BY ARBITRATION
Textile Council Trying to End
Fall River Strike
UNIONS TO VOTE UPON IT
Proposition to Accept as FinSl
Any Decision Made by Mem
bers of Executive Board of
National Civic Federation

Fall River, Mass, Dec. ia def
mite proposition for the settlement OF
the strike in the cotton mills which be-
gan % weeks ago when wages were
reduced 1919 percent, and involved near
ly $4,000 operatives, will be submit
ted to the individual unions for their
approval tomorrow.
In case the unions act fayorably,
and the strike leaders anticipate such
action, the National civic i ederation
will be asked to name a board of aIbi-
tratlOn.
Whether the manufacturers will ac-
cept the arbitration pan is not known.
MI. Borden, the president Of the asSO
citation, states that he does not know
what action will be taken. The arbi-
tration proposition was agreed upon by
the Textile council at three-hour ses-
sion Sunday afternoon and the follow
ing was adopted:
AT Il meeting of the Textile council
held in SpInners' han the following
resolution was adopted, the same to
be submitted to the Textile unions for
their approval or otherwise:
"Whereas, believing in the justice of
our cause, and always favoring the
grand principles of fair arbitration,
and; whereas, realizing that Il continu-
ance of the long and protracted
struggle is detrimental to the best in
terests of our city; be it
"Resolved, that we submit the whole
proposition to the members Of our re-
spective unions, it being identical with
the one submitted to the executive
council of the Cotton Manufacturers
association. All efforts having failed
to effect a satisfactory settlement of
the strike existing in our city, we agree
t. submit the whole subject matter in
dispute to board of arbitration to be
chosen by the National Civic Fedora
ton from it's executive board and agree
to accept their decision as final"
The proposition will be submitted to
the individual unions for vote to-
morrow and the union members alone
will vote, they being lie ones who de-
clared the strike. A two-thirds vote
OF the unions is necessary to adopt the
resolutions, and the labor leaders say
that it is hardly probable that the mem
bers will refuse to accept the PROPOSE
ton.
The leaders take the stand that they
are satisfied to submit the settlement
or tTies slrDItratton and that ~
will hurt the manufacturers materially
if they refuse to accept the plan.

The famous leaning tower Of Pisa Is
by no means the only building which
by accident or design is far out OF
the perpendicular. Some are more or
less well known in Britain. The Tenn
pie church at Bristol, Eng, which, al
though quite intact and faultless with
respect to architectural design, leans
very conspicuously. The church at
Ermington, South Devon, affords an
instance of a spire which is curiously
curved; but. although appearing TO be
in dangerous state, it is perfectly
stable and safe, The very curious
twisted spire at Chesterfield is prob
ably better known than any in Britain,
for one OF the main lines Of railway
passes close to it, and the appearance
Of the building is quite enough to pro
woke remark. The deformity is at
tributed to the fact that the builder
Of the spire used green wood. which
warped with the heat Of the sun and
twisted the erection into its present
corkscrew shape. The historic Monu-
ment Of London. which was built by
Wren to commemorate the great fire
of 1866, not only slopes many feet from
an upright position, but swings in the
wind on breezy days.

A farmer in Barton county, Kan
last year carried into successful opera
tion a plan by which outside help was
done away with. He had two grown
sons, and in September they COM
menced sowing wheat This was kept
up. planting a hundred acres every
month until January. In May his first
crop was ready to harvest, and IN
September he was just rounding out
his harvest and started in to planting
again. Thus he and his sons handled
the entire crop of 500 acres and were
employed the year around. He saved
the expense of twenty hands and his
wheat crop netted him $500 clear
