Great Slash In Wages Is Al
most Due at Fall River
SELLING PRICE OF CLOTHS
II Governs Sliding Scale System and
Average Margin Has Fallen Below
eO--Trade Situation, However. Has
Somewhat Improved

Fall River, Mass, May 2O.-The re-
duction in wages which will 60 into eff
feet in the print cloth mills Of this city
on Monday next will probably amount
to nearly IS percent, the heaviest cut
ever made at one time here, if the six
months sliding scale agreement is put
into full operation by the manufac-
turers.
The executive committee OF the
Manufacturers association and the Sec
retaries of the various unions held a
private conference to discuss the
amount of average margin between the
cost of cotton and the selling price of
regular print cloths during the past
six months, upon which the rate of
wages during the coming year will be
based. Both sides refused to make IA
statement, but SO far as can be learned
the average margin has fallen below
80, which would mean, under the
sliding scale system, cut in wages Of
1874 percent.
The Textile Council will consider the
situation and arrange to sign the new
agreement which is called for, neither
side having given necessary six
months notice that a discontinuance is
desired. The reduction will affect
about 2J.000 operatives.

RRYAN's GREAT LETTER.

Mr.. Rryan's letter Of acceptance
Is one OF the greatest documents ever
presented to the American people by
candidate for the presidency.
II Is an unanswerable address, for
1t deals with great truths that can
not be controverted, but which ON
the contrary are supported by historic
fact and common sense.
IL Is a communication which ap.
peals TO the patriotic'citixen, and to
democrats simpy because they all are,
or ought to be, patriotic citizens.
MIR. Bryan puts the voter on his
mettle and asks him whether he be-
lieves he Is tit TO govern himself.
This Is the spirit and sentiment,
which dominates every line OF his
address, and II should act like elar-
Ion call to the citizens OF this country
to accept the responsibility which
was placed upon them when this ma.
tion was formed and given a repre-
sentative form of government.
No one can read this wonderful
speech without feeling that IL Is ad-
dresred to him individually, nor can
the reader help feeling the stirring
thrill of Its clear note and high moral
purpose.
Even though Mr.. Bryan should be
defeated Ia the coming light, this
letter OF acceptance will i've and be
referred TO In the days to come as
one of the most Inspiring utterances
ever presented 10 the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Bryan has always been famous
for the lucidity of his expression and
he possesses the genius, which Is one
OF the greatest gifts, OF being able 70
explain the most complex questions
OF statecrait In such q simple manner
that everyone can understand them
and see their true meaning.
He can strip tallacy of It's CLOAK

The News editorial was widely
copied in the east.
Now In the Chicago Record-Heraid
Walter Wellman, In pithy report
from New York, records the awaken

Postmaster Chairman Hitchcock is
proceeding on the theory that the re-

correspondence goes on tc snow py

Every man that he has talked
with whether democrat or republic
can, the correspondent writes admits
that Bryan is stronger than ever be-
fore, while the comment is general
that the country is no longer afraid
of him. 1t Is admitted further That
the idea that he is an anarchist and
would smash things If he became
president has passed away. While a
few ossified Bourbons still retain this
notion thinking men recognize that
il is chimerical, and, for the first
time, says Mr.. Wellman, Mr.. Bryan
Is admitted to the presidential class.

The blacklist.
So far as the second section Of
this bill Is concerned, 1T Is perfectly
clear that il would legalize the black
list and the sympathetic boycott ear
ried TO any extent. II would legalize
acts which have time and again been
declared oppressive. unjust and inn
moral by the best and most eminent
labor leaders themselves.
Does Mr.. Bryan believe with Mr..
Gompers that he and that part of the
labor movement that agrees with
Rim has the right morally and should
be- given the right legally to paralyze
or to destroy with impnritv the busi-
ness of an innocent third person
against whom he or they have no d.
rect grievance, simply because this
third person refuses to join with
them aggressively in a labor con

enemy any and every other employer
whom they point out as their enemy,
because he refuses. merely upon
their peremptory order, to excom-

eeasing all business relations with
him? The blacklist. and the second
airy boycott are two of the most
cruel forms of oppression ever de
vised by the witness of men for the
infection of suffering on his weaker
fellows.
No court could possibly exercise
any more brutal. unfeeling. or
