Consequently the cause of the
strikers is growing brighter. An angry
alteration took place between Andrew
Pierce and the trea ssirers and mana gers
Of some of the other mills. There are
reasons for believing that Pierce will
be forced ITO yield to the demands of
the strikers Through the influence OF
some Of the large Stockholders and d.
rectors of the company. II the en-
ployees win at this point there can be
little doubt but that they will have a
speedy victory throughout the entire
section.

Republican City Commit ttee Is Confident

Wards viii he Counteracted by
Jealous Work--Resume of the
Ward Contests Which Are Exciting
the Most Interest in the Present
Campaign.

| When the Republican city committee
| finished the final council of the CAM
! paign Saturday night, Chairman Chit
! tenden told the candidates that their
| election was assured. This was said
after the field had been thoroughly
| canNassed and every obtruding ques-
/ ton thoroughly discussed pro and con.
| Nothing hut an unexpectedly small Re"
| publican vote can cause even single
| defeat and as the best of Republican
weather is promised there is little need
to worry on this score.
The calculations are that there Will
be a big vote polled by both sides all
through the city.
1t is seldom that a city committee has
taken such an interest in it's campaign
as has the present one. Its every mem
Der is a worker and in the cause at

were enthusiastic and harmonious and
when each was concluded those pres
ent went away with the satisfaction of
having accomplished something. 1t re-
mains now for the Republican voters to
crown their jealous efforts with success
and 20 do this all that is necessary is
that they come out and vote.
WARDS THAT HAVE FIGHTS.
In the ward fights everything pres
ages that the Republicans will come out
with a gain in both councils and in the
school board. There are some'very close
| and exciting fights, however. and it will
be no walkover in some instances for
the Republican candidates

popular young man and hard fighter
it has been necessary for his opponent
10 do some Of his characteristic hust-
iirg to clinch victory.
IN the Fourth ward there is also a
| lively fight for sele t council but the
chances of Democratic success are very
| far removed. The ward is ovetrwhelm-
| ingly Republican and the candidate,
| Simon Thomas, is one of the strongest
Republicans in the ward as was shown
| in the three corncred primaries from
which he emerged with ma jority that
| was surprisingly large even 10 his most
sanguine friends. John Rcncheler the
Democratic candidate, counts on get
| ting some votes from dissatisfied Re
publicans and he douhtlessly will, but
| they will be few at the most and Will
| be more than offset by the Democratic
voters that this popular young oppon-
crt will secure. The fight for common
council hardly deserves the dignity of
being classed in the category of con-
| tests so sure is the victory of the Re-
publican candidates. William V. Gritt-
