SLATER MILL STRIKE.
lOOm-Fixers Are Still
Out and Firm.
"OLD" AND NEW MILL.
Strikers Talk and Say There Should
be No Favorites.

The loom fxers in Slater's mill No. g,
who struck Wednesday for an advance In
wages, are still out and the situation re-
mains unchanged today. They arc still
hrm In their demand and they assert they
will not return to work at the present rate
OF wages paid. In conversation with q
representative OF the TRIBUNE this fore
noon, one of the men said that they were
required to care for from ~ to % looms on
fancy, and when the style of goods was
changed to plain, the number OF looms
was increased to from 116 to 40, and they
received but yl0.50 week, while In the
"old" mill the fxers were paid sl2 week
claim, is unfair treatment as they believe
they should receive the same amount Of
wages paid the men in the other mill.
They say they have been agitating the
matter for sometime and endeavored to
secure a readjusment OF wages but could
not succeed.
II is the opinion OF Superintendent
Barker that the fixers are literally paid
and, he says, II would be an injustice to
the men who had TO look after looms
running Clancy" to pay those who had to
take care of looms running 'plain" work
the same salary. Ho said yesterday that
he had fixers on each section, but this.
tho men who arc out say, Is not true and
they claim that the two second hands
are doing the work.
The difficulty shows the necessity Of On
organization among the working class,
and II is TO be hoped the men will
come TO some satisfactory arrangements
with the company.

Visiting Militia From Newport Ar
Robbed-InJustice to Mr.. Maloney.

The Newport Light Infantry were
entertained at the Kearneys' Armory, st.
Patrick's Day, and during the parade left
thoir ovcrcoats, etc, there. The doors
were not locked and when the company
returned they found that some person had
been there and having gone through the
pockets of the coats, threw things around.
The thieves took gloves, handker-
chieves, note books, etc. articles that are OF
no use to the persons who took them and
makes the robbery look more like want
onDess than anything else. Captain Nc
Cudden lost valuable note book. The
Kcarneys have appointed a committee to
investigate and 1t will be best for the
persons to return the goods.

This was quite surprise to Mr.. Maloney,
but he soon Investigated the matter and
found II was the work OF petty Republi
cans. Mr. Maloney says he will vote on
the real estate which he owns or will find
out the reason why an the courts.
