Worse Than Meeting Francis.

A face that looked like meat block
and the rather daZed demeanor of a
well dressed young man attracted the
attention of quite crowd of pedes-
TRANS at the corner of Bridge and
Water streets about 10 o'clock last
evening. Blood was trickling from
several wounds ON his head and one
eye was decidedly the worse for wear
1t was very evident that the fellow
had been somewhere and had been
warmly received.
His lips were in such condition that
his language was badly mutilated. as
well as himself, but it was gathered
that he had gone for a quiet stroll in
the Sand hill district and had been at
tackled by five or six men. If his face
was any Indication of what happened.
that was the truth and all six had been
decidedly busy. for Il time at least
a physician was called to repair the
damage and Il police officer went in
search of his assailants. A rum0r was
in circulation to the effect that the
man had met Francis, but it could not
be confirmed.

AUGUSTA OPERATIVES
Nav Get Advance In Wages As Result
Of New Fall River Schedule.

Many Augusta citizens, merchants
and mill operatives have been wonder
ing what effect, If any, the new 10
per cent. advance in wages to Fall
River operatives would have at Angus
ia. Fall River is the center of the
print cloth industry in the United
States and naturally any change in
conditions there would be expected to
have an effect elsewhere. Agent AL
bert s. Pratt was interviewed by
a Kennebec Journal reporter Saturday
afternoon. He said:
Il haven't given much thought to the
matter because l haven't had time.
The other mills in the State will. prob
ably decide what they will do the first
Of the week and We shall do whatever
they do, if it is reasonable"
Mr.. Pratt was then asked concerning
the report that he agreed with Pres.
John Golden of the United States Tex
tile Workers Of America during the
strike, that the pay of the operatives
at the Edwards mill should be govern
ed by the schedule Of prices paid in
Fall River, he replied:
Mr. Golden was here when we had
the strike and we had a conference.
but not in regard to prices at all.
know the papers had it that we did,
but it was not So"
One would infer from the above that
there will be a conference of the Maine
mill agents this week and any advance
in the wages will receive due consider
alton.
