THREATENED VIEWERS STRIKE
Manufacturer M. G. D. Borden Inter-
viewed on the Cotton Cloth
Situation.
(By Associated Press.)


New York, Oct. 9.-As the situation is
at present, NJ. C. D. Borden, the cotton
cloth manufacturer does not expect the
$4,000 operatives in the manufacturers
association of Fall River mills to strike
on Oct. q for five per cent raise in
wages. as has been threatened.
Mr.. Borden, who does not belong to the
association. in an interview gives his side
of the controversy as follows:
"CnfOrt Inately the manufactu
seem to feel that they are opposing one
man, and I seem to be that man. That
is big mistake, for it is condtionA not
methods that confront them. Six weeks
ago print cloth was selling at S-S cents
per yard. A cut Of IA per cent in wages
was threatened. The operatives said
they would strike and wages We're not
cut. Now prices are 20 per cent higher
than then. There Is a strong demand,
with three cents steady as the price;
a threatened cotton crop failure and cot
ton itself higher and if the manufactur-
ers refuse to grant a five per cent in
crease October o. they will do SO out OF
stubbornness in the face OF every argu-
ment against them. 1t will be inconsist-
ent. @ rar 60"
'They said the other day. 1t is all
very Well Tor BCrden TO oher D CENTS 1oi
spot print CLOTH but he knows there is
nope to be had Well, then l went into
the market and offered 3 cents for fu-
lures as far ahead as four months and
they refused to make contracts with me.
They are subordinating the real issue

mand-to a contest between capital and
labor on a paltry per cent increase IN
wages. when prices have gone up 20 per

THE PACIFIC ABLE.


New York, in. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Con
sui General Bray, at Melbourne, Aus
tralia, has informed the state depart
ment that the postmaster general OF
Victoria has accepted the bid for laying
the Pacific cable at a cost of sS.735, 367,
the installation and surveying to cost
1892, 766 extra.
According to the contract the cable
is to be completed and in working order
by July 81, 1902. The Australian sec.
ton comprises cables from the New
South Wales and New Zealand coasts
to Norfork islands and thence to Fiji.
The other section will be from Fiji to
Tanning island, and thence to Vancou-
yer, B. C. When completed it is antic-
ipated this cable will NATURALLY reduce
the existing charges to the United
States.
The route decided upon is from Van
couver, by way of Tanning or Palmyra
island, Fiji and Norfolk island, with
branches from the last-named station
to Auckland, New Zealand and Queens
land. The length of the cable over
this route would be (allowing 10 per
cent for slack" actually used). 1886
nautical miles, a follows:
Vancouver to Tanning island, 1861
miles; Tanning island to Fiji, 1908
miles; Fiji to Norfolk island, 961 miles;
Norfolk island to New Zealand, 537
miles, and Norfolk island to Queens
land, S34 miles. Some /, 900 soundings
over 500 fathoms in depth have been
made, which relate directly to the route
along the bed of the ocean, the great
est depth being 1900 fathoms, but the
general average is much less.
1t is estimated that with the use of
$50 pounds of copper and 400 pounds of
gutta percha, 1910, 900 words might be
transmitted in a year. Great Britain
and Canada have agreed to defray five
ninths of the total cost: New leland
one-eighth and New South Wales,
Queenland and Victoria have pledged
themselves to contribute the remainder
between them. AS to the revenue to
be derived from the cable, it is antici-
pated that the return for the first year,
on a tariff of 40 cents a word, will be
s534,376. and that by the fourth year of
its working the cable will become a
paying oncern. 1t has been proposed
to charge 10 cents a word for messages
right through-that is, crossing Cana
da and the Atlantic, in addition to the
Pacific cable section.
