TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE
First Test of Strength Will Come
Monday.
All Hope Of n Peaceful settlement
Has Now Been Abandoned
on Both slider.

Fall River, Mass, July 25.-With
hope of a peaceful settlement aban-
doned, both sides in the pending indus
trial trouble here await with dogged
determination the coming of Monday,
and the first test Of strength between
q little group Of manufacturers repre-
senting a combined capital Of $25,OOO,-
600 on one side ana more than 20, 200
cotton mill operatives on the other.
The mill gates will be opened at the
usual time Monday morning, and the
operatives will be given an opportunity
to go to work under a wage reduction
OF 1914 per cent. IF an insufficient
number responds, the mills Will be
closed for an indefinite period. The
strike leaders were Of the opinion that
there would not be enough operatives
applying for work throughout the en-
tive city to run ever ore mill, to say
nothing of those that are more or less
affected by the strike order.
The manufacturers claim that the q
600 men who voted to strike do not
represent the sentiment of the great
body of cotton mill employees. They
give the total number Of operatives on
their pay roll as $3.50. This of course
does not include the employees al the
independent mills Of NJ. ID. G. Borden,
which arc not involved. The talk o.
the streets indicated hat the feeling
against the manufacturers is quite as
bitter among the ~nOn-union operatives
as it Is among those who are affiliated
with the labor organizations.
John Golden, president Of the United
Textile Workers Of America, the leader
of the strike, has cautioned the opera
tives not to go real the mills Monday.
Many wild threats have been made by
an uninfuential class of workers, but
violence is not expected.
The only possible break in the ranks
of the strikers is looked for at the
Borden city mills. These mills, which
normally employ 775 operatives, have
not been operated IN full time for two
months, and the people who were en-
plOyed there are reported desperate
from want.
Regarding the %non-union element,
the strike leaders believe that if It can
be demonstrated for two weeks that
the n%on-union operatives can live on
strike benefits as well as If not better
than on the wage paid by the mills.
the strike can be prolonged indefinitely.
The police have made only little
preparations for handling the crowds
of strikers, but officers will be sta
toned at the mill gates.
Several small stores, ~patrOnized
chiefly by the operative, have been
Obliged 10 close, owing to the abrupt
falling off of trade, and on all sides

st. Petersburg. July 25.-The re-
ported appearance of japanese cruisers
and transports off Yinkow, coupled
with foreign kilograms telling Of heavy
fighting in that region, bear out the in
timatiOn conveyed in the mutilated
dispatch from Tatchekiao that serious
movements have been undertaken by
the japanese to gain this coveted base
on the northwest coast. 1t should be
pointed out that there is an apparent
conflict between the dispatch from
TatchekiaO and that received from
Lao Yang under date Of July %, say
ing that all was quiet at Yinkow on
that date, but 1t is possible that owing
to the pressure on the telegraph at the
front, there may have been a confu-
sion Of dates.
Should it develop that the japanese
are now making a determined attack
IN Yinkow, It would throw fresh light
on the heavy land movements of the
Japanese to the northwest within the
past few days.

REPUBLICANS
FOR STATEHOOD
Says W. H. DarrOugh, Though
No Plank in the Platform
SO States.

Marshal ". II. Darrough has re-
turned from the Chicago convention
and In response to a question by a re-
porter for the Chieftaln with refer
ence to the failure OF the convention
to embody a statehood plank In the
platform, said:
'sIn response to your question as to
TO the recent Republican convention
at Chicago viii say that / am very
much disappointed that we were un-
able 10 secure plank In the platform
declaring for single statehood for Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory. The
disposition Of the members Of the
committee on resolutions was to keep
out as many unnecessary features that
the Republican party was already COM
mitted to, such as statehood for Okla
homa and Indian Territory, the Chin
ese exclusion act, and matters OF this
kind. AS member OF this committee
found that we had nc support III
pressing the statehood matter outside
Of Oklahoma Territory, as the mem
bers from New Mexico and Arizona
preferred to remain just as they are
than 70 have single statehood for those
two territories, and they refused TO
give US any assistance along this line
leaving Mr.. Lowery, the member Of
the committee from Oklahoma and
myself to fight the battle.
I'VE have the assurance, publicly
stated on the floor Of the committee
room, from different senators and rep
resentatiyes on this committee, that
Oklahoma aud Indian Territory viii
undoubtedly be made state, possibly
during the next session Of congress.
I'VE were given every assurance Of
the early admission to statehood, but
the committee did not desire to en-
cumber the platform with these side
issues which the party has repeatedly
committed Itself to, and expects to
carry out, and Is carrying out. | ex-
pressed myself TO the committee that
l had all confidence In their doing
this for US, and believe It would have
been satisfactory to the two terrific
ries, could they have been present
and heard these public declarations by
the members Of both houses Of con-
gress on the floor Of the committee
room. But at the same time ex-
pressed 20 them that Il was difiicutlt

other hand the platform would and
cauld be read By all the residents OF
the two territories Eith great deal
Of satisfaction, II these declarations
were in the platform.
