 The picnic given by the machinists at the driving park Friday right and Saturday was not quite as successful as the previous one. About $40O was cleared over all expenses The sports were enjoyed by great crowds and dancing was like perpetual motion.

The time limit set by President Baci in which the strikers may either rc- turn to work or be discharged, expires tomorrow.

He wrote that he would be in Lynn in a few days and when he failed to keep his promise his friends there were greatly disappoint- ed.
