PROGRAM UPSET.
Democrats About to Elect CuIber5on's
Successor Before He Resigns.

Washington. Dec 6.-With great
seriousness the Democratic members
of the Senate met in caucus today to
elect successor to Senator Culberson
OF Texas. who has determined to re-
sign as chairman of the caucus because
of i'll health. A tentative program had
been arranged by which Money. vice
chairman, was to be elevated to the
leadership and was to decline on ac-
count of Discrimination to take upon
himself such duties because of i'll
health. Senator Bacon was then to
be selected as chairman. With this
program agreed upon Senator Culber-
sons letter was read to the assemblage
and then it was discovered that he
had not resigned the Craftsmanship but
had merely stated his purpose of so
doing
Immediately all the welI-laid plans
of the senators were upset and further
action was postponed until definite ac-
ton is taken by the Texas senator.
The caucus elected Thomas w.
Keller of West Virginia assistant door
keeper, which position is equivalent to
a Democratic representative of the
sergeant alarms on the floor of the
Senate. Mr. Keller has been in the
employ of the Senate for 80 years

NO REDUCTION,
Fall River Mill Owners
Again Waive Privilege
To Cut Wages 5 Per Cent,
Owing to Reduced Profits,
Stocked Up With Cotton at Low
Prices and Operatives Benefit.

Fall River Mass, Dec. 6-There will
be no reduction in the wages paid OPP
eratives in Fall River cotton mills dur
ing the next six months. This was an
nounced by the Cotton Manufacturers
Association tonight, following con-
ference with the Textile Union repre-
sentatives at which the manufacturers
waived their rights to cut wages.
Under the provisions of the sliding
scale agreement they were entitled to
reduce wages s per cent, their margin
of profit during the past six months
having decreased in that proportion.
They explained. however, that having
stocked up well with cotton at low
prices, they are able to give the oper-
atives the benefit of the existing high
prices.
This is the third consecutive time the
manufacturers have waived their
rights. The operation of the new DO
hour law, which will make curtail-
ment of 20 minutes in each working
day, was also discussed.
