ON FULL TIME.
Olneyville Mills Will Run Full
Weekly Schedule.
Notices Posted Wage Workers in
That Section Pleased.

The mill workers OF Olneyville are feel
ing much happier today than they nave
been for long tine. The outlook is
brighter than 1t bas been for years and
the prospect OF returning prosperity at
the present time Is considered gooo.
Tangible reason for their rejoicing wa q
the news that nearly all the mills hither-
to running on short time or practic lily
shut down are to increase their hours Of
la Dor considerably.
Taft's mills, the Riverside mills, are to
run about the sa.re as full time. Notices
were posted in the big Atlantic mills that
hereafter they Would be run on full time
until further orders. The posting @.
these orders gave an exhileration to Oh
neyville's current events unknown since
the big strike.
There are 6000 operatives in this great
mill district, and they arc beginning to
believe that sound money and assured
honest government are TO large extent
responsible for the good times which are
apparently coming, and OF which the
starting of the Olueyville mills at full
force is an encouraging Indication.

tended the Hearing Today.

The affairs of the A. Il. Atherton
Machine Company of Pawtucket we're
discussed at great lergth in the Appellate
Court today. On Sept. james +. Mur-
ply, administrator on the estate OF
John Draper, filed a bill in equity against
Abel L. Atherton, Charles T.. Athertcn
and the Atherton Machine Company.
The bill alleged that Abel L. and Chsries
L. Atherton conducted the affairs OF
the company in a manner that may be
ruinous To the stockholders and that
Abel i. Atherton used the corporations
funds for his own private purposes.
An injunction was asked for and also q
receiver by the dill. All OF the charges
made by the com plainants were specit-
caliy denied by the respondents today.
1t came out at the hearing today that
there had been negotiations for q settle
ment OF the difficulties of the A. It.
Atherton Machine Compa ny and that
George W.Stafford of this city had offered
to 60 to the relief OF the -compaHy.-Mr.-
Bcsworth, one OF the attorneys for the
Athertons, today claimed that the PEN
dency of the preliminary injunction
issued by the court in September had
prevented the company receiving orders
amounting to between $50, OO0 and $40, 600.
There was great interest taken in the
case by the employees of the company,
a large numbe of whom were in court.
Mr.. Murphy was shown the books at one
time oy Amos Whitehead and John Mar
shall, two of the directors OF the com.
pany, but when he asked for an expla-
tantion OF certain items from Mr.. A. L.
Atherton not only was he refused the in
formation sought but he claims was
roughly used. Amos Whitehead, forc-
man OF the shop, testified that articles
not used in the shop were charged TO the
firm, but this was explained by Mr.. Boa
worth who claimed there was a running
account between the company and Mr..
A. L. Atherton.
The preliminary Injunction previously
graDted.Judge Stiness ordered dissolved
except in so far as it provides that Abel
L. Atherton and Charles T.. Atherton
shall not sell or pledge their shares and
the motion for a receiver was denied.
