1000 Men be Taken Back while Mr..

committee OF idle workmen. accompan-
led by the Mayor, called on Mr.. Chisholm
to-day with paper which they wished
him to sign. They demanded that every
striker be taken back, that proper notices
be made hereafter when reductions in
| wages are proposed, and that Mr..
Chisholm hereafter listen personally to-
the grievances of the men, who think
they have been discharged without
reason. Mr.. Chisholm agreed to
all the demands except the first.
1000 MUST GO.
He said that of the 1000 strikers !, 900
would have TO seek employment else
where, as the mills would not be run to
their greatest capacity. The company
had been out Of the market 80 long that
new trade would have to be worked up.
In time, perhaps, all the men, except a
few who had maligned him personally.
would be given positions. The committee
were dissatisfied with the interview. To-
night meeting of the strikers was held
at the town hall in Newburg. The leaders
knowing they are men whom the company
will not again employ, made pathetic
speeches about the thousand who were to
be murdered" as they termed It, and
the strikers fell in with the leaders, and
declared that all should remain out II all
were not given an opportunity 10 take
their old places.
