NO INCREASE IN WAGES.
Governor Douglas Findings in Fall
River Strike Settlement
J. NJ. QUINN.

Boston, May 1S.-In a statement is.
sued during the day Governor Douglas,
as referee in the settlement Of the
Fall River textile strike of 1904, finds
that a partial restoration of wages is
not warranted. When the strike was
settled in January last through Gov
ernor Douglas Intervention he was en-
powered to fix a margin of profit at
which operatives would receive an in
crease of wages. The governor reports
that the conditions during the months
between January and April were not
such as to warrant an increase.
The strike, which affected about So.
900 persons, was begun in July, 1904,
to resist cut of 121s per cent in
wages. The strike lasted nearly six
months, at the end of which time the
operatives returned to work with the
reduction in effect. The strikers went
back in consequence of the amicable
Intervention of Governor Douglas and
the agreement was that the governor
should, after investigation. decide upon
what margin the mill owners could
grant an increase of per cent up to
April l of this year.

Chicago, May 1S.-The presence of
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor. in Chicago is an
indication to some that settlement
of the strike Is question of a few
days. He had a talk with Mayor
Dunno, also with the chaiSnan of the
aldermanic peace committee and the
strike leaders. He said he was gath
ering information. When asked
whether he was to settle the strike he
said he was here merely to give ad-
vice-that he would not act unless au-
thorized by President Shea.
Mayor Dunno is understood to have
told Mr.. Gompers that if the strike
spreads the militia will oe called out.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made to get the National Civic
Federation to intervene to procure a
settlement.
The livery cab drivers have decided
TO deliver their fares" at the boy
cotted stores.
No more coal is to be delivered at
school buildings by nonunion drivers.
This, it Is believed, will prevent fur

There was an increase of deliveries
during the day in all parts Of the city,
the department stores claiming that
their deliveries are about normal.
There was little interference with the
nonunion drivers and few disturbances
Of q minor character.

New York, May 17.-Kirk LaShelle
died yesterday morning at his home
in Bellport, Long Island, suburb Of
this city. He had been confined to
his bed about two weeks, suffering
from blood poisoning. While rolling
a tennis court he injured his leg and
later was seriously scalded while
mending a hot water pipe. A compli-
cation followed which resulted i'm
blood pisoning. LaShelle was Al
years of age and was born in Wyom-
ing, Illinois. He leaves a widow and
two children, a daughter eight years
and a son four. The one distinguish
ing characteristic of his recent career
was his refusal to handle anything
but American written plays by Ameri-
can Authors. He had ambitious
plans for the future and believed that
the great American play was soon to
be produced. His newspaper career
in the west is known to all old time
Bismarckers. He has been one of the
most successful theatrical managers
in the country.
In summarizing his career the New
York Sun says: "It was as a dra
matte critic and amateur playwright
in Chicago that Mr.. LaShelle met Miss
Maize Nodine, whom he married ten
or twelve years ago when he entered
the theatre business as business man
ager for e. S. Willard who was then
on his first tour of America. The fol
lowing season he decided to start our
for himself. With George Lederer he
engaged in the production of {
comedy, Charles Dickson being the
star. The venture was not success
and a year later Mr.. LeShelle handled
the robin Hood" company for the

MORE Freedom T."
In ANCIENT POLAND
IMPERIAL REScRlPT MoDIFlES
DEGREES IN NINE GOVERN.
MENTs OF RUSSIA.
IN ONE SWEEP WHOLE BURDEN
OF VExATIoUS LAWS HAS
BEEN REMOVED.

st. Petersburg, May 18.-There Is
little room for skepticism as to the
genuineness of the broad policy of i'm
perial reform after the remarkable
steps sanctioned by Emperor Nicholas
in the imperial rescript issued Tuesday
modifying the restrictive DEGREES in
nine Of the Western governments of
Russia and giving the Poles greater
freedom for acquiring farming lands
and purchasing landed properties and
Industrial premises and giving permits
sion to introduce the Polish and Lith-
unian languages in the primary and
secondary schools, where the majority
of the inhabitants are non-Russian.
Almost in one sweep the whole burden
of the vexatious restrictive laws in Po-
land and the Baltic provinces have
been removed and the privileges for
which the natives have been fighting
for years are restored, the assemblies
of the Polish mobiles are re-established
and all the harsh administrative meas
ures introduced at the time of the pol
icy of reaction and classification are
abolished, unless later for purposes of
state after the recommendation of the
council of state they receive imperial
sanction. AS natural sequence of
freedom of religion the oppressive pro-
hibition of the purchase of land by
Catholic peasants is abolished. In ef-
feet the measures sanctioned amount
to an entire reversal of Russian policy
in ancient Poland and the Baltic prov
inces.
Lifts Burdens From Poland.
In Poland, by confning the land
holding to persons of Polish extraction
strictly by inheritance by descent and
not even by testament, it was designed
to force the Poles either to become
orthodox Russians or drive them into
Poland proper. The hardships thus en-
tailed were innumerable. The prop
erty of deceased Poles was sold to
Russians by forced sale and at ride
ulous prices.
will be followed by the introduction of
local elf-government through the
xemstvo system. The steps taken will
undoubtedly have immense influence
upon the population of Poland and will
practically meet the demands of the
rational reformers, who really recog-
nize that the restoration of the king
dom of Poland is an idle and visionary
dream.
The committee of ministers has gone
no further with the Jewish question
than to grant freedom of residence to
the artisan class. The question in it's
entirety is of such great importance
that it has been decided to refer it to
the coming general assembly. This
practically is decision to defer it to
the will of the representatives of the
people, being the first public recogni-
ton that the government intends to
be guided by it's action.
The emperors action has produced
splendid impression among the re-
form elements, which are expressing
the highest satisfaction.
