wEAvERs OUT ON STRIKE.
Yesterday all the weavers employed at
the Naushon Mills In Valley Falls decld-
I'd 20 go out on strike on account OF some
difficulties that have arisen between
taem and the employers.
The difficulty seems 10 have arisen over
the matter OF the reduction I'm the wages
that was made and take this means OF
showing their feelings on the situation. L.
wss NJ first thought that tho craft wouid
go out on strike last Tuesday but some OF
the older men counseled waiting until the
Superintendent could be seen and In the
main tho advise was listened TO. While
matters were thus hanging FIRE the fore
man held conference with the superin-
ttaIcnt IN regard 10 the matter hut that
individual would come 10 no agreement
In the discussion.
When the facts of the conference were
communicated TO the committee from the
weaNers and In turn transmitted 20 the
general body IL was decided 10 quit work
In consequence OF this on Wednesday
even all OF the employees TO the number
or about 7b went out on strike. A. pres
ent all work az the mills is at a stand ?
stu Ia that department and will very
likely remain so TN the agent of the
concern can return and adjust mat ira
lie IL away and will not return TN some
time next week or perhaps later II was
the opinion or the superintendent that
enough OF the men would return 20 start
the concern again on Monday The men
claim that there will be no more work
done until suitable settlement car ne
had. For the purpose OF discussing the
matter freely and in unison me weavsrs
have rented ST. Anthony's hall where
meeting will be held tonight.
