There is some Improvement in the
strike situation in the Pawtuxet valley
today, for Mr.. knight states that the
mills at Arctic and Lippitt are again
running on full time, the weavers hav-
ing returned to work. This condition
of affairs had practically been foreseen
on Saturday. although the weavers
We're very chary about admitting that
such was the case. The strikers have,
however. returned TO work, and this
has done much To clear up the situa-
tion.
At Natick, Riverpoint and Pontiac
there is no change for the present, al
though 10 is generally believed that the
strike which has now lasted fort
night, will not be OF much longer dura-
tion. as many of the weavers are be-
coming more or less disheartened az
the prospect. Some OF them however,
talk bravely OF their ability and will
ingness to continue the fight. There IL
an impression that during the next day
or two there will be some change Ina the
situation.
Mr.. Knight says that he hopes TO see
all the men return 20 work inia rev
days. for the strike has already con-
tinued longer than any former one III
the PawtuXet valley.

children.

claimed that the child had been placed
i'm the care of the wife of a teacher IN
the high school and had a home where
il would be well brought up.

After four years a full trial OF the
suit of former Lineman Alexander Nc

One day in 1895 Mr.. Mcdonald was

Mr.. Mcdonald claims he had no
knowledge OF any defect i'm the cross
