PRESIDENT CoNRoY'S ESTIMATE.
President Conroy said that reports from
estimate that only III per cent. of skilled
help have gone In. He said that the mule
spinners. loom fxers. weavers on fancies
and beamers had unbroken ranks. A few
desertions are noted in the slasher tend
ers and nappers. The ring spinners have
held together well. Some weavers have
gone in as only about 500 Of the 1000
were organized.
He said that OF the nappers who went
to work in the Appleton last week three
had been persuaded to leave. President
Conroy said 1t was reported to him that
spinners had been offered from 81 to 81. 25
a week bonus to return and the loom
fxsrs have been offered Sic as compared
with S12.25. the usual pay. He further
gave his opinion that the mills could not
continue to run. OF the stationary fire.
men he said that the report was not salts
factory as yet, but he thought many
firemen had stayed in with the idea OF
was on. he said, did not indicate any
thing.
Agent Thomas r. Boot mills said
Conditions are all nearly much better
than I expected. I estimate present be-
tween 700 and 800 operators have returned
TO work or not quite half of our entire
working forces. This morning a number
of loomfxers came In and there Is few
weavers. There is sufficient force to
enable us to start at once and We expect
more later when the timed ones are con-
vinced that the mills are going to run.
The finishing department cannot start
until the product is ready for It. We
have sufficient cotton and orders had to
run all summer The mills will not make
a cent for six months as the result OF the
strike, yet the treasurers have offered
the textile operatives of Lowell an oppor-
tunity to go In and make a living when
by keeping closed and selling their cotton
they could have made an immense profit.
or all the mills the interest centered
in the fremont and Suffolk from the fact
that here the greater number OF foreign
ers are employed. Conflicting statements
had been issued by Greek leaders. one
claiming that the 1000 Greeks would
stand by the union, and another that II
any union man was found deserting the
Greeks would go In. As matter OF fact
the early indications were that the
Greeks acted Independently.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Agent John J. Connell, said: THE re-
sponse of the operatives was better than
I had expected. One-third OF our loom
capacity, or about 1000 looms are in OPP
Grafton, besides 2s out OF 63 ring spinning
frames on the fremont and out OF 81 on
the Suffolk and six union loomfxers are
a. work. Not a mule spinner came In but
i shall start four pairs OF mules later
