Ahout all one could hear about the
square this noon was in reference 70
strikes. the Earnscliffe. Atlantic and
Riverside mills and house painting nrm
being the concerns mentioned.
The first rumor was that the weavers IN
what is known as No. mill OF the Az
lantic company has come out, but tnis
rumor was chased up" and as near as
could be learned someone saw NUMBER
OF weavers walking down Manton avenue
an front OF the Atlantic mills. and from
this started the report that the weavers
were from that mill, but II was learned
later that the weavers came from the
Riverside mills, and came out on account
OF a break I'm the machinery, but all were
told 10 report later in the afternoon.
If there was any trouble at the Atlantic
mills. IL was not at noon time generally
known about the square. IL was learned
that there was just little hitch at the
Earnsclife mills this morning, but THIS
was confined TO the loom fixers, they be-
ing notified by the management that each
loomfixer would be obliged, until such tine
as the company could get full supply
OF warn. TO LAY Off two days week.
The loomhxers went 10 the Office, ana
there Al was decided, so the report goes,
that none would be laid of this week. but
II a supply OF yarn was not received, that
one section OF the weaving department
what the loomfxers Will do N this case
could not be learned.
Nothing could be learned about the
painters who are said 10 have struck as
there WIS no one about the square nor
about the hall where the local branch OF
painters hold their meetings could be
found that would give any information
that was authentic.

were called upon by Patrolman Cava-

to do. The patrolman had not gone many
feet from the scene when stone whis-

at the same time heard one OF the quar-
tet say: Let him come, we've got two
guns" But this did not deter the patrol
man. for he Jumped fences and ran
through a number OF yards gntil he cap
tured Edward German. The patrol wagon
was sent for and with IL came PATROL
