other callings who woke UP late this
morning most everybody is awakened
| in the morning by a bell or whistle, and
this morning there were no bells or
whistles. The mill workers feel quite con-
fident that "short" time will be OF short
duration and all are anxious to work at
this season of the year, on account of
the holidays.
