Lowell, Mass, June .2.-The textile
council Sunday afternoon declared the
strike in the Lowell mills at an end.
Every union affiliated with the coun-
Gil was represented and the vote was
unanimous. Mule spinners and loom
f1xers were included in this vote, de-
spite statements that they would op-
pose a return to work. When asked
for statement, President Conroy
said:
1--WE now worship at the altar of de-
feat, but later we shall rise again and
conquer"

tary Of the employers said: "It will

ments. 1t is for the selling agents
and the treasurers to decide, in view
Of the market, whether we shall at
tempt to run in full. The strike be-
gan on March 80 and involved about
1900 operatives. The mills were
shut down until June 1, when the
agents opened the gates and the ma.
jority of the operatives went back to
work. The strike has cost in wages
about S1,300,000. 1t is understood
that the agents will take back all the
old help they have room for and will
make no discrimination against the
leaders of the strike movement. The
high price of cotton precluded any
hope of the success of the strikers
campaign for 10 per cent increase"

The Fish Creek bridge has got to

build new road around the head OF

for the consideration Of the flown
board and the town meetings for the

that thoroughfare, but the work was
found SO expensive that it had to be
abandoned. Now a new road-the
one originally planned for last year,
is to be built The contract was let
in two sections, one section to Tom
Moore, the other to Gilbert Olson,
of Pine street.

Operators VIII Complain to ConcIIia.
ton Board About Several Things.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 22.-When
the Cancellation board meets here
Thursday the operators will have
grievances to be adjusted as well as
the miners, and this will be surprise
to many of the latter, who believed
that the coal companies had nothing
to complain Of The operators will
take exception to the many petty
strikes, which are the cause of much
inconvenience and annoyance, also
that the nonunion men are being in
terfered with and that the coal out
put is lessened by the practice of en-
pioyes remaining at home on certain
days without permission. The miners
will offset this with the charge of dis
elimination, that some of the men
active In the strike have not been
given work since, that the award of
the commission has been violated by
change In the condition of mining
at many places, which does not per-
nit the miners to make as much now
BIS before the strike, and that the opera
tors have broken an old custom in the
Schuylkill region by having the men
work an hour longer on Saturday
Among other important questions
which the miners want settled, will
be the reduction Of yardage, check
weighmen, hours Of labor for drivers
and company hands.

 The army maneuvers were first be- gun on large scale year ago. They were participated in by the national guard of many of the states adjacent to Fort Riley. The taking part in them by the national guard was not satis- factory, the citizen sodiery proving lacking in the discipline enforced by the regular army. It was thought at the time that the experiment would not be repeated this year but appIica- tions were made to the war department from variety of sources and finally consent was given for the admission of limited number of national guard Organizations to the maneuvers So Tar only announcement has been made that Texas will take part. That state will furnish three battalions. appIica- tion having been made to the war de- partment early of this week The order of permission was made on the follow ing day.
