BIG STRIKE IN
BELLOWS FALLS

Bellows Fails, June Ia The strike
situation at the International Paper
CompAny's mills here remains un.
changed. An important meeting Of
the local branch OF the Civic fedora
tion was held and although little can
be learned pending the arrival OF a
representative of President GOmperS
now on his way from New York, it is
generally understood that the union
members will stand by the striking
shippers.
The shutting down Of the plant
brought matters to head and in the
present temper Of both owners and
employees long and bitter stru egle
is in sight. Today the office force is
at WORK in the shipping room clearing
away the accumulated paper that is
ready for shipment but little progress
is being made The lockout was
by four men in the shipping depart
ment demanding an increase Of 20
cents day ia wages and the refusal
involved over 500 men.
