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.

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. “A few months ago, Mr. Byron Every of Woodstock, Mich., was badly afflic ted with rheumatism, his right leg was swolen the full length, causing him great suffering, he was advised to try Chamberlain’s Bain Balm.

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. j" ' 'Cottan Rtriifo. The cli’plorablo consequeudes of lobot and .e,apital looking on each other os mortal 'cnemiCb are btlc.e more witnessed in tho strike in the New England cot -ton mill*. The old warfare will un doubtedly go on in all the ranks of labor Till the -contestants mutually disooyor that their interests are one and the same. Then somfe'syftMhVill bo devised Which shall protect both. The 15,000 cotton operatives who went ont at the various New England niillH struck because of a threatened )6 per oent reduction in their wages, which tlriy declared Were already too small to ’enable them to lire comfortably. Work 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 'for their pi'bdfict to pay fonnor prices. This state of firings they attribute t 6 overproduction &'■ cotton vvoavos. par 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 gence to find this wider market. It would be a satisfactory settlement ‘all round. They could then pay their faith ful operatives living wages and make & profit themselves. The tSnancial bills introduced tbiS session of congress are in tho main eft follows: The Teller resolution provid ing that Cni-ocl States 'bonds may be paid in silver dollars; ft bill for tho re tirement of tho greenbacks and United States treasury notes ami the substitu tion therefor of hank currency, with the additional permission to national banka to issue circulation up to the fall amount of their boh A deposits.
