The East End mill workers have &C.
cured slight advance in wages com
pared with that received at this time
last year, without any trouble. The
Daisy mill first agreed to the new scale
of the packers and nailers and the List
man and Anchor followed with an ad-
vance all through the mill. No strike
was at any time threatened. The scale
will now range.from s1.50 for the sweep
ers and S1.75 for nailers and packers to
IS per day for the millers. A few will
receive 1925, the highest figure paid.
The mills are now having comparatively
steady runs and expect business to con.
tinue to pick up for some time.
