Has Purchased 100000 Pieces Of Goods
and Will Stop Reduction in
Fall River Wages.

II Is reported that NJ. c. d. Borden.
owner of the American Print Works and
Iron Works at Fall River, has bought
100000 pieces of cotton goods In that city
at 27s cents. The purchase was made
through Mr.. Borden's regular brokers.
Bassett & Durree. and calls for the ship
nent of 10000 pieces week for 70 weeks.
The signs are now that If there Is a
cut down II will be confined TO COM
paratively few corporations, and this
move on Mr.. Borden's part will cause
even these to hesitate. This action Is not
new on Mr.. Bordens part as he did a
similar thing some years ago.
At that time he announced one day,
through notices posted in his mills, that
wages would be materially advanced at
the time other companies had adver-
tised that they were about 10 reduce
wages, and there was transformation
scene that was remarkable.
Ii was explained little later that Mr..
Borden WIS not actuated by phianthro-
pic motives. but that his estimate of
the situation differed from that of a
majority of the Fall River agents, some

WINGED thal conditions warranted an adj
vance
MIR. Borden may be pursuing similar
policy at this line, and the outcome
will be watched with much interest
In spite OF Mr.. Borden's purchase. how
ever, a story is being circulated i'm Fall
River that the nine treasurers who sign
ed tie agreement TO cut down wages are
still firm. and assert that the conditions
which caused this agreement TO be drawn
up are in no wise changed except per-
haps TO become worse and worse from
day 10 day as the price of cotton goes
up. and the very limited inquiry for print
cloth dwindles entirely out of sight.
The statement is made that the opposi-
tion TO the cut down Is growing stronger
every day. and. IT that Is true IL is
equally true that those treasurers who
have reached a conclusion are day by day
becoming more determined to enforce
that whicA they think is the only rem
edy for the situatlon.s
One OF them, whose name Is withheld
ut his request said today There IS no
change IN the situation. We who have
signed the agreement propose 20 stand
by Il and reduce. as before stated. and
It matters not what price others may care
TO pay. their help"
This covers the situation perfectly from
the standpoint of the members of the ex-
-cutive committee OF the manufacturers

association. The storm OF indigna ton
which their action has raised Is still rag
ing about their heads, but IL has not yet
had the effect OF causing them to re-
consider their former action. Those who
are heartily opposed to the reduction ad-
nit that the committee is strong enough
10 carry its point. only IL was hoped that
they might be shown the error of .leir
way. Instead of being convinced that
they are In error. the members OF the
committee urge that in addition TO the
cut in wages, season OF curtailment
reaching over at least IL weeks be en-
forced
An ingenious explanation of this sug-
gestion comes from man well posted
on the situation. He says that the COM
mittee Is throwing out the additional
curtaiment plan In order TO scare the
operatives into a strike, as II Is well
known fact that even should the help
accept the 10 per cent. reduction, the
mills would then be as badly off as be-
fore, for they could not run, under ex-
listing conditions, and turn off cloth ex-
cept at loss. A strike would benefit
the manufacturers, because ~ would null
lify all existing contracts. and II would
be. after all, a curtailment OF the pro-
duction.
The Hargrnves and Parker mills will
cease night work at the end OF this week
These are the only mills I'm the city which

graves has been running all night for
nearly a year, and the Parker has been
running until 10 o'clock every night ex-
.cept Saturday.

MAY CLOSE SUIT. ALLEGED DECEIT.
Bill In Equity Filed by Nicholas
P. Greens Against John P.
Walker and wife.

The end OF considerable litigation over
land on Gushing street is sought to be
reached by a bill in equity filed by Nicho-
las p. Greene against John p. Walker
and his wife, Eliza S. Walker in the APP
pellate court. Mr.. Greene i'm 1894 bought
some land on Gushing street with Lilly
Walker. They mortgaged the property for
$3.50.
There was a house on the lots and the
house was so situated that Mr.. Greene
owned one half and Lilly Walker the
other half. The two owners sought par
ttion and each under partition proceed
ings had their halves set out to them.
Both mortgaged their respective prop
critics to John s. Palmer Mr.. Palmer la
ter transferred the mortgage to Clara B.
Allen Greene paid all the interest on the
mortgage until September. 1898. No inter-
est was paid after that date by Greene
and Lilly Walker never paid any inter-
est at all
The holder of the mortgage started
foreclosure proceedings and Lilly Walker
sold her property TO Eliza S. Walker. The
latter's husband managed TO get possess
sion OF the mortgage and then Greene
sought to have the mortgage assigned to
a party who would treat him more eauit-
ably he thought than John u. Walker
owing to the relations between him and
the other Walkers. who were or had been
interested.
The court decided that unless both par
ties responsible under the mortgage ask
ed for the assignment IL could not order
one. Mrs. Walker owning one-half the
property was willing her husband should
continue 20 be the mortgage.
MIR. Greene has paid the mortgage note.
