FOR ALL The
STRIKERS
Many Mu|espinnsrs Found Their
Places Filled at ManViIIe

Although the mulespinners OF the Man
Vile company declared the strike for ten
per cent increase In wages last Sunday
after is weeks rest. all the men who
appeared at the mill gates were not given
their places back and consequently are
out of a job
Fifteen of the Woonsocket spinners
found work at the Social and Globe mills,
but none were taken back at the Morse
mill because the supply OF roping is
short.
Some OF the factories have installed fll-
ing spinning frames and this supplants
che mulespinners entirely.
The number OF men who were to go
back to work yesterday is said TO be
about 80. and as but Is were taken the
percentage OF men out OF work is a large
one
The strike was not a successful one
from the first, as the mill people were
able 20 keep running with outside help.
At Manvlre 10 OF the strikers have been
taken back and eight pairs OF mules are
being repaired. which will admit OF hiring
more soon.
A feature of the strike was the run
ming Of seven pairs by backboys and these
have been retained, supplanting the regu-
lar spinners who struck.
