WEAVERS ON STRIKE.
-Four Hundred and Fifty at the Co.
chsco Mil Quit Work.
Trouble Caused BY the Discharge Of Loom
Flxsrs BY Agent Fish

Dover n. H., May 19.-About $50
weavers employed at the cotton mills
of the Cocheco Manufacturing Com
pany, struck this noon. owing to the
failure of Agent Fish and the Union
to settle their differences. All the wea-
vers are idle except fifteen. The en-
ployes of the other departments contin-
ped at work today, and 1t is under
stood that Agent Fish will attempt to
hire new weavers to take the places
OF the strikers.
The cause of the strike was the dis
charge of Edward Lord, Edward Lapin
and William Rossiter, three loom fixers
by orders OF Agent Fish, last Monday
morning, because of certain statements
they were alleged 10 have made dero-
gatory to the agents character and
certain other reasons not specified. The
mills were closed for two weeks early
in the month and the union men claim
that these discharges grew out OF the
previous strike.
The strikers held n meeting at nine
o'clock, this forenoon. 10 perfect plans
for carrying on the contest. Secretary
Whitehead, of Fall River. was at the
meeting and the weavers will have
the support Of the National Union.
The union members will receive 81 a
week while the strike lasts. The speak
ers at the meeting cautioned the strik-
ers to remain orderly.
