KNITTING MILL STRIKE.
Large Fort Wayne Industry Shut
Down, with No Relief I'm Sight.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 10. - What
seemed at first, early in the week, a minor
wage difference at the Fort Wayne knitting
mills, which employs eight hundred people,
has taken on a more serious turn and the
mills are still shut down. The manager.
Theodore f. Theme, who founded the
mills twelve years ago under the Mckinley
tariff law. refuses to restore the old scale
to the five knitters who received notice
of a reduction. and now all the employees,
most Of whom are young women, have
gone on a sympathetic strike. Both sides
are still firm and the end is not in sight.
Associated in the ownership with Mr..
Theme are many of the leading capitalists
OF this city.
An important factor in settling this strike
is the fact hat i'm some departments of the
mill the operators own their own machines,
taking their work on contract and employ
ing their own helpers.
