Stock Run Out in Short Order at Westboro
A Woman's Experience.
Westboro, Nov. 2S-The fail of snow
yesterday came near equaling that of
last February. The churches had a
very small attendance, although the
bells rang for services. The milkmen
were most all showed up so that those
who We're able to come around did a
rushing business, and deserved their
money, as they worked hard to set
around.
The trains We're stalled, and the first
train from Worcester came at 10
o'clock All day today the laborers
have been busily at work, under the
Fred K. DeWolff, breaking out the
drifts, and tonight they are not all
broke out ShOvels were sold with a
rush by the hardware dealer, and at s
o'clock there was not d shovel to be
bought in town.
Any one could not loaf on the street
corners and complain of lack of work
for there was work in abundance. The
electrics were unable to run. and the
tracks have not been cleared out as
yet.
Yesterday morning a lady started for
church. and became exhausted when
near the residence of F. " Bartlett, on
West Main street. She called for help
and Fred DWinell, an employee of f. V.
Bartlett, came to her assistance. She
was benumbed with the cold, and it
was quite a while before she was in
condition to be carried home
While William Revene and Edward
Mooney We're on the way to their work
at Moses Pollard's this morning, in
sleigh, the breastplate of the harness
broke, when near the Catholic Church.
The horse became frightened and start
ed to run. Both Of the men grabbed
the reins and were dragged over the
dasher into the snow. They held on
plucl1ily however, and after being
dragged about 80 yards, succeeded in
stopping the horse. They luckily es-
capped injury.
Linemen We're in town today repair

view today: II do not want to inter-
fere with the liberty of opinions, neither
do | wish to say Of what organization a
man shall be a member, provided he
does not interfere with the laws Of the
United States or the state itself. Ehe
manufacturers do not want TO break

outsiders dictate to me and say what

ployees are welcome to work for me-
whether they are connected with the
union or not"
Il ask no one to sign his or her name
tosany document ! am willing to take
their word. When any one is dissat-
isfied, ne can leave the factory"
Mr.. O'Connell said that stock-taking
would show whether the firm came out
square financially for the year The
balance had been on the wrong side for
a couple of years, he said.

factory held a meeting in Powderly

A prominent member of the union,
when questioned concerning the situa-
ton, spoke as follows: I'VE win never
consent to any such terms. If we do
not have agents, our unions might as
well close up shop The agent is the
disposer of our capital, which is our
labor. If we are not represented by
an agent we bae at the mercy of our
employers. What man would dare to
object to any agreement the manufac-
turer would wish him to make under
those circumstances? We tried run
ming union under the committee bust
ness once, and soon found that an
other system was necessary. That is
why we employ agents. The manufae-
turer dfsposes of his product through
agents; why cannot labor have the
same pIfVilege?''

CAUSE OF INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION

Another New England investigating com
of the depression In the cotton manufac-
turing industry and has reached the con-
clusion that the trouble arises chiefly from
want OF buyers! Incidentally, OF course
It has also found that Southern mills have
had much to do in limiting the number Of
buyers of the New England product.
The committee In question was appointed
By the Rhode Island legislature In January
last. The irst fact learned, as quoted in
one OF our exchanges, was that more gooic
were being manufactured than we're being
consumed" aud the committee was advised
proved either by curtalled production or
| an increased consumption" The commit
tee discovered that this increased or sur
| plus production arose chiefly from the fact
| that the South had multiplied its spindies
rapidly and that the home market was now
too circumsoribed to consume the National
output The old story OF long hours OF la
bor and employment OF children In the
South. was also repeated as the explana-
ton OF much OF the depression In the New
England mills. Then the committee sums
