Bilious Bill was getting bloated,
And his tongue was muchlY coated.

Companies would not insure him.
All his friends we're badly frightened,
But their spirits soon were lightened,
For Bill said-and they believed him.
EARLY RISER pills relieved him.

GREAT STRIKE ENDS.
FALL RIVER TEXTILE MILLS ARE
AGAIN OPENED.
Operatives, After Being Idle for Six
Months, Return at Reduced Wages
Labor Troubles Delay Delivery of War
Materials in Russia.

After bitter fight which lasted just
Six months, lacking a week, the Fall
River strike, which closed all of the
large textile mills, has been settled. The
operatives are defeated and agree to re-
sume work at the reduction of 1919 per
cent in wages which caused the walkout.
The strike order issued by the Fall River
textile council, keeping 10000 operatives
away from the mills in protest against
reduction of 1212 per cent in wages, be-
came effective July %. 1904. The COM
panies involved in the strike operate
eIghty-one mills with about 100000
spindles and weekly product, when run
ming in full. of more than 900,000,000
yards of cloth. 1t costs a cotton manu-
featuring corporation operating 100000
spindles at Fall River about $1,000 a
week to remain idle. AS there were
100000 spindles represented in the
manufacturers agreement the minimum
cost on the mills of the long continued
strike was not less than $4,000 week
The $4,000 operatives who are employed
in the seventy-one mills operated by the
thirty-three corporations bound by the
manufacturers agreement would have
earned $l49,050 week if they had &C
cepted the reduction, or $21 ,294 less than
under the old scale.

Increased failures at this time are
not cause for apprehension. The rig

bly, enforce the elimination of those
traders whose posluon discloses inher-
ent weakness, and the commercial at
mosphere thereby is so much clarified.
FINANCIAL conditions generally exhibit
ease and favorable attitude toward
industrial expansion, money being ann
pie and the borrowing rate moderate.
Trade operations present gratifying
developments, increased activity being
more distinct in both production and
distribution. )}readstuffs were in good
demand and a slight gain in values
was helped by the continued scarcity
of milling wheat Manufacturers grad
ually augmented the forces employed
and have drawn more largely upon
the capacity of their plants
Raw material is in good supply for
known requirements, while cost and
wages present more settled basis for
determining new undertakings. There
also is a satisfactory tone to the fresh
demands, the latter having wider eff
feet among factories, especially those

thousands starving in New York.

New York has now the largest proper
ton of unemployed of any great city in
the country, writes New York philan-
thropist to Frank 7. Sargent, commits
sioner general of immigration. There are
at least 100000 idle men in the city to-
day, or 40 per cent more than at this
time last year. Fifty thousand children
go to school breakfastless, which means
idle fathers. So overwhelmed is the de-
partment of charities with tens of thou
sands of applications from men out of
work that it finds itself unable to cope
with the situation. In short, the metrop-
oils this winter is facing problem with
regard to the unemployed such as has
never been known in past years. The
cause of this state of affairs is of less
moment now than the immediate prob
lem of how to deal with the multitudes
of the unemployed.

Changes i'm the Wheat Belt.

Vermont was once the graaary of
New York City. 1t now produces only
one bushel of wheat to more than 200
in Minnesota, the banner State.
Rochester was once known as the
flour city" Now it is called the flower
city" But New York still raises as
much wheat as Wisconsin. Maryland
produces more than either, Texas nearly
twice as much, and Pennsylvania three
times as much. Only eight States sur
pass Pennsylvania in wheat raising.
Kansas produces nearly as much
wheat as both the Dakotas. which are
much more often mentioned as wheat
States. Only a trifle more than half the
wheat crop grows west of the Missis-
sippi. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio still
produce S0,000,000 bushels, which is more
than any far western State, and over
one-eighth of the whole crop.
Little Delaware raises more wheat
than all New England. Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
North Carolina raise 35,000,000 bushels.

Suffocated by smoke, caused by a fire

their lives and ten more are missing and
thought to be dead, 600 feet below the
surface. Among them, it is believed, is
John Pride, a young man, who gave the
warning TO his companions. The fire
started i'll some straw in the mule stable
and made a black smoke, in which, the
survivors say, it was impossible to live
more than a few moments. Miners were
seen to fall and die in their efforts to
get out. The burning of the mule stable
set lire to the rafters, which are wood.
The fire was 600 feet below the surface
and 1000 feet away from the bottom of
the shaft, and the intense cold caused
the hose, which had been lowered, to
break frequently.
