SPINNERS VOTE Not TO STRIKE.
IMPORTANT DECISION REACHED BY THE UNION
~ FALL RIVER.

~ FALL RIVER.
Fall River Mass. Jan. 1.-The Mule Spinners'
Association voted tonight TO accept the reduc-
ton In wages which will take effect on Monday.
the vote standing 2H TO 200 Ballots were cast by
the financial members of the union during the
afternoon and the result was announced at gen
eral meeting held I O'Clock. The small vote is
accounted for by the fact that spnners in the
Keer Conancu, Globe Yarn and Sanford spinning
mills were debarred from voting. because they
have been told that reduction will be made in
their wages while business remains at present.
The policy of the Conanicut Mil may be changed.
but the spnnerS have been assured that the other
mills which make fine and fancy yarns will not
reduce wages under the present conditions OF trade.
The announcement OF the result caused much
pleasure among the business men. as they feel
that a strike would have. entailed much suffering
in the community. and would have been barren
OF results for several weeks at least.

1T would be an unpleasant thing
to contemplat If, while in the en-
joyment of the fruits Of the victory,
any of those who supported the
cause of sound money in 1896 should
now, either from lethargy or pique,
or through the influence of minor
questions, be led either actively or
passively to give their aid to the re-
vival or perpetuation of this dis
turbing influence. I cannot under
stand why any Republican should
withdraw either his influence or his
vote from the Republican ticket.
Small differences as to the details of
administration and smaller differ
ences growing out of personal disap-
pointments should be put utterly
