A Peculiar Case.
There was little trouble in the Geneva
Mills weave room yesterday afternoon
that came near resulting in a strike and
the fear OF the two-loom system was the
cause of il.
A man and his wife work in the same
alley together. Yesterday noon the man
did not report for work as he was
sick, so his wife attempted to run his
loom and her own. This did not
meet with the approval of the rest of
the wcavers. So one of them, member
OF the shop committee, left his work
and told the woman she must not
run two looms. The woman refused to
comply with the request at first, but
finally concluded to stop her husbands
loom, and thus avoid a strike.
