STRIKE AT WARREN
Is DECLARED OFF.
Action Taken Last Evening--Knight
Mills rlay All Be Shut Down
by Saturday Night.

Now that the Warren strike has been
officially declared off, there remains
only the trouble with the weavers In
the Knight mills. The representatives
OF the Warren strikers, Messrs. White
head, Hibbet and Healy OF the Nation
al Textile union. met the officials Of
the Warren Manufacturing company in
the mill yesterday afternoon, all of the
striking weavers in the town having
returned to work early in the morning,
in conformity with the agreement
reached Wednesday evening.
The committee represented TO Mr..
Waterman OF the mill that the chief
grievance of the operatives then at
work lay i'm the discharge OF Miss Le-
mieux, a member OF their recently or
ganized union. They thought she had
been discharged because OF her actv-
lily in organizing the weavers. and con-
sidered the companys action "A blow
at them and at the cause of organized
labor They wished superintendent
Schaer. with the approval OF the War
ren Manufacturing company, 10 REIN
state Miss Lemieux.
This statement was heard by Mr..
Waterman, representing the company.
He told the committee that the COM
pany would agree To consider Miss Lee
mieux's application IL presented by her
four weeks from yesterday as imparti-
ally as II she had never worked in the
mill before. but that the company
would not reinstate her. Willy nilly.
Personally Mr.. Waterman had no
doubt that superintendent Schaer
would relnstate Miss Lemieux IL she
applied for work at the time stated.
When the operatives received this re-
port last night with the recommends
ton that il be adopted, they discussed
IL for some time and decided TO accept
Ii. The strike was then declared off.
1t Is the general belief that another
suck strike will never take place in this
mill.
In the Pawtuxet valley the indica-
tions are that Saturday night will see
all the Knight mills closed. to remain
so until the 1000 striking weavers at
Natick, Arctic. Riverpoint and Lippitt
see fit TO accept the knight terms. Col.
Webster knight declared today that
this was the biggest strike the firm
had ever had and he deplored II very
much.
Il can say" said he, that up TO the
present time the utmost good order has
prevailed, and so far as the conduct
o fthe operatives Is concerned we have
not the slightest fault TO find. We feel
that there Is some mistake and that

judged the situation. Ii is we'll known

LONDON, August 1O.-The copyright
bill, as amended by the house OF lords

In a memorandum to the bill Lord
Ting calls attention to clause Il,
which provides that the proprletors Of
any newspaper or news agency shall be
entitled for eighteen hours to the ex-
elusive right to publishing foreign news
which he has obtained especially and

mum penalty of CT and maximum PEN

ton in which news is published within
eighteen hours without the consent Of
the proprletors.
His lordshlp remarked that the clause
adds to the law by making news indie
pendent Of the form in which 1t is con.
veyed, the subject of copyright, and by
imposing a sufficient penalty for in
frlngement. He adds that there seems
no reason why news acquired by the
exercise Of great ability and great ex-
pense should not be protected by copy

commenting on news so acquired.

the red or coarser-waved rays pass on.
That the dust reflects back only the
blue rays is due to their microscopic
size. The finer the dust the purer is
the blue which IS reelected or scattered.
The bluest skies. therefore. are seen in
places whore the dust particles are
smallest; the blue Of the sky as viewed
from the tops of mountains is deeper
and purer than that seen from a lower
altitude. This is due to the fact that
the air Is very rare at great heights,
and can only sustain, the finest particles
of dust, while the coarser particles
abound in the lower levels. The inten-
sity of the blue sky for which italy is
noted is not owing to the existence Of
finer dust than in northern countries,
but to the fact that in the northern lat
itudes. in consequence Of the greater
GOODNESS Of the air. the vapor more
readily condenses upon the dust partl-
Giles. These particles thus become
larger and less effective in turning back
the blue rays alone. It follows that
other rays are reflected. and a graylsh
effect is produced. When the sky forms
a background for white cumulus clouds
It appears to be bluer by the contrast
than 1t otherwise would, and after a
shower. when the lower stratum Of air
is washed of It's coarse dust particles
the result is a deeper and purer blue.
The reason the reds are prominent at
sunset is that then the dust particles
are between the sun and the observer,
and the blues are reflected away from
him. while the reds pass unrestricted
to his eye.
