OF them. are. and ready to fight the
American woolen company or any one
else.
At the time these men were imported
they were paid SIS a week. fed and
housed. AS announced at the time. on
Aug. /, all were put on piece work and
were cut from bed and board. and their
trials OF life began

and some OF the weavers made less than
81. after their board and room were paid
for.
Two weeks ago Otto Juggel and Max
Voight. who had been employed at the
Riverside mills at SIS etc, worked one
week In August on the regular scale OF
prices.
The former had s.s7 and the latter As
cents as the result OF a weeks labor.
They quit and went 10 Moosup. Conn.
but there they did not find a field that
would eventually lead them 10 riches.
So they threw up their jobs and yes
terday afternoon came into the square
and called at the Textile Union hall They
wanted money 70 get out OF town. but the
relief committee said they could do moth
Ing for them.
They then began TO be abusive and were
put out OF tho hall. On the street they
made themselves obnoxious 10 pedes-
trians
Patrolman Whipple made a grab for
Juggel and landed him in the Chaffee
Street station. but Voight darted through
Stokes street and was. a little later In
the afternoon. arrested by Patrolman
Whipple.
Both were locked up. and during the
evening showed that. while they were
employed at the Riverside mills, they had
learned at least few table manners, for
one OF them called for a drink OF water
and when handed In a pitcher full. asked
for a goblet.
Lieutenant Tyler Is at all times con-
siderate with unfortunates, but evidently
thought that Messrs. Juggel and voisht
could drink from a pitcher upon this aus
picious occasion. and. In fact. II they
drank at all, II would be from a pitcher
The men still held out that they were
well bred, and must have a goblet. and
the lieutenant said something about a
napkin and gave them one more chance
10 enjoy a drink OF Pawtuxet before he
left the cell room.
However. they declined. They did not
then drink. but at the end OF an hour or
more were willing to drink from a pitch
er or a pail. and when they were ready
to do so. were "watered." In the police
court this morning they were arraigned
on the charge OF reyelling. and were held
until tomorrow morning for trial.
THE STRIKE OUTLOOK.
The outlook Of the strike appears TO be
more complicated than ever, for II is un-
derstood that at Taft & Weeden's mill
the pay has been reduced rs per cent and
that all weavers. who are capable, must
run two looms.
The indications are that the weavers
who are now employed there will come

STREET OBSTRUCTION
The police have evidently become tired
OF caring for lanterns left on pile OF
building material on Webster avenue
These lanterns have burned but few

some one might be injured. sent TO the
station for a sufficient number OF lanterns

from the pile.
There are those who say that their Is
no reason why building material should
be left on this street. for any one erect
