THE BEER BOYCOTT.
The clamor aroused by Bueb's per

failure of the last attempt to settle the

Tho brewers made every effort to con

mind*, except the demand for. a pledge
to re-engage the discharged workingmen j

them, the brewers said, but they mint

FALL RIVER’S~Bia "sTRJKE.
Opinion Is That the Fa2tory Operatives
Will Give In.
Fall Rlvjr, Oct. i4.—The entire business
community Is Interested In the result of
the action of the employes, the interest
centering in the action of the weaver?
There Is little doubt but that the rest of
the employes will give In. It Is expected
that many of the weavers will return be
cause th? loss of wages for the last
eight weeks has driven them, as well as
other operatives, Into straightened cir
cumstances. The manufacturers are of
the opinion that they will have trouble
In operating the machinery for a few
days, but do not anticipate that the help
Will stay away from the mills after the
first week .in sufficient numbers' to se
riously affect business.
Since the strike began tihe mills that
have been runlnng have secured weavers
from other factories, and the particularly
skilled weavers are at work. Some bother
is expected tomorrow after a jeneral re-^
sumption of work by superintendents try
ing to get bock their old help now work
ing in other mills. Many members of the
Weavers' Union still show a determined
spirit and will probably stay away untU
they find that continued absence ^from
their old places Is of no avail as factors
In the situation. During the strike largo
sums have been expended for repairs and
It Is expected more or less trouble will
be experienced until the machinery gets
In good running order. Business men and
tradesmen generally hall with delight the
proopect of the complete resumption of
work. During the vacation something
like fl.500,ono has beer, kept out of the
channels through which It runs when no
trouble exists between the manufacturers
and the employes. Th#* weavers are to
hold a meeting in the park totrorrow and
reports will be readi from various *ec-
tlcns of the city showing the extent of the
vote of Saturday to stay out has btm

The robbery Is one of the largest on

There 1« little doubt, however, but the

some of this te believed to have been
tn bonds and papers which cannot ba
negoHa'ted by tho thieves. The dliancea
tor fhe capture of tho robbers are
poor. Tho men bad ample .time ito get
away before, feeing pursued. The oonn-
tryit'hrough which 'they went Is thicM/
nettled and not ncceiwible by »iel«gra«ph.
Tho men could have hidden their
booty in some out-of-the-way place In

wihf*re It would be safe 'for years. Al

of ■capturing tho robbers te that IT they
