M. G. d. Borden, the one mill-owner
in Fall River who insists on doing
things in his own way, independent OF
what others engaged in the same line Of
business may do or think, has again
caused sensation by announcing that
the wages Of the employees in. his cor.

of the matter has not been due to any
action taken by them, but to the courts.
The merger plan involved the removal
of the school and the sale of the land on
which some of it's buildings now stand.
The right to sell this land and erect

and their contention has been sustained
by the supreme court, so that this great
Einstitution with it's hundreds of stu

of Boston for some years to come.
