The first excitement ofa public nature

Worsted mill occurred last evening. A
few weeks ago when the mil owners de-
sired to begin the manufacture OF
samples, weavers who were said to be
mostly "bosses" were sent here from
Olneyville to do the work. This annoyed
some OF the weavers while others paid lit
tie or no attention To the fact. few
days ago more weavers were employed
and II began To be interesting to those " no
were on strike. In accordance with the
acts of the Olneyville weavers he slips OF
printed definition OF "scsb" were
posted here IN places where the arrivals
could see hem upon their way To the
mill. At the bottom of this explanation
was written the names OF those who were
at work In the local mill
During the past three days
II has been case OF "put up and take
down" between strikers and "scabs."
Monday and Tue 'day it is claimed that
two girls who came from Olneyville went
the rounds aud removed the slips. Last
evening just before q o'clock the Olney-
willie delegst ion left the mill for the depot.
When part way there one OF the girls
espied the fam liar notice upon an cleo
trio Hight pole and climbing the pole tore
1t down. Near by was first section OF
the visiting work men, while but a short
distance behind was the balance OF their
number. There was standing near IA rep
ressntatlve of the local weavers, who
gather twice each day to see he squad ar
rive and depart. Some one yelled "scab,"
q crowd that had gathered took II up, and
the shouts of "the scabs" followed them
nearly to the depot. Patrolman Welch
soon arrived and stopped the noise. rhe
striking weavers took no part In the pro-
ceedings.
