The Fall River Mills In Operation.
FALL RIVER, Sept. 2S.-At the reg
ular opening hour the factory whistle
blew, and all the mills threw open
their doors to such as would work on
the terms of the manufacturers. Ma
ny availed themselves of the opportu-
nifty, and nearly all the mills started.
In an interview this morning with q
prominent manufacturer, he said that
by tomorrow every mill will be run
ming its full power. The only thing
that keeps them out to-day is the fear
of violence. The streets present a
lively appearance, being occupied
with operatives discussing the prob
able state of affairs. Some are march
ing to and fro. No fears at all are ell
tertaiped by our people, the courage
of the operatives being all down, and
they are willing to submit to almost
anything for the sake of work.
