but the leaders In fairness TO all urged
the men TO adopt the plan so that they

operatives In the concern. they are all
skilled, and command good wages The
object OF the removal to woonsocket
is that there IL more help there who are
skilled In cotton work than here, for
while Oineyville has much first-class

This imll has run steady and a greater
portion or the year ran over time since
IL were put In operation.
