GENERAL STRIKE ORDERED
Boston February 13- At nmeetingf
today in this city of sixty fire reprosen
tatives of textile unions in New Eng
land it was unanimously voted to rec
omeud that all unions call out the
operativ* iu every cotton mill ic New
Eng'aud.
r Jbe icceting was practily the outcome
o' the recomondatien PresirLiit Gout
per* made to the Feneration n f Labor
lasUSuntlay, in wLiclihe urged the dif
ferent union s to unite on some settled
policy regarding the mill situation in
New England*
At that meeting acommitce of three
was appointed to tirkc charue of the
matter, and after a conference this
committee recomended that a general
meeting be held to take d< futile
action.
Today the representative og3ll€ 'visi
ons national textile associations assem
bled ill the Wells Memorial hall and
iTor four hours discussed the sttution
from every standpoint. The primary
object of the meeting was to devise
some method of rendering assistance
to’tbe New Bedford Stivers,
It was pointed out today that If the
strikers at New Bedford could hold
out for four|-weeks without receiving
more than 20 eents per operative per
week in the way of outside assistance
other mill operatives could stand a
similar martin, and that if all went out
it would precipitate a cricis that
would have to bo met within a short
lime by the manufactures. It was also
shown that the wale spinners were‘in
excellent condition its regards funds;
thah the United Textile Workers and
tne New England Federation of Wea
vers were also m good shape, but that
the rest were shore of-funds.
Other questions were also discuss
ed and at length the matter was put
to a vote, no one being registered
against the motion that the different
unions should order a 'general strike
in every cotton roil! m New England
until a satisfactory aujustfECtft of
wages could bo arranged.
It now [remains fori the various na
tional unions to take action on the
recommendation, but what this ac
tion will be is a inattar of conjecture,
(fall should acquiesce and vote to
strike, 147, 000 operatives would un
doubledly cease to work and the
manufacture of cotton good through
out New EngtowA Would be at a
standstill. If, on the other hand, only
a few unions should vote to strike,
the refusal of the others would still
keep a larg portion of the mills in
operation*
Inasmuch, however, as the meeting
was the outcome of President Gem
pci ’s suggestions and as he ndmon
islied tlie members of the Federation
of Labor to join hands and assist the
New Bedford strikers, it seems prob
able nearly every utian will carry
out the recommendations, and that
one of the greatest r-W-ikes ever seen
in tms country* is impending.—Ex.

CANDLER STIRRED UP THE
BOYS.
From The Savannah News-
When Colonel Candler sent his
resignation as secretary of state lo
the governor, ho helped his own
cause more as a gubernatorial candi
date and opened the way for more
trouble for Governor Atkinson than
he did when he sent out his circular
letter attakihg the politicians who
were instrumental in having the gov
ernor nominated in 1894. lie helped
his own cause because the people
more willingly help a man who hasn’t
an office to get one than to assist a
man to step from one high place into
another still higher. It will be said
of course that Colonel Candler had no
thought of resigning his office as
secretary of state ns long as there
was a prospect that ho would have
no opposition for the gubernatorial
nomination, and that the ground on
which he bases his resignation, name
ly, that he doss not believe tnat a
man should hold one office while
making at: active canvass for another,
was an after thought. A statement
of that sort would donb.less be unjust
to him, as would also a statement
that he resigned simply to compel
Judge Atkinson to resign his office of
railroad commissioner or make the
campaign lor the nomination for
governor under a disadvantage.

It has notv been demonstrated
that nine ehses out of ten of women’s
disorders, painful and troublesome ns
they are, do not require the attention
of a physician at all. “Local taeat
ment” or “private examinotions
have been shown to be entirely un
necessary! The simple, pure wine ol
Cardui, taken in the privacy of the
home insures quick relief.
It is entirely unnecessary for any
woman to suffer from these almost
universal complaints. She can pet

The killing by Spanish soldiers of the
‘Cuban general,, Nestor Araugaren,
comes strangely eiton and sudden after
the event that first brought'him promi
nently before the pwblio eye—the execu
tion of Captain BKifcs. That execution
•seemed harsh and ’terrible, yet when it
is looked at from the standpoint of mil
itary usages it appears justifiable and
will so bo regarded in history. Tim pv
triot cause in Cuba has lost h;" two

ers. Maceo is dead; Aranguren is (lead

28 years old, Yet the Ctinse Of Cuba

It was just a matter of friendship,
nothing more, which gathered in the

’German war vessels about the same

; True Reform.
If the word of the New York Journal
is to be relied on, a young - millionaire
of that city, a youth of the rich family
of Phelps-Stokea, is doing some Uplift
ing of the masses in his own way. I-lii
will have the science of cookery and
housekeeping taught to wives and
daughters among tenement house dwell
ers. Mr. Phelps Stek'es says he has dis
covered that bad cookery is the uuder-
I lying cause of nearly all the domestic
rows iu humble life. He will bring
peace ant? good temper by the introduc
tion of thv other kind.
Who shall say Mr. Phelps-Sfokes is
wrong? In a building which was for
merly a saloou and dancehotise in a New
York touemeut district the young man
has initiated liis practical philanthropy.
For the children there is a kindergarten.
For their mothers and older sisters there
are classes of cooking and housekeeping.
The cooking classes number ten, meet
ing at different hours. Tho cheapest,
plainest foods are selected, and their
proper preparation is earnestly drilled
into the feminine tenement house mind.
Object lessons iu cleanliness and every
detail of household work are given.
The Phelps-Stokos theory is that when
Workingmen go home to palatable,
nourishing suppers in an inviting in
they will not Want to go off and beem.-.i
drunk. The idea is the same old m,
“feed the animals.” Inure is a reading
room too.
What is tailed the Penny Provident
fund is connected with the establish
ment. It is of the nature of a savings
bank, and to this fund may be confided
any sum, however small, for safe keep
ing. It is interesting to know that the
young philanthropist pays liis own ex
penses as he goes.

ers in the New Bedford mills struck
against a 10 per cent Fadnctien in tho
summer of 1805. The matter was com
promised by their finally rift timing to
work at a reduction of 5 per cent. But
they declare they,* found their concession
Circumvented 'by a system of finei
whereby the owners quite made up the
5 per cent, which they had yielded froth
their original cut. Tho operatives rent
their houses from the companies, and
they declare these houses and fiats are
‘unfit for Rum an habitation. This, 100,
is one of tho grievances of the oottofi
workers.
Mill owners on their part affirm that
tho price of oqtton goods is so low in
the market that they cannot get enough

This state of firings they attribute t 6

ticularly'owing to the establishment of
mills in tho sooth, W here labor and all
the raw material needed are so cheafi
that Now England manufacturer's caii
no longer compete at the old price to
their operatives.
Seme who havo studied the situation
carefully assert that markets could be
found throughout the world for all the
cotton goods made in New England if
the mill owtvfcrs wocld bestir themselves
and find them markets abroad. Amer
ican cofftm goods are coming to bo of
beavrfifirl quality. If this is true, then
the mill owners ought to use all dili

would be a satisfactory settlement ‘all

ful operatives living wages and make &
profit themselves.
