MAYOR ATTEMPTS TO
 END LOWELL STRIKE
Submits Proposition to Manufacturers
 and Operatives

Lowell Mass, April IA prcposi- tion to end the strike and lockout of 1000 employees in the cotton mills of this city was made by Mayor James E. O'Donnell to the manufacturers and to the operatives today. No general action on the proposal was taken by either side tonight. The mayors sug- gestion is that:
 "All the mills now closed shall open on next Monday, April 8, under the new schedule of wages of March 25; the operatives to work for at least three weeks under the scale. Then if he wage conditions have not been satisfactorily adjusted, the operatives shall make such specific demands as they may desire, and in the event ot being refused, cease work
 T am actuated in making this sug- gestion," added the mayor, "by very strong assurance that in the event of the operatives returning to work on next Monday, the mill authorities within three weeks will have adjusted the present differences in a manner that will be satisfactory to the em- ployes."
 None of the mill agents who were asked about the mayors plan tonight would admit the probability of~thelr granting any further increases.
 Tn anticipation of long industrial struggle, many of the operatives have gone to Canada, Lawrence, Nashua Manchester and other textile ceutere where wages have been advanced 1C per cent, or more.
 So far as the Brench-Canadian workers are concerned, 1t Is not un- common for them to return to their homes In the provinces every spring coming back to Lowell in the fall afteI the crops are in.
 The strikers today paraded in the mill district, carrying two red flags as well as the stars and stripes.

"uNFAIR METHODS"
Roosevelt Still Accusing Opponents of
 Msusing Him.

Parkersburg, ". Va, April A. Striking hard at his political oppo- nents here, Colonel Roosevelt charged them in a speech tonight with using unfair methods in an effort to defeat him at the convention soon to be held in this city.
 The former president said he had been informed that plans were being made to turn the Wood county con- vention against him notwithstanding that it had been represented to him that a large majority of the people were on the Roosevelt side. The col- onel appealed to the people to do all that lay within their power to make the convention one which would be a fair expression of the popular will.
 Colonel Roosevelt's speech was de- livered st the close of the second day of his campaign in West Virginia and Kentucky. He remained in Parkers- burg five hours during which time he made two speeches.

CLOTH PRICES ADVANCE
 BECAUSE OF WAGE RAISE.
Most Geods Increased one- fourth Cent,
 Some Ons-haIf Cent.

Boston, April 4.-The general ad- vance of about 10 per cent. just made in nearly all of the cotton mills of New England means an increase of 8 quar- ter of cent a yard for most goods. Print cloths, prints, gray goods and sheetings are all up half cent yard. Cambrics and drills have been notched up one-quartsr cent. It is expected that these advances will be suf1cient to meet the increased manufacturing cost and furnish a normal profit once more. But the mills will not get the benefit until midsummer and by that tiIns three years of mo- profit conditions will have rolled around.

JUNKETING TRIP

Washington, d. c., Jan. 49,. Chair
man Graham of the house committee
of the interior department on expen-
ditures, formally announced that the
sub committee consisting Of himself
and Representative George of New
York leave tomorrow morning for
minneapolis, where hearings will be-
gin Tuesday morning in the investi-
cation Of conditions on White Earth
reservation. Neither Graham n
George knows anything about India 4
matters, except what he may have
casually picked UP.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
whom Graham designated a member of
the committee, declined to go and
the chairman would not appoint an
other republican. Representative
Burke of South Dakota, for years
chairman Of the Indian committee. is
a member of the Graham committee
but doubtless knows too much for tW O
democratic investigators.
Representative Hanna is member
of this committee and knows the con-
ditions on the White Earth reserva-
tion. He also was passed by, Hanna
is not sorry, because he is too busy
to go on junkets and regards the
White Earth investigation as nothing
else than that.

close friendship with Woodrow Wilson

democratic presidential nomination
