. week ago began Monday afternoon.

made 1t will eclipse the famous strike
which 50 crippled Brockton. The pres

will extend over southeastern Massa-
chusetts. Every laster In the Al shops
In this city which were supplied with
lists understood that he was to come
out yesterday IL the list was not accept
ed. As result before 1880 O'clock the
hall was crowded with men who had
responded. and a glance showed that
very few men had stayed In where lists
had not been accepted. The strike is
fairly general all over the city. and but
few OF the smaller firms have acceded
to the demands.
The answer to the call has been very
gratifying to the labor leaders. who pre-
dict that other manufacturers will sign
who were waiting TO see what action
would be taken. They have found the
men to be In earnest and will sign to
save their business. On the other hand
many OF the larger manufacturers who
have refused to adopt the list declare
they will remain firm, and that the men
will suffer by their enforced idleness
az much as they do. They have to
compete with the shops In Auburn. Me-,
and at best secure but a small margin.
With the new list they would not be able
to compete at all.
The l.. NJ. Reynolds company dis
charged the men at noon, stating that
II could not pay the price and preferred
to discharge the men rather than have
them leave on strike. T. ID. Barry lost
64 men. He paid them OF at noon. and
told each of them never TO apply again
for Job In his factory.
Twenty-seven men In the l.. +. Little
field factory in Avon went out. A ma
jority Of the men seem to be in some
what of quandary. There Is no union
there. and no orders or demand for ac-
tion had been received from the lasters
OF Brockton.
