STRIKE RECORDS SMASHED.
Fall River, Mass Operatives Are Be-
ginning on 18th Week Of strike.


Fab River, Mass, Nov. ss.-With all
strike records smashed, both as TO
length and the number OF hands in
yolved, the 18th week OF idleness in the
local mills ended Saturday, but still
without sign Of any break or Of nego-
tiations likely to lead to any settlement.
The manufacturers fatty declare they
cannot pay anything more than the re-
duced scale of wages, and the help Just
|as persistently declare that they will
never 60 back till the notices come down.
Leading manufacturers profess to
have less disposition to concede any
thing than they did some time ago, be-
cause OF the success which they claim
Is attending the efforts to open the mills
IN spite Of the strike Opinions differ
as TO the success attendant on this plan
Of breaking the strike. The Seaconnet
and Davis have passed the debateable
stage and are believed to he on fair
running basis. The Arkwright and King
Philip, and possibly the Anacona, are
eredibly reported to be approaching the
same condition.
But with the other mills the showing
Is extremely slim; the manufacturers
say it is encouraging, and the strikers
lust as forcefully claim it il d farce.
However, prospects are that the expert
ment win be continued next week and
mill men look for steady gains.
It cannot be denied that the success
Of some Of the mills in this respect has
caused much discomfort among the help,
and that in many quarters may Be
found operatives who are convinced that
their best interests win be served BY
returning to work. 1t would not be
surprising if the opening Of the third
week Of this attempt would find consid.
erable accessions to the ranks OF re-
turning operatives. The mill manage
mont il doing everything possible to
encourage help to return and to make
oppressive the affairs Of those who will
not return
