Mayo Mill Employees
Demand Discharge
of a Man.
The SUPERINTENDENT REFUSES.
Night Gang Leave Their
Machines, But the Mill
Continues to Run.

Millbury, Sept. 1.-THE night weav-
ers at the Mayo wooden mill at the
vest side went out tonight and refused
Ia work unless man named Andrew
Horrigan, a night weaver, was dis
charged.
The trouble began this morning, and
all day long the weavers got together
in groups of four and five and discussed
the situation with the result that to-
night the demand was made to Super
intendent ]. R. Greenwood that Hor-
rigan be discharged.
The demand was made about o'clock
this evening, when the day operatives
quit work and the night gang goes on.
The men of the night gang of weavers
gathered in front of the mill and walk
ing in made the demand of Superin-
tendent Greenwood, who refused to ac-
cede to any such foolish demand made
by gang of drunken and lawless men,
The weavers, with the exception of
about Is, marched out when Green
wood refused and say they will not
work unless Horrigan is discharged.
The grievance of the weavers about
Horrigan is in gloom. Some of the
weavers claim that the trouble is be-
cause Horrigan is going to open a
barber shop in the old Walling office, at
the west side, and they intend to boy
colt him and drive him out of town.
calling him a scab and other such
names.
After the weavers came out of the
mill, they gathered in front of Select
man w. e. Hornets store and com
menced to have a meeting, but Select
man Horne did not wish to have a
meeting irr front of his store, and drove
the crowd off. They then went down
town. Some of them were seen by The
Spy man, and said they would not re-
turn to work until Horrigan was dis
charged, and threatened to do him
bodily injury if he was caught outside.
Others say they will go to work
tomorrow night unless something new
turns up.
Supt. Greenwood was seen by The
Spy man tonight and said that about 20
looms were running and that he did
not intend to close UP the mill or to
discharge Horrigan.
Greenwood claims that it is the
whisky that is doing the talking for
the strikers. 1t is feared that bodily
injury will be done to Horrigan if he
is caught when the mile closes at 100
tonight to allow the night operatives to
get their lunch.
Selectman Horne was seen by The
Spy man and said that he was not
afraid of the strikers doing anything
dangerous.
