WILLIAMS MAY BE
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
The Temporary Organization May
BE Made Permanent.

st. Louis, July 5.-The permanent
chairman of the convention has not yet
been decided upon, and there seems to
be no disposition to meddle with the
prerogative Of the Committee on Per-
manent Organization. The names most
frequently suggested are those OF
Champ Clark of Missouri and Pat
rick A. Collins of Boston.
There is a strong and growing senti-
ment in favor of making the tempo
rary organization permanent and all
lowing John Sharp Williams to pre-
side over the convention from start to
finish.
Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee
has been mentioned in connection with
the position, but the movement in his
behalf Is not especially energetic.

COTTON STRIKE NAY END.
Fall RiUer Manufacturer Bugs
Much Rae Material.

Fau River. Mass. Sept. 2O--The first intiTna-
tion of a settlement of the strike in the cotton
mills in this city, which began on July %. came
to-day when it became known that one or the
manufacturers had bought large quantity OF
raw cotton to be delivered the latter part OF
October and that other manufacturers were Try
ing TO place similar orders.
1t is the general belief that any settlement OF
the strike within the next two or three weeks
will be in favor of the operatives. The cotton
market is stronger, the stock OF manufactured
goods is low there is a continuous demand for
textiles. and the finished stock will command
better prices. thus enabling the manufacturers
to operate the factories without reducing the
wages Of the employees
The strikers still express their determination
not to return TO work under the wage reduc-
tiop of 1212 per cent which was the cause OF
the strike. The leaders of the strikers say that
the only condition under which the operatives
will return to work is the tearing down OF the
notices of the wage reduction which were posted
IN all the mills affected by the strike. There
is little talk Of compromise. Both sides realize
that the strike far has been merely skir-
the approach OF winter the strikers will find
II moro difficult to earn living outside the
NILS. ana the manufacturers also Will lose
large and profitable amount Of business unless
the mills can be operated. The strike leaders
declare that all propositions for a conference or
compromise will have 10 come from the manu-
iacturerS.
