day Oiher Notes.

The strike, that has been on at the
Greenleaf johnson Lumber Mills for
the past week, came to n close yester-
day. The men all consented to go to
work again for the same wages as
before the strike. when 1t was made
known to them that the mills would
remain closed down through the
winter before the operators would be
recognized under any other conditions
The mills will start up again Mon
day morning Mr.. George Carmine,
one of the sawyers, has been APP
pointed superintendent of the saw
mills, instead of Mr.. John Thompson
under whom the operatives consented
10 resume operations under the former
eonditions- viz. eleven hours per day
II Is understood that the North
carolina Pine Association will re-
arrange the hours of labor, upon
what basis 1t cannot be said. but it
IS thought, If lumber keeps up as at
present, ten-hour day will be recog-
hized by all the mill men in South
eastern Virginia and Eastern North
Carolina, otherwise the mills will prob
ably run on eleven-hour basis, viz,
ten hours through the winter months
ana Twelve In the summer. The strike.
while II only lasted few days, was:
keenly felt by the business men of
the town In figuring their weekly
sales last night. The lumber Industry
OF Berkley controls a large amount in
circuation of the money In the town.
