IMPORTANT TO MILL MEN.
Meetings to be Held in Charlotte and

Trade.

Charlotte, N. c., September "a
number Of owners of hosiery yarn
mills arrived here on the night trains
for a meeting which is to be held to-
morrow, to consider the situation of
he trade. There is an air Of mystery
about the proposed action, which is
unusual n regarded by outsiders who
nave followed their former action as
significant. The representatives here
are with one accord silent when asked
what they propose doing, which is a
reversal of their usual policy. Rep
resentatives of the colored goods mills
will meet at Atlanta tomorrow, and

said to be unwilling to talk. MIL men

DESERTERS FIND
WORK IN TACOMA

As a sequel to the visit of the
cruiser New York and the gunboats
Marblehead and Concord to Tacoma
the first of this month. at least ~
of the bluejackets who had enlisted
in the navy and detailed to serve on
these ships are now in this city, liv-
ing the life of the landsman.
A few of them were left here when
the boats steamed out of the harbor
on July s, and the balance of the
number returned here from Bremen
ton on a two or three days leave
of absence.
In each case the men have become
tired of the restrictions of naval life
and are now either working or look
ing for work in Tacoma. The blue
uniforms which they were upon leay-
ing their ships have been sold or
safely packed away, and every trace
of their identity as mariners has been
obliterated.
In conversation with Times re-
porter yesterday one of the deserters
said: Il came over from Bremen
ton yesterday to find mate of mine
who was left here when the New
York steamed out of the harbor last
week. | found him this morning.
holding down good Job in one of
the business houses here am going
to stay with him and if we are not
followed up and taken back by force
we will not serve any more time in
the navy"
1t is said no special effort is made
by the officers to apprehend an es-
capped sailor, though reward of 500
or $50 is always offered for his
return to the ship. In many cases
if the men show a disposition to get
away they are given the opportunity,
and it is said they are often helped
by the officers to make good their
escape, so that the ship may be rid
of an unwilling crew.

Woodward, but to another party

small sum was put up as a forfeit

I'VE gave up the options on about

is to it. We own a certain frontage
