the doctor to come from the other

 Another Resignation Pending.
 Government circles today had not re- covered from the shock of the abrupt resignation of Andrews, his strictures of Secretary MacVeagh and the lat ter's retort that Andrew had practical ly been dismissed because of ineffi- ciency. In the treasury department 1t was said that at least one of the other officials whom Andrews mentioned in hi sletter to President Taft as being hampered by MT. MacVeagh's idiosyn- cracies might be on the verge of re- signing. Others hastened to refterate their declarations that their relations with the treasury head were cordial. though some of these assertions were qualified.
 MacVeagh Won't Serve Again.
 Mir. MacVeagh will return Monday. It was reported today that he had in d1cated to President Taft his deter imitation not to continue in the cabinet after March 4, should President Taft be reelected. It could not be confirmed. It is known, however, that two other members of the cabinet have given mo- tlce to that effect

The report attributed the strike to the passage of a state law re- ducing the weekly hours of labor from 56 to 54 and to the failure of the mill managers to readjust the pay so as to prevent reduction in the weekly earn ings of the employees.
 About 23,000 persons were engaged at one time.
 Mill Manager. Not Alive to Situation.
 "The serious nature of the trouble which threatened the mills was not appreciated by the mill managers, D according to the report. Tn view of the large number of non-E English speaking operatives involved in this matter and of their excitable nature and the possibilities of damage and serious disorder if they became thor oughly aroused under the spirit of un- just or oppressive Urea tment. it seems strange this matter should have been allowed to drift along to the first pay day without any effort being made to reach some agreement that would have prevented the outbreak"
