Everything continues quiet in mill
circles and 1t appears as IL the Riverside
mills were to succeed in introducing the
two loom system. Fresh looms
were started yesterday and more today
30 now there are about thirty looms run
ming In pairs. The action OF the union IN
voting to expel any weaver that should run
two looms seems TO have lost all terror, for
there are plenty OF weavers anxious to go
TO work on any terms. The condition OF
things Is such, too, that the local union
does not wish to order a strike and IL seems
that the system is to be given fair trial.
