COTTON MILL STRIKE.
Six Thousand Workers at Augusta,
Georgia. Affected.

AUGUSTA (Ga.), Nov. 24.-The strike
among cotton mill operatives here now
affects 5000 workers. The new scale
which the owners seek to enforce and
to which the strikers object is based.
SO the owners say, on the rate of wages
paid in South Carolina and North Car
Olina- This the strikers deny, claim
ing that the conditions here and in the
Carolinas are different. The mill own
ers are firm in their determination to
enforce the cut and they declare the old
scale will not be paid again. The
strikers are beginning to yield. They
recognize their situation and know that
they have no weapon to fight with
They have no money or organization,
and without one or the other they cam
not hope to win.
If this cut is successful it is believed
that similar reductions will be made in
cotton mills in other parts Of the
South
