STRIKE AT THE MARSHALL M1LLs.-Durlps
tbe recent financial troubles the managers OF
The Marshall Mills felt compelled, In order
to continue business, to make temporary
reduction of 10 per cent. in the wages OF
their operatives. Thursday evening the ope-
ratiyes in the wcayDg.room demanded that
this amount be restored, which was grant
ed whereupon the hands employed in the
spinnins-room made the same demand,
which was refused, and most of them sus-
pended operations. AS many hands rs could
be spared from other portions Of the mill
were put in the spinning-room, and opera

The proprietors of this mill deserve credit
for having kept it at work during the late
