Big Coutt Day.

This village Is more widely known at
the present time than ever before, for 1t
was here that the key note of the present
strike Of woolen weavers was sounded by
those in the employ of the Farwell
Woolen Mill one week ago last Monday
and which now has assumed proportions
OF the largest strike ever known In the
State.
The local weavers did not know for a
certainty that they by refusing to accept
the cut down would create so much ex-
element, but they do claim that they
were informed that the Farwell mill cut
down was the beginning OF sweeping
reduction In all of the wooden mills in
the State.
They came out peacably, and have SO
continued during the past ten days to
conduct themselves, much to their credit.
They appear In good spirits and believe
that they will within a short time obtain
what they claim rIghtfully is theirs.
Yesterday afternoon was the pay day
here and all received what was due them.
| Then they met at the Cadets Hail and
held an orderly though enthusiastic
| meeting.
The committee appointed at the meet.
| ing one week ago made a report of an en-
| couraging nature In financial view. II
was noticeable fact that but a few
weavers had left the place, and we're
ready and willing to "stick 1t out" to the
last. The women weavers do not attend
the meetings as they are few in number,
but they are kept well posted regarding
| all business. AS was decided upon by the
other strikers this meeting appointed
three to represent them on the general
committee OF twenty-three and will con-
fer with the latter tomorrow at Woods
Hall, Olneyville.
IL was voted that the local weavers join
the Central Labor Union which Is to be
| composed only of the WOODEN weavers,
and sixty three signatures were received.
| IL was voted to participate In the mass
meeting at Music Hall and to parade in
body.
IL was also voted to remain out as long
as the weavers at the other mills do and IL
the latter demanded two mills more pay,
the local weavers will demand the same.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the call
| of the chair.
