Irish-American Protective Club.
A number OF the young Republicans
are to organize an Irish American Pro-
tectiveAssociation at Olneyville or perhaps
revive the old organization which did
good work at the last campaign. The
matter is now being agitated and many
former Democrats have experienced
change OF heart during the last
II months, and Believe now
in protection. better locality
for converts could not be found as the en-
the Democratic administration. A very
strong organization should be formed
here and, politically speaking, now is the
time to do it.
Mill Matters.
1t is reported that the Riverside Mills
have about got their looms arranged to
give the two-loom scheme a trial.
No looms ares running at Lymansville,
and the men seem firm in their stand. 1t
is very probable that the mills may be
closed until better times, as there Is little
to be gained by running. The weavers
will have ample leisure to consider the
situation for some time to come.
1t was reported this morning that the
weavers at the Delaine Mills had decided
to work no longer at their present scale of
wages, and would strike IN the immediate
future for an increase. Those in po-
sition to know, however, say that even IL
there was to be strike IL would not 90
into effect for sometime. The majority of
the weavers here are girls.
For the Sportsmen.
Three dozen quail were distributed in
Johnston and vicinity yesterday by
Thomas w. Penny for the State Game
Association. Arrangements were made
for giving the birds food in case Of storms,
and 1t is hoped that they will have no
trouble in getting through the remainder
of the winter.
District Court.
Mary Mullen of Cranston came before
the court this morning charged with
being lewd and wanton. She withdrew
