CHICOpEE is ANXIOUS.
Strike in Sympathy With Lowell Op
eratives Not improbable.

Chicopee, Mass, March 27.-If the
local Textile Workers Union continues
to stand by the action of the Lowell
unions, there may be a strike in the
mills of the Chicopee Manufacturing
Co. and the Dwight Manufacturing Co.,
Monday, unless the demand for a 10
per cent. increase is met. An advance
is considered hardly probable, the mill
agents standing firm in Their determi-
nation of closing down rather than
yield. Both sides refuse to talk until
the action of the Lowell people is made
known.
Both corporations make goods SINH
lar to the class of fabrics manufacture
ed at Lowell, and like the Lowell mills
have their head offices at Boston. A
demand was made for an advance some
time ago, and it is understood that
had the Lowell treasurers consented to
an advance in their mills. the Chico
pee mills would have taken similar ac-
ton. About 1000 operatives are en-
ployed in Chicopee, a large number OF
whom are Poles.

AT HAVERHILL.
Arbitration and Plan by Socialist:
Being Considered.

| Haverhill, Mass, March 27.-Two
distinct attempts are being made by
different factions to bring about a set
tlement of the local shoe strike situa-
ton, but no material progress has been
made as yet. The plan which is really
in its infancy, is to submit the question
involved to arbitration, following out
the plans adopted in Lynn.
Another plan, which emanates from
the Socialists of the city, is the hold
ing of conferences between representa-
tives of both the Boot and Shoe Work
ers' Union and the Shoe Workers Pro-
tective Union with a view of reaching
some proposition which can be sub
mitted to the rank and file of the mem
bers of the union for action. How
ever, it developed, today, that a secret
conference was held, last night, in
Foresters' hall at which representatives
of both unions were present and the
situation was discussed for three
hours.
1t is stated that o committee was Sc
lected to draft a proposition to be sub
mitted at q mass meeting which will
held in City hall at some future date,
when the situation will be threshed
over openly. The strikers, however,
and leaders of the Independent union,
do not favor this plan, and at a mass
meeting of the strikers, today, it was
stated that not a single striker was
present at the conference and that not
| a man had been invited.
Aside from one break in the ranks of
the strikers, not man has returned to
work since the inception of the strike,
10 weeks ago today.

and Haverhill.

Lynn. Mass, March 27.-Judge John w.
Berry of the Lynn police court, who is
conducting arbitration negotiations on be-
half of the Union Stamp Shoe Manufac-
turers with Master Workman l.. Boynton
Armstrong of the Knights of Labor, had
another conference with MIR. Armstrong.
this afternoon. A proposition mad pre-
viously been submitted by Judge Berry
that was acceptable to Mr.. Armstrong
with the exception of the clause relating
to the reinstatement of the cutters and
stitehers who went ;s on e{ tbat mat o,o,s
must provide that all the old employees
must be reinstated without discrimina-
ton and that there must be no question
as to their joining the union.
Judge Berry, this afternoon, submitted
the proposition in a modified form and
reading as follows: Ihat pending, CON
sideration and declsioIl by a commission
10 factories originally involved, and the
old employees shall have the. preference
and shall return to work as they may be
required by the employers. Until de-
cision shall be reached all vacancies shall
be filled by old employees who wish to re
turn to work
Mr.. Armstrong stated that the PROPOSE
ton was the most satisfactory of any yet
presented to him and that he would take
it under consideration. He suggested that
Judge Berry have a Idrther conference
with the stamp anat tI,at tbes as ne
tons had the backing Of the manufacture
ers as body. Judge Berry assured Mr.
Armstrong that he would endeavor to
have another conference with the manu-
facturerS.
The feeling that some, way Of settling
the difficulties by arbitration grows
stronger from day to day

said that the Haverhill manufacturers had
made overtures looking to settlement by

FAVOR INVESTIGATION.
Lowell Mill Owners Think Operatives
Would Have Eyes Opened,

Boston, March 27.-Arthur LYMAN,
who is prominently connected with the
management and ownership of several
Lowell mills, was asked, tonight, about
the proposition of the State Board of
Arbitration, and said
There was an offer from members
of the State Board of Cancellation.
That is, l believe it came through the
agents. The board said they were
willing to investigate the matter. OF
course, we should be very glad to have
the board make an investigation. We
should be willing, too, that the mills
all be kept running for a week or two
While it was going on. We do not feel
that whatever they should decide would
be accepted by US"
"Then the offer was declined ?" it was
suggested.
mo" said Mr. Lyman, eve did not
decline the offer. We replied as l have
said. You understand, we think a
great deal of good might come of this
investigation. We are willing the
board should look into the matter and
make report to the public Possibly
if they showed wherein it was inpos-
sible for the mills to grant the 10 per
cent. increase, the operatives might be
willing to continue as at present.
Should the board report in favor of
the advance would that make any diff
ference?" Mr.. Lyman was asked.
NO" he replied, ''as have said. we
are willing to have this investigation"
But you will not accept any final
decision of the arbitrators?"
mo, think that is aboutsit," was the
response. ~

FEAR.
How an Annoying Feeling May be
Overcome.

Overcome.
Fear is always a lack of courage.
one may be absolutely fearless when
facing real danger, but a perfect cow
ard about trifiing matters. Many
people fear to be in a crowded hall, and
frequently, and unnecessarily, leave
some enjoyable affair and return home.
thousands fear lightning to such an
alarming extent, that during a thun-
der storm they become i'll. Fear of this
character isoraused by a nervousness
brought on chiefly by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder.
A further proof that these organs
are diseased, is ascertained by depos-l
ting a small quantity Of urine in a
glass tumbler and after Standing
twenty-four hours you find it fony or
milky in appearance; if it has a sedi-
ment; if your back pains you, and you
often have a desire to urinate during
the night, and pains accompany it's
passage; it's the strongest kind of evil
dence that your kidneys and bladder
are diseased and the very strongest
reason why you should not delay in
