to Go to Work-Painters Re-
ceive Donation.

Although it was predicted last week
,sts would return to work at the Harlan
n Hollingsworth Company on Monday
of this week, the prediction ,.u not
materialize. Not one of the union ma
chinists returned to work and from all
indications none are likely to + turn until
the demand is granted. The mectng Of
the stockholders of the Harlan 4 Hol
iingsworth Company which was an
nounced for today, will not be he'd until
next Tuesday. Officers will be elected at
the meeting and it us thought that an
agreement will then be reached with the
machinistS.
