NO STRIKE AT FALL RIVER.
MR.. BORDEN STEPS IN AND PREVENTS
REDUCTION OF WAGES.
IRr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1srx

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRlBCSEI
Fall River Mass, Aug. 22.-It has been the
general impression here for time past that
the question of wage reduction and the strike
that was sure to follow would be settled to-
day, and the impression has become fact.
That there would be no reduction of wages was
foresore conclusion. and surprised nobody.
but it not expected that relief from the
strain in the print cloth market would follow
so closely on the heels of the settlement of the
labor question. There public announce
ment that the reduction of wages had been
abandoned. 1t was not necessary. Mr.. Borden
settled the whole matter definitely this IN
his usual manner by offer to buy all the
regulars on the market at 212 cents. advance
OF sixteenth of cent above the last quota
tion. II is currently reported that Mr.. Borden
secured 100000 pieces at 214 cents yard The
price of odd goods advanced Immediately after
ward to 29-16 cents yard under an active
demand from other parties besides Mr.. Borden.
and what Is now hoped to be a boom in the
cloth market has set in.
AS former occasions when Mr.. Borden
stepped in to relieve the Fall River market OF
its huge surplus. the accurate foresight of that
print cloth king has been vindicated by ad-
vance in price If the mill workers had good
reason to feel thankful to MIR. Borden yesterday
for causing the failure of the wage reduction.
the mill operators have equal reason to-day TO
thank that same individual for the unexpected
rise in the price of the goods they manufacture.
They may not show their gratitude quite as ef-
fusively as the laboring class of this city has
done, but they owe him thanks nevertheless.
While the manufacturers concede that all talk
of a reduction is for the present laid at rest
there are not few who still believe the matter
to be only temporarily settled. They think the
question will come up again before the year is
out, in spite of the advance in the price OF
ha of lie
known quantity and. should II be a short one
as now seems possible. the price OF the raw ma
terial Will he as high II last year. This
Will bring the mills face to face with a condition
worse than the they have Just met and IL
Will be simply impossible TO the mills on
the present basis.

The Senator is anxious TO secure harmony, but
he will find that there be no harmony without

NORFOLK AND WESTERN CONTROL.
SAID TO HAVE PASSED FROM PENNsYL-
VANrA TO GOULD INTERESTS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-'The North American"
tomorrow will say that control of the Norfolk
and Western has passed out Of the hands of the
Pennsylvania Railway and IS formally in the
grasp OF the Gould interests.
This was announced yesterday as fact. and
will probably occasion as great surprise in finan-
cial and railroad circles any similar an
nouncement made this year.
The Gould interests. II is asserted. now hold
an actual majority of the capital stock Of the
Norfolk and Western. It is believed that the
Pennsylvania interest Is about SloooooUO out
of the S23 100000 preferred stock. and $1,000
600 out of the s66, 100000 common stock.
The Gould party began. 1t is said, by purchas-
ing the foreign holdings Of Norfolk and West
ern stock, following this by quietly picking UP
the floating shares in the New-York market
Control of the Norfolk and Western will be
used by George J. Gould TO further the inter
ests of his railroad system If the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will withdraw opposition TO the
Wabash in Pittsburg and agree not TO tnWart
Gould in his effort TO get an Atlantic seaDoard
outlet the recently acquired interest in the Nor
folk and Western will be surrendered at price
which is fair. This is the latest Of series of
strategic moves by the Gould group to the end
of forcing Eastern outlet
1t is believed that President Cassatt OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad viii decline to make any
compromise with the Gould party which would
be disadvantageous TO the Pennsylvania He

pected to take the immediate direction or Things

a new railroad across Pennsylvania TO Phila-
