OPERATORS AND MILL OWNERS
ACCEPT COMPROMISE.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
Employes Return to Work at Re

Six Months Ago and Governor is to
Go Over Books of Mills.
Boston , Jan 19. The strike of thu
cotton mill operatives at Fall Itiver.
which aflucled about 2r..OOO poisons
and bus boon in pi ogress foi six
months , to the great hardship and
suffering of Fall River's people , was
settled through thu mediation of Gov
ernor William L. Dtuglns. Under the
terms of un agreement accepted TTy
both manufacturers and operatives , at
a conference held at the state house ,
the strikers will return to work at
ones under the 12 > Xj per cent reduc
tion , against which they struck , and
with no discrimination because of the
strike No rate of wages was estab
llshfid. but it was agreed that Gov
ernor Douglas shall Investigate the
matter of margins between the cost ol
cotton to the mill owners anT ! the sell
Ing price of the cloth , and submit his
conclusions as to an average margin ,
upon which the manufacturers are to
pay a dividend of C per cent on wages
earned from the present time to April
1. Both sides regard the outcome of
the deliberations as a victory. The
trlkers' committee expressed great
satisfaction with the terms of settle
ment , believing that the evident spirit
of tbo manufacturers to pay at leasi
until April a dividend or Increase
hould the margin reach the figure
which Governor Douglas will fix , is an
Indication that the mill owners wll
aim to lay down such wages as wil
not bo Incompatible with reasonable
profits for the mill stockholders.
The manufacturers on the other
hand feel that their contention that
they are now paying wages as high as
conditions warrant will bu establishei
by the governor's Investigation
Governor Douglas , In a statomen
Issued after the conference , exprosset
especial pleasure that the manufact
ur rs had accepted even a mndlflei
form of arbitration and said that tin
felt assured that the arbitration spec
now planted would grow In a few
years to a. point that would prevnnt a

rlnghaui , the Republican caucus nom-
inuo for United States senator to suc
ceed Francis M. Cockrell , whoso
election had suemud assured , resulted
In no choice In the joint session of
the legislature. With the exception
of one , who cast his ballot for Dr.
Pottljohn of Linn county , all the bolt
ers voted for Richard C. Kerens of
St. 1,0111H , who was the strongest oppo
nent of Nledrlnghaus In thu caucus.
Immediately after the second ballot ,
which resulted as follows , the joint
cfaEtlon adjourned : NledrlnghauB , 85 ;
Cockrell , : , Kerens , 7 ; mtljohn , i.
On the nrst ballot Nledrlnglmus ro-
celved 87 votes , two less than tha
number required for election. Cock
rell received 83 and Kerens C.
Tbo defeat of Mr. Nlcdrlnghaui was
predicted following a conference of
the Kerens men with their leadar
lust before the joint session.
The Ilrst break came when the
name of Representative John I , . Bit-
linger was called , soon after thrt
opening of the Joint hesslon. The
call of the Joint session began Im
mediately after the announcement of
the vote taken In the separate house *

conference. Representative Blttlnger
was the only one of the men wlTo bolt
ed Nledrlnghaus who attended , tin
took no part In the conference ba-
yond listening to the discussion of
tbo situation. A telegram from Major
William Warner of Kansas City was
read , in which Major Warner stated
that he would accept no office that
might come to him through treachery.
The conference selected a committee
to see that all members were present
today at the joint session.
At the same time the Democratic
members of the house held a caucus
and discussed plans for reorganizing
the house and deposing Speaker Hill.
No definite conclusions were "reached
It Is current , however , that should
they attempt this they will join with
the Kerens Republicans in electing
Dr. Pettljohn for speaker.
Interesting developments are ex
pected. Claims are made by the anti-
Nledrlnghaus forces that fifteen votes
will bo taken from the Niedringhaus
strength today. They say that having
roted for him twice on Joint ballot ,
the pledged members have done their
duty and are now free to vote for an
other candidate , and , if necessary , to
Join in a call for another caucus on
a senatorial nominee.
