COCHECO
WEAvERS
ON STRIKE
Unable TO Secure Interview
With Mill Agent They
Quit Work.

Dover, n. IT,, Dec. s0.-Claimlng that
they had been paid less than other work

goods elsewhere and being unable TO OBJ
tain conference with Agent Fish. 200
wsayers OF the Cocheco Cotton mills,
here, struck today As the strikers have
the sanction OF their national organlza-
ton II is feared that the entire mill force
or the city numbering from $500 10 $500. will
become involved. IL settlement is not
speedily reached.
The striking weavers arc those who op-
Grated the looms in mills Nos / and 5
and who for the past few week have
been making fianneIette. a product new
TO the Cocheco corporation. The weav-
srs claim that the price fixed for these
goods was 13H cents a cut, although it
is maintained that the price paid in 9TH
er mills for the same work is from l6
10 1s cents cut.
At first the weavers were undecided
what action TO take. Then they held
a meeting and voted 10 ask for a confer
ence with Agent Fish and for more than
a week they tried In vain to get at the
agent. the ysay. At length, the feeling
an issue and IL was voted that II Agent
Fish did not consent To a conference be-
fore this morning, the sggrieved weavers
would strike.
No meeting having been arranged the
wsavers took their places this morning
prepared to go out. They claim that
they made final attempt TO reach Mr.
Fish through their overseer. but were told
to 60 out IL they wanted TO. This they
did. A meeting will be held tonight to
map out further proceedings
From the fact that last summer when
the new organization OF textile operat-
ives, the United Textile Workers of Amer

were unanimous I'm Joining IL and that
from the ranks of Dover men, Secretary
Hibbard was chosen.
1t is feared that serious trouble may
develop unless differences are adjusted.
Secretary Hibbard has been detailed to
handle the strike and he is expected

er I'm this city. he knows the situation
thoroughly.

SAVED
LIVES OF
FAMILY.
Prompt Action by Miss Field
When She Found House
Filled With Gas.

A very lucky discovery was made by
Eva Field. daughter of Samuel Field. of
ISL South Main street, at o'clock this
morning.
Through her prompt action the lives of
all in the house were probably saved. for
all would have been poisoned by gas.
Miss Field was awakened by a sense
OF suffocatlon and. throwing off the desire
to sleep, found that the house was filled
with escaping gas.
She ran to her fathers room awakened
him, and then called the other members
Of the family.
An investigation disclosed that Adie
Field. a son. had come home at 1880 last
night and had accidentally turned on the
gas In the kitchen after he had extin-
guished the light.
The escape had been free one and I'm
another half hour the household would
have been so completely under Its in
fiuence that asphyxiation would probably
have ensued.
The house was aired. the family re-
gained their composure and retired to-
sleep away the few hours that remained
ere IL was time to begin the round OF
daily duties.

new TRIAL.
Sought by Defendant in Case
Of HuiChins vs.. RsmhaIter.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices Til
lnghast and Rogers today heard the case
of George Il. Hutchins VS.. John Il. Rein
halter on defendants petition for new
trial.
This was an action OF assumpsit
brought upon three promssory notes.
The three notes were dated Sept. 13. 1899
and were payable in three, six and nine
months.
Mr.. Hutchins endorsed these notes TO
the Ashaway National bank as collateral
security for his. Hutchlns', note and the
notes arc still held by tho bank. The
notes were secured by mortgage.
Judge Douglas heard the case original
ly, jury trial having been waived and
he decided the plaintiff could sue upon
the notes. even though they had been
endorsed 10 the bank and that the plain
tiff could apply the proceeds OF the mort
gage sale TO the eNtinguishment OF the
notes as he saw fit. and rendered decision
accordingly. The counsel for tho defend
ant argued today that the decision OF
Judge Douglas was erroneous.
a number OF grounds were cited. viz:
The decision should be set aside. the chief
being. that the notes having been en-
dorsod 10 the bank ~ plaintiff could
not sue on them. John W Sweeney was
counsel for the defendant and a. h.
Crafts. counsel FOR tho plaintiff.
