Reasons for Striking.

Editor THE STAR:-The employees Of
The Enterprise silk mill Of Reynolds
willie came ont on strike at noon Mon
day. February Ith, rs you have already
mentioned. and with your permission
we want to make public statement OF
some Of the reasons why we are ON n
strike.
Some Of the employees have been fined
beyond reason. One young lady was
recently fined $3.50. This lady has been
fined over $500 during the short time
she has been working in the mill.
There are other fines too numerous 70
mention. One cmployc was fined 81 80
(tbreo days work. for quitting the mill.
There are five entrances into tho mill
and four Of these are locked all the
time. Tho windows are also nailed.
On the 4th instant the employees who
carry their dinner were forced to stay
in the mill during the dinner hour, as
the doors were locked. and they could
not attend the meeting which was being
held at that time.
One Of the employees was discharged
for an ofrensc which every one commits
II ono is compelled to leave for this
reason, why not discharge all ? Now
we, in behalf of the Enterprise EN-
ployes, ask is this justice? Should we
be imposed upon in this way any longer,
or are we doing wrong in staying out
until we get what we demand?

Silk Compauy's Explanation.
REYNoLpsvILLE, PA, Feb. II 'O1

REYNoLDsvILLE, PA, Feb. IL '0l.
EDITOR THE STAR,
DEAR SIR:-As there seems to be a
number of conflicting reports as to the
cause Of the present trouble at the silk
mil, we wish to state the facts. The
striking weavers have gone out to force
the reinstatement Of two weavers, one
Of whom made a very bad piece Of
goods, which can only be sold as imper-
feet When this weaver was called
into the Office and told about this piece
he was very impudent to the superin-
tcndent, refusing TO promise to try to
make better goods. Naturally, he was
laid Off, as it stands to reason that II
the company is obliged to accept such
imperfect work, it would soon be forced
out Of business.
The other weaver not only did not
stay at his looms but acted In highly
improper manner towards one OF the
girls in the mill. Although warned a
number Of times about this, he still con-
tipued to act in the same manner and
he was also laid Off.
II must appear to every one that II
the hands refuse TO obey the rules of
the mill, to attend to their work in an
orderly manner, the mill might as we'll
close down.
The company bears no malice towards
these two young men and was perfectly
willing to take them hack II they had
apoligized for their past misconduct,
which they refused, and had promised
not TO repeat the offense, and to attend
to their work In future.
The present management has always
endeavored to run the mill so that no
self-respecting girl or boy need be
ashamed to work there, and is deter
mined that proper order shall be OBJ
served, and no indecent conduct will be
tolerated. 1t is willing at all times TO
listen and act on any complaint, and
remedy same II found to be justified.
Respectfully yours,

The County Editor.

Perusal of tho columns Of papers pub
lishcd in districts far removed from the
hustle and everyday excitement Of the
cities Is liable To make the reader be-
lieve that the life Of the country editor
Is zone grand, sweet song" Here, in
deed, seems to bo an individual who
pursues the even tenor Of his way,
quietly gathering up the neighborhood
gossip, scraps Of information, and at all
times keeping watchful eye on the In
terests Of the community. But the
path OF country editors IL not always
strewn with roses. Many subscribers
are forgetful aud reminders that they
are in arrears are often in vain. Hence
the occasional walls from the sanctum
and suspension Of weeks issue. The
country editor who bumps up against
such troubles is deserving better fate.
He is one of tho forces Of civilization,
and too often he is handicapped by ad.
verse circumstances. Conn
