By Wire to thb tblbgbaM. v Fall River, Feb." 7 The mill ma chinists did not go out on a strike as anticipated , SOUTHERN MILLS LEAD. Report of Mr. Coolldge on His Re . turn to Boston. Boston, Feb. 5. T, Jefferson Cool idge, treasurer of the Amoskeag mills, oi iviancnester, nas returned from a trip to Florida. He says of the gen eral mill situation: "On the maintenance of the reduc tion in wages depends the existence of the New England mills, and striking against a reduction is a mistake on the part of the operatives who are at temping to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. If the mill hands desire to JL-.out of employment they are taking ttit.' ight course in striking. "Nearly all the Southern- mills are prosperous. The biggest mills are earning large dividends, but are rare ly paying 6 per cent., as they are re serving their excess profits to increase their quick capital. " "The southern cotton mills get some advantage om cheaper coal and also cheaper co' on, but the wage question is the 'great s t factor in their favor. If it were not or the lower wages paid in the south, our mills would compete with them without trouble. "Southern mills, having been built later, are superior to the average northern mill. The best southern op--atives turn out just as much work the northern operatives and are just ab intelligent." WILL HAVE . ELECTRIC LIOHTS. That-New Depot to be Built Here by the Southern.

On account of the youthful age of both jf the prisoners, the ill health of one of them and the strong petition of those who were instrumental in secur ing their conviction I grant the pardon They have already served three months of their term.
