hustling men and anxious boys hastened
through the gates of tho Wood, Aver,
Washington and Prospect mills Of the
American Woolen Company and into the
Kunhardt and Atlantic mills, where the
strike was ended yesterday by vote Of the
operatives. Although the strike formally
does not end until Monday thousands OF
the operatives returned to their machines
to-day evidently fearing that their places
might be taken by others.
Notices were posted at the Everett Mill
to-day announcing the reopenins of the
plant Monday morning and an increase In
wages for both day and piece workers OF

pected by labor leaders TO include the me
rino mill of the Monomac Spinning Com
pany in South Lawrence, employing five
hundred persons. and the BrightWood Mil
In North Andover, which has an operat ting
force of about eight hundred.
Although the strike is ended IN six mills.
affecting seven thousand operatives, be
tween three thousand and four thousand
strike. Picketing was maintained to-day
on small scale. By Monday only the
regular city police will be OF duty.
The controversy over the disposition OF
the strike relief fund was practically COM
promised in the Massachusetts Supreme
Court in Boston to-day, when at the sug-
gestion of Justice Hammond counsel for
the strike leaders agreed TO submit books
and vouchers for examination in this city.
The question was brought into court AT the
instance Of contributors who wished TO
ascertain how the funds had been ex-
pended.
The testimony Of Charles J. Corcoran.
president OF the Lawrence Trust C'ompany.
showed that between January g. when
Local % Of the Industrial Workers Of the
World opened an account and March i3

had been checked out, he testified, but ~
cents.
The result OF the examination will he re-

SWAT" COMMERCE COURT.-With
that genial recklessness which has charac-
terized the House Democrats ever since
they have been IN power, the majority OF
the Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce voted to-day 70 report favoraoly
the Sims bill abolishing the Commerce
Court. Yesterday the committee heard the
Attorney General, and on learning his view
that the court should be continued ii ap-
parently decided TO abolish II without fur
ther ceremony, for the consideration which
the Sims bill has received has been eX-
tremely cursory. It is not expected that
the Senate will approve this measure, but
IL it does not the House will seek TO de-
stroy the court through its power TO in
Itiate all appropriation bills. or course the
threat is made that the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial bill will be held up indeh-
nitely II the Senate inserts provision for
the maintenance Of the court, but that
threat does not frighten the Republicans IN
the Senate, for. as was told last night, they
would welcome the holding up Of any ap-
preparation bill by the Democrats. who
would thus assume the responsibility OF an
extra session OF Congress. Mr.. Wicker

PREPARING TO SIDESTEP?-An inter-
estlne story regarding ex-President Roose-
velt's attitude in the present campaign mas
reached washington, and is the cause OF
much speculation. A close friend OF MT.
Roosevelt asserts that the colonel not only
has no expectation of capturing the noinl-
nation this year, but that he has never
had: that he entered the fight solely be-
cause he felt II to be his duty to lead the
Progressive forces in the Republican party
when they found themselves without Ell
fective leadership and appealed to hilh'
that he purposes when the convention has
made its choice. to support the nominee
of the party. as he has announced. II Is
further asserted that Mr.. Roosevelt believes
that by this course he has insured the
loyal support Of the insurgent wing or the
party. and that by supporting President
Taft after the convention he viii gain tne
gratitude and loyal support OF the regular
element, and that he will thus assure the
support of the united party in 1910. III IS
pointed out that IL Mr. Taft Is reelected
he would not be a candidate IN 1915. ana II
is urged that If he is not elected this year
he could not be a candidate in 1916. There
are Of course, many who refuse TO beheNc
that Mr. Roosevelt entered the race with
out hope of winning this year. but even
these admit the plausiblity of the remain
der of the report and point to 1t as an in
dication that Mr.. Roosevelt appreciates
that he is beaten and is planning to side
step" as gracefully as he may, and 10 re-
aIize TO the utmost such salvage as may
be procurabe after his defeat. on the
other hand II is recalled by those VINO
know Mr.. Roosevelt we'll that he went into
the fight in New York with a reahzauon
that he could not expect to win. but with
the conviction that he could not desert the
men who were making the fight for those
principles for which he then stood, es-
pecially the direct primary law. 1t IS,
of course, appreciated that, whatever Mr..
Roosevelt's attitude may be, he would not
admit at this stage that he had gone into
the fight without hope Of winning or even
that he had abandoned that hope, for 10 do
that would defeat his sole purpose in an
nouncing his candidacy, the gaining of the
radical insurgent support, and perhaps
even result in the implacable anything 10

leader It is asserted however. by persons
