THIRTY THOUSAND
ARE OUT ON STRIKE
Big Labor Walk Out at Fall
River, Mass.
MANY MILLS ARE SHUT DOWN
Strike Order Issued by Fall River Tex
tile Council In Protest Against Re-
duction of Wages Calls Out Large
Number of Operatives.

Fail River, Mass, July 25.-The
strike order issued by the Fall River
Textile council, calling for upwards of
10000 operatives to remain away from
the mills in protest against reduction
of 121a per cent in wages, became eff
fectiye today. In the 81 mills involv.
ed in the agreement to reduce wages,
it is estimated that not more than
800 entered at the gates and before
o'clock practically every mill involved
in the trouble had shut down.
The strikers, who, in some instances,
had assembled near the mills dis
persed quietly.
The only mill having more than a
score of employees ready for work was
the Bourne, where something over 100
weavers had gone in.
The manufacturers kept the gates
open until o'clock, but save those
who had gone in at the usual time,
none Of the workmen accepted the op-
portunity, and by 1880 o'clock practi.
cally every mill save the Bourne had
shut down completely.
Both sides admit that this is the
beginning Of one of the best deter
mined contests which Fall River has
ever seen. The manufacturers main
tain that they have tried every plan
which they could think of to avoid
a reduction in wages, and took that
final step only when driven to do so
to save their businesses.
On the other hand the operatives
say that the conditions affecting cot.
ton manufacture here did not warrant
such reduction.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
General Appropriations Bill To Be Re-
ported "Wednesday.


Atlanta, Ga, July 25.-Whi1e there
are numerous general bills on the
house calendar that viii die with the
present session, it is not likely that
much, if any, of the important and al
most necessary legislation wiN be over
looked by this general assembly.
1t is true the house is opposed to
fixing special orders, and there is a
cry for the calendar every time the
subject is mentioned. This has al
part of the senators who are anxious
to have their measures acted upon by
the house, and members Of the house,
too, have sought in this way to get
their bills up from the heel Of the cal
endar and to have something done
with them before it is too late
Notwithstanding this opposition to
special orders, the house has thus IA
vored quite a number of measures in
the last ten days, and there are three
others yet to come up this week, which
will receive continued consideration
until they are disposed Of. These are
the bills preceding for rotation of the
superior court juadges, to increase the
governors salary, and to equip the
state department of entomology with a
sufficient force to prevent the entrance
of the Mexican boil Weeyil into the
state. Some twenty other bills which
their authors wanted made special
orders were turned down by the house
OF course, every measure is of lu
preme Importance in the eyes Of its
author, but the indications are that
the house is not illiberal enough to
let go by without action any much.
needed legislation.
The general appropriations bill will
be reported to the house on Wednes
day by Chairman Davis, and it is with
in his power to call it up for consider
alton as soon as he sees fit.
The most important matter to come
| before the senate this week is the gen
eral tax act, which may be ready fol
discussion before the week closes.
This measure was transmitted tC
| the senate by the house Immediately
after its passage last week and 10
copies of the bill were ordered print
| ed for distribution among the senators
It is not thought that there will be 6
long delay in the committees consider
alton of the bill and within the next
few days it may be brought up in the
senate.
There are a number of important
matters still before the senate com
mittees, among them being the bill re
| quiring the railroads doing business
in Georgia to incorporate under the
laws of Georgia This is not opposed
| by any but the small narrow -guage
railroads, not now incorporated. The
larger railroad systems say that The
bill cannot affect them, as they have
vested rights that cannot be disturbed
Therefore they are not fighting It's
passage. The bill has already passed
| the house.
The bill under committee censidera
tion to require all railroads hauling
lumber to equip fiat cars used for this
purpose with standards and supports
is being strenuously fought by tht
railroads and zealously favored by the
lumber interests.
Several other measures of more Of
less general interest are ripe for &C
ton and are now lying on the table
in the senate.

strona Protest NAV BE Made.


London July 25.-While no protest
has yet been made against the action
OF the Russian Volunteer fleet steam
er Smolensk in firing two shells over
the British steamer Ardova, if tie Of
fetal report of the government report
bears out the press dispatches. a
strong protest will probably be enter
ed against the Smolensk endangering
the lives of the Ardova's passengers
by the irregular proceeding of the
captain of the Smolensk, custom re-
qu1ring that when vessel at sea re-
fuses to obey the signal Of a warship
to stop, follow it up wit ha solid across
her bows. The captain of the Smo,
lensk, it is stated, might be liable to
a severe penalty for his act, and also
for the transfer Of the Ardova's crew
on board the. Smolensk. But these
collateral questions win be the sub.
ject of mutual negotiations when Great
Britain presents her bill for damages.
The main thing is that so far as the
volunteer fleet steamers are concerned,
the acute stage of the diplomatic cri.
sis has passed it has been decided at
the request Of Great Britain to avoid
the further loss of time not to send
the Malacca to Suda Bay, Island of
Crete, but to release her at Algiers.
The Associated Press has been in.
formed that it is possible there will
be no formal inspection of her cargo
by the Russian and British officials
merely a declaration by the British
consul in behalf of the British gov.
ernment that the munitions on board
the Malacca belong to Great Britain.

There is general relief, however, at

Strong Argument.

One of the strongest arguments of
fered by the opponents Of a general
strike order was that it would pre-.
vent the unions from using one OF their
strongest weapons-that by which they
could prevent the big packers from
doing business and at the same time
give their small rivals the trade The
many commission men and others ac.
tive at the stock yards indorsed this
argument. 1t was urged that If the
unions were anxious to hit the big
packers. hard, the way to do it was tO
refrain from calling out the beef hand.
lers and others employed by the Union
Stock Yards and Transit company,
since, by calling such employees out,
the strikers would deprive the big
packers of only such business as is
lost during the strike. By letting the
handlers work and keeping hands of
the stock yards and transit company
the strikers, it was claimed, would
enable the little butcher to attend to
his business and increase it. There
was no question, it was asserted, that
this increased business would, to a
large extent, remain with the small
packers and butchers.

ers took advantage of this and droves
Of cattle and sheep were driven out
Of the yards When it became known
that the walk-out of the live stock
handlers affected the independent
packers as we'll as those whom the
strike had been called, representatives
of the Independents called on the

for special provision, allowing them

Spread Rapidly.
Meanwhile the sympathetic general
strike had spread rapidly. When the
scale men got word to quit they cool

them having unweighed cattle on the
scales. Nearly all the weighing had
been done, however, and little incon.
venience resulted.
Not all the machinists went out. In
| fact, it is claimed, small majority
responded to the call of their leaders.
The electricians and dynamo men,
however, made large desertions. The
| places of these men were asserted to
have been filled by men, who have been
in the employ of the packers for many
days.
The strike movement soon involved
every craft at the stock yards except.
ing the teamsters Steam filters,
plumbers and box makers, etc, walked
out successfully, these departments
being totally tied up in some instances,
but partially in others.
The strike, although general, was
conducted without the official authori.
zation by the heads of the various
unions, but solely upon the order OF
business agents, who refused to await
the action of the peace conference,
which was still in session.
