wEAvERs STILL FIRM
There was just little uneasiness
among one or two OF the striking weav-
ers Saturday evening on account OF the
ARRIVAL OF SO many men who have been
sent here by agents OF the American
Woolen company, but at monster mass
meeting held yesterday afternoon all fell
into line again and came TO the conclusion
that as they had fought the battle 80
manfully for 2s weeks that q few weeks
longer would not make any particular
difference.
II Is claimed that there are ESQ weav-
ers In Fletchers mills, but the strike
managers know just how many there
gre. and what the production IL. 1t is
claimed by the strikers that IL the mill
had 500 weavers Of the same class that
they have now Il would not cut any
figure, for the hardest lot OF workers In
all OF the mills today are the loom fixers
and the sewers.
Saturday NJ Ward, manager or the
Riverside Mill, called up Kennedy &
Cough. the well known grocers ana
market men for a bill OF goods TO feed
tho men who have taken the place or
the strikers.
Mr.. Kennedy. at once told Mr.. Ward,
that he, Mr.. Ward, had made his living
In Providence for many years. and 80
had he, meaning himself. and that he,
MIR. Ward, not the company. did not
have money enough to buy bill OF
goods from the firm TO feed any persons
who came here to usurp the places OF
men who were making a heroic battle
for what was right and just. Mr.. Ken
pedy then hung up the receiver and or
dered his clerk TO deliver no goods to
tho Riverside Mills.

leased a small farm a short distance
from his shop. and among the vegetables
that he planted were potatoes. The po-
tatoes have not yet made their appear
ance through the earth. and Jim. not
being an experienced farmer, sought IN
formation. The first person that he
asked Is known to bo q 'Joker." He
asked oil sorts OF questions and at the
conclusion OF the conference the joker
solemnly informed Jim that ne had
planted the potatoes upside down, and
the stalks were undoubtedly growing In
to the earth instead of out. Jim hardly
kynows just what 10 do. for he does not
care TO let the story out
