Spartanburg special Of Thursday 10
Columbia State: The conditions at the
wrecked Clifton mills today are as sat
isfactory and encouraging as could De
expected. All calls for relief are being
promptly attended to by the author1-
ties in charge and there Is no reason
able dissatisfaction apparent. All Ell
forts are now directed towards get
ting away from Clifton the idle opera
tives. Transportation is being fur-
nished all who apply, but the dimcuty
is to gather up their household gooas
and get them on board the cars, as
there are only a few wagons aVaiia-
bile for this purpose. The relief COM
mittee proposes to take up this feature
of the work right way and as soon as
the operatives realize that there Is no
use to remain at Clifton they Will oe-
gin to seek and accept work elsewhere.
AS it is, mill men who have been tnere
to employ hands for factories else
where have found a Discrimination
among the operatives to leave and
some have given up, for the present at
least, their efforts to get operatives
from Clifton. When President Twitch-
ell went to Clifton this morning he was
;mportuned by the operatives who
stood on the river banks as he walked
from the ferry to the office. They beg
ged him not to send them away; 10
let them stay at Clifton. Mr.. TWitch-
ell told them kindly that they must
leave since there is nothing for them
to do there. He has been busy today
arranging transportation details and
holds out to the operatives no hope OF
work under six months. Lieutenant
Hearn, u. S. A., today visited the
scene with Congressman Joe johnson.
This afternoon he stated that in his
opinion the situation can be well ham
died by the relief committees, but as
a matter of abundant precaution he
will leave at their disposal the carload
of 1000 army rations which arrived
Yesterday. An expert mill man who
today went over the wrecked factories
for the second time, said this evening
that he now believes that at least 49,
900 spindles can be saved from Nos.
and 2, and that by rushing work
mill with that equipment can be ope-
rated within six months. The de-
struction of No. is so complete that
only one or two looms can be found.
Mr.. Twitchell Is now trying to place
contract for removal Of the wreckage
and until this is done the status Of the
corporation and the prospects OF re-
