The United States District Attorney

Middletown Transcript. In part it
reads:
"The theory of popular government
and Of manhood suffrage demands that

determination OF public matters. II
my neighbor can corrupt a hundred
voters so that he practically approaches
the polls with hundred and one votes

ciples of popular government? Is
there any considerable number Of men
in Delaware ready to pursue this in
iquitous course and seek to clean their
hands by the cry it is the only way to
win,' it is the only way to beat the
Democrats?'
IF valorous fight had been main
tanned for decade in Delaware against
a vaunted and shameless policy Of cor
ruption, should the voters OF Delaware
now supinely see their political honors
devoured by a leopard with spots un-
changed? Shall we now condone what
for decade we have condemned?
1T is not impossible to unite the
Republicans of Delaware. The princi-
pies of the Republican party honestly
expounded offered touchstone to solve
the problem. The principles and tradi-
tions Of that party from the time OF

Weayers Strike Again.
WOMEN RETURNED TO WORK
When They Walked in the Mills This
Morning the Other weavers
Walked Out and Work is at a
Standstill.

The 200 weavers employed by the
Delaware Cotton Mills Company are
lagain on a strike.
A couple Of weeks ago they struck
for higher wages and, their demand
not being Immediately granted; quit
work,
Melville Gambrill, who Is manager OF
the mills, requested the weavers to re-
main at work until the company could
consider their demands, but this they
refused to do. This caused a general
shutting down Of the mills.
During the strike several consulta-
tins were held between the managers
and strikers, which resulted in a COM
promise Of a raise Of two cents cut on
all grades of goods.
When the money matters were salts
factorily adjusted another trouble
arose. The weavers refused to resume
work If two Of the women weavers
were not discharged but refused. at
the time Of making the demand, tc
state any reason for taking such a
stand Later. they said that during
one Of their meetings the women left
the room and said that one Of the men
was drank and using language which
was unfit for any lady to hear.
Mr.. Gambrill refused to accede &
their demands on this charge, as h,
deemed it unreasonable, and one thai
did not relate to or interest the com
lpany in any way.
The weavers held of until Wednes
day morning, when they appeared a
the mills and stated that they wer,
willing to resume their duties. Th
company threw open its gates and al
lowed them TO do as they desired
The two women whose discharge wa
demanded did not make their appear
lance and everything went well unit
this mornins, when the women wake,
in. Then the other weayers walked
iout.
In an interview with an Eveninl
journal reporter this morning Mr.
iGambrill stated that he does not fee
Justified in discharging the women OF
such a flimsy charge. He also said h'
does not know what It will be fouh,
necessary to do before the trouble Il
settled for good and all He furthe
stated that all goods which have beei
manufactured since July, at which tim
the present company took hold Of tn
mills, have been placed in stock, no
any OF them having been sold.
