little or no change in the strike situation
here. The strikers held union meeting
in LOOMS hall last evening They re-
solved to hold ont until such time as the
company should grant their demands.
Money is pouring in here from all direc-

enough has been guaranteed them to

consisting chiefly of boys and young men,
among whom no strikers were numbered.
These fellows greeted every man at work
about the yards with cries of "Scab, !"
