COTTON MILLS
Make a Demand for an In
crease ON all Extra

Made Known, But Will

Itself Today.

About $50 weayers employed at the
Delaware Cotton Mills formerly the
Arlington Mills will probably go out on
strike this morning, if their demands
are not granted.
The majority of the weavers are wo-
men and the trouble was caused by the
company trying to get them to do extra
work for the same money as they had
been receiving. The goods on which the
weavers have been working required GO
picks to the inch but new warps are now
being put in which will make IA picks to
the inch.
All OF the weavers work on piece work
ana have been receiving 50, 75 anL 81
cents per cut recording to the width Of
the goods Directly after stopping work
at O'Clock yesterday the weavers pro-
ceeded to the practising room of the
Brunswick Fife and Drum Corps, Van
dever avenue and Lamotte street, where
a meeting was held.
The weayers we've pledged 10 secrecy
and would have nothing to say about the
meeting after it was over. 1t was, how
ever, learned that committee was ap-
pointed to confer with Melville Gambrill,
general manager of the Delaware Cotton
Mills.
The committee met Mr. Gambrill at
the Office of the mills ON Vandever ave-
nue. last night, but the result of the con.
ference was kept secret and no one
could be found last night who would toll
what was done.
The committee was to ask Mr.. Gam
brill for an increase OF ten cents cut on
the goods where it requires "a picks to
the inch. If the demand is refused
the weavers will go out on strike this
morning.
IL was only last fall that tn,
beamers at the game mills went out on {
strike. Alter remaining out stvera

returned to work.
The mills have been unusually bus,
during the greater part OF this year. 4
