STRIKERS GO TO WORK
They Made Announcement to
That Effect Yesterday.
TWO WOMEN FAIL TO APPEAR

STRIKING WEAVERS or THE DEL
AWARE COTTON MILLS TAKE A
SURPRISING TURN, BUT TWO
WOMEN WHOM THEY DEMAND
ED DISCHARGED DO NOT RE
TURN
The striking weavers of the Della
ware Cotton Mills, formerly known as
the Arlington Cotton Mills, returned to
work to-day, and the mills are now in
ull operation.
About two weeks ago nearly 200 OF
he weavers demanded more money for
their services, referring the manage
ment to several Chester mills, which,
they claimed. were paying their em-
ployes considerably more than the To-
al mills. The managers requested the
weavers to remain at work until they
could consider their demands. but this
they refused to do. and stopped imme-
diately. This caused a shutting down
Of the mills. and they have been mac
tive for nearly two weeks, when to-
day they reopened.
During the strike several consulta-
tions we're held between the manage
ment and a committee from the strik-
ers, which resulted in a compromise Of
1.-TWO cents more a cut on all grades OF
goods.
After some deliberatlon the strikers
decided to return to work. A. D..
Jones, president Of the company, who
came from Baltimore to attend the con-
ference, thinking that everything had
been satisfactorily settled, returned to
his home, but Manager Gambrill who
accompanied him to the station, had
barely returned to the mills. when he
found another committee awaiting him,
which demanded the discharge OF two
women weavers, but refused to give a
reason for their dismissal Mr.. Gam
brill refused to accede to their de-
lmands which he deemed unreasonable
and the weavers again declared that
they wisld not resume work. Opera
tions were then at standstill foI
several days.
Yesterday the strikers decided to re-
turn to work, and made the followinl
announcement
!, "The striking weayers at the Ar
llings Mills desire to announce tha'
: they will return to work tomorrow
morning. All differences involved il
the strike have been settled in a man
ner satisfactory to all concerned.
"The Committee
To-day they went to work. The two
women who were the bone Of conten

known whether they will on not. Th
management states that they will no
