MIR. DAVIS STATEMENT.
| why" said Superintendent Davi
Of the Sauquoit yesterday, 10 yo,
know what all this timing that you hes
| of amounts to? In our last four pay
we have distributed $5o,00O and hay
collected $3.50 In fines.
However, it's the scale itself whicl
is causing all the trouble and delay
/ It's preposterous to expect MS to Civ
1t any consideration at all. If We trie,
to pay, on their terms, the compan
would have to go out of business. TO
the present, matters are resting prett
quietly and ! do not think there Wi
be any new developments in the situa
! tion at our mill, until after Friday"
