STATEMENT OF PACKERS.
The Trouble as Viewed By the Em-
 plOyers.

The Trouble as Viewed By the Em-
 plOyers.
 Chicago. July 2s. The packers in. volved in the strike today issued this statement:
 The conference just closed resulted in nothing new being offered. The packers contended that an agreement had been entered into in good fS ith and that while there might have been some confusion in starting the plants, no discrimination was made, nor was the agreement violated by them in any particular.
 They emphasize the fact that the agreement as made by the packers with the officers of the organization was not only approved and signed by large number of the officers of the allied trades. but was submitted to and ratified by the organizations whose members were on strike. and that no possible excuse can be offered for its violation on the part of MT. Donnelly.
 "The agreement provided that each side should name an arbitration board within forty-eight hours after work was resumed and to avoid a question that might arise the following notice was handed to MT. Donnelly at the close of the conference:
 Michael Donelly. Dear Sir.-In ac- cordance with the terms of our con- tract. we tender Samuel A. McClean, Jr., as our arbitrator
 Friday morning the men were or dered back to work; within one hour they were ordered out again at all packing centres from New York to Fort Worth, Tex, the packers not being given an average of fifteen min utes' operation to demonstrate their intention to carry out the agreement fairly.
 "A conference yesterday and contin- uance today resulted in the packers in- sisting that the unions live up to tho agreement as signed and ratified by both sides and their refusal to con- slider a suggestion on the part of Mir. Donnelly that the old agreement be cancelled and a new agreement more favorable to the men out on strike be accepted in its place."

A STATEMENT
BY Fall River Textile
Council as an Answer
To Recent Statement as 10
Wages Paid in That City
And Making a Comparison Favorable
to Fall River.

FAN River. Mass. Nov 2a.-The Tex
Tile Council Friday. issued a long
statement in reply to an article which
recently appeared in the Boston Her
aid and VAS copied by other papers,
showing comparison of wages paid
in this city and elsewhere to the ad-
vantage of Fall River.
The Textile Council claims that the
statement Was unfair. having been
taken from the books of one of the best
paying corporations i'll the city and
nom the pay Of the best operatives in
the corporations mills. The wages of
of mule spinners. loom fixers, speeder-
tenders and weavers are considered
separately. the conclusion being that
more is claimed from the operatives Of
this city than is expected from those
where Wages are as high as those paid
in this city.
The Council urges that q fafrer COM
parison would have been made II the
average wages of all the operatives In
an average mill had been taken and
they say they would welcome such
comparison.
The Council claims that if the pro-
posed reduction goes into effect the
elsewher and that there are centers
price paid fer weaving standard goods
would be l2.13 cent per cut, or about
one-uuarter of a cent per yard, and the
operative challenges the manufacture
ers to show where, North or South,
they are paying as low rate as one
quarter cent per yard.
The mills. Friday morning, report
changes 10 be slightly more favorable
than on Wednesday. The Davis and
Seaconnet are running practically in
full, while the Arkwright. Sycamore
and several others report gains. Many
of the mills shut down. Wednesday. for
the week The manufacturers expected
a falling off. Friday. and are encour
aged at the gains. They look for larg-
er forces of operatives at work, Mon
day.
Rumors have been spread about mills
removing the cutdOwn notices, but
these are denied positively by the mills
named.
