change in the strike situation. rf.f.r
The first week Of the strike goes on record a.
being the most orderly ever known here. It is
largely due TO the advice OF the leaders, who
declare that 1t is fight for principle and not an
effort to hamper the manufacturers 70 the mere
sake of making trouble. Three policemen were
on duty this morning at the Bristol mill while
paying Off was in progress and their services
were useful in keeping the help In line. After
| all Of the hands had received their pay the
crowds melted away.
FALL RIVER Mass, Jan. 22.-The striking

and ring departments. mot tonight to decide
ring spinnors. The latter have no union. and
consequently receive no strike pay, and by re.
naming out they help the mule spinners. On
Monday night the weavers of the King Philip
will ask the general meeting OF the union to
sanction a strike that they have voted to begin.

of the Skeels survey OF the projected

too expensive. The company has now
employed Surveyor Gordon, one of the
best railroad surveyors in the state, to
make new, complete and accurate
survey of route that will leave Smyr-
MA out, save some distance and also
much heavy grading. This work will
occupy some 40 days and it is not now
probable that the work of grading will
begin before next March.
