have Just returned from Washington
where appeared before the senate COM
mlftee and urged that the bill not be
reported favorably and I found that there
was a growing sentiment very strongly
defined against the bill.
Before the committee I stated that
the interstate commerce committee did
not begin to realize the trouble It would
get into if this bill giving. 1t unlimited
powers was passed. and I also stated that
the senate committee hardly realized what
damage the bill would do the country.
THE committee has listened to both
sides of the question and II has CLEANED
a vast amount of information from the
men who have appeared before it. think
that some of the members see the serious
results which would arise from the pas
sage of the bill
Things in general are pretty quiet in

WAGES at Fall River.

The Fall River operators who struck
against a 121a per cent reduction in
their wages were induced by Governor
Douglas to go to work last winter, he
promising to become the referee in
the dispute that had arisen. The OPP
eratiyes wanted an increase of 5 per
cent in their wages-that is to say, 5
per cent above their wages after the
cut of 121s per cent had been made.
The question before Governor
Douglas was this-what margin be-
tween a cut, or forty yards, of cloth
and eight pounds of raw cotton must
exist before manufacturers could pay
6 per cent dividend to themselves
and a per cent wage dividend to
their employees? Governor Douglas
reported that the difference between
raw cotton and the goods must be
"a 1-3 cents in order to justify an in
crease of per cent in wages. 1t is
said the margin at present is between
60 and 10 cents, but whatever 1t be
no increase in wages will be paid to
the operatives.
But the operatives have secured a
basis upon which they can later no
doubt secure an increase in wages.
Whenever difference greater than
"a 1-3 cents exists between eight
pounds of cotton and forty-fve yards
of cloth. they will be justified in de-
handing more pay, and no doubt they
will be ready to make the demand
Governor Douglas has in other words
established sliding scale of wages,
something the cotton mill operatives
have never had.
