Washington. Feb. 28. After a con
test that will be memorable in the his
tory of the senate the compromise army
reorganization bill was passed last even
lag at T.10, When the senate convened
Mr. Gorman, Of Maryland, insisted that
Lis rmendment providing that the army
should not be increased permanently or
beyond July 1, 1001, be Incorporated In
the measure. For several hours it up
pcsrisl probable that his insistence at
least would throw the bill over until
today, and perhaps defeat it. An agree
ment was reached finally, however, and
Mr. Gorman's amendment in a slightly
modified form was accepted. 'The notable

Fall River. Mass.. Feb. 28. As the
1 result of a three hours' conference lie
' tween the executive board of Ihe Main
' facturers' association and the Fall River
, Textile Council representatives, held
yesterday, the linn I proposition to the
operatives was a complete restoration of
1 the wage scale prior to the cut down of
i Jan. 3, 1S!. The cut at that time was
1 one-ninth in all departments, which
I mesnt a decrease of over (20,600 in the
' weekly payroll of the mill workers of the
city. The restoration will date from
: April 3 next. The offer of the manu
facturers Included a clause requiring tin
endeavors of the local labor leaders to
bring about the adoption of a sliding
' scab- at the convenience of the manu
I facturers ami operatives alike. The
' restoration, however, was not made con
ditional upon ihe adoption of tin- sliding
scale.
It was again railed to the attention of
i th nnell that the wages paid at pres-
! ent in Fall River were higher than those
paid in New Bedford or Rhode 1 .land
j cotton towns and much higher than in
the smaller New England towns and in
; the south.
It is generally Ullllerst I. however.
that New Bedford and Rlltsle Island
