the president and two of the vice pres
idents, one petition asking that the
control of the society be taken from
the stockholders and given to policy
holders and the other declaring 1t to
be the opinion of the signers that the
reelection of James HI. Hyde who is
the owner of 81 ner cent of the stock
as first vice president would be preju-
dicial to the welfare and progress OF
the society.

troversy were in conference today with

said:
THE present movement is for the

LODI. Feb. 1.-THE situation here
is becoming more serious. Fewer men
were working today. There is much
suffering among the families Of strik-
ers. The director of the thread mills
at his own expense is daily giving
dinner to the Yorkmen's children of
whom $50 were present today. The
governor himself admits that the con-
ditions are very grave. He is anxious
to avoid bloodshed but fears ii will
be difficult. He has pre-emptorily or
dered soldiers TO refrain from eXcit-
ing the animosity OF the strikers and
that they must not shoot unless first
attacked. The governor fears that 1t
will be necessary finally to proclaim
martial law and this probably Will
end the strikei but it may cost many
lives.
The manufacturers are hesitating
and unable to reach an agreement
with regard to concessions. The large
mills remain closed. The situation
tonight appears to be most grave and
unless the deadlock is shortly broken
the outlook for settlement is extremely
discouraging.
