those who wished to work from returning
10 their rooms.
At 9 o'clock a large proportion of the
strikers met in LeighStreet Baptist
church. when the ministers informed
them Of the result Of their investigation.
and advised them to return to work The
advice was not well received.
In the afternoon about 800 girls were
present at a mass-meeting held in Cor
cOran Hall. when they were urged by la
Dor leaders TO continue the strike and to
organize, and at night a considerable,
though not very large, number of the
girls attended meeting held on a vacant
lot on Twenty-ninth street, and were ad-
dressed by Mr. Alex. McCulloch. To-mor-
row an attempt will be made TO organize
union with the assistance OF trades
union men, and at night a meeting will
be held at some hall in the West End.
WORKING TO KEEP THEM OUT
1t is probable however. that the crisis
was reached yesterday, for many OF the
girls expressed a desire to return TO
hope that they will be. able TO hold the
bulk of the strikers together. Every ef-
fort will be used however, TO induce the
girls not to return to work, and with this
end In view a large number OF the
strikers will be on hand in the neighbor-
hood Of the factory tomorrow morning
to use their persuasive powers.
The factory hands were all paid on
yesterday afternoon. and with that func-
ton, Mr.. Philip Whitlock said, all con-
nection between the employees and en-
ployers ceased. Girls who want 10 return
to work will have 10 make formal appli-
cation. and only such girls will be re-
ceived as have a good record. The in
terests of the girls will be most carefully
protected said Mr.. Whitlock to a Dis
patch reporter last night, and while no
questions will be asked, and every in
ducement will be offered 10 the strikers
10 return 10 their places. 1t Is unlikely.
from what the manager SAID that the
ring-leaders will be- taken back under any
circumstances. A number OF applications
for positions were received at the factory
yesterday

advice was I'm every case tine same--that
the strikers should return TO work. The
concessions made by Mr.. Wnitlock were
laid before the meeting. and were re-
ceived with some qualification. "Iie point
