II has been rumored that Mr.. William
Ryder. who Is to sever his connections
with the Earnscline mills today. does
so OF account Of an affecting existing
between Mr.. Ryder and the higher Of
fcials. but such is apparently not the
case, for Mr.. Ryder says he resigned for
the p.rpose OF selling an attachment for
a loom which he and other expert mill
men say IL worth much money. Mr.. Ryder
was asked by the management OF the mil
IL a substantial raise OF his salary would
be any inducement for him TO remain,
and his answer was that he thought that
NE had a fortune IN his patent.
About 500 was contributed 10 a com
mite 20 procure for Mr.. Ryder "A testi-
monieI, for he has been held In the high
est OF esteem by those under him and the
management of the mill Is sorry TO lose SO
valuable a man.
IL f. whispered that Mr.. Richard Car
moody, who has been I'm charge of the
night weaving department, has been ten

might weavers has been asked 10 assume

The mills OF olneyville were never more
prosperous than at the present time, or
az least. were never msre rushed with
orders, for some have been running with
the full sets OF help ana all are running
some of their departments night and day.
The Riverside mills will open mp It's
dressing department Monday night. pro
viding they can find a complement of
dresser tenders which at the present time
Is somewhat doubtful. for this class OF
help f. exceedingly hard TO find.
As some OF the Riverside mills are now
running night and day, the opening Of
this department nights would indicate
that arrangements were being made TO
run it at its full capacity nights.
Perhaps the most pleasant feature OF the
entire situation Ia that there IL not a
whisper OF dissent among the thousands
OF employees and the business men and
~cemtnunity generally hope that matters
will continue in this pleasant manner in
definitely.
