Strikers Are Anxious For
the Gates TO Open.
THEIR PARADE A FIZZLE.
They Have Lost $500, 900 In Wages
During Idleness.
SITUATION AT NEW BEDFORD.

New Bedford, Mass, April 5-The
parade Of operatives arranged for Mon
day indicated one Of two things-that
the strikers had no heart for walking
with empty purses. and are anxious for
the mill doors to open. or else the weather
was not considered propitious. What
ever be the cause. the denomination
proved a fizzle. and a good many look
upon IL as a convincing sign OF the utter
decentralization existing in the ranks or
the operatives and the strong desire felt
that the battle be declared losing one.
So far as the spinners are concerned,
1t Is doubtful II they are affected by the
situation, iraxmuch as they have not
been obliged to go very deep into their
treasury, which II sufficiently large to
prolong the fight for ysar longer; but
with the other classes OF operators the
situation has become extrsffie. With
the help from tAe unions and the aid re-
ceived from the strike council collectors
they have been continually running be-
hind. and had II not been for the credit
at the stores there would have been
much more hunger than has already been
endured. Now. with the prospect OF
losing what assistance that credit has
given them. there seems nothing left
for them to do but to submit to the in
evitable.
When the strike began II was estimated
that the loss in wages to the strikers was
$4,000 per week. which brings the total
wage loss UP to ss25. COO FOR the IL weeks.
A liberal estimate OF tina collections from
all sources for this period Is s25, geo, which
leaves a loss OF ut least 100000 This
loss. coupled with the losses which New
Bedford has suffered from various
causes during the pest year. has sadly
crippled the city and there Is q demand
on nearly all sides for an end OF the
strike. he only opposition is liable to
come from the labor leaders and the
more violent un.onlsts. 1t remains TO
be seen what influence they will exert
but 1t IL rot unlikely that during the FIRST
attempt TO run the mills they may pre-
vent some OF the operators from return
ing to work. If serious resistance to
starting the mills Is offered. the manu-
facturers threaten to lock the opera
tives out all summer.
