Among the striking 6ho. makeTs.

HAvERHiLL, Feb 1.-THE labor situa-
tion here is assuming = grave aspect The
striking cutters at Spauldings manufactory

the factory and every new conner is stopped
and admonished against going into the
factory to work, the force Of cutters is in
creased every day. today the number
reached 80, nearly . full complement.
This has exasperated the strikers. And
fears are entertained lest their threats be
backed up with violence.
At noon and six this evening two or three
hundred people collected near the factory
apparently TO frighten new cutters as they
came out, No viole"ce sas resorted to
though meDaces and vile epih-n were
used. The s,rikers inangurated q system
of boy cotting boarding house keepers and
others who in any way aid cutters who
come here from other places to work a
Spaulding's, and in this way six new cut
ters were indeed to leave.
Ex President Maxwell of the New Eng
land Boot an Shoe Cutters Union at work
at Spauldings. is particularly obnoxious tt
the strikers, and is accused of ben z a
traitor to tho order by accepting his posi-
ton. but makes good his claim to consist
ency by presenting a letter from Georg'
Burdett, President, and W. +. Clark, Sec
retary, of Union No. I New England Bool

n. which says the Union by unanim1u'
vote indorses the stand taken by MsX~el
as regards his entering the shop of W. W.

fire WAS under control the members of the

been occasion.d, although the civil cng-
