FALL RlvgR, June 24.-Ata meeting OF
the spinners tonight 1t was voted to inau.
gurate strike tomorrow in every mill in
the city except the Metacomit and Ana.
wan. In these mills, notice not having
been given as early as in the others, the
spinners will work there day or two
longer, until the ten days notice expires.
Nothing was said about the King Phillip,
it being understood that no strike will oc-
cur there.
Another meeting will be held to.mor-
roY. The spinners have procured Car
rollton Hall, which is much larger than
their own, and oxpeGt q full meeting. Its
object Is two fold; first, they think there
is chance that the manufacturers may
yield tomorrow, and il so, they can hear
the reports from the manufacturers and all
act in body. Second, they believe that
il the manufacturers do not yield, the meet
ing will strengthen the feeling to resist
and hold out to the bitter end.
There seems to he not the slightest indi.
cation OF weakening by the manufacturers.
A general meeting will be called for to.
morrow, when course Of action will be
decided on. The general opinion seems to
be that the manufacturers throughout the
city will try and run regardless OF the
strike. Several Of them have spinners en-
gagged from out of town, and
agents are constantly engag.
ing others. The striking spIpners
living In the corporation houses who have
wages coming to them will have advance
rentfor one or two months deducted from
their wages or be paid in full only on
vacating the tenements. No well inform
ed person believes the manufacturers will
yield In any way 10 the spinners, and the
prospects, That Thursday morning a sharp
contest will begin. !
