with peace apparently as far off as
ever.
No attempt will be made to reopen
the mills, this week, but it is possible
that a week from tomorrow, the agents
will make a test of the strength of the
organized crafts by an announcement
that their gates will be open to all
who care to return to work. Since the
investigation of the situation under the
state direction there has been feeling
that the factories would remain closed
until after the arbitration board had
made it's report and the statement of
one of the mill agents, tonight. confirms
this opinion.
Several Of the stronger fraternal or

their members during the strike
About $500 was received at strike
headquarters from various unions that
have been appealed to for assistance.
