MAILED A BABY BoY.-The post
Office employees at the Union Station
sub.ststion at Indianapolis found q
strange package among the Christmas
packages when they came to as5ort
them at midnight Tuesday night for
the waiting trains in the station. All
the Offices were crowded Tuesday aud
many packages we're posted at the sub
station. When the employees came TO
assert them they found q basket on
which there was no address and no
stamp, and none OF the men could 70.
member taking 1t 10. Examination
showed that 1t was covered over with
linen. When turned to one side small
bottle of milk fell out. This led to the
opening OF the basket, and boy baby,
probably q week old, was found neatly
wrapped up In fannels and sleeping
soundly. Another bottle of milk wss
found In the basket.
The police were called and took
charge of the infant, but the post Office
employees are at loss to know how Ii
got into the Office. 1t is Supposed,
though, that the mother put 1t through
the window or quietly entered the
room while the men were busy and
deposited the basket with the packages,
which were piled in heap on the a,or.
The station police say they saw q
woman near the sub-station just before
the basket was found, but nothing
about her attracted particular atten-
ton,

tives. know that; Mr.. Borden succinctly
stated the case and plainly worded
some facts the association hoped would
rot be brought 10 the attention o. the
public.
Tho manufacturers were far more
deeply concerned In Mr.. Bo-den'y pos!-
ton than were the operatives. Men,
bers OF tho executive committee OF the
Manufacturers Association while In ses-
sion were shown the interview. AMI Il
had the effect OF bombsheil and has
aroused a great deal OF resentment. The
members say that Mr.. Borden's asser-
ton that tho manufacturers want to
prec!pate a strike is untrue. His inter-
Wow leaves the impression that the
majority OF manufacturers are inclined
to cut wages without cause con-
sidered adequate and Justihabie. This
Is resented by the operators.
Blu, while much criticism Is being
passed upon Mr.. Borden. 1t is generally
admitted that tho operators will hold
another meeting next Monday for the
purpose OF moderatinE their terms.
1t Is the general feeling to-day tina:
publicity OF their schemes will force
the association to reccdc from Its un-
tcnab!e position. and later on TO ndop,
one or the other OF the plans which the
mill workers will accept.
They will not do this at once. how
ever. They are s,i!l trying to secure
the signatures OF mill owners 10 the
agreement to reduce. and they will
secure tho requisite 10000 spind!e..
Later on they are expected TO rcccde
unless the extremists who started the
attack on the payroIls continue to con-
troll.
As result OF the expose the 1900
cotton mill operatives are almost certain
to win their tight against the cotton
manufacturers association In the pro-
posed cut OF Is per cent. In wages.
In lieu OF the proposed cut the manu-.
fncturers will likely have to adopt one
OF two plans
First-'ro shut down the mile
until the surplus stock Of print
goods has been worked OF.
SrconL-To rus the mills four
days each week until tho buying
orders Justify running full force
and full time.
Either OF these two plans will ne &C.
cepted By tho operatives, although either
cxpedieut would work hardship TO them.
But they will not ask the association
to adop, either plan. They will ask for
no conference. but will meet the mill
men II they are requested TO.
