REJOICING IN FALL RIVER
News of Settlement Brings Joy to
Thousands of Persons
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 1S,-The
news of the settlement of the long
pending mill strike was received in this
city with great enthusiasm. The post
ing of bulletins on the newspaper
boards and the appearance of extra edi-
tions on the streets containing news or
the settlement seemed to be the signal
for an almost instantaneous outpouring
of mill people. Within half an hour
after the time that word first came to
this city of a settlement the streets
We're crowded with men and women
giving every manifestation of joy.
During the afternoon the crowds and
the demonstrations increased, The re
joicing was particularly marked among
the non-unon employees who, however,
had lent support to the strike These
have been among the principal suf-
ferers from privation. as they have
been dependent in many cases upon the
soup houses, while the union members
have received strike benefit money.
Hardly less marked than that among
lne WOrknlen anu women was the re-
joicing of the storekeepers. TO many
of whom the prolonged strike has been
a serious blow.
The cotton mill strike. which began
here on July 25, 1904, was the greatest
disturbance the textile industry of
America has ever known. When the
mills involved We're obliged to close
their gates, about $4,000 operatives were
thrown out of work. Seventy-one
mills, controlled by thirty-three COR
porations, stopped their machinery and
it remained idle until the middle of
November. since which time most of
the factories have been running, gen
orally with less than one-half the usual
force. The strike was directly due to
a reduction of 1914 per cent in wages.
The mills had reduced wages ten per
cent eight months previously.
The mills affected by the strike have
a combined capital of $25,OOO,OOO, and
have 100000 spindles During the
months the mills were shut down the
operatives lost nearly $15OOOO weekly.
The aggregate direct losses to all in
terests up to today is estimated at
fully $4,000, 900.

STRIKE TO END
FALL RIVER OPERATORS TO
RETURN TO WORK

Agreement Affecting 25,ooo Per-.
sons--ereat Rejoicing in
Mill Town
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press
BOSTON, Jan. 1S.-The strike Of the
cotton mill operatives at Fall River
which affected about $4,000 persons and
has been In progress for six months,
to the great hardship and suffering
of Fall Rivers people, was settled to-
day through the mediation of Governor
William L. Douglas.
The agreement accepted was framed
by the governor and was submitted to
each side by him when the parties
met today. After some discussion in
separate rooms, the committee returned
their acceptance of the proposition the
full text of which follows:
"The strike to be declared off and
the operatives to return to work at
once. All operatives to be put to work
in the mill in which they were en-
ployed when the strike began as fast
as possible, and no discrimination to
be shown on account of the present
strike.
after the resumption of work 1
(Governor Douglas) will take up and
investigate the matter of margin and
submit to you my conclusion as to what
average margin shall prevail, on which
the manufacturers are to pay divi-
dend of per cent on wages earned
from the present time to April !, 1905.
ut is agreed by both parties that the
margin fixed by me shall in no way
prejudice future wage schedules"
The proposition accepted today was
practically the same as that which the
governor presented at last Saturdays
conference and which was not ac-
cepted then because the manufactur-
ers' committee was not empowered to
take the step.
After the meeting both sides ex-
pressed satisfaction over the outcome.
The operatives will begin going back to
work tomorrow.
