What are you going TO do with
the wooden mill. Is the movement
to be allowed TO die after 1t has bfen
three-fourths completed or will the
mill be secured and operated again?"
These questions were propounded
TO several local business men today,
men who have been leaders in the
move to retain and reopen the mill
Their answers indicated that there Is
yet good hope of carrying the move
ment through successfully. but not
unless more spirit is manifested than
at present.
There is a general tendency for
those interested to point to their
neighbors with the expression, 81 am
ready anytime to work and do all
can TO get him into line"
81 believe II would be a shame to
let the mill be taken away" declared
Monte B. Gwinn, president of the
American national bank 81 have
been ready all the time to do my part
and am still willing TO do so. But
am very busy with my own business
now and so am not In a position to
do any more than my share.
Several other leading business men
who were seen likewise expressed
themselves strongly upon the subject.
They declared themselves to be ready
at any time to get back into the har-
ness and work for the retention OF
the mill, though they asked to be ex-
oused from any publicity IN the mat
ter.
Seemingly the sole trouble with the
woolen mill movement is that the in
terest in the subject was allowed to
lag during the election. At that time
II was announced that work on the
movement would be resumed shortly
after the election and some work has
been done.
"The trouble is that just now we
are working against cold collars 81
declared G. NJ. Rice, cashier of the
First National bank, who has done
more work in behalf Of the mill move
ment than any other one man in the
city.
There is no reason why the mat
ter should not be carried out success
fully II all those who should be IT,
tcrested will just waken up n little
and help. We will very likely do.
