FALL RIVER FEELS EASIER.
General Opinion that Wage Question Will Be
Amicably Settled.

Fan River. Mass. Nov 2-Secretary
Housewife of the Cotton Manufacture
ers Association. has received a COM
munication from the Textile Council
asking for another conference. tomor-
row afternoon. Secretary Whitehead
of the council. in his letter to the man.
ufacturers. stated that while the mem
hers favor the idea of a sliding scale.
the one presented, Monday, does not
meet with their approval. The labor
leaders wish to have the wage ques-
ton settled first. after which they will
be ready to take up a sliding scale
agreement The letter further says
that the time between now and the
new year will not be ample enough to
allow full consideration of such an i'm
pOrtant matter which in the end must
go to the large body of operatives for
final approval. The council has no
power to accept scale now; they are
asked to first obtain a higher scale of
wages. When the sliding scale is con-
sidered by the council they must place
it before the labor organizations with
their recommendations, for action.
The secretary of the Manufacturers
Association would not say at this time
whether the conference would be held,
Thursday afternoon or the next day.
The special committee would decide
that. There was no doubt, however,
that the conference would be granted.
The feeling on the street, this even
ing. is that the whole question will be
dmicahly settled. AT the new quota

600 pieces Of goods have already been

Of buyers and sellers in the ability of

lief that the help will be retained at
work by a satisfactory settlement of
the wage difficulty.
