state Board Of Arbitration Finds In Favor
OF the Viii Owners.

BosroS, April 22.-The State Board Of
Arbitration. which has been investig eating
the textile strike In the seven Lowell cot
ton mills, has prepared a report of it's
work and tonight 1t was given out. The
board finds in favor of the corporations,
except in the case OF the Lawrence mill
which has been operating it's hosiery knit
ting department right along. The report
consists Of about 25,0O0 words.
The board found from its Investigations
Of the books Of the seven concerns that the
earnings were not sufficiently large to
justify the increase of 10 per cent. de-
manded by the strikers. except with regard
10 the Lawrence mill 1t also found that
the claim Of the strikers that the cost Of
living had Increased rs per cent. while
wages had remained at a standstill was not
justified by the facts. These two facts
were what the mill agents brought up in
trying TO persuade the operatives not to
strike.
President Conroy of the Textile Council
at Lowell says that the Investigation was
farce and that such report was just what
he expected.

regard To the bearing OF the document re-
Gently discovered by NJ Jaure,, Socialist
member Of the Chamber OF Deputies. on
the alleged note by Emperor william. In
which Dreyfus was mentioned as having
furnished certain documents TO the German
Army.
Dreyfus's letter has caused sensation.
1t fills several columns OF small type, and
sets forth detailed statements which form
a sequel to NJ Jauress recent revelations
in the Chamber of Deputies. The writer
says that ever since he regainrd his free
dom he has been gradually collecting evil
dence for the purpose of obtaining a legal
revision Of his trial. pursuing that one aim,
preserving silence and disdaining calum-
mics. In the course Of the letter Dreyfus
eloquently reviews the sufrerings he has
undergone.
Legal opinion inclines TO tho view that
Dreyfus erred in appealing TO the Ministry
of War. and that he ought to have applied
to the Ministry Of Justice, through which
only Ia revision obtainable. and which
could not hesitate to order an inquiry il
approached In regular manner.
1t is believed that Gen. Andre, Minister
OF War. will submit the letter TO the Cabinet.
and in view of the recent answer of the
Government in the Chamber 10 NJ Jaures
1t is not expected that an inquiry will be
refused.
