LOWELL OPERATIVES WILL
CONTINUE THEIR STRIKE

LOWELL, Mass, May 29--Two meet
ings of striking operatives was held yes
terday to test the sentiments relative
TO returning TO work At the meeting OF
the ring spinners. action was taken
which was unanimous in maintaining the
strike The weavers met and while no
vote was taken. the sentiment was so
manifestly unanimous for holding out
that no vote was necessary.
The textile council officers are making
strong effort to keep up the feeling
against returning TO work. Most OF
them, in speaking of the reopening, say
the contest has only begun and they are
confident they can prevent the mills
from getting help enough TO run.
Outside the union opinion differs on
this point. II is possible that test
vote will be taken Sunday on the ques-
tfon of returning TO work or declaring
the strike OF, but ii is already apparent
from the action and known sentiment
OF the individual unions that such test
vote would be practically unanimous n
fagor Of keeping up the strike.

Three OF the students in the advanced
class in law aand Jurisprudence at CO.

their intention to appear upon the stage
and take their degrees as doctors of
civil law, whether Mrs. Emma Reba
Bailey is awarded a similar degree at
the same time or not. The three are
Alfredo Alvarez Calderon. Luther NJ
Walter, and Alexander w. Kent.
They have decided to stand by the de-
cision of the faculty. right CT wrong
What the other four members of the
class will do remains to be seen. The
degrees will be conferred on the grad
yates next Tuesday night.
A Wrong Impression
The students have had the impression
that several members of the faculty
among whom was President Needham
were on their side in the struggle.
They based this belief upon the fact
that Mrs. Bailey gained entrance to the
Columbian Law School by appealing to
the board of trustees. and they have been
under the impression that the trustees
have been influential in obtaining a de-
gree for her.
President Needham, however, says
that the faculty is unanimous in its de-
cision to give Mrs. Bailey her degree
and that the only connection the board
O. trustees had with the matter was &c

found herself in the midst of a swirling
array of fire engines, hook and ladder

engineer of the Fire Department dashing
by at a furious gallop did not disconcert
her, however, and she guided the ma
chine skillfully past all teams and OBJ
stacles In the way.
In front of the city postoffice Miss
Roosevelt made slight detour as she
heard changing bells directly back OF
her and in a moment huge truck dash

into the center of the street, the water
tower from the same fire station came
