DURHAM, n. c., August 11.--Rev. j. T.
Austin, State lecturer, and c. P. Davis.
State organizer the committee appointed
to confer with President w A. Erwin, Of
the cotton mills, called on Mr.. Edwin to-
day, who declined TO grant an audience.
This evening T. x. Allen, secretary OF the
local union, left the mill, and upon his re-
turn was refused admittance, whereupon
some hundred and fifty Ct the best opera
tives walked out OF the mill on their own
account no strike having bean ordered. It
is thought Rev. Mr. Austin's speech last
night is largely responsible for to-day's
action. The situation looks serious.
Mr. Austin spoke to a good crowd in the
courthouse last night. His opening was
fair ana conservative, but ere he ended
spoiled it all by indulging in language
which could only widen the breach, using
insulting inuendoes against the manage
ment of the mills; told the rnorkingmen
of how the mill owners rode in fire car
riages, g., at the expense of their mus
Gle. and intimated that Il the mill owners
kept on playing fool. they would lose
their heads. He hurled his vituperation at
the press also.
