There will be a lively explosion IN mill
circles about the end of the week, from
what can now be gathered. The matter
dates back to the cold feeders strike, which
has not been settled, the Intelligence editor
ial to the contrary Notwithstanding. After
the cold feeders machines had been IDLE
for some time, the manufacturers grew DIS
contented and finally told the nailers that
those machines must so on; in some way or
other. The nailers decided TO put new
hands or beginners, ON at the old rates.
The hot feeders all through the mills met
and decided that they would go out, II new
men went on the cold machines to learn.
The new men went on, but, with the ex-
ception of the Top Mill, the hot feeders
continued at work. At this mill, however,
there was great commotion and a suspen,
sion. which antsgonized the nailers ana
manufacturers. The hot feeders haa
meeting at the market house hall ana there
considered the matter. A resolution ue
claring their intention OF striking, IN case
the beginners were continued, was reau!
for presentation, but upon the representa-
ZION that the beginners would be taken on,
IL was not offered. The new men are stili
ON. however. and it is now reported that
a meeting pregnant with important results
would be held on Saturday night.
