portant business was to be acted on
relative to the strike situation.
The meeting lasted two hours and
at the conclusion 1t was stated that
the council, as a council. had voted
TO instruct the officials to request a
conference with the manufacturers
through the State Board of Arbitra
ton on the matters In dispute.
1t was not stated whether the ac-
ton had been unanimous or not, but
President John Hobin of the council
stated that this was all that he eoule
say on the situation.
1t is known that the feeling of the
members of the council outside the
Viewers Union delegates is that since
the weavers have rejected every plan
for a settlement of the strike and have
shown no disposition to end the strike
they think it time that some stepe
should be taken looking towards an
honorable adjustment of the Difficult
ties, and this was the reason of the
vote.
1t is known that the weavers will
not bother with the matter in the
conference for the policy of the
Viewers Union has been that when
it wants the State Board to step In
and use its good offices in trying to
bring about settlement, that ii will
send for the State Board. The Weav-
ers Union has already resented the
early efforts of the State Board. and
the New Bedford member of the board
has been told that the weavers want
no interference of the State Board
unless the weavers send for the board.
The weavers claim that 1t is not a
Textile Council strike and that it is
a strike for the Weavers Union and
the Weavers Union alone to run.
On the face of 1t it looks as II the
council was trying to force things and
ii can only bring about breach be-
tween the Weavers Union and the
council jumping in as the council did.

The report of the relief committee
of the council showed that something
like $3.50 had been expended. this

| the town hall, followed by the speak
er and members of the Republican
town committee in automobiles. Mr..
Goodwin was given round after round
of applause as he stepped upon the
stage
The crowd was a magnificent one
and numbered about 100 more than
were at the Democratic rally on the
proceeding night. About 500 people
We're present and all gave to the
speaker the cloest attention. although
a considerable number We're obliged
to stand in the back of the hall, on
account of the size of the crowd.
Mr. Wadsworth delivered a brief but
strong speech, in which he told of his
own knowledge of Governor Plaisteds
promise to enforce the law and his
failure to do so. He contrasted eondi-
tions under enforced prohibition and
license and declared that he could not
stand for the open saloon in VIM
throp.
Democratic Half Truths.
Mr.. Goodwin was introduced in hap
Ply vein by Mr.. Wadsworth and re-
ceived generous ovation as he arose
to speak His address proved one of
the fairest and finest discussions or
the issues of the campaign that has
yet been presented.
In opening he said that 1t would
seem as if the Democrats had ex-
pected to have their administration
attacked by the eagerness with which
they defended it.
The speaker then proceeded to at
tack the half truths uttered by the
Democrats in defence of their posi-
ton. They claim to have reduced
the tax rate from to 4 mills but
fail to state that during the first year
of Plaisted's administration it was
fixed at mills ''Why don't they be
fair and tell YOU this?' he asked.
Another deception was the state
ment that they had collected $4,000
additional on the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railroad tax, for it failed to state
| that the rebate expired automaticai-
| ~ by the expiration of 20-year con-
tract and that they would have been
collected just the same if Fernald
had been in power.
| He then took up the statement that
| the Democrats had found the state
| 50 800, 600 in debt. Jan. |, 1911, and
| had paid off $l.500,0O0 of that debt
| within six months. and failure to state
| that the reason for this was because
| that amount of taxes came into the
| treasury, which were assessed under
/ the Fernald administration. The eX-
| ira mill tax was needless as to light
| a candle in brilliantly lighted hall
and was done solely for political pur-
| poses The reduction of the tax rate
| to 4 mills in 1912 and the surplus OF
! 100000. Aug. /. shows that.
/ Are we to be kept voting upon 1t I'M
til we vote yes? That's no way to do
| All that the special session did in thret
weeks, at an expense of $4,000, was te
pass a ballot box act. which will go t.
a referendum, whitewash a Democratic
sheriff in York county and turn out the
poor prosecuting officer because he hap
pened to be Republican. The speaker
declared that Governor Plaisted's stant
in favor of notification had caused thu

in the houses of ill-fame to chortle will
