FALL RIVER, Sept. 21-At 6 o'clock this
morning the familiar sound Of Songs. whis-
ties and bells sounded from the ditlercn,
mills, the manufacturers throwing open
their mills to the operatives. As they pre-
sented themselves at their respective mills,
they were asked If they would or not sign
an agreement. Those who would not were
requested to disperse, and those signing
passed into the mills. Some of the mills
did not have enough help 10 run. The two
Durfee mills are running ten or twelve
pairs OF mules, about one-eigth Of the full
force being at work. Richard Borden's
mill started with 200 looms, with full
complement OF spinners, spoilers and card
ers.
NooN.-About half-past eight o'clock
some thousand operatives marched down
to this mill, making an attempt
to enter the ward, but yere met hy the SUI
periniendent and overseer of the weaving
department whom they stored, but were
kept Al bay, and the gates closed against
them. This intimilated large number Of
weayers, who then left the mill, and it Is
now running about $50 looms.
The Fall River Manufacturing Co.
have started with 200 looms the spooling
department is full, and there is fair rep
resentation in the other departments.
