Today closes the first week OF the new
order OF affairs as regards the people be-
ing offered q chance TO resume their for
mer positions in the several mills without
questions being asked.
The help have responded as could beex-
pected under the circumstances as they
exist In the community. 1t has been
trying week TO many to face the ieering
| opposition OF a persistent force of idle
operatives arrayed against those who
desired to work IL they were not inter-
fered with.
Mayor Olney gave assurance to the
operatives who desired 10 return TO work
that it was their privilege and he would
nee that all obstacles that might interfere
with them as peaceful and abiding
citizens were removed.
The Mayor was seen on Manton avenue
last evening and appeared TO be well sat
isfed that the worst was over, "and that
has not been very bad when the immense
number Of people that-~sve been wont to
BILE is considered"
"There have been only two slight skir-
mishes, and l do not anticipate any fur
ther trouble"
The crowds on the street were notice
ably smaller last evening at "bell time J"
than on any evening this week, and today
there are comparatively few loungers in
the vicinity of the mills.
Reports from the mills show still fur
ther increase in the working force, and
Monday is expected 10 MAZE decidedly
better showing. Hopes are entertained
that at the Atlantic and Fletcher's an in
crease will be made next week, now that
the help have had their way and kept
these mills practically idle this week.
