WEEKLY CURTAlLMENT FAVORED.
Plan to Reduce Wages In Fall River Mills May
Yet Be Headed Of.

Fall River Mass, Sept. 4.--Although
practically every mill interested in the
proposed reduction of wages, renewed
eurtailment and postponement of re-
duction plans, is shut down for the entire
week, in pursuance of the original four
weeks curtailment agreement, Labor
day found Fall River discussing the
plans of the mill men, in anticipation Of
the probable result of the efforts now be-
Ing made by different sets of manufac-
turers to bring about an acceptance of
the different plans proposed by them.
The plan which meets with the most
favor among operatives is that of
postponement of decrease in wages
until the effect of further curtailment is
tried. The general opinion among mill
hands is that renewed curtailment should
be inaugurated, if undertaken at ALL
under different system than that which
has been the plan during the term Of
shutdown now about to end.
Shutting down plants from a week to
month at a time, as has been the case
with mills signing the original curtail-
mer, when the cost of living was not 50
high, and there was very little hardship
in being deprived of pay checks, but with
the fall and winter approaching, living
conditions will change, and operatives
| favor renewed curtailment on a working
schedule of three or four days per week,
by which they will receive pay every
week regularly and be able to live with
out unnecessary discomfort. A long
term of curtailment, running from week
to week in continuation, would cause un-
told suffering among the poorer class of
Fall River operatives, and give the city
blow from which it would take years of
prosperity to recover
Many of the so-called print goods
mills make fine goods and prints in equal
proportion, and these, together with the
mills which manufacture nothing but
fancy grades may develop enough
strength before the week ends to head of
the reduction movement

The procession was one Of the hand

by her religion, would have become a
Christian. Out of her own income she

Woman's Club.

Those who in spite of the heat attend
ed the Woman's Club at Pythan Hall
Monday afternoon, were not disappoint-
ed and the universal verdict was that
they had chad a real treat" The treat
was a fine musical entertainment that
had been planned by the Music Commit
tee under the Craftsmanship of Mrs. P. F.
Hazen, who had charge of the pro-
gramme.
Mrs. Hazen introduced as guest of
honor, Miss Harriet Whittier of Boston,
who has many friends here and in Dan
vile, also B. Frank Harris, accompanist,
and Miss Ross who gracefully rendered
three piano solos.
Miss Whittier's voice and manner are
both charming, and one feels both salts
fed and unsatished in hearing her; fully
satisfied in the rich voice and natural
expressive rendering, and unsatisfied
when the last number is reached that
there is to be no more.
Following the programme which is
given in full, the club members and many
in and out OF town guests participated
in an hour Of social enjoyment.

"The Sea is His and He Made it.

"The Sea is His and He Made it.
EXTRACTS from sermon preached by Rev,
Charles R. Seymour, Bennington, Aug. s,
from Psalms &c 81
Here is no forthputting of pass
ing idea. A cause of praise is ad-
duced. The people are melted to
worship by work of the Mighty
Maker, and no object is more en-
kindling to human imagination than
the sea. From the first it has been
so. The all-encompassing ocean has
held mans regard as constant
means of inspiration. l would bring
the sea which has filled my thought
of late, to the hills this morning,
hoping to make sort of return for
the leave Of absence kindly granted
me.
The sea has the same Maker
as man. Inconsistency, turbulence,
treachery, in either case are no OBJ
lection to the statement. To a con-
siderable distance east of the Island
of Nantucket, the danger of naviga-
ton is prohibitive to other than
fishing craft. "Sea horses" mark
the sand reefs. A ship caught here
would be dashed to pieces by the
angry food. But surface waters
are the servants of sun, moon and
wind. Their raging only hides the
deep calm where abides steadfast the
evidence of grand design of good.
SO mans anger and cruelty obscure
for the moment his nobler nature,
but the inherent elements of Justice
and mercy which, when developed,
prove the handiwork OF God, are
abiding. Now the fact that the
ocean and man have the same wise
and good Creator prepares US to find
between them closer relationship.
The sea is a servant of man. 1t
makes the earth habitable, provides
the vapors, springs, streams, rivers,
which prevent the land from becom-
ing parched desert. Still more
directly, the sea provides nourish-
ment for mankind. We are more
easily impressed with the value of
the sea to international commerce.
Sail into great harbor and
endeavor to count the black bulls
and the palace-like liners that have
come up from distant shores laden
with commodities of every sort.
More melting still, perhaps, is the
social intercourse of the nations bv
the medium of the sea. Travel is
enormous, literary exchange is uni
versal, message bearing from land to
land is a feature of the century.
Whatever is good for one country is
sought by the others. The best
religion is finding its way to the re-
hottest regions.
Once more, the sea speaks as a
soul to the soul of man. 1t invites
him to conquest. The swimmer &C.
cepts the challenge and floats upon
the surface of incoming pillows, the
little boats push out and live gaily
in the midst of threatening waves,
huge ships venture in all weathers
and reach home in safety, great
liners plow the maddened main aud
ride majestically into foreign ports.
And to men who by their courage
and persistence overcome the sea, it
grants precious rewards, not in
wealth alone, but in repose and re-
treShment and DELIGHT.
