What about the struck jurors?" asked
one of the counsel.
They may be in court here at ten
o'clock of the morning of that day. said
Justice Lippincott.
The proceedings closed and the big
crowd seized it's umbrellas, hats, coats and
rubber shoes and rapidly thinned out;
The adjournment was discussed in the
corridors and on the street and the runor
was quickly spread that the prosecution
meant to Jolly this case along" by con-
tinual adjournments and ultimately drop
it altogether.
Another rumor had it that the post
ponement was worked, by whom none
could say, until after the arrival of the
Gledhill Investigating Committee had paid
its visit here. Whatever truth or falsity
there may be in the rumors, one thing is
that the case was not pushed to the
speedy trial enjoined by the Constitution
and which point. as raised by the de-
fence this morning, will ultimately be car
ried to the higher courts.

ent indications the mills will remain closed
for many weeks.

went into effect in the Atlantic and Paci-
fic cotton mills in Lawrence, Forestdale,
r. l., and two other places this morning.
The operatives in Lawrence, where a
strike was threatened, accepted the cut
down. as thew decided that it was neces-
sary to continue at work while the New
Bedford strike lasted in order that the
operatives in the latter city might receive
financial assistance.
In Fall River an attempt was made 10
start the King Philip mills this morning
and it was in a measure a success. In
the No. mill, one section of looms was
started and some of the spinning frames
were put in motion by operatives secured
from other places. None of the striking
male or frame spinners returned to work
and the strike is still in force. 1t is prob
able that if the management can secure
sufficient yarn the looms will be Kept
running.
