THE STRIKES.
The Harmony Mills Trouble.


CoHoEs, N. Y, July 2S.-Treasury Thorn of
Harmony mills, says when the market warrants
the mills will start up. The wages paid are
the same as in Fall River, and they are willing
to pay these rates. He says the main trouble
is that the workmen want the company to di-
vide the profits that were made years ago.
When the help they have engaged abroad ar
rives, the mills will probably start up. All
their help will have to abide by the rules of
the mills, and the affairs of the concern will
be conducted without reference to loafers who
come here to agitate trouble.
Another Strike at Fall River.
FALL RIVER, July 2S.-Spinners employed
at the Sade mills struck yesterday noon. The
strikers gave as the cause Of the difficulty dis
satisfaction with the weight Of boxes in which
the yarn is weighed. The strikers, 80 in num-
ber, left work without authority of the Spin
ners Union. and meeting of the executive
committee of the Union was held tonight to
authorize Secretary Howard to confer with the
treasurer of the mill and endeavor to effect a
settlement of the difficulty.
