STRIKE AT HOPE MILLS
of Cotton Mills Quit Work
Because of Employment of Italians
Company Claims That Lack of Home
Labor Made Such a Step Necessary.
(Snecial to The Messenger J

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., July 25.-1ester-
day the hands Of Hope Mills No. Z,
of the Hope Mills Manufacturing COM
pany, went on strike, followed by the
operatives of the three other mills OF
the system this morning ana all Ioul
factories are shut down. The grievance
of the force is that Italians were
brought here by the company to WORK
at the looms. On the part OF the COM
panv it is argued that labor was lmpos-
sib!e to procure here, the machinery OF
often lying idle and the importation
of these wOrkmen was a necessity. Oii
the part of the operatives, the bringing
of foreign labor was resented as tht
impOrtation of foreigners, with dl1Ier"
ent religious modes of life, customs
habits, ETC., was detrimental, besides
curtailing opportunities Tor emplo!
ment for home people.
In to this hour there are no disturb
ances but the company has called Cd
Sheriff Marsh to have deputies IN reau-
mess should trouble occur.
The Hope Mills Manufacturing com
nonv runs four splendldly equlppoa
mills with the best of machinery an

treating it's force we'll, and pa!lns
good prices for labor. This Is noS
strike for higher wages.

Patterson gains his strength from the
49 votes of Robson, from Bladen and
) from New Hanover
Brown it is said, will get about II
votes from New Hanover, 33 from Co.
lumbus and 10 from Bladen.
Cook will receive 81 votes from
Cumberland and from Bladen.
Goodwin gets 10 from New Hanover,
- from Brunswick and q from Far
nett.
These figures are based on the fOl
lowing approximate votes Of each Of
the counties, which are believed to be
very near correct, as far as can be as
certained at this time, though it is ad-
mitted the arrival Of a large number
OF delegates later may change them a
good deal.
4 fair estimate of New HanOver's
vote is considered to be about IL for
Brown, 3 for Goodwin and for Pat
terson and 1 for Cook.
Columbus has instructed for Brown.
Cumberland has instructed for Cook.
Bladen vote will be divided about as
follows: 10 for Brown, for Patterson
and for Cook.
Robson will start off, it is almost
certain, solid for Patterson.
Brunswick and Harnett have in
structed for Goodwin.
New Hanover is coming in for quite
a great deal of harsh criticism as the
result of the convention held there to
name delegates to this convention. 1t
seefs to be the widely prevalent Opin-
ion that one-man power was eXerted
and that the minority had no voice
though the delegates were appointed
by the chairman and a committee
named by him, it is believed that eacn
candidate received about his approx
mate strength and it is felt that the
harsh criticism is unwarranted.

The Word "Row.v

"Row" is one Of the many words
which are rising to responsibility with
advancing age. Todd's edition Of John
sons dictionary QS2O denounced, it as
"a very low expression" Since it ap-
pears to have ENTHUSIASTICALLY written.
.'rloue''' about a century, ago some, have
wished to find its origin in the French
'roue." Todd Identifies it with the
older "rouse," a. drunken bout, big
drinking glass or big drink; in which
sense that word several times occurs in
Shakespeare. Hamlet observes that
"the king doth wake tonight and takes
his rouse" Row Is supposed to be a
false singular. formed from .'rouse,"
mistaken for a plural, as '.pea" for
'pease." SHERRY" from "sherris,''
CHERRY" from "cheria" But it seems
simpler to explain "row" as short for
"row-de-dow." an excellent word for
noise.
