test at the insistence of L. l.. Robertson,
who hoped to disprove the apparent plu-
rality of ninety-live accredited to his op-

the result. McGoverns plurality was cut
down to seventy-two, owing to errors in

the nomination by comfortable majority.
Democratic ballots were so few that the
recount was made during the morning, the

The controversy leading up to the
settlement OF the present wage question
was one of the shortest in the history
of the Fall River Textile troubles. For
several months the unions had been
dissatisfied with the dividends they
had been receiving. these averaging
lately but four or five and occasionally
eight per cent. AS a result Of a meet
ing of the Textile ouncil early in June
n letter was sent to the Manufacturers
Association on June S, requesting a
restoration of the 12is per cent. reduc-
ton in wages made in 1904. This re-
quest was refused by the manufacture
ers. who, however. offered to guarantee
a division of five per cent. dating from
June IS to October |.
This Dlan did not change that adopt

Governor William L. Douglas. made in

modification as it guaranteed certain

without a dissenting vote, they refused
to accent the proposition and tie SEN
timent among the men seemed to be in
favor of strike unless the 1904 wage
scale was restored.
The action of the manufacturers to-
day in acceding to their employees re-
quest. caused a wave of relief to sweep
over the entire city. Already several

effect Of abolishing the sliding scale
