MAY BE SERIOUS.
The strike OF the wool sorters at the
Atlantic mills, reported in The News

considerable trouble The wool sorters
claim the mill has less than four
days supply on hand, after which II will
be obliged TO resort TO a product known
as tops" which must be secured from
other mills manufacturing a similar class
OF goods. The sorters claim TO be the
best organized body In Rhode Island. The
men claim they held meeting In the mill
yesterday afternoon and decided to ask for
an advance OF s1.50 per week making
their wages s1450. which they say is what
every other mill in Rhode Island is pay
mig. When the committee went to the
office and made its statement, the mem
bers of the committee were told they
were among the men the mill manage
ment had decided to LAY off, for a while.
The committee returned and made its re-
port. Five minutes later the entire force
walked out
The first question TO be settled will be
the reinstatement OF the committee. and
after that the question OF an increase
will be considered. A party of toe sorters
told The News Democrat representative
that many OF them could find employment
in other mills. as men will be wanted TO
prepare the tops"
WILL NOT BUILD HERE.
II appears settled that Mr.. Waterhouse
viii not erect a mill in this vicinity. as
he could not come to time with the own
ers of land he wanted for this purpose.
II is reported. however. on the best OF
authority, that he has or will purchase
the plant at Elmwood. that was erected
a few years ago as a rubber factory but
did not prove a success. The building is
we'll suited for Mr.. Warehouses; pur-
pose. and the only drawback appears
that there are not n sufficient number OF
tenements for the large force of help he
needed TO operate the mill.
LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE.
There appears to be trouble brewing at
the Earnscliffe mills, extra hours being
the cause. The 72 weavers who work
nights have been requested to work from
6 o'clock Saturday evening until mid
night.
A meeting was held in Textile hall this
morning, and there was but one vote in
favor OF working nights. The 72 weavers
started in last Saturday noon and work
ed until o'clock, and they do not seem
TO care to work Saturday afternoons un-
less the night men come in. So just what
the outcome will be is hard to find out,
but the indications are that there will he
no extra work.
