The strike Of Fail River. Mass.
cotton mill operatives Is nov in its
twenty-third week with apparently no
better prospect Of adjustment Than at
its beginning. The operatives want
better wages. and the mill owners
claim that they cannot pay better
wages so long as the operatives Of
southern mills work longer hours for
less pay. Up to this time, the strikers
have spent ss5o,OOo mi their fight. OF
this amount, 100000 came from the
treasury Of the union and the balance
came from the American Federation
Of Labor. The only hope the strikers
seem to have In view is a favorable
turn In the cloth market. The city Of
Fall River has suffered tremendously
as the result Of the strike the bank
clearings>cr last week being only $780,
oS7 against $1,117,ssS in the cores
ponding week Of last year.
A New York correspondent Of the
Chicago Record-Herald claims to
know what he is talking about when
he says that Thos. W. Lawson has in
his possession documents that incrimi-
nate John D. Rockefeller, H. H, Rog-
ers and others Of the Standard OIL
crowd. He says these documents
came into the possession of the Boston
SPECTATOR during the period that Law
son was Intimate with the members
OF the system. He goes on to say that
as to whether Lawsons motives are
patriotism or revenge, 1t is really diff
ficult to determine, and this will pro-
badly never be known. II Lawson
really has the thumb screws on his
enemies, they will be able to get out
Of his clutches only by acceding to
such terms as he may see At to i'm
pose. II an agreement is reached
whereby Rockefeller Rogers & Co.,
give up large sum of money for the
incriminatine documents, that will be
the end Of the AFFAIR in so far as the
public will be able to get to the bottom
Of It. II, however, Rockefeller and
others fail to come to terms, Lawson
will probably carry his exposures to
the bitter end.
