Have Left the City However.

Fall River Mass. Sept. lS-The strike OF twenty
six thousand cotton mill laborers which began in

a settlement than at it's outset. Both sides remain
firm the mill owners declaring that 1t is impossible
TO resume operations unless the 122 per cent reduc
ton is made in wages. while the operatives are
inst as determined against working under such con-
ditions.
With winter not far distant. the unions have
already begun husband their resources for the
drain which must then he more severe than in the
summer. The operatives still receiving money
and greater than ever before is used In hand
ling It. The exodus Of foreign operatives has
naturally been large, ard lately many OF the skilled
men have Joined the outgoing army. seeking other
feiis for their labor. OF the foreigners the Portu-
gutse have left in larger numbers, and very few
remain IN the city.
sisent rumor OF a resumption on October 3, but
Friday the weaVers decided to hold mass meeting
on that day, which apparently shows the report to
be without foundation, as far as the operatives are
concerned.

The years we devoted to developing
a So Derby that should wear as well
as any S. hat sold. were not wasted
when we introduced our "a Derby.
The 81 Derby is of finer quality of
course, and its sales have grown stead
ily-as the sales Of all fine merchan-
disc have grown in this prosperous
town.
Indeed it was this growing demand
for the very finest things that can
be made which led us to introduce our
Sc Derby, though we believe that our
$4 hat is a bit better in every way
than most of the s. hats sold.
But through it all the SIS Derby has
been kept right up to its high place as

invest in mere quality"
