NOT YET, NEIGHBoR.
Wadsworth VIII Not be Side
tracked for Many Months.

The tearing up Of the old railroad
track three miles east Of Wadsworth
permanently sidetracks that once flour
ishing village Va. Report.
The track torn up was the old line
from the junction east of this place to
White Plains.
WadsWorth is still on the main line
and it is the opinion Of railroad officials
here that it will be impossible TO side
track the town before midsummer.
Steel has been laid on the new line
as far as possible before the construc-
ton Of bridges, but it will be a long
time before the bridges can be built
and the new line completed.
When this is done Wadsworth will
still remain the division point until
roundhouse is erected at the new site,
either al East Reno or the old prison
grounds.
Reno seems to be offering the com
pany no inducements to erect their
shops at the prison grounds, and, un-
less movement is made in that direc-
ton soon. it is likely the construction
of the same will he commenced at the
Mary Wall ranch.

MILL MEN ON STRIKE

 FACTORY QUIT WORK.
They Claim That New Rules of Com pensation Caused Reduction in pay-Places Filled and No
 Disorder.

Claiming an unjust cut in wages. fif- teen men employed as weavers in the feo- ples Cotton Factory went on . strike yesterday morning. The strike had no effect on the operation of the mill.
 When the men employed in the weaving room reported for work yesterday morn ing they declined to start their machines. Superintendent Wright was called to the room. He informed the men that they would either have to start their work, or leave the min. Mfr. Wright said last night that the men immediately started but as soon as he left the room, th~y at once closed down and walked out. Their places were immediately supplied. There was no friction between the strik- CTS and their successors.
 Superintendent Wright says that since the mill resumed operation about two weeks ago, there has been more or less dissatisfaction among the men of the weaving room on account of their being paid by the piece and not by time. He said that this was the reason for the dis satisfaction as given out blythe strik- iers. His own opinion, however, was that the men did not wish to conform with new factory rules in regard to the clean been enforced.
 { Superintendent wright in speaking oi the trouble said that the reason that the paying by piece did not suit the men as we'll as paying by time. was that they were competed to do thorough work now whereas when they were paid on the time basis the cloth was weaved in slipshod fashion.
 An strikers were compelled to move from factory row, There was no disorder connected with the strike. af .a
