tSf TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBUNE-I
Washington, Sept 24.-It can be stated on the
highest authority that President Roosevelt has
authorized no one to define his position upon
any public question since his succession TO the
presidency. Beyond reiteration of his declar-
alton. made at the time the oath of Office was
administered to him. that he would carry out
anbroken the Mckinley policy the President
1as spoken to no one with regard to his inten-
tons in detail Therefore. the reports spread
broadcast over the cou=try that ii Is his purpose
to give the subject of reciprocity the leading
place in his message to Congress in December,
and that he is going to push that question to
the front with all the vigor and resources at his
command. can be considered wholly gratuitous
and entirely based upon assumption.
With none of his official advisers or close
friends has the President discussed this theme
at all since entering Upon the discharge of his
duties So far anybody is authorized to
speak for him. It would be quite as correct to
say that he intends to oppose reciprocity at
every turn as to assert that it Is his purpose to
dwell with unusual emphasis upon reciprocity

Is not yet known that President Roosevelt will
refer at all TO this subject in his first message.
he mas told General Wood, the Military Gov

than this he has not gone in discussing the rec

FALL RIVER OPERATIVES OVERLOOKED
GENERAL INCREASE EXPECTED
tBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBuNE.I

E.I
Fall River. Mass, Sept 24-Notices were
posted in all departments of the iron works
mills to-day announcing the three thousa nd
employees that an increase in wages of ; per cent
will go into effect October l. They were
signed by VI. c. d. Borden A short time after
they appeared. news of the increase was known
in every mill office in town. The effect was
somewhat sensational. Coming so closely upon
the failure of manufacturers to reduce wages
because Mr. Borden would not support the move
the announcement brought rare joy to the OPERA
tives. Business men felt happy as the opera
tives. for il only a month ago that they
stood in the shadow of a IL per cent reduction
or prolonged strike, either of which would
have ruined trade for the winter.
Mill men scarcely know how to view the in
crease. Some believe that the light trading of the
last week has led Mr. borden TO fear that some
mill men may cut prices. and therefore cause him
to lose heavily on the specula tions with which he
relieved the market a few weeks ago. Those
who know Mr.. Borden best have no such senti-
ments. They say that it is a business move pure
and simple shown by the fact that in the notice
he saws he does this because of the estsb sbIished
advance in the price of cloth. The few manu-
facturers who talked to-day said that Mr. ROr-
den'S action did not mean general advance
here, but 1t is predicted that shortly after Octo
ber l every mill in Fall River and in other
manufacturing centres well. will be benefited
by the New Workers. latest move.
a meeting of the textile council, made I'D of
representatives of all textile unions, has been
called for tomorrow night, and il is believed
that the session will result in demand upon
all manufacturers for a similar increase Their
demand will be strengthened by the fact that

evening announced an increase of per cent to
