the son was rather too much for the par

last evening IL was intimated that the In
terests OF these men will be cinsidered
first OF all. Three other departments of
the mill are already affected those being
the carding. combing and washing and
others must naturally follow. II is said
there will be general strike.
WERE NOT ASKED.
The night weavers OF the Earnsciffe
mills were not asked last evening TO re
port for duty at o'clock tonight and

ing before going TO work last evening and
talked the matter over and decided TO
stand by the vote taken earlier in the
week, not 10 work Saturday evening.
The day weavers will. however, work
this afternoon and will without doubt for
the next six Saturday afternoons.
