Thsrs srs bowsver .one treasnrers Who
favor nm aarIv onsn;nr Thsv are the
ones who started the movement tn omen
gates Oct. 3. Il failed thsn. @blt they have
since been on the alert for chance TO
renew the agitation. They view the sit,ia-
tion from a business standpoint. They
believe that they can get help enough to
run the mills and that markets should not
be allowed 20 60 by default.
Tbsv are not moved nv svmpatbv for
the strikers. for they are satisfied that
tbose who return to work do 40 because
they feel that while market conditions are
against their demands. il is prudent for
them to earn what they can until business
picks UP. Then they will quit work again,
On the other hand, the operatives say
that such is not the case They boast
that they will not return until the reduction
of wages notices are taken down. They
find announcement in the fact that improve
ments are being made in the mills, new
machinery installed and cotton purchased
They believe it indicates that the mill men
expect some business and are preparing
to open to meet the demand
The loss in wages to the operatives now
foots up nearly 81. 900 600 and the effects
OF it are becoming more apparent every
day As the weather becomes more I'M
favorable the suffering increases. 1t was
bad a month ago: it IL much worse to day
The Salvation Army is feeding about 800
persons every day, the pauper department
ia nIpplyipe 400 families weekly and
there Ia a rush daily at every soup kitchen
and relief station. OF which there are nine,
one in each ward. Every applicant for aid
is poorly clothed and many OF the children
are without shoes or stockings. What
ever they get in the line OF shoes or clothes
must come from charity.
There are hundreds and hundreds OF
families in which there is no want. Some
members NAV be EMPLOYED in other trades
and some have saved and are amending
iudiciously. Members OF those families
are seen on the streets daily and their ap-
pearance would lead a stranger to believe
that conditions here are not 40 bad after
