THOUSANDS OF MILL OPERATIVES IDLE Means Privation For Many Families In New England Boston, Aug.

14. Mills throughout New England have shut down and there are many thousands of operatives out of work. It is said that the idle hands in New Hampshire number nearly 4000, besides 15,000 in Manchester, that state, alone, while in Biddefbrd, there are 4500. When the Beven mills of the Fall River Iron Works plant closed down 6000 toilers were put out of work.

The wages of mill operatives are low at the best and shut-downs or short-time schedules mean privation to a multitude of men, women and children.

FOlEYSHOIIETTAn tops tl couh a haala lni The House, by a vote of 206 to 80, without a democrat breaking the party alignment, adopted the con ference report on the wool tariff revision bill and rushed it over to the Senate Monday "where it was sched uled for passage on Tuesday. Thirty Republicans and one Independent voted for the bill.

For this measure which Imposes a rate ad valorem duty of 29 per cent, on all raw wool with corre sponding reduced rates on woollen manufactures, the other two tariff measures were side-tracked to give wool right of way to the White House for the expected veto. On the veto depends the further program of the Democrats and the progressive Republicans. Democratic Leader Underwood of the House, in expressing the opinion to-day that final adjournment will not come before next week, said that he does not expect Congress to stay after the pending bills have" been disposed of "unless the Senate de termines to stay and act on the cotton bill." That bill, which makes an average cut of 21 per cent, in cot ton duties, was debated without ac tion in the Senate. It already has passed the House. With bis veto message on the Flood resolution, providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mex ico into the Union practically complete.

President Taft went from Beverly to Washington on Monday. The president's veto is based largely upon the' provision for the recall of the Judiciary provided for in the Arizona constitution. To the New Mexico constitution the presi dent is understood to have no artic ular objection, but the Flood resolu tion so couples the two territories that a veto must affect them both. It is expected that the president's position in regard to the recall of Judges will be made plain in no uncertain terms. The wool revision veto message has not been touched by the president so far, but the outlines of it are in his mind and about all he will need to do in Washington will be to call in a secretary and dictate.

It was said last night that the second veto should reach Congress before the end of the week. Opposition To Treaties. Friends of the British and French arbitration treaties in the Senate at Washington have reached the con clusion that it will be necessary to amend the conventions In order to get favorable action upon them. This conclusion is the result of the consideration Of the documents by the Senate committee on foreign re lations, which has taken them up in vigorous fashion. Especial objection Is made to the provision submitting questions of difference to the Joint high commission of inquiry, but fault also is found with the provision In the French treaty authorizing ratifica tion by that government in accord-ance with the procedure required by the laws of France, and with the condition in the British treaty that matters affecting dependencies of Great Britain shall be submitted to the governments of, such dependencies.

It was thought that the lat ter clause might lead to undesirable complications, while it was feared that the former might necessitate a change in the method of procedure in this country. But despite all these objections. It is evident that the power conferred upon the Joint commission is the only real obstacle to early action. Several senators express unalterable opposition to this provision and more than one suggestion has been made that the paragraph be eliminated, or at least materially modified. EAST CONCORD.

Clyde Milan of the Washingtons Is now playing the kind of ball that placed his name among the crack out fielders of the country last season.

When Milan Is at his best be has no superior as a fielder, and if he were on a winning team he would make them all hustle to beat him as a run getter. While Milan must be numbered among the good hitters of the league. many of his hits are the result of his great speed In going to first base. It has been his speed this year which has kept his average above the coveted mark, though recently he has been get ting his share! of clean drives. Milan on a team which would Win half of Its games or more would size np well with any fielder In the league, not barring Cobb or Speaker, bat on a losing team the players of the Milan type do not have the same number of opportunities to shine, and it is therefore all the more remarkable that Milan should be generally recognized as one of the greatest fielders in the business.

Publio Taboos Umpire Baiting. my experienced as an umpire 1 learned to my surprise that the baseball public In practically all the big cities do not care for kicking against says Jack Doyle. "Conditions have changed since I played the game. In the old days the fans wanted to see aggressive playing, which included the umpires, with, the result that there was much, disorder. But It has been shown that kicking doesn't pay when umpires can suspend valuable players for three days at a time.

The fans don't like to have their- teams weakened In this manner, and consequently they have frowned on the kickers. An umpire can do better work If let alone. Even If a few decisions are Incorrect they even, up in the long run. It la also true that an umpire who knows that lie Is going to receive a square deal from players and public will do his level best to be impartial. If an umpire Is Insulted It Is human nature for him to nurse a grievance, and it la hard for him to keep from squaring' accounts.
