END OF LAWRENCE STRIKE.
NEW BEDFORD DISPLACES MAS.
SACHUSETTS CITY IN
LIMELIGHT.
Manufacturers Will Announce Imme-
diately If They Will Agree to Addi-
tOnal Increase OF 5 Per Cent.

Boston, March 24.-The great Law
renee strike, which brought in it's
train increased wages for 275 900 tex
tile workers in New England, was Of
ficially declared off at all the mills in
Lawrence today, having accomplished
its purpose, in the opinion of the
leaders
In this connection it is generally
believed. too, that advances in wages
or reduction in hours to paper
employees, bagging and burlap W.
ers, machinists and operatives in otl. d.
er industries are all traceable. direct
ly or indirectly, to the movement,
which had lis origin in Lawrence. The
total number Of persons thus to be
benefited is considerably upward Of
100000. Advances In the price of
wooden and cotton goods which have
been made or which are in prospect,
will probably place upon the ultimate
consumer much Of the burden Of the
additional cost to the textile manu-.
facturers. This will aggregate be-
tween $10,000.000 and $12,000,00
during the next year. it is estimated.
MIL agents in announcing advances
In prices have frankly said that the
upward trend Is the result Of wage ad-
vances. The rise in the price of cot
ton goods. announced up to the pres
ent time, is comparatively small-a
fraction Of cent a yard in most
cases-but selling agents predict the
net advance to the retailer may ul-
timately reach cents a yard. Some
increased prices also have been quot
ed on woolen goods, and dealers free
ly predict higher prices for next sea-
son.
New Bradford, where the manufac-
turers Of the finer grades Of cotton
goods have refused to accede to the
demands Of their employees for an ad-
ditional s per cent, has displaced
Lawrence as t.ie centre Of interest in
the textile situation. Unless the mill
owners give the increased demands
within few days, it is feared a strike
OF from $4,000 to 10000 operatives
will follow. While an increase of 5
per cent has been offered, the New
Bedford operatives are insistent that
they receive 10 per cent.
Secretary Devoll of the manufac-
turers' association has promised them
that the mill owners will decide early
in the week whether this will be
granted.

IMPORTANT RATE DECISION.
COMMERCE COMMISSION SAYS
DISREGARD STATE LINES.
Decision Made by Close Vote of -Four
to Three, Minority Thinking lit
Usurping Congress Power.

washington, March 24.-The inter-
state commerce commission, in an
opinion made public today, establish
ed the far-reaching principle chat a
railroad must SO adjust its rates that
justice will be done between com.
munities regardless Of State lines. If
a railroad makes a low rate upon traf-
fc wholly within the State, even when
forced to do SO by a State commits
sion. it must accord the same rate
to the interstate traffic moving under
substantially similar conditions.
The principle was laid down by a
vote Of four to three. The minority
held that the powers Of congress were
usurped by the majority opinion. and
that the remedy for such a situation
should be applied through additional
legislation. The decision was in the
case Of the railroad commission Of
Louisiana against the st. Louis and
Southwestern railway and other car
riers operating between Louisiana and
Texas.
The case practically precipitated a
conflict between federal and State au-
thorities over the control Of Interstate
traffic. The opinion Of the majority
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion. prepared and handed down by
Commissioner Lane, Is a definite as
sertion Of the supremacy OF national
regulatory authority over the powers
practiced by any State. It is the first
time this assertion has been made dis
tinctly by the commission. In MAX
ing It, Chairman Prouty and Com
missioner Clark concurred with Com
missioner Lane, and Commissioners
Clements, Harlan and McChord dis
sented. The proceeding brought by
the Louisiana commission placed in
issue the right Of interstate carriers
to discriminate in favor Of the State
trafffc and against interstate traffic.
The gravamen Of the complaint" !"
the opinion says, us that the defend
ant carriers make rates out of Dallas
and other Texas points into eastern
Texas which are much lower than
those which they extend into Texas
from Shreveport, La. A rate of 60
cents carries first class traffic to the
eastward Of Dallas a distance OF 1876
miles. while the same rate Of 60 cents
will carry the same class Of traffic
only 55 miles into Texas from Shreye-
port"
The low rate within the State of
Texas was forced upon the railroads
by the Texas railroad commission in
furtherance Of a policy to protect and
promote the jobbing interests of
Texas. The Louisiana commission and
that States commercial interests de-
clared that Louisiana was being dis
criminated against because Of the
exacting Of the higher rates of
Shreveport westward and demanded
an adjustment Of the rates. The
contentious Of Louisiana We're sus-
tanned by the commission absolutely.
