STRIKE 0RDERED IN FALL RIVER.

Fall River, Mass, July 20.-Unless

plants, abandon their announced in
tention of inaugurating on Monday
next a new scale of wages which would
reduc. the earnings of their employees
1215 per cent, $1,000 operatives will
stop work following the strike vote
cast tonight by the Textile Workers
union.
BY a vote of 1,510 to 1896 the union
men decided to strike Monday, dis
regarding the suggestion Of the textile
council tha; strike was inadvisable
at this time.
The question of striking was voted
upon at meeting tonight by five sepa-
rate unions of mill workers. Two of
the organizations, the cardels union
and the spinners unon, voted against,
the strike, but they are bound by a
two third vote of the textile workers.
union of which they are members and
will walk out with the weavers, the
loom fxers and the slasher tenders.
1t is the general belief in the city
tonight that the mill owners will re-
consider their decision to reduce wages
and so avoid strike. This belief is
based on the argument of the union
leaders that the cotton and cloth
markets are in such conditions that a
shut down at this time would be
ruinous to the manufacturers.

operatives, who last night voted to
strike on Monday next rather than sub
NIT to 10 1-2 per cent. reduction in

at any time since the announcement by
the mill owners. Operatives tonight
made the statement that with II 1-2
per cent. reduction the wages of many
of the employees would be as low as

At the manufacturers meeting this

had been stopping and where he was
breathing his last.
Mr.. Blair was not conscious and
could not recognize his wife.
There were three physicians with
Mr. Blair at the time, but all hopes
had been abandoned on Thursday
night when the consultation of ply
sicians determined that he was affiict-
ed with congestion OF the brain, which
had been threatened since his arrival
at Eustis, but which his physicians
had hoped that they had succeeded
in warding on.

coming seriously affected and that a

tending the man urged the coming of

JAPAN REJECTS ZONE
PROPOSAL BY RUSSIA

Must Yield or Fight.

Washington: Information conveyed
to the State Department Thursday
points directly to the conclusion that
Japan has determined to fight for her
contentious as to Manchuria and Ko-
rea unless the Russian government
mobiles it's present position. No hope
is held In administration circles that
Russia win recede from the stand
taken in her last note, and war is re-
garded as inevitable. That efforts

partment knows to be n fact
Mobilization of the Russian attitude

continuance OF peace.
Mr.. Yakahira, the Japanese minis

Secretary Hay, to whom he explaiped
fully the attitude of his government

gestlons.

note and the japanese response there

eminent Thursday morning. Japan,
in this communication, declines to
make any further concessions and
suggests notifications in the Russian
proposals which she regards as abso-
lutely necessary in the safeguarding
Of her interests In both Manchuria
and Korea.
The position assumed by Japan is
that she must refuse to accept thhe
Russian proposal that neutral zone
embracing nearly one-third Of Korea
be established and must insist upon
the maintenance of the territorial in
tegrity Of both China and Korea
although willing to recognize Russia's
