THE KING MILL STRIKE OFF.

So Declared From Fall River, Mass.
From which Point the Strike Was
Instigated and Directed.
Fall River, Mass, Aug 6.--The big
strike of the cotton mill operators at
Augusta, Ca, which was looked upon
as test of the United Textile Work
ers of America, was declared off by
the Executive Committee of that body
this afternoon. The committee met
here and received the announcement
that the strike in the John c. King
mills in Augusta Ga, had ended Aug
1. II was shown that the mills had
secured so much help that 1t was i'm
possible for the strikers to win. This
action ends one of the hardest-fought
battles known to the textile industry
between labor unions and mill owners
in the South.
These operatives went on strike last
April for a 10 per cent. advance in
wages. The United Textile Workers
which had been formed but a short
time before, directed the strike
through its officials in Fall River.
Secretary Hilbert established supply
depots in various parts of Augusta and
operatives in Georgia and the south
ern part of South Carolina went out
on strike in sympathy. The SYM
pathetic strikers afterward re-
turned to work. Something
like $4,000 in all was sent to the
strikers from all over the country.
Members of the committee say that
while the operatives have lost the
strike trade unionism in the South has
received a strong impetus

We're hiding they assaulted him with
pick handles and beat his brains out.
The murdered man told the super
intendent of the mine where he was
employed that some of the strikers had
spoken to him last week, and advised
him that it did not look right to see
him going to work, and that if he was
wise he would quit at once. Sweeney
said he needed employment as his
family was in want. The next day an
other delegation of men met him on
his way to work and told him If he did
not quit work he would be sorry.
Three Foreigners Arrested.

natz Shukie, all foreigners who were

Rome, Aug. 6.-According to infor-
nation received at the Vatican. al
most all the real estate belonging to
Spanish friars in the Philippines was
sold before American occupation to
syndicates and corporations duly regis
tered and legally recognized. headed
by Americans living in New York 1t
is alleged by the ssme authority that
although the friars hold some shares
in these corporations, they do not own
controlling interests. The Vatican is
surprised at this information In view
of Gov Taft's proposition to buy the
friars' lands, which are apparently no
longer in their control. 1t is consid-
cred remarkable that Gov. Taft. fresh
from the Philippines, was not aware
of the situation.
Washington, Aug. 6.--The War De-
partment has known for some time
that portions of the friar lands in the
Philippines have been disposed of to
companies, and all of the recent nego-
tiations conducted by Secretary Root
have carefully taken into account con-
tingencies which might arise through
the friars' transfers. The facts We're
fully communicated to the government
here by Coy. Taft. The latter also
explained this matter of transfer to
the Senate Committee on the Philip
pines. In the course of his evidence
before the committee, Gov. Taft said
in answer to the question whether the
friars We're in actual possession of the
lands
Generally, in order to avoid HOSTILE
ties, they have rendered their titles to
companies and retained the majority
of the stock"
Gov. Taft said the transfers We're
made to facilitate collections of rents.
