At noon nearly 100 people were OUT
of work There were no diSorderly
scenes and the men. women and chill
dren laid off by the order went quietly
to their homes. At the headquarters OF
the mule spinners and the women who
left work Wednesday in the Darby
block several meetings were held dur
ing the day, but it is understood that
the strikers are no nearer to settle
ment or even temporary adjustment OF
their difficulties than before. When
seen by Journal man Thursday al
ternoon, Mr.. Pratt said that he had
not interviewed any representatives OF
the strikers Thursday and said that he
had no statement TO make other th;lh

IT is understood that the leaders of
the labor unions in Massachusetts VIII
attempt to adjust matters as soon as
possible. and it would seem inevitable
that the great mill must be closed un-
iii such action is taken and some terms
of settlement are decided upon.
The strikers in the city became aware
of another strike Just declared in North
Adams Mass, where 1900 weavers
struck because the president Of weaV-
ers' union was discharged. The Augusta
SINNERS claim that this case is SINH
lar to their own and they will watch
the outcome of the North Adams al

turing Co. will be held in Boston Mon

the company will take some further ac-
tion to settle the differences and re-
sumo operation of the mill the eNecu-

the maintainance OF the laws and JUST
ADMINISTRATION Of them in all c'ses re-

ment Of the interests and the develop
ment Of the resources Of Greenwood, to
the fullest extent compatible with the
ability Of her citizens, without working

ing, and management of it's affairs for
the comfort, convenience and benefit Of
the citizens of Greenwood, and NOT as
a source of revenue. believe in a
careful and economical disbursement OF

purpose Of obtaining support, hence |
have not, and will not, make any such;
but WILL promise, il elected, a strict
compliance with and faithful execu-
tion of the principles set forth above,
to the best of my ability. In conclusion,
if you can conscientiously give me your

and be assured that no matter what the
result, it will make no difference in my
friendly relations with the many good
friends that now have among the citi-
zens Of Greenwood.
